Allow me to begin by apologizing for the delay in updating the RR blog. Its been a tough week for many...ever since Shaun left for NZ. No one to use as punching bag, no one to take us shopping, no one to take us go-karting, no one to do sound for us....:( Anyway, now that I've finally moved out from my state of depression, its about time to tell you the good stuff that's been happening! Amen to that!
Well...as we all know, RR is BACK IN ACTION! *clap*clap* Yes, kinda' late and lame for me to shout about it, but hey...better late than never! Just like the tortoise in the fairytale...:) Anyway, RR Sel#6 started off the year 2008 with a BANG! Yup, asalkan ada gaya, that's how we roll! Man...I'm telling ya, there was a sense of excitement in the air! I dont know about you, friends...but I have this tickling feeling in me that says 2008 is gonna be one awesome year! And I'm praying that you'll find this true in each of your lives...there's like a renewed sense of passion for the Lord, and a greater sense of excitement that seems to blanket over us! Let's keep on persevering and see what the Lord has in store for us, yea?
And so...view the pics below, and have a great time looking ahead for an amazing adventure in 2008! I'm excited as ever...how about you?
The leaders spending some time in prayer before the show began...
And so...after all that has been said and done, it was finally time to open up the gates and let the rangers in! And how amazing...the first ranger in is none other than our very own mascot...Lucas Chee! You know its going to be a great year ahead....
Hey hey...check this out! Chinese New Year's early this time around...our very own lion dance team. All the way from Australia, presenting you...Cmdr Vincent Chin! Amazing that he can still fit in his uniform!
The Adventure girls looking a bit lost...maybe its because of the Chinese New Year feeling in Jan...
Ah hah...presenting your our Y.A.B Dato Seri Eric Teh Seng Giap (UPSR, PMR, SPM, NTC, LTC, LSA) and the newest member of the RR family, Ryan!
Sr. Cmdr Reuben kicking things off and welcoming back the rangers! Gosh...we missed each and every one of them!!!
Some rangers will ALWAYS look cute and give you that 'Hug-Me-Please' look...as shown here by Bryan! 
And so...with the dawn of a new year, its time for new age groups for some, new commanders to lead the group, and a whole new level of excitement! Here's Cmdr. Eric handing over some of this Ranger Kids that have graduated and will move on to the Discovery age group, received by Cmdr. Wei Chuan. Well done, boys and girls! Its always a sad moment as leaders, to finally say goodbye to some who have been under your care for many years...but nevertheless, to see them grow, and to watch them develop into young boys and girls that will continue to lift His name up high, its altogether amazing...
Here's the Discovery Boys commanders with their latest signings for 2008 during the Jan transfer window!
For many, moving up to another age group is an exciting moment. But for some, its never easy to say goodbye...I've seen many things in my time as a ranger, but I've never seen a moment like this for a long long time! This little girl really moved by heart that day...
I bet Cmdr. Wei Chuan, ZF, and Jayson will miss their club mascot, Lucas Chee! Finally leaving the nest and charting out his next adventure. Its finally time for the boy to be a young man...
Here's Cmdr. Ben and Cmdr. Jason, with their entire football team of Discovery boys that moved up to the Adventure group. They've got some pretty interesting characters in there...I can tell you that! Fun times ahead, for sure!
The newbies of Adventure girls 2008! Time for some in-house ragging after this...haha! Cmdr. Laura and Alison looking happy with their new bunch of fun-puffs!
The E-Rangers commanders waiting anxiously for their 'New Year Gifts'...
Taaa daaaa!! Wow...that's a pretty big bunch of Adventure Girls moving on to the Expedition group! Well done to them...they've done extremely well throughout the last year! With them around, there's never gonna be a dull moment! Farewell pic together with their Adventure commanders...
"Dont you think I'm cute? I know I am...the fact that you can't stop taking my pic confirm that!"
Discovery Boys 2008! These kids pack more punch that any WMD! Dont know what WMD stands for? Google it up...:) Chehhhwah!
Goodbye Adventure! Welcome Expedition...the new macho boys moving up to Expedition territory...
Ladies and gentlemen, presenting you...the new batch of Junior Commanders who have gone through the ranks and made it successfully to this stage! Well done, lads. These are certainly exciting times to be able to sere alongside them! Just look at Cheryl with her face thing....adui....
And so...after going through the handover of rangers, it was time to announce the new-line up for the commanders in 2008. When the names of the leaders have all been announced, everyone was excited with the new leaders in their age group...especially Simon (in the above pic). Once finding out who his commanders are, he fell to his knees, praising the Lord...well, that's not quite what he shouted. It was more like..."Ohhhh noooooooooooooooo!!!" Haha...
Now you know why....haha! Immediately, our in-house FRU squad swooped in to prevent a riot from breaking out...we do not tolerate street protests! :) No Hindraf, Dandruff or any sort of draft ok? Cheers...
Discovery Boys 2008...

Now that everything's in place and in order, it was time to finally roll...its amazing just thinking of how much we can do together in 2008! So many souls to reach out to...so many lives to impact...God, we ask that you'll enlarge our territory, enlarge our tents, and most of all...enlarge our hearts and hands...
Oh...just in case your memory fails you, that's Shaun Lim (the latest sheep boy)....flanked by Cmdr. Andrew Yew! We miss you, bro...fyi, futsal at 5pm! Be that Guy!

Peter, Leonard, Kok Foong, Amos and Zhi Kai...
"Hah...take out all your handphones and place them in the donation tray now! Dont make me do a full-body search!" Cmdr. Kenny lays down the house rules...
Our in-house MPK officers with their goodies after the spot-check...man, what's with kids these days and handphones?? Some even carry 3!! I dont understand...3 handphones, but 2 ears??? How do you do that????
The commanders planning (scheming) how to equally divide the patrols...we are fair. Infact, we are VERY fair! 
Check out Cmdr. Sheila's gaya when she points with her finger...one hand pointing, while the other supporting the backbone! Haha...a big welcome to her too! Our latest signing for the ER coaching staff!

Our Power Ranger Task Force squad...Daniel Seliong and boyfriend, Nigel Lim.
Senior Citizen clubhouse...Cmdr. Vince and Cmdr. Wei Chuan. I'm telling you..these 2 fellas have crossed more bridges than you have walking on road. They've eaten more pork than you've eaten rice...

As your Senior Commander, personally...there's only one main goal for me this year that I would like to see happen, for each ranger and leader that's a part of this ministry. My hope and desire is that each one of you will discover and fulfill the purpose and destiny that God has placed in your lives. Also, that each of you will grow, develop and become all that you can be for the glory of His kingdom and the power of His name...boys and girls, men and women, walking tall in His footsteps, our master Ranger....Jesus Christ!
That is my prayer for 2008 for each one of you...
God bless and see ya in the next RR meeting on Feb 3rd!
