Ash Wednesday 2008

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent and occurs forty days before Easter. The day gets its name from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of the faithful as a sign of repentance. The ashes used are gathered after the Palm Crosses from the previous year's Palm Sunday are burned. The ashes are mixed with the oil and used by the clergyman who presides at the service to make the sign of the cross, first upon his own forehead and then on each of those present who kneel before him at the altar rail. As he does so, he recites the words: "Remember (O man) that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

This is the first time I attend this mass and it is very special.

Can you see the ash cross on my forehead? and Avner forehead too.....

This morning I woke up at about 5:30am. So, I start to feel a bit drowsy now...... think of getting some sleep now.

Today is Chinese New Year Eve...... So, all of us need to stay at home to do the house decoration. Grandma is getting ready all the foods which need to cook for dinner tonight at the kitchen.

It's really boring to stay at home. The dog and I is looking at each other. Haha.....

There's a fly on the sliding door. Mommy try to show it to me so that I can have something to play with. Hehe.....so cute!!!

This is the gift from Uncle Jesse and Aunty Leh Liong when I was born. It's too furry for me at that time. Now is time to give it back to me.
