  Let discuss more on spirituality than petty arguments but we Catholics must also be prepare to answer questions from our separted brothers and sisters.

  Sorry, my previous introduction was too brief.
  
  Ok... I was a cradle Catholic from Queen of Peace. For years, my family has stopped going to church. They have become what we called the lapsed Catholic. So when I reached the age that I should be attending Catechism classes, nobody registered for me, nobody brought me to church.
  
  Then slowly, I was introduced to a Protestant church, under the denormination of Presbyterian. Many years later when I reached 18, I decided to go back to the Catholic Church, for the confirmation. As I was a special case (most catholics got confirmed at the age of 14 or 16 ... can't remember), the church arranged for a one-to-one crash course on the sacrements.
  
  After some months of preparations, I was finally confirmed at the church where I was baptised .
  
  This year, I have just moved to Bukit Batok and have since cut myself away from the church activities in the East district, due to the distance and commitment. I have yet to meet anybody in SMOA or take part in anything.
  
  End of story....

  My parents were baptise in Sts Peter & Paul
  Therefore, I have a special feeling for this church. Sometimes, I don't mind travelling all the way there to attend Mass Is it still under renovation? Boy, I love the building. It's soooooo catholic

  Your bf a Catholic?
  
  Have you considered signing up for RCIA?

  is your bf catholic?
  
  if so, he can help
  
  anyway, in Holy Cross, just enrol yourself in the RCIA if you are over 21.. it's a continual thing so there are no starting dates and all that... people there will be more than glad to help you along
  
  i should know... they helped me a long 10 years ago
  
  websites to look at:
  
  Holy Cross in the Church Directory
  
  Official Website of the Church of the Holy Cross

  It's too modern. I don't like. I am very traditional one. Only like those churches with pillars, like Nativity church, St Joseph (at Victoria street) etc. I have so far only attended Mass once at St Mary. Other times, I go to other churches.

  i don't mind stuff like that..
  
  for traditional ones, i liked one that isn't a church now... played a big part in me being catholic... the chapel in CHIJ.. what is now CHIJMES... went there a few times to meet my sis.. was early so went into the chapel, and sat in there... on a weekday... it was so peaceful!
  
  i love a few churches in Melbourne.. went to several for Mass when i was studying there... they are so old and beautiful.. a little bit run-down but that kinda adds to the charm

  Wah, your sis is a nun in the convent? Or else why must go there and meet?
  
  By the way, who worships at Cathedral of the Good Shepherd? I think this is the Catholic HQ in Singapore.

  Continue to attend the Novena devotions, and seek the intercession of our Mother. She will always lead us to God..

  Cathedral is not a parish. But once in a while I do attend Mass there. They provide lunch time Mass at 1.15 pm every week day. Last time I used to attend every day after school before going home.

  me too like traditional ones. the modern ones are all air-conditioned, which is good in a way. but if i feel down at odd hours, the hall wun be open for mem unlike traditional one like novena church. even at 10 pm, you can still sit down there and pray.
