i still remember during my the first friday gathering with CSSUKM, he was there to bless all the freshies, including me. i didnt know that he was a priest.

i thought he was the most senior among all of us, and he was given the honour to bless us, the newcomers.

after a while, i got to know that he was a priest. a very different one. he is a priest yet he is also a father and a friend. i started to join in the CSS (Catholic Students' Society) meeting when i was still in 1st year, which i think i was the youngest among them (the CSS EXCO) during that time.

i joined them because Lawrence (representative of the MSG- Mandarin Speaking Group) encouraged me to. when lawrence graduated, i took over his position. in the second year, i was the representative of MSG and again i'm in the CSS EXCO meeting.

during that period of time, i started to involve actively in CSS activities. most of it is because of the love of friendship that is built among us and also because of the love for Christ, wanting to work for His people.

then, towards the end of my second year, when the CSS EXCO being dissolved, unexpectedly, i was elected as the leader for the coming semester. honestly, it was a very stressful moment. i am afraid. i am not confident. i am nervous. and i broke down on that day. but Fr.Chris was there to comfort me. i told him that i dont think i can do it. he advised me to see things not only from one angle. he asked me to look at a situation, not only from the front but also from above, left, right and below.

that one piece of advice made me strong and gave me the courage go forward. in my second semester, another test was given to me. our gathering was interrupted by dean of FSSK and we are not allowed to have gathering in that room anymore.

i felt like i'm a failure and had destroyed the hardwork of the previous leaders. i felt like giving up, but i know i couldnt and i should not. and again, Fr.Chris was there to support me and to walk with me. he assured me that it's not my fault- i just have to work harder and surrender things unto God's hand. i tried my best and passed down to the next generation..

then after i graduated, i find it hard to start the next stage of life- the working world. the commitment and the resposibilities are just to much to carry. once more, another piece of advice from Fr.Chris. 'do take your time to think what you want to do, but not too long. to stay in your comfort zone doesnt make you YOU.'

CSSUKM Praise and Worship 2006

indeed, Fr.Chris has been one of them who've helped me to be the person i am today. the news that Fr.Chris will no longer be with the campus ministry, had really shocked me. i know God has a better plan for him. Jia you, Fr.Chris! =) finally, you graduated..hehe.
