My May 3rd 2019 Commemorative Meeting : May-2019

5.3 is always a significant date for Soka and SSA. It’s always celebrated in a commemorative meeting which typically only involves the more senior leaders, but bcoz May is also the month Soka celebrates her Mother’s Day, all district WD leaders are also invited to attend it in May. 

I can still remember how I didn’t think much of Soka’s commemorative meetings.. until one time Mummy said something to the effect of please wear something nice and we shall take a picture together after the meeting!! Okay, I did juz that, and Mummy, Jiun and I managed to take a really nice picture!!

That was about the only picture we took at such an occasion. The following year, Mummy left us. 

Maybe i did it to remember Mummy by, maybe I did it to reduce the significant void I feel at such meetings when I miss Mummy, maybe I did it juz to create memories.. but I always try to dress up now, even if it’s juz a teeny bit,  when I attend Soka commemorative meetings. And after the meetings, I would want to gather buddies or a faith comrade to take at least one picture..

Hahaa.. now my buddies have caught on my antic!! We posted in the exact same manner as last year’s picture, but with the addition of a new member—Sharon’s shakubuku & newly-minted WD district leader, Mui Kiang!! 🤗

5.3 this year.. My hougang sunshine buddies !!

5.3 last year.. still my hougang sunshine sisters !!

They’re indeed my inspirations & motivation !!

Eugene has juz taken on a new role as Asst Chapter YMD Chief !! We’re so so sooo proud of our ex lion cub !! 

Joanne performed as part of the Tulip WD Choir at the start of the meeting. 

All WDs were given an airplant. The holder was specially handmade & twisted by our YWDs!! Hope I can keep this delicate plant alive .. 😅

We’re given one of these ang ku kueh each too, at the end of the meeting!! My peanut one was especially tasty..😋
