Guests of honour F.David

70 tables strong crowd and the people bid you farewell Rev!! ... That was some army of friends and well wishers for a farewell dinner. Amazing!! Does speak volumes for the man behind his priestly attire and the power of friends and people support behind the scene!!. "If you want to show your appreciation to Father David ...clap loud and hard with your whole heart" . Believe it or not, that came from our Rev Michael Chua!!! And did the hall rang with thunderous applause this night!

YT says...you do not know your own score and the number of "likes" you have until...you have an occasion like this....hei , Rev.Traveller! You came and touched plenty of hearts and now...other tasks awaits ...the good Lord calls you to Tampin. We wish you the best-keep your warm heart burning with love for your Author and the flocks, He has entrusted into your care!.

Oi! Oi! Revs!~! Eyes over
here please!!

An appreciation in poetry

And we pray for our priests!!

Jessie Goh..organising chairperson... couldn't have put it better... David Arulanatham, came to OLL as assistant priest .... now , he leaves us as REV. Father David Arulanatham...a full fledged priest with his own parish to shepherd- The parish priest of St. John Vianney, Tampin. Congratulations again Rev! . Surely...the care bear in you will rise to the occasion and endear yourself to your new parish in no time..

Youths with their sazzy number

Joining the East Malaysian brethren
on stage were the priests and sisters!!

It was entertainment galore this night...the different ministries were ...all eager to express their appreciation to someone who has been more than a priest... a good friend . Dances, songs, jokes...a Michael Jackon ...someone even wrote him a poetry in Tamil...hei, honourable MC! Was it something along the lines of...We are going to miss you Father David?? We thoroughly enjoyed the lively show by our East Malaysian brethren ...and they even got the priests and our religious sisters...swinging to the beats of their lovely..farewell .song. Not to be outdone......the youths almost brought the house down with their very upbeat and fiery number. Hoh! Something to cherish in your memory eh Rev?? Looks like someone has to give the organising team a huge huge heartfelt Thank you hug ..That was some farewell! That was some show!!!

Hei guys, what's happening
over there??

Something else to clear up
with the Rev
Chairperson??

#The affection between the two priestly buddies were quite endearing...one full of praises for his Mentor and the other..putting affection into action...

*****If this writer may say so..the Mentor -.Care Bear (1) looked almost forlorn when YT moved to greet him this evening. So Rev...you are going to be alone...He paused answers, answers.....and guys...he definitely look a little lost hmm....sad was the word..... folks!...let's not forget the human in our lone shepherd ...the labour is definitely heavy...but the supporting hearts of the flocks under him will make a difference....Hei Rev Care Bear I - Cha Yeow !! (Energize!!)

Quote of the night: I do not want to MC another farewell. I hope there will not be another farewell in OLL for a long, long time...that's from Alan Goh...the night's MC .

People's views- We echo that!! Nobody like goodbyes and lately there has been too many in OLL .

YT says: Let's close down the "Touch and Go" station in OLL!!
