Ned's Christening

Under Construction

Matt's brother Paul appointed Matt to be his first son's God father, so we left Singapore on Thursday night and arrived Heathrow on Friday to attend the ceremony on Saturday. On Friday night, we went to a local place to listen to some Jazz over few pints with Matt's dad's friends. The souvenir from Singapore Chinese New Year 'Ba Kua' was popular. Then we traveled by car with Matt's parents, Matt's grand mother aka Nan, Matt and myself for about 2hours to get to the Church the next day.It was my first time to meet his extended family and his nephew.After the ceremony, we went to Paul's house for the after party, then at night we went to meet Matt's old school mates at a pub which chased us out (closed) at 11pm. We were left outside to freeze so we ran back to one of Matt's friend's parents house for some port (only alcohol left in the house).

Those cakes with those cute faces, are those edible?

Yes, aren't they cute?
Though I can't understand how one can eat them!

At baptism, one gets a patron saint's name, eg in Naomi's case :
St. Benedict. What's Ned's patron saint?
