being a commander surely is not an easy job to do.

as i took the pledge and vow, i promised to God that i'll be the first to reach and last to go. pray while my 'children' were playing. prepare to suffer the most and yet in the mean time have to shout at the top of my lungs, pushing them forward, encourage them and pull them up. a lot of games i couldn't play and a lot of food i couldn't eat, because my members have to eat and play first.

certainly as i learn throughout this whole journey, being a commander is like being a father. no doubt i have grown so much and learned so much. i'm like an old man, watching the kids from afar, smile when they are happy, though i am only 21 this year.

i still remember at first i was only a mere designated assistant commander. my job was easy and i was pro in that - assisting the head. but unfortunately God has made us headless for a while.

YowLooi then called me to step up. and to recall back, i felt like i was really ready, full of new ideas and fresh plans, absolutely excited. instantly using white and gold colours to be the group colour to represent glory and fearless, group Gideon really stood up among the rest during then.

i am fortunate enough to have a great bunch of great leaders working with me. two experienced mentors and an advisor who really knows me so well working above me guiding and teaching me. with 5 others as my partners suffering and persevere with me, and 4 to help me. they almost made my first year of commandership a success.

yes sometimes i really tried to give up as i have to do everything alone. from decorating the notice board to moping the group room's floor to 3pm programmes to chairing and big games to hanging the banner. but i'm constantly being reminded that i am working for the Lord Himself, see i told u so, i've learned a lot =)

now already september. with 2 months or so to go, i am so sad to see that this group is going to end. i can do nothing but let the memories to do all the talking.

one thing that can really make the commander happy and satisfied is to see his 'children' being so loving and united.

don't believe? i got proves...hahaha..

these are the photos that i took. nice?

(this is just half of the group Gideon)
