In the afternoon, we headed for the 1st parish.
Church of the Assumption.
It was a small parish, but still the crowd was a good size. Haha. At least we didn't have to immediately face a large crowd and suffer from stage fright.
We decided that we would do the 'SMU jump' at every parish. Sort of my idea lar, but the youngsters went along. It was sooooo fun.
Our 2nd parish was Church of Divine Mercy... the KL one.. haha..
The parish was beautiful. The people were so welcoming and they treated us with so much warmth. We joined in the ending of their Saturday evening mass and the whole congregation was actually singing along. They even sang "We are one in the bond of love" to welcome the new people to the community. After mass, we had our performance and we were quite surprise that so many people actually stayed back to watch us. Amazing isn't it?
After our actual performance, we were outside taking photos and all, they actually asked us for an encore performance.
All in all, I think I enjoyed interacting with the people from the Church of Divine Mercy the most.

We went to three parishes on the 2nd day of performances.
St. John's Cathedral, Church of Our Lady of Fatima, Church of the Lady of Lourdes.
St. John's Cathedral was sooo big, it was like Cathedral of the Good Sherperd in Singapore. People from all over the place came to St. John's Cathedral and there are exceptionally a lot of Africians, (i think).
I hope enjoyed the song SIYAHAMBA. Didn't manage to get any photos at St. John's though.
Next parish was Church of Our Lady of Fatima. I was so touched when Father Clarence actually said a closing prayer for us, blessing us with so much more blessings.
Although we didn't get to sing in the main church hall, the audience were still ever supportive and enjoyed the music we brought to them entirely.
I didn't manage to get any photos at this church too, will get them soon enough.
Last of all, we went to the Church of the Lady of Lourdes, where we did our performance and also sang for mass. The people there were so enthusiastic. I have never heard a congregation sang so loudly before.
And because it was Father's Day, they had a special dedication to Father Frederick. And we sang "Wherever You Are" for him. It was an orginal song written by Darius, but the congregation managed to catch the words and tune and sang along with us.
It was such a powerdul feeling to experience at that moment. Just imagining people singing wholeheartedly, full of emotions to a song that they just learnt. It was simply a miracle.

The next two days were free and easy for us...
So it was shopping shopping and more shopping... :)
We headed to KLCC for photo-taking. They tried so hard to get the twin towers into the picture. And they did, finally, but i couldn't find that photo. Haha.
When we went into the shopping centre to look around, the place was shaking so badly i could feel the vibrations when i stood still.
Look at the poses of those who were trying to capture the whole twin tower with us in it. Haha.
This photo totally captured the moment... =P

Before we left, i managed to snap some photos with the people who i really got to know better after the trip.
Words can't decribe the wonderful experience i had in KL. Hopefully our plans to go Indonesia next year will come true!!!
