Attended Archie Emeritus Yong's Funeral...

It's rather a sad day for all the Catholics in Singapore as most of us (especially for me, who is caught by surprise of the news of his passing). He is a well respected man in the Archdiocease in Singapore, has a good sense of humour. Here are some of his little jokes during his homily a few years back when our church celebrates the feast of Holy Trinity, about 10 years back:

What is Jesus favourite brands of shampoo?
What is Jesus favourite coffee?

The answer for question 1: Follow Me and Rejoice!
Answer for question 2: Nestle 3-in-1 coffee

His passing is a peaceful and quiet one, though I am not very close to him, but I do respect him alot! Even the skies do, it drizzles a little when his tomb was sent to Mandai.

RIP Archbishop Emeritus Yong.

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord
who abide in his shadow for life
Say to the Lord, "My refuge,
my rock in whom I trust!"

And He will raise you up
On Eagle's wings
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun
and hold you in the palm of his hand

The snare of the fowler will never capture you
and famine will bring you no fear
Under his wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield

And He will raise you up
On Eagle's wings
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun
and hold you in the palm of his hand

You need not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
though thousands fall about you,
Near you it shall not come.
And He will raise you up
On Eagle's wings
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun
and hold you in the palm of his hand

For to his angels he's given a command
to guard you in all of your ways;
up on their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone
And He will raise you up
On Eagle's wings
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun
and hold you in the palm of his hand
