19 Sep - 25 Sep = Darren's birthweek holiday!!! Haha, special thanks go to NUS Medical Faculty for giving us year 5s a one week break in honour of my birthday LOL

Let's talk abt an amazing week day by day!

19 Sep (Sun)
This was the single most hectic Sunday of my life.... Brownie selling for Camp and GII Recruitment! Fresh from the single most successful recruitment exercise on Sat's Con3 class where we got 10 out of 15 confirmands.... the GII pack converged in church at the wee hours of the morning to help sell brownies... Shannon, Samantha, Darren S, Edmond, Justin, Marcus, June, Nicole, Darryl, Jeremy Oh, Jeremy Chia, Jonathan Chia, Anthony Lee, Gerard, & Adrian Lim in all I think.... we didnt sell much after 7.15am mass cuz the brownies were still locked up!!! the person IC came late... but this amazing lady gave us $50 for one brownie and said to ask her for more money if we needed.

We all headed for an idyllic breakfast at Jago and came back for the 2 morning confirmation classes... this time round more of us shared about our experience in GII... and I was so proud of Jeremy Oh for his sharing.... so earnest and close to heart! Watching the power point photo montage of g2 activities and listening to the young ones describe them really touched me and affirmed the work God has entrusted to us as a choir - to nurture and develop the beautiful talents of youth, to provide an avenue for them to make mistakes, to try again and to shine.... We garnered another 8 confirmands (out of a possible 60-80) so though not as succesful as Sat's, a total of 18 (out of a 100plus) is not bad at all! Amen!

On the brownie selling front, we raised $2100 from the love offerings from our dear parishioners.. from 3 masses alone! Shireen also put up a beautiful poster of the "ingredients" to making a good brownie... which I will put up soon...

We ended the morning watching last year's choir anniversary video and footage of this year's June Camp skits... absolutely hilarious! Should have everyone watching the "Ah Niu MTV" with full attention... I had to leave them for pageant practice and hoped the day was as amazing for me as it was for them!
