In salute to a great inspiration

Today we learnt of the death of Michael Jackson, and while we were and continue to be awed by his slick dance moves it was more often his brilliant and powerful lyrics that has left a greater mark on each of us.

Here's 'Man in the Mirror', for all you who at one point or another was touched by this song.

Man in the Mirror - lyrics
here




RIP MJ.
Your music was a great inspiration to many, and will continue to be always.
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good,
Gonna make a difference,
Gonna make it right.
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change.

Over the Seas - to Sarawak!

The Sarawak version of the regional conventions has just been concluded! Kudos to the Sarawak FT team for all the hard work in making it a success!

Below is a sharing by Nicky Tay

The Sarawak Regional Lasallian Convention is the moment every Lasallian have been waiting for. So this year, the convention was held on the 2nd of June to the 6th of June. I’m very proud and honored to be selected as part of Heritage Crew, who is tasked to present a heritage play about our founder, De La Salle. Therefore, for me, the Lasallian Convention started one day earlier (with no regrets!).



Actually, the convention started a lot earlier for the organizing team and Heritage Crew. This is because we to have learnt about La Salle and when each practice passes, I learnt a little of everything about my fellow friends in the Heritage Crew. So, we were practicing to our very best to give the perfect heritage play to the participants!



It was the first day of the convention. The crew woke up as early as 7 o’clock to practice their play while the organizing team was busy preparing for registration and other convention matters. Soon enough, the clock was showing 1p.m. So everybody registered at the counter and what surprises me are that, there are so many participants that I do not know; I felt awkward.



Anyway, things changed as we go along the convention. As days go by, bonds and friendships were developed. Together we, had fun and the most amazing moments together. Despite all the fun, I really appreciate this convention because the sessions had taught me a lot. I really learnt a lot about La Salle, leadership skills, and the importance of community and team work.



In conclusion, this convention brought much joy to every one of us. At first, I was nervous with the unfamiliar faces, but then at the end of the day, we became a BIG FAMILY. I appreciate this convention because it has taught us about being a Lasallian and made us realize that the Lasallian community is actually a BIG FAMILY which covers the whole globe.
