Been a tiring week + weekend. Thank God Teammate JL and I didn’t overslept but reached Suntec on time for the early reporting time. I even managed to go for a proper breakfast with team leader.
Most of Team8’s local students actually graduated at the 1st service. 2nd service mostly the international students. Sat together with those who had received their cert. Not sense of nervous, no agenda, we basically just enjoying the service and cheering for our teammates.
At awards-presentation, Teammate SM won “Best Minister” We cheered and clapped like crazy! Woohoo! He definitely deserved it! So proud and happy for him!
The moment we been waiting for - throwing of our mortar hat.
FINALLY… after a good 6mths, we officially GRADUATED from SOT.
Straight after, we went to the front to take photos with Pst Kong & Sun.
Not forgetting some of the pastors.
Surprisingly, few of my cg members were there too!
We also gathered as a group to take the last few shots while we still in our gown.
1st “reality” hit in - the end, is time to return the gown.
We changed.. Returned gown.. settled this and settled that.. We left
Next up - our team’s very own graduation celebration cum “last” team gathering. Managed to arrange a bus since there were so many of us and family members of some teammates.
It was a simple celebration over food and fellowship.
We relaxed.. We talked.. We laughed.. We massaged each other.. Haha! We just enjoyed each other's company.
Teammate GL did a video where there were photos of ALL of us throughout the 6mths and also speeches for Team Leader and one another. We also had simple and short sharing from the different ones. It was definitely warm moments.
We ended with gifts-presentation.
“Tired” was written ALL over my face when everything ended!
This event was organized by Teammate GL and I.
From coordinating with teammates to planning for the food to arranging for transport to payment etc.
Thank God everything went smoothly well.
Though it was not full strength, with 3 teammates who cant make it but all effort definitely paid off probably there wont be anymore chance where ALL of us can gather this way.
