I, THANK YOU

Dear Sponsors,

today during the confirmation mass, as our neophytes went up for the anointing of the chrism, sealing of the holy spirit, i was reflecting on the whole program, the ups and downs, the good and the bad.

when i got this task to be in charge of the confirmation program 3 months ago, i was in a rather panic stage coz i had like less than 3 months before the confirmation and frankly speaking, there was alot to be done. i would really have to thank BERNARD, KENNY and KIRSTEN(ex rciy sponsor) for sitting with me at mos burger and painlessly planning the program with me. i still remember kirsten helping me draw the timeline, bernard and i discussing which part of the program to keep and which part we can do without then kenny giving us pointers and reminding us what's impt and all.

then it's the opting and assigning of sessions which i got to thank everyone. thank you for putting up with me, the bad tempered, demanding and uncompromisible old woman when i assign u all with sessions and none of you actually said no or argued with me. as i reflecting back, i am really amazed that u all actually put up with me...haha... but really THANK YOU THANK YOU. without all of your support, many things could not happened like canteen, like YGA. THANK YOU JOY and BERNARD for making the YGA different, meaningful for our neophytes. now YGA has a meaning, serving has a meaning. THANK YOU DAPHNE and JOYCE for convincing EDWARD and KIMBERLY to take charge of the canteen and in the end, impacted EDWARD's spiritual life. he changed so much that i couldn't even believe the EDWARD i see now is the same guy i saw 2 years back!

i also want to thank LOIS for taking charge of the camp, CASS, BERNARD and KENNY being part of the camp comm. i will never forget the times when we stayed under cass's block to plan session, the tele conference meeting we have so we can get the camp program out. those were the difficult times and when we can't seem to perserve and seem stuck, thanks for being there for each other, so we can eventually come out with a program that is so enriching, so spirit filled for the neophytes.

and the rest of the other sponsors for doing all the other sessions, whether it's class or camp. THANK YOU CASS for playing all the songs. u r power! i never see someone learn songs as fast as you!THANK YOU JORLYN for allowing me to lead worship with you during the camp so that i fianlly know what isit like to lead worship, THANK YOU EUGENE for lending us the powerful sound system that our camp seem like i dunno how to put it, just pro...ha. THANK YOU VINCENT and DARYL for fixing the room up with the so many wires, so many mics and so many what have you and THANK YOU AARON for the laptop. THANK YOU ELAINE, DAISY, MERLI for doing the food and admin. you girls are just power! THANK YOU FREDDIE for the log and never saying no to my buying requests and giving moral support in my sessions. THANK YOU PATRICK for log and also returing the keys when we accidently broguht them back with us after we break camp. and THANK YOU all the other sponsors for doing the sessions. the camp really empowered our neophytes and impacted them to totally be sealed with the holy spirit today.

i need to thank all of you too when we need to chase for the details, the family spirit was so strong and the we really managed to gather the info and send to the secretary within 3 days. without the cooperation of everyone, this really could never be happening. today, as i sit there thinking, i really think we make miracle happen. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU ALINA for taking charge of confirmation, for handling paul sim, for doing such budget yet beautiful and meaningful confirmation gifts, for being so steady and cool when i am nearing frantic as usual. THANK YOU MOARIE for booking and ordering and serving us at uncle david's, the food is superb especially the pig and the price is perfect. of coz, cannot forget about SIMON for letting us go his house to chill after that, you really have alot of games! THANK YOU, THANK YOU , THANK YOU ALL.

i wont forget THERESA, the parish secretary for helping us with the certs, though she wasnt exactly very friendly but she really did helped us so much, UNCLE ERIC who helped us with the rooms, ALL the 3 priests who helped us throughout this journey especially FATHER ROBERT. i wont forget my 2 bosses, BEN and AARON. thank you AARON for lending me your listening ear and analysing things for me, thank you for single handling the session we supposed to do together. i will missed the time when we analyse alot of stuffs and make bold speculations about the future. thank you BEN for giving me so many advices until i blur, thank you for always able to calm me down when i panic with your so many funny logics, thank you for reminding me to let go when it's time to let go. oh ya, and i cannot forget money man ARTHUR for all the money, always turning up with money when we need it, keep accounts and all the times when you keep us focused on our objectives during our many discussions. THANK YOU.

lastly and most importantly, i thank GOD, OUR FATHER, JESUS, MY SAVIOUR and HOLY SPIRIT, MY GUIDE. THANK YOU COZ IT IS BECAUSE OF YOU THAT I CAN TAKE THIS UP AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE TRUE MEANING OF DISCIPLESHIP THROUGH THE PROCESS. THANK YOU! YOU ARE AMAZING!
