Ms. Joyce Chia, who is a member of the crew facilitating the visit, was one of the participants who were present to welcome the pope on Wednesday.
” I feel really excited. In fact, most of us mentioned that we could n’t even sleep. We slept actually late”, said Ms Chia, who is in her 50s and works in the wellness market.
She described the visit’s “very powerful and very thorough” preparation as “very intensive and very thorough” and included numerous calls and meetings.  ,
” They ( the organisers ) even went to the extent of measuring how many normal human steps it takes, how many seconds and how long it will take to move people, and… the distance of each step. She said,” I think it was really good when it came down to the details.”
Ms Chia added that being there to welcome Pope Francis was a once-in-a-lifetime knowledge.
” There’s not much ( of a ) crowd, I get to see the Pope quite upfront and personal, and it’s as close as it gets I think”, she said.
