Hello all!

Today was 30th October 2006, Monday.

We had our Knotter's Badge Training, where Sec1s, 2s & 3s learnt much more new knots & whippings. Bowline, Man Harness Knot, Fisherman's Knot, Packer's Knot, Common Whipping... Hope everyone will remember what was taught today, & it will be tested in ATC as well! :D



ATC just around the corner, feeling tensed up?

Relax, be prepared & get yourself ready for a whole lot of experience!




Just a thought!

People jogged to lose weight & slim down.
BUT what if you jogged backward . . .
would you gain weight? :D

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand.

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's condition.

You might have read this story before, but was it applied into our lives? Obstacles, challenges, troubles. Treat them as opportunities to make yourself a better person. Make use of these opportunities to improve yourselves. ATC is one opportunity. You may see it as an obstacle or a burden. Why not treat it as a challenge and use it to polish up your skills? First determine your attitude, then let it determine you altitude.


15 more days to ATC!

CHEERS! :D

"What a folly to dread the thought of throwing away life at once, and yet have no regard of throwing it away by parcels and piecemeal."

Treasure the time given to you for camp preparation! Dont waste them away, MAKE USE OF TIME TO THE FULLEST! :D

Put all your excuses aside and remember this: YOU are capable. Believe you can do it, for everyone has the potential to achieve great heights. But always rmb, although ABILITY can take you to the top, it takes CHARACTER to keep you there.



CHEERS! :D

"Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can."

Put in your very best in everything; all the best for your camp preparation and ATC! :D
