Yes...for the millions of fans who missed me...I'm glad to let you know that the Boss is back in town!! Thanks for your prayers and well-wishes throughout my little adventure Down Under. Its been an amazing getaway for me. The things I've seen and experienced...simply breath-taking! Will sharw with you guys more once I have the chance...I've got loads of stories to share and chocolates to spread the love! Haha....too bad. No kangaroos for you guys. Never trust a man who's initials are VC...:P
If you wanna claim your kangaroo soft toys, go find VC @ Melbourne or claim from the brother @ Kapar.
Not too long ago, in a far far away land...in the silence of the pristine rainforest of the Woods, KKB...all heaven broke loose when the forest was swamped by over 40 outdoor-loving and socks-rocking Adventure & Expedition rangers from Selangor #6! Suddenly the peaceful forest sounded like a riot/fun fair. But hey, thats just the start! The main objective of this camp was to cover 6 merits to help the rangers earn their Bronze & Silver medals and also to also give the newer rangers a fast-track. The next objective of this camp was to provide the rangers with an unforgettable outdoor & camping experience, and not forgetting...to have FUN! And true enough...being rangers, we did have lots of fun in the outdoors.
There's nothing like sitting around a campfire at night, enjoying a campfire-cooked meal, having a multitude of stars over your head, listening to the sound of the river and leaves (and your tent-mate snoring)...its an experience to savour. Oh well, do enjoy the pics below courtesy of Cmdr. Sheila Yong. More pics will be available soon at the RR Photo Gallery. You know the drill...just click on the image on the right for more pictures of the camp! Have funnnnn!
The rangers lookin' good and tight in their RR uniforms during morning parade...
The scene during the morning parade...wanna know why Jarrod isn't in his uniform (last row, extreme right)? Cauz' this smart fella wore his pants and left the shirt at home! Classic la...
Here's Senior Cmdr. Reuben sharing devotion during the morning parade. Just as the disciples endured the storm with Jesus, rest assured that God will be with us through our darkest days and during our times of trials...like attending the Adventure Camp! Haha.
Here's Cmdr. Andy fascilitating the Fire Craft station. When it comes to playing with fire, everyone was pretty excited about the prospect of burning things (friends & commanders included!). Good job, bro!
Here's Mr. Ting Ting busily taking notes during the merit classes in the morning. Definitely one of my favourite lads...
Cmdr. Reuben and his new-found friend called Rama..."Sorry mate, no nuts for you today. Go find mama ET." After a thorough check, we found out that Rama...is in fact a lady monkey. Definitely one of the super-friendly monkeys around town...
Hands clenched and held close to your heart during prayer - the RR style.
Cooking lunch for the patrol over campfire...together with Councilmen Jeff Yee.From left - Debs, Mich, Brandon, Lee Yee, Benson, Peter and Matthias.
Cmdr. Reuben with his lovely assistant, Cmdr Daniel...during the Tool Craft session. Common Sense, Courtesy and Safety. Practice them always!
Too much...check out how manja this fella is! She ended up getting a free massage from all the rangers! After much checking, we found out that our hairy friend is closely related to Cmdr. Benjamin Yee. Hahahaha....and they had this love-hate relationship goin on throughout the camp. The monkey had all the love, while Cmdr. Ben had the BB gun. Enough said...
Surprise! Surprise! Another one of Rama's distant relation...Cmdr. Sheila!! Congrats....:P Oh btw, just to let you know...we did not force the monkey to attend our classes. She gladly joined in.
The faces of Adventure Camp 2009 - Denyse Chan! Cute cute...but chilli padi!
Marcus Choo and his Coco Crunch Bear plate...dont be fooled by his cute looks! :P
Debbie following the footsteps of a great chef....her mum! :) Rock the wok, Debs!
Jojo showing us how to keep the fire goin! This boy has lungs as big as an opera singer. He could prob blow up a balloon with one breath! We had to tell him to slow down cauz he almost started a forest fire...haha!
Oh..dont be fooled by Casovia. She was just posing with the ladle for the camera! Hahaha...not bad huh? She actually looks like she cooked the meal.
Patrol spirit in action. There's nothing like working together, living life and cooking as a patrol. I'm proud of each and everyone of you for the good work done and for the excellent patrol spirit and together-ness shown.
Didn't know that the Chippewa kitchen could end up being a stool...as shown here by Xin Jie! Haha...
Ting Ting & Vincent...sharing a brotherly moment together. Haha...
Here's our senior-citizen ranger Kelly Yap showing us how to do the 'toilet squat' cooking position while making the pasta sauce. Haha. Well done, Kelly! You're truly an excellent ranger to have in Sel #6.
The smoking-man...Matthew Lin! Have you guys watched the movie Australia? Doesn't he look a lil' but like King George? :)
Water games!!! My favourite...well, the commanders decided to let the rangers have their share of fun first, before taking them on in battle. Its a good tactic because most of the cmdrs are either 'old' and have 'battered & decaying bodies'. Haha....check out David Wong with his goggles. Dont know what he plans to see underwater.
Here's a 3-pointed by Matthew. Check out the gaya pose, wei...like Hand of God!
Bryan Lau. The Rambut of RR Sel #6. How in the world does he do it???
All the sexy men and cmdrs sitting patiently at the sideline...waiting for their share of the action! Handsome giler eh? Hahah...
Sejuk wei! The water was like freezing cold when we all got in...check out Trisha and Bryan's faces...but then again, all these water babies went wild once the water games started! Just like pigs waddling in mud...:P
Another gaya shot by Xin Jie....check out the old men sitting on the reserve bench on the sidelines.
Have you ever seen Jojo looking this happy??? Man and a ball. I just dont understand what makes them so happy about it...haha.
While some were thrashing it out in the water....some still found the time and energy to look good for the camera. Michelle's smile stole the lime-light....:)
Not enough of splashing it out in the water, some decided to continue on land. The fun never stops in RR camps! And thats a fact...
Fooooyoh! Check out the man of the hour (Zhi Kai) with his return shot. Just look at how afraid Bryan is of the ball. Hahahahah! Good stuff, lads. I had an absolutely fun time beating you kids in a game of Captain ball, and occasionally water wrestling. Haha...more to come ok!That's all for today, folks. I know you've been waiting for this for some time...and yes, I hope you'll have fun reading this post and viewing the pics. Do stay tuned for more pics from the Adventure Camp and those oh-so famous quotes and memories that each ranger had to share...cant wait to share them with you!
