Prayer in Chinese is actually quite amazing.

I must say that although I really don't know what I was reciting, I was reciting it anyway and did a translation in English in my head.

It was especially funny when Jeri sat us down to recite the words after her. It was as though we were all in a classroom with a teacher leading us to read! And read, we all did, with the enthusiasm that we have, even if we had to struggle.

It's amazing. I honestly CANNOT read the words, and I don't even understand the hanyu pinyin. Not to mention, I really didn't understand the words until like maybe, the third decade of the rosary. I then decided that to facilitate my understanding better, I should try to infiltrate the English version in to make sense of the words. Although I think I pronounced the words wrongly. Hehe. *sheepish grin*

I still can't say the "Glory Be" properly. :(

However, I want to thank everyone who took part in this prayer meet as well, especially to Jeri and Kenny for preparing the Chinese rosary for us! I know it's difficult to type in Chinese, what more include the pinyin for it. Ok at least I can't type in Chinese! I'll take a million years to find the words.

Thank you Ber for opening your house (so convenient for me. Hurhur!) and having your mom prepare deeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious curry! Yummy! And everyone else who helped to fill our tummies in one way or another.

The games and lanterns and sparklers as well! How can I forget that. Brought back memories of my childhood days, burning lanterns (not lighting them. BURNING them.) and attempting to set half the playground on fire with candles. We only did it to a bench. DAMN. (Meli you should have came down to play with the sparklers as well since you bought them!)

It was indeed one of the best best best best prayer meet I've ever ever had. And Jeri, although I didn't understand your prayer, I know it is good. Because I could feel the Spirit.

:)
