Election Period + Journey to Restoration.

It's election period again.. during this period last year, lots of things happened and when I recalled about it, it's kinda childish and political. This time round, I've decided to run for Student Ambassadors Management Committee only and dropped the idea on Student Union EXCO and Cypher MC.

Reason being that I wanna concentrate on SA and my other small projects in school and of course, my Professional Profiling Module. Currently, I'm doing this cool GPS project with George and Amanda. It's been a great time working with them as usual. Election period is the time where I reflect the most. I think I should reflect often. Being an ambassador is not easy. Especially, with the quote, "The face of the Republic". Kinda cool but all derived as Servanthood. I met up with my mentees, Huda and Khalis on these 2 days. It was really fruitful as I shared about my experiences in SA.

I received feedback recently about me being political. I've promised my mentor and advisor that I will change for the better to fit into the culture of SA. Things don't change overnight though but I believe with their support, I'll be able to improve myself as a servant leader. This year's election is kinda better and not too political. Every contestant seems experienced in certain areas. What a pity that only 8 seniors are running and a total of 18 SAs out of 100+ SAs are running for this year's election.

Confident?? I still stick to the usual quote that my mentor, Dino, always say. Action speaks louder than words. It was during the SA Selection Camp that my PASSION was released. That motivation cannot be gotten anywhere at all. That was the fuel for me to continue to run for this year's election. I know I might have disappointed some who had high hopes on me since last year. I hope that you can give me your honest feedback and I'll improve myself as I move along. I promise to give my best again during this year's election and will sustain and maintain the culture of SA once again.

My mentee, Huda, is also running and I'm really happy and excited for her. Hope she liked the kit kat choc I bought for her. And to Khalis, for being so transparent and for telling me that you have commit yourself for ALC Management Committee this time round. All the best and you have my support.

All I ask for is that the 18 of us would be close knitted, no matter what the results of the election may turn out to be.. Next agenda.. my Journey to Restoration.

My Journey to Restoration..... It's been really a long time since I've a chance to really talk to God and during this period of time, I really have to thank the following people.. They are..

Peng Chye, Wen Jie, Gladys, Huifen, Peter, Ginny, Aizhen, Felicia, Vanessa, Julian, Jason, Rendall and many more.. most of all, especially Peter for being a great brother to me in my times of trials. To Huifen, who constantly check on my spiritual walk and being a great friend, buddy and prayer partner. To PC, Wen Jie and Gladys, for the consistant effort in making the cell comfortable and close knitted. To Ginny, who always wake me up with fresh revelation of the Word of God and for being a motivator in my life. To Aizhen, who always believed in me and trusting me as a friend, brother and buddy. To Fel, who always feedback about my character, actions and most of all, guiding me and motivating me to become a better leader. To Vanessa, my dearest sister whom I love and listens to, cherish our friendship and relationship. To Julian, Jason, Rendall and others, for the never ending support and encouragements, even during the election period and throughout any activities we had.

My Journey to Restoration has just began. I'll leave my past alone, surrender it to God and move on. Darkness can never capture me again coz I'm the salt and the light of the world. Salt which will never lose its flavour and light to the world which a city on a hill cannot be hidden.

Songs of Restoration.. I've been writing my new songs based on the theme of Restoration and I hope that I can use these songs in my church, COOS!! Servanthood.. That's all I want to have.

Lastly, I do wanna apologise if I've disappointed anyone during anytime of the year since my 1st in RP or in COOS. Nevertheless, I would love to hear your feedback and I promise that as long I know it's going to help SA or COOS grow, I'll change for the better, not the worst.

More experiences to come.. Mentor-Mentee sessions, YLMP sessions, SA Family Day, SA Teambuilding, SA Fund Raising..

In His Love,
