And so, we finally turned 22. Its been a long wait, its been a long year...but the day was definitely worth the wait! 1st November 2009...definitely a good day to celebrate our outpost's birthday. Enjoy the pics...brought to you exclusively by our fantastic cameraman, Mr. Nigel Lim. These are some of his featured shots of the day, and they're really good!
Do enjoy the 1st part of this anniversary blog report, and more pics will be posted up in the coming days! Have fun viewing, and dont forget to click on the photo link to view more pics from the anniversary day itself! God bless...
Amazing-looking rangers were there to greet us at the registration table! No sign-in, no food for you! :)
The stage is set, and the rangers were eagerly awaiting for the day to arrive. A day of recognition and accolades...
The Adventure Boys kicked things off with the Opening Ceremony...good stuff, boys!
This shot was taken during the Ranger Kids skit presentation. Here's Charmayne and Elisa Lee doing their pose for the lenses and the audience, accompanied by some 'fengtau' music!
Ranger Kelly Yap giving us her best innocent-looking smile! She was part of the ER crew that served lunch during the anniversary. Well done, boys and girls!
The Adventure Rangers came out with an interesting and creative 3-part skit, depicting their outdoor skills, imaginations and being in touch with their sense of humour. Really loved the ideas...keep up the good work!
Some traditions will remain forever! I reckon even if he's 50 years old, ranger David Wong will continue to give a hug to the person giving out the merits! Well done, lad. I'm sure Pas. Gideon enjoyed the hug! :)

Story of the day - by Senior Commander Reuben
Today has been an interesting day. During lunch hour, I made my way into Lian Pang Stationary Shop right in the heart of Klang town, hoping to finalize the souvenir orders for our upcoming RR anniversary. Even as I was waiting for my turn to speak to the lady boss, I was just looking around at name tags and pin samples...and low and behold, guess what I saw? Haha...you'll never believe me. I saw an interesting name tag which read, "Shaun Lim - Lieutenant Commander". How cool!
And immediately I took out my phone and took a picture of this unforgettable moment. Haha. Twitter-ed and Facebook-ed it immediately! Many thanks to the iTechnology...:) And yes, the lady asked me, "Is this your friend?" And I said "Yes." She laughed. "Apasal dia suruh buat name tag, tapi tak datang collect?" Haha...more fun and laughter. And so I told the lady that Shaun Lim has left the country cos' he's wanted by the police for some petty crimes.
Don't believe me? Just step in to Lian Pang, you should still see his name tag used as a sample on the display board.
For all those rangers and commanders in Klang valley seeking to make a name tag for yourself, and if you're looking for a sample of how the RR leader's name tag should be, do visit Lian Pang shop ok? His name is there together with a few other blacklisted friends...Helmeey, Tham Choy Yee, Wan Aishah, Pustakawan...
God bless and do have a fantastic week ahead. PMR is over, SPM and STPM is just about to start for some of you. Fight the good fight, and finish the race! Stay focused, and God will see you through. Goodnight, rangers!
How's the day been for all of you? So I heard the good news...it seems that there's a huge bunch of 15 year-olds, form 3 kids running wild all across the nation! PMR finally over eh? Oh well...time for all of you to celebrate your well-deserved break! And oh...my condolences to ranger Trisha, cos I heard the battle ain't exactly over for her! We're praying for you, kiddo! :) As for the rest, go wild and enjoy yourselves before the results are released...cos for some of you, this might be the last time you ever celebrate in a long long time to come! Haha....
From all of us here in Selangor #6, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate 3 of our excellent rangers who have successfully completed the requirements to earn the Gold Medal of Achievement! The GMA is the highest award that a ranger can earn, and we want to extend our congratulations to the 3 of them. They are Daniel Ng, Kelly Yap and Low Lee Yee! Hoooray!! Once again, well done for sticking on the very end, and for putting your heart and head into this. God bless and I do believe He has great plans for all of you!
Our very own 2009 GMA receipients - Kelly Yap, Daniel Ng and Low Lee Yee! This shot was taken after succesfully completing their GMA interview.
I'm looking forward to see all of you in RR this Sunday. Dont forget that we have to practice our skits and performances for the upcoming RR Anniversary on the 1st of November 2009! Its gonna be a good one, for sure...
Till then, stay safe and securely grounded in Jesus...the author and perfector of our faith!
Yes, I'm back once again from isolation...solitude is good for the soul! Well, then again...no man is an island. Its good to be back and be able to keep this space alive with the latest news and hapennings in town and in outpost Sel #6. So tell me...how has your week been? Seems like everyone is busy getting ready for war with the test papers and PMR especially. All the best to each one of you ok?
A big shoutout to Cmdr. Jason Ong and Cmdr. Amy Tan who celebrated their 19th birthday last week! Another year older, another year wiser (hopefully). Haha. Well, God bless the both of you even as you continue to serve Him faithfully through the RR ministry. Amen!
