When I saw my boys, those involved in LFC09, who got into their maximum level of excitement, I recalled back my past, during my secondary school years, I got so excited and had this kind of ‘camp-fever’ every time after any camps organised by KYCS. The excitement would last for weeks and if that camp gave a big impact to my life patterns, I would be back to ‘normal’ for at least 2-3 months after the camp. I had the worst ‘fever’ during my first participation in national camp (National Exchange Programme 1998), I nearly got into madness because of the ‘hyper-excitement syndrome’ but somehow I managed to control myself. Unbelievable yet so true. Anyway, my boys (Ambrose, Barry, Nigel, Al Giovanni and Spencer) have made me realised that the spirit of youth comes alive when they are given the chance to do what they are interested in and the most important thing is to make them belonged as one family. I was brought up in that atmosphere where everyone treated each other as if they have known for so many years, and to prove that my experience is true, I treated them like what I used to be treated by my seniors in KYCS. Miss those days…it’s gone now. New generation, new style…

I am so obsessed with my work especially when it comes to organising events for youths. Giving my best to bring out the awesome outcome to all is my main aim for every event held, for the glory of God and to make Christ known among the youths today as they need to be empowered as children of God through Christ. I wondered sometimes, is it because of this natural conscience of mine, God made me as His instrument to lead the young people into the right path, and at the same time, making them aware of the good values to be practiced in their daily lives? God knows what future I am shaping for myself and I bet He has plans for me too, God’s willing.

What would happen if natural disasters, all of the sudden hit the Borneo Island?
My random thoughts regarding the recent natural disasters that hit Padang, Indonesia; Samoa, Tonga and Manila, Philippines has made me realised that God is hinting, hinting and keeps on hinting that then time is near. But sadly, none of us is aware of the ‘hint’. We keep on running, running for wealth, fame and glory without ever thinking that God is actually reminding us that He would judge those who are on His side and those who are against Him. Some of us are taking things for granted on what is happening right now. Have we forgotten that we were once punished and now that we are so comfortable, we tend to forget God? Believe and repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand…

It’s the month to honor Mother Mary, Rosary month. It is the time of reflection for us to look at the simple life of our Mother Mary, taking Her as our role model in our lives. Pray the Rosary and you’ll be blessed.

Fr. Albert Jacobse’s homily during the Mass for Public Examination candidates gave me a big impact when he said something about lacking of commitment among youths in the Church especially during Sunday Masses. He expressed his disappointment to the youths that the church was full during this Mass, but less seen during Sunday Masses. I was wondering, why is it so hard for youths today to commit themselves even for an hour to meet the Lord or to serve Him during Sunday Masses, but when it comes to special mass for exam candidates, the church pews were almost filled up as if God appears only on that day but not on Sunday. I have yet to go deeper into the thoughts of young people in the Church’s community, what they really want and what are their expectations so that they would get maximum involvement in every activities held under the Church or Parish or even in the Diocese.
Hope to understand them better…
