Family Reunion 2010 / Tuesday, June 15, 2010 @ 12:50 PM
Family Reunion 2010 On Friday night, mom was asking me why I was still going to the function when I was walking like that. It did not occur to me why I should not be at the function. This was a major function. I had to be there as long as I am alive and breathing. Remember last year? I actually went to PASE meeting all the way at Toa Payoh on the same day I fell down and injured my knee. Was I able to walk at all?? Nope. I was literally walking one step at a time. Looking back, I really wonder how I got there at all and realise that it was pure determination that got me there. Not being at the function was not my tradition. Like what Niranjan said. I had to be there simply because: 1. It was going to be weekend full of teachings. 2. My team was there, I had to be there. 3. It would take my mind of this heel pain. Of course the biggest reason to be there was because of my uplines who were going to be recognised as Ultimate Eagles!! ![]() Sri went up the stage and did an Eagle dance. I am sooooooo proud of them. They may have gone MIA for 3 years and in the few months that they are back, they surpasses all of us. Seriously, that is simply amazing. Another inspirational figure was Lewis. He is definitely the youngest Ultimate Eagle ever! At 21 years old, he puts the rest of us to shame. I saw this guy when he was new, so full of innocence and full of drive. He did not lose his innocence. Thats why he is where he is now. ![]() During our dinner break on the first day, we bumped in Rena, who was 3 months pregnant. She looked so lovely and we had a couple of minutes to speak. She is so full of wisdom and at that young age to be retired and free, its simply awesome. ![]() Took some group pics at the end. So many pin breakers for our team, I am so proud. After all, a rising tide carries all ships. Our time will come soon definitely. ![]() My lovelies throughout the 2 days. I almost forgot that my heel was hurting. Thank you for the laughter and the lovely company and for accomodating me so that I did not have to walk too much. I was in unglam flats..haha. ![]() Group pic. Missing some team mates including my bestie who had to miss this function but no worries, next function we shall packed up the place. One crazy pic with my upliney..hahah..I like this pic the best. I learnt so much I do not even know which to share. But I will always know that no matter what obstacles jumped in front of me, I know that I will still continue with this journey. The obstacles are there to make me stronger. What I learnt the most was how I cannot control the factors surounding me. Sometimes things happen and they are out of our control. However what we can control is our own reactions to that particular situations. I know that I have been pretty whiny lately and I hope you understand that I am only human. After listening to Larry Winter yesterday, I understand now that I cannot surrender to circumstances. I cannot surrender to being weak. I must rise to the occasion and prove all those who believed in me right. I may take some time, but I will get there and create a new wave of excitement that the teams has yet to see. Life is too precious to be scared and to give in to fear. We must take the risk. We can and we will. |
