Hello, I’m Siew Kin from R1 H3 C1. I have no idea how I got this much courage to write this blog. I actually would like to share my life-long journey with you all.

I felt that I’m a very fortunate enough that I am a fortune baby. In a very young age, I started to join the Rainbow group. My mother was the main cause that I join. She used a lot of way (by scolding, tricking, bribing, etc.) just to make me go. I still freshly remembered that I was accompanied by few of my friends on my very first day I attend the Rainbow group. But sadly, all my friends started to miss practices and in the end they backed out. Just leaving me there. Maybe one of the reasons is that we have to wake up as early as 6.00 in the morning just to reach Kaikan in time. For only a standard one child, what is the point for waking up early in the morning just to attend practice??

Despite that, I was still wiling to attend practice every weekend. Why? Because my mother once agreed to buy roasted pork for me if I attend for practice. So I just did it for the sake of roasted pork. I still remember my last presentation in the Rainbow group. It was held in the basketball court and I was playing the role of the flower. That was my very first performance.

6 years has just passed so fast in the Rainbow group. When I reached Form one, the PIC’s in my District had offered me to help out in the Junior Group. At that time, I gave plenty of excuses just to reject the offer. That was what I thought last time. Not long after that, a senior noticed me and came to me to give me advice. He said, “As a human, we should help back those who have helped us before. You were taken care by so many seniors last time. They taught you be so courageous. Now it’s your turn to do back the same thing. Don’t you think you should?” his words totally touched my heart when he said that. From that day on, I swear that I will repay what the seniors had once taught me.

But to my fundamental darkness, I started to ask myself, “I always cause troubles for other people, and I expect to lead juniors? I’m already big troublemaker myself. I think I should just stay at home and stay low.” I really felt helpless in this. So I decided I should ask my mother for advice. I first thought that she’ll give me the same advice that I have thought to myself a minute ago. But to my surprise, instead of telling me to give up, she told me, “This is actually a great opportunity to change you yourself. You listen to aunties advices properly and just try your very best!!” After hearing my mother’s advice, I have this strong determination telling me to change myself. I realized that if I really pour my heart out to take this PTC job seriously, I will defiantly have the opportunity to change myself!

I finally felt the great power of Mystic Law when I was appointed to take care a junior member who is really rebellious in my District. He is much worst than me last time when I was small. He opposes every single thing I have said or did. He even interrupts me when I tell stories to the other juniors! And such a coincidence, I attended a youth meeting at that very period. I heard a guidance that goes, “If you yourself can change, you will defiantly get to change the others too.” After hearing that advice, I start to tell myself that can and will change him even though he is the most rebellious junior member I have ever seen. Because I believe that we as PTC’s, are supposed to lead the juniors to the correct path and this is my aim. For me then, it looked like more than a mile long journey for me to go. 5 years has just passed quickly like that. The flashback of the bitter times and headaches that I have last time is not a big deal for me compared to now. Mystically, the rebellious child that I have known had changed to a kid who is free willing to do any activities that are appointed to him. He wouldn’t simply just interrupt like last time when I am telling stories anymore. He would just politely rise up his hand for question and he will even tolerate with us. This is really a big impression for me.

Finally, I am really grateful to all of the Rainbow group PTC’s (I’m awfully sorry that I have forgotten the names) and also the members who is in charge in my District.(Tanjung Malim and Kuala Kubu Baru). From the bottom of my heart, I really thank them. I will go great lengths to take care of our Junior Group no matter what happens. If is not because of my mother, I won’t become what I am now. And also to my dad who free willed to fetch me back and forth even though it clashes on his break day. (He is still not a member yet)

This is my journey. If I have any grammar mistakes, please excuse me. Thank you.
