[4 March 2018 – 10 March 2018]
‘No temptation [or testing] has
overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will
not let you be tempted [or tested] beyond what you can bear. But when you
are tempted [or tested], He will also provide a way out so that you can
endure it.’ – 1 Corinthians 10:13
Hello, everyone!
Now it is already week 5, yet there are
still many things undone. Pretty stressful for all of us in the midst of this
phase! What if we cannot manage to raise enough fund? What if we are still
unprepared for the event? What if … With lots of grave misgivings and concerns,
I choose to keep them all in prayer on full assurance that God is going to
bring me through.
In this week’s meeting, each bureau has
more things to be presented and updates to be discussed as our programme is
going to be commencing on 23 March 2018. The multimedia & technical bureau
showed us the various banner designs and we were asked to choose the most
suitable and attractive one. The most agreed banner, however, still needs a
touch-up. Thanks, for their hard work! As for us from the sponsorship bureau, we
are still waiting for the response from the companies we approached
face-to-face or contacted via e-mail. We are still trying hard to contact as
many companies as we can particularly those around KL and in Selangor state. And
in this week, I sent out the sponsorship requests to 27 more companies in
addition to the 10 companies contacted during holidays. We fervently hope that
they will consider our request. While the programme & protocol bureau had
also set forth the activities they planned for all modules on the days of event.
Zhong Han, the assistant secretary, presented the job scopes for all positions
throughout the event. Everyone was, therefore, assigned a specific position
during the days of event and should be clear about the tasks. Intriguingly, I
am the main facilitator for group 4 together with Arinah. Even though this was the
first time I was appointed as kids’ facilitator, while at the same time, I am
not good at dancing and singing, I'll try my best to reach out to the kids 😆😆. Dr Arpah
requested that a facilitator training and session simulations to be carried out
to ensure the smoothness and efficiency with which the activities we are going
to run.

Still, there were many things to be learnt
from this week’s meeting which was started a little disordered in perplexity
and mystification. Thanks, Dr Arpah, for her unceasing guidance and
advice.
As we are getting closer to the days of
event, all bureaux make every effort to finish their tasks the sooner the
better. Cake sale continued as usual and this week will be the last week
selling cakes as we look ahead to approaching more companies for sponsorships
which we think is much more profitable. I really am a bundle of nerves and thrilled
at the oncoming programme implementation. Praise be to God that we still manage
to make the mandatory early payments especially for pre-orders and necessary
purchases despite of our partly insufficient financial status at the moment. I
am really grateful to all my fellow teammates for their unwavering support and top-notch
suggestions given in every meeting!
