Was baptized last week on the 26th of March..so happy!! Gonna recieve my Church Membership Cert this Sun..two days from now!!
This is my experience..
After church..the photographers took some pics of us before baptism.(don't have them yet)
Mom said : Joee!Did you take everything?
Me : Extra clothes..Check.Hairbrush..Check.Plastic bag for wet clothes..Check.Oh blast!! I FORGOT TO BRING MY TOWEL!!
Mom : Haiyoh..you ah..this..forget.That..forget.Nevermind..ask your friend if you can borrow.
Me : You ask?
Mom : No,your responsibility.You ask.
Me : *sigh*
The baptism place was in another church not too far away...but mom misread the directions.Not that she normally does.Hehe.
So,we ended up slightly late for the event.When we reached,they were still filling up the pool- they drain all the water out after every ceremony to prevent fungus from growing.Uggh fungus.
After a few songs,it was time for the baptism,but the water wasn't completely filled up yet..only about half way.Almost.I bet you're thinking..'How did they baptize us?'
Simple.We bend our knees slightly.
What's worse..I was the first one!!AARGH!!
When I was in the pool,
Pastor asked : Have you recieved Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour?
Me : Uhh..Yeah!
Church : *Laughter*
I was thinking so much about how they were going to baptize us..I didn't realize he had asked me that question.So, I did the logical thing to do.Say 'Yes'! Only, it came out as.. Yeah!!And of course everybody laughed.When I got out from the pool,mom passed me Su Ann's towel.(I managed to borrow from her) She was the third one so that gave me a bit of time to dry off.
I rushed to the toilet to change..and also because it was cold and I wanted to get dry as soon as possible..and since we had to go inside the men's toilet to reach the ladies' toilet, *pic above*
I accidentally went inside the men's toilet.I didn't even know 'cos it was no different from the ladies toilet.Talk about embarrasing!! Good thing there was no-one there..hehe.When the last candidate had been baptized,the church photographers took pics of all of us.My eyes hurt after that photography session..too much flashes!!

After baptism,I and Su Ann went to Summit.Had lunch at some chinese shop..the dumplings there were quite nice.The shop had some really BIG aquariums there..and saw a kind of clam named Geoduck.It was HUGE!See pic above.
A lot of people asked me..'So,did you feel anything after the baptism?'
I, being me, said 'Oh, I felt wet!!'
