Today when I open my mail, i receive an email from Lion Yong. I was so touched! this is what he wrote to me...
Dear Leo Pei Wen,
Thnx for the email and also sms. Was at meeting today so need to have your sms to brief the Lions.
Looking back, must acknowledge that you have done extremely well despite all the challenges you face which I recalled you have brought up a few times. Am really proud of you and always believe in you as a good Leo leader since we first chat over the phone for your Sin Chew article on the orang asli health project. This is the reason I actually recommended you after the interview for the President position.
I will be even happier besides your parents, friends etc when you do well in your coming exams and later future career. Keep in touch and wish you fantastic holiday after the hard work.

This is what i replied him, the letter will express everything...
Dear Lion,
I am nothing without Lion, teacher and also those committed Leos. I am always a person who has high expectation on what I do, thats why i struggle hard to do more things but everything ended up so so only and some even failed. Thanks to Lion, you always help us through and give guidance, advises, and even comfort me when i lose my confidence and lose my direction. Sometimes I feel like giving up and dont want to bother about certain matters anymore, but Lion never gives up us. Even when you are busy, tired, you wil still attend our projects, pass things to me, attend our meetings and so on. Actually Lion got nothing to do in Forum, but Lion still drive all the way to Penang just to see us and congratulate us. When we are back, Lion will come n receive us and say goodbye to us. When I have problems to collect things from far places, Lion will collect for me and pass to me. Lion, you always teach me how to work well with my BOD, you dont encourage me to sack them. You are right, sacking a BOD doesnt help, I should learn how to encourage them to be committed again, this is what i should learn and be when I am a leader again. I have learnt alot and i wil pass down what i learnt to my incoming BOD, I wont give up them too. They are much better than my BOD, because they have the passion and commitment. Hope Lion will guide them too! Actually I am not jealous that Lion is closer to LSPJ, I feel that they treat you really good, not like us, got problem only will find lion, just feel that we dint treat Lion as nice as LSPJ. My friend just lectured me yesterday and he says that i must change and be a more caring person. It is not that I dont care, i just dont know how to express and show it. Whatever it is, I hope Lion knows that I really appreciate you alot and really grateful that our club can have Lion Yong as leo advisor. Keep in touch! I will remember Lion forever. :)
Yours sincerely,
Pei Wen
