| Come on..let's get going |
Wanna go on a Treasure Hunt?? Make a beeline for the Seniors Group of Our Lady of Lourdes Klang! Oops! That event was yesterday morning Guys! And if you had miss the fun, fret not, there's always another time and another activity, JUST ....what a pity...you miss out on a happening that was about activity, fun , great physical exercise and of course great bridging of friendship!!!

Frankly, that was the first time YT took a walk through the recreational "nature park" just opposite the church building...hmm..Cool and inviting with a great view. You get to see some really fantastic old trees. Nature's at its developed best.over here. I had a great time...but of course the mosquitoes had a greater time! We, or was it only me(?) was heaven sent for their early morning feast! Needless to say....I had fun whacking the life out of them!!

| The hunt for octopus |
The trail for gold ...was plain sailing at the beginning ......but oh! how mind boggling as one wanders into the maze....for instance...what the devil was "big foot"? The effects of a cannon shot was a difficult one...I was
with a participant....She scratched her head and I scratched mine....to set records right.....I was there just to fun walk and enjoy nature and the good company......exercising the mind was the extra and it helped to clear the cobwebs in the knowledge corner. But others really put in a great deal of effort....With each treasure they find...joy shone on their faces.....I watch the married seniors going about their treasure hunt...the bonding...the shared excitement of going about a common task....something different from their jaded routine....harvesting treasures, with friends...and I bet you, they went away with greater treasures in their relationship, after that exercise .... For YT..it was a fruitful morning...I not only exercise my lazy bones...I witnessed fostering of friendships and bonding. And, I also got to know many of my senior friends better ...many I had just nodded and acknowledged..in the silent manner of Hi, and Bye, whenever we meet...hell...I don't even know their names......now with the start up of conversation...I'm sure .more conversations will follow ....the law of communication works that way...

Guess what.?? The committee thought of everything....even guardian angels....to safe guard the treasure hunters- we had guardian angels in the name of the maintenance and technical team of the parish. for the entire treasure hunt...six strong men with walkie talkies...eyes fixed intently on the young ducklings as they waddle through the treasure route.. We were in good hands.
Wait, wait,wait......watch the cars....the trail is that way...auntie.....need a hand getting down those steps uncle??? Stop please!! Treasure Hunters are crossing the road!!.....If that is not enough..there were plenty of signs showing you the way...committee members and volunteers were stationed at strategic points... JUST in case.....someone like YT get lost in the mini jungle....Hei, there may be only twenty four participants...but really, in total, close to forty or more were at the scene this morning...the additional presence of helpers, committee members and guardian angels..

Without God...no event could be complete...
In the evening..seniors animated mass...before they headed for the Royal Klang Club to enjoy a sumptuous dinner, entertainment plus lucky draw lined up for them.There were even prizes for the best dressed individual for the evening.- man and woman.
Parish Priest...Father Michael Chua....had only words of encouragement and praise for all Seniors, You are close to God.. calling them valuable members of the Lord's vineyard..and active in all ministries... including their BECs.....teaching others to appreciate the presence of God in everyday living..Senior citizen ministry, he said were normally the most active in every parish..because of the commitment put in by golden parishioners . So, we are good eh, folks?? The Rev. I must say...was really approachable at the event...going round, greeting..his flocks...cordial in every respect...truly..as the Lord says..if you want to be first...you have to be last...humble, friendly and very human..

Food was lovely, we had great emceeing by Donald Johnson..ex-Deputy GM of the club...great band...fabulous entertainment...great words from SCM President-Daniel Chacko, plenty of laughters for the crowd......a lovely video show of the morning's event ....well received by the crowd xtra..Great work Alan Goh...gushed the President and Emcee...Indeed! Indeed! That really liven up the evening!.........

Lucky draw with Father
Michael Chua |
For YT what made the evening even more special and memorable was- more than the food and fun happenings.....It was Father Lawrence bringing God's presence into the dinning hall- leading the diners into grace-,blessing and thanksgiving of the food ....definitely, one of the most powerful ....I have experienced.....it was ...I am not able to put it in words...so powerful...it touches the heart.....I guess..it had a lot to do with the way it was expressed..arising from his heart.....you know the kind that drew you involuntarily.into prayer and one start to repeat the words of the uttered prayers and at the end of it, you say a big AMEN.. let it be done as we pray Lord!!
