St. Anne Feast

Today, me and my CUS friends went to the St. Anne feast in Bukit Mertajam. Actually, i never heard anything about St. Anne feast in my country and it was not such a big event like what they have now in Penang.

We went from USM around 11 something since the bus was pretty late and when we reach there, the church already very crowded. I was very amazed, i feel like this event is the small version of St. Peter Church in Vatican where a lot of people gather and wait for the mass. They even willing to stay in a camp and wait for the open mass.. OMG..

See.. They even stay over in the open place like that.. But the open mass is really really crazy la, they got the picture that all people gather until the outside of the church..


There's also a lot of people standing in one line in front of the church gate for a devotion so that their wish can come true.. This scene i took at 1 something and it's not so many people yet. But when we finish our english mass the people who gather there become so many..

Another funny thing for today was, we wrongly come for the mass. We didn't come for the english mass but we come for thai mass. So then, we don't understand anything the pastor said.. hahahhaa. Because of that we go for the second mass at 5.30pm since it was the english mass.. It was a bit sad that we can't go for the open mass and we also don't know that actually this church provide a dorm for the people who wanna stay over. That's really too bad..
But we were quite satisfied for today since we were able to do the way of the cross and also do a lot of camwhoring until a lot of people starring, smiling, and even laughing at us.. hahahhaa.. We went back at 8pm and reached hostel at 9pm.. It was tiring but fun.. Hope next year i can come again and especially come for the open mass.. ^^
