Kitchen N' Monks...

And yes...the title says it all! Yup, about 2 weeks ago, on the 22nd of Jan, the E-rangers held a 'Chippewa-Kitchen-Making-Day' competition between the two patrol, Krazee Kutu and Power Shieldtox. The bitter rivalry between these two patrols was obvious right from the very start. This modern day rivalry draws comparison between other famous and legendary rivalries such as dogs vs cats, Manchester Utd vs Liverpool, Keane vs Vieira, ACS vs La Salle (PLU boys), MSG vs Convent...you get the picure. On one corner, we have Lisa 'The Terminator' Lee, the leader of insect repellents, Power Shieldtox. And on my right, wearing red and white boxers, we have Shaun 'The Panda' Lim...leader of the mighty pests, Krazee Kutu! Together with the world famous 4 ft kutu, Amy Tan!

The day started off with a time of bible study, and the topic of the day was about the book of Proverbs. Many simple yet powerful teachings in the Bible can be found in this book, and if one desires to be wise...read a chapter a day! The bible study time ended with a time of prayer, where Cmdr. Reuben & Kenny asked God to bless the rangers with wisdom...and lots of it. I personally like the way what the bible says about wisdom. "Wisdom awaits at the entrance of the gates, crying out to anyone who would hear her call..." This is taken from the NIV, btw. (New Indian Version)

Once the rangers had gathered downstairs at the arena, all the necessary equipment and tools distributed to them, the stage was set for an interesting battle. This would be the first inter-patrol competition for the year. And no one wants to end up on the losing side, especially on day One...to find out who's the winner, please take your time to go thru the pics below. The winning patrol is announced at the bottom! Have fun...


Power Shieldtox girls in action...Lisa, Rebecca, Tzi Li, and 'Phiak' Joo! hehe...:)

Shieldtox Box thinking..."The kitchen looks kinda' low, eh?"

"Now that's how its done...and that's why I'm your commander! Yeeeeee ha!"

Kutu babes with their finished product...awww, how adorable they look! Yea right!!!!

Hey hey...not bad! Even the Adventure Girls, led by Cmdr Lilian, fared pretty well...

Yup, looks fine to me alright!

The Lion Dance team was early this time around...Irvin and Vince!

Hmm...Cmdr Kenny kept hanging around this kitchen...I wonder why....:)

4 girls, a tripod, and a kettle full of water...everything looking good! Well done, Shieldtox ladies...

Kutu rawksss!!! (trying to immitate Amy...)

Shieldtox Boys and their mini tripod! Andrew, Simon, Jason, Delven, Ben, Kev, and Thomas...thumbs up, lads!

The Krazeeeeeee Kutu family photo! Check out the father kutu and the two mother kutus beside him! What a lovely couple, eh?

Wow, seems like Chinese New Year is early this time around...pest control family photo!!!

Adventure Girls time! They too passed the test of the kettle effortlessly!

More pics to admire...I bet some of you out there are busy saving all these pics by now, eh? :)

Well, now that we know that everyone of their hand-made camping kitchen passed the test and looked quite marvellous, what do we do next? Well, some rangers decided to take the testing to another level...its called 'The Monkey Test'. Wonder why? Have a look...

Monkey see...

Monkey do... :)

Gorilla thought it was a game and decided to follow....


Well, all in all...it was a fantastic day! Everyone managed to get their kitchen ready in time, made it steady, used the right lashing (I hope) and most importantly, worked together as a patrol. Now that's what I wanna see week in week out! For those experienced ones...help the newbies. For the newbies, participate and learn from others. One way to improve ourselves is to constantly help others improve too. Always remember that, rangers!

Yes yes, I know...you guys wanna know the results. Well, after careful observation and looking at your lashing, the stability of your kitchen, the overall neatness...the results are as following :

Best Kitchen (Guys) : Krazee Kutu..

Best Kitchen (Girls) : Power Shieldtox..

Congrats to the winners...believe me, it was a close call. I had to look at the finer details to determine the winner. A job well done, everyone! Keep up the good work and keep a lookout for the next inter-patrol competition. A big thank you to the Adventure Girls for participating in this merit class. Glad to have you all on board...God bless!
