.....one week later (ok, more than one week)...hehe =)
Update on Recess Revo in my school. In case you didn't know, it's Penang Chinese Girls' High School.
Monday. We met at the flagpole for morning prayer. There was around 9 people. A few forgot and went to the old place but they managed to dash to the flagpole for a short prayer..haha..My school's PK HEM saw us because our flagpole is in the field so it's quite obvious but she didn't say anything or ask us to get lost or stuff like that. So, thank God once again.
Tuesday. We went to the flagpole for prayer again. More people came. Yay! Then we were planning to do something like what Chung Hwa's RR did - belanja the students drinks. We decided not to do the kerja amal thing because the teacher thought that it wouldn't really make an impact. She suggested that we go and counsel people. I was like, what??!! I don't know how to counsel people and seriously no one will let us counsel them. So, we decided on the belanja drinks thing and to collect funds for that project the next day.
Wednesday. I went to the foyer to wait for everyone to gather around so that we can go to the flagpole to pray again. Then one of the girls told me that we cannot go to the flagpole to pray anymore because a teacher complained about us praying there. And the teacher is supposedly the Buddhist Society's teacher advisor or something. Yup. The students can walk around the whole school holding joss sticks praying but we can't stand at the flagpole to pray quietly. Maybe we should campaign for religion equality. Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against Buddhists. Maybe it's God's way of testing us. To see if we can trust Him enough to overcome this obstacle. Anyway, we couldn't do the belanja drinks thing anymore because the cf members said that we should go slow and wait for the issue to pass first. I was like, no way! But they insisted on not doing such a big thing. One I 'm not going to say who even said that I was rushing things! I'm not rushing it! We're dragging it! We said that we wanted to start at the beginning of the month! Now's already towards the end and we haven't started anything yet! Yes, maybe it's not the time yet but have we tried our very best? I suggested that we continue to go to the flagpole to pray because it's not like the headmistress is asking us to stop but they said no. So, back to praying at a hidden place where not really anyone can see us.
Thursday. I asked my cf president when is the cf anniversary because we were going to invite the Re-evolve team to come to our school on that day and she said it was on the 20-something of August. So I asked her whether we can invite the team to come on an earlier date and she said 31 July, which is on a Friday. Meaning that the team must speak twice because we have the morning session and the afternoon session. I went back, asked Pragas, and he said yes!! Yay!! So all I need to do is type out a letter to invite the team and get the cf's teacher advisor and the PK KK's signature!
Friday. Told my cf president about the good news. Asked the cf's teacher advisor whether the team can come and she said yes! Yay! But she said that maybe only a few people will come even though it's during the cf's meeting time because most of them don't have transport. Nevermind, we have two weeks to invite our friends. We need to have faith and trust in God to bring in the people!
cf president's approval check
cf teacher advisor's approval check
PK KK's approval
2 down, 1 more to go.
They said that most probably the PK KK will approve because he's a Christian. So, YAY!!
That's all. Hehe, such a loooooooooooooooong post. Yippeee!!!!!!!! The Re-evolve team is finally coming!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!! Praise the Lord!
