I have not been blogging so long that even my chatboard is down. Oh well, will probably get a new one in December when I have more time to blog.

With the passing of each new week, I reached a point where I actually asked myself what exactly have I been doing this semester. Have I been living each day without knowing what I want from it and achieving the most out of it? Just when I felt that life was monotonous, He has showed me how blessed I have been. At times I do not see the blessings He has showered upon me until the end of the journey. Fr Val told us to pick up small little blessings in our everyday so as to be able to see the goodness of life and help each other journey through difficult times. I guess He has provided me with many good friends along the way for me...

For the past years, I have always been teaching Sec 3/4 catechism but this year, it is my first time taking a Sec 1 class. I wasnt particularly excited or enthusiastic cos I expected them to be childish and I felt that I had to babysit them more than anything. I was so wrong, from their camp in September, I realised how much potential these teens have and how important it was to provide them with a good foundation right from Sec 1. The experience was different from the other camps I went, in fact I have learnt and grown a lot from them. Last weekend was the last class for the year, the girls in the class made a 'Thank You' card and gift for Danielle and myself. We were very touched by them as they were indeed really very appreciative of us. Guilty as I am for not putting much effort with regard to Cat class, it really was a great motivation for me to do more for them next year. I am glad that I will be following them up next year.

We also had our last CG this week. Being a CGL for the past 8 CGs has been an overwhelming experience. Its a different experience from teaching catechism, different from being in Artz Comm or any ad hoc comms. Its an unique and enriching experience in its own ways, so great that I cant be thankful enough for the experience and journey. Along the way, I realised that I questioned, worried a lot about things but in the end, the turnout was always different from what I had expected it to be, in fact, it was better than what we had planned. I have learnt to just do my best and let God do the rest. Really really, He has so abundantly bless me with the people in my CG of which I have gained and benefited from the various sharings, with wonderful vocals esp since I cant sing for nuts, guitarists to create a more melodious atmosphere and a great CG partner to work with who has creative ideas and making CG and CG planning so fun.

So what's there to look forward to now? Not much time to prepare for exams but I guess I do hope for it to be over soon so that I can just chill after that.
