With love

Recalling all the way back from Day One. Walking in the CF room (back then it's the current Physics Laboratory) being welcomed by seniors. It was orientation for the Form Ones. Honestly, I was taken aback. New faces. Loud voices. Crazy atmosphere. Being pinched at the cheek. A teacher with little hair. I never thought, how at home I would feel. How much I wanted to belong in this very classroom. With this very people.

So many things I've learned in this 5 years. Values of life in its very self. There's no better place to learn. To grow. To serve. To release myself. To be among people with the same cause. To be among individuals which are precious to me. To love. To touch. To smile. To laugh. To experience. And to just become.

Ever since Day One, I made a pledge to myself. I'm not going to leave this CF family until the last of my schooling days. I never did. And I never regretted. If I could say, it was the BEST decision I ever made. No doubt. Along the way, sacrifices were made. No I didn't sell an arm to be where I am today. But decisions. I CHOSE to be who I am today. And you should too. Because what you decide to be today is who you become tomorrow.

You know the saying "You learn from your mistakes?" In a sense, it's true I don't deny it. But if you can, why not not committing the mistakes in the first place? I spend most of my time preventing myself from stumbling. Preventing myself from straying away from God. Avoiding myself from regret. Avoiding myself from wasting time being hurt and ignorant. Yes, of course there are times I fail. And yes you may say that I don't have the guts and courage to live life and to try things of this world. But I'd say, I may not, but I certainly have the guts and courage to stand up for what I believe in. And I do it by God's strength. Which is everlasting.

I began the year clueless. Just before 2010, I thought I knew. I thought I had what it takes. I thought I was able. I thought I knew everything's that coming. I thought everything would fall into place like it should be. I thought wrong. But I just believe. And I'm still believing. I didn't have a way around a thunderstorm, but I learned how to dance in the rain. And what doesn't kill me just makes me stronger. I wasn't the best cf president around, but I'm extremely proud to be one in Subang Utama. Because through my imperfection, God is made perfect.

You guys need to know. How to appreciate the CF. And never take any of it for granted. We are truly blessed to have what we have. The attendance. The technical equipment (YEAH ESPECIALLY THIS). The fact that we even have a sound system to rent to other societies. The experience passed down by seniors. The support by the school. And most of all the most devoted and dedicated CF Teacher Advisor around. So many things are being taken for granted. Not every CF have what we have. And they'd trade it with us anytime. And they have the drive to be better. Something we all have to learn.

Nevertheless with a heavy heart I will leave the CF. And move on to a new chapter. But before I do, I urge you especially the younger ones to never lose hope! Keep pressing on and don't give up on Jesus! Take my word that He'll bring you to places you'll never thought you'll ever do. And in trying times, He'll be that shelter where you can find peace and comfort. Don't prefer to be anywhere else but within His arms. He's just so gracious. Cause whenever you walk or run miles and miles away from Him, just take a step back. And He'll be there.

Keep Loving Jesus

Just for a tad bit while more,

With love,

Joyce Ong Kar Yee,

President of CFSMKSU.

And forevermore,

servant of the Most High.

CFSMKSU WISHES ALL PMR STUDENTS ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR EXAM!

MAY GOD BLESS YOU EVEN AS YOU COMMIT ALL YOU HAVE TO HIM

AND DON'T FORGET TO PRAY :D
