Darren's Birthweek!!! Part 2

20 Sep
Hmmm, what happened this day.... oh I think it's Meiyi's birthday or is it Alina's? Meiyi is on 19 Sep and Alina on 20 Sep! My two RJC 2SO3C classmates, who are currently medical officers.
But I believed I slept through this day.... oh and in the afternoon I started calling up the new recruits to get their details eg home no., email, msn accounts, sch, eca, which day they would be coming... Oh and there was a pleasant surprise... Cuz I had invited the new recruits to come on 23 Oct... 3 girls - Denise, Stacy and Brenda asked if they could come the following Sat 25 Sep! How enthusiastic! Now Denise is a tennis player at TKGS, Stacy is an alto in her choir at Kuo Chuan Presbyterian, and Brenda in softball at TKGS... Brenda incidentally is Daryl Loh's sister... Daryl was a naval officer trainee who was killed in a naval training accident 3 years ago... and g2 also sang for his funeral....

Played tennis!!! the whole morning! Yizhi, Mong, Wolah, Bala, YY, Irene, Linxin and Hanying all played too at the NUS courts.... After lunch, thanks to peer pressure, we all went to the med library to study!!! urgh..... well I continued with my dialing up haha
I returned to the east in the evening to join Dawn, Benson, Yee-min, Nat and Angie to discuss the new young working adults group that we're spearheading for the church..... we had dessert at Haagen Daz ice-cream and I had a whooping Banana Split. That meeting was fruitful and we set 09 Oct Sat as our 1st session; and we'll be going around to invite our fellow young adults to come for this meal and session.

22 Sep
Cannot remember much of this day except for the parish team meeting at night haha.... this amazing parish team has been meeting every week since July... to plan for the parish assembly and for the PPC.... I believe it was in April or May that Fr Pat 1st informed us about the new parish assembly & PPC; the new way of things.... and how time flies when you're doing things and planning stuff..... the church's assembly will be on 26 Sep... and over the last few weeks we had been finalising things like the venue, logistics, nominees, grp reps, attendees, notes; and most notably we had been compiling reports and recommendations from our various ministries since June.... my that was mind-boggling... 12 parish team members, 40 grp reps, 9 nominees, 300 participants, 34 sharing groups haha i love keeping count...
Anywayz, the meeting went well and ended surprising early at 9.30pm... we went down to Fr's kitchen where I was given a surprise birthday celebration! Thank you Colin!!! We sat together, priests and laypple, eating the cake, mooncakes, all sorts of kueh, and we planned our "burn-out" party aka post PA celebrations...LOL... adults have just a great sense of humour as we young adults haha...
