Japanese for Dummies 101... By: The Boss No comments

Teriyaki Kawasaki Suzuki Mitsubishi!! Sashimi Unagi Sony Pokemon Ultraman Ramen....

Well, as you can see...with all the buzz and fear about the H1 virus aka Pig Flu spreading around the globe, there's been another strain of virus thats hitting the land of Klang...its called the J Virus!!! Yeap...if you dont already know, its called the Japanese virus!! One clear symptom is when you start slurring and your language suddenly sounds all foreign, and you start muttering words such as Sanyo, Sumo, sushi, tuna mayo, kanimayo, Honda city, E-honda, Nakata, Sakae....

Imagine this: You wake up in the morning at 6am...and the first thing you do is to scream with all your heart "KAMIKAZEEEEEE!!!" Then you know for sure you've been hit by the Japanese Camporama flu!!! Haha...dont go lookin' for your kitchen knife after that ok? Take it easy, pals. In less than 15 days, the wait is finally over!! After months and months of waiting, we're finally down to the last 14 days before Camporama 2009!!

Please take note of the following important announcement from our City Mayor, Andy Gan san.

CAMPORAMA 2009 CAMPER'S BRIEFING

Attendance: COMPULSORY

Time: 1.30pm @ MPH2, GTAK

Please take note that this camp briefing is compulsory for all the 130 campers from Selangor #6! Yes..its going to be an exciting day as we have many things lined up for you all the way till 3.30pm. Come prepared to find out more on what to expect at Camporama 2009, and lets get the Japanese team spirit going!!

And oh...I noticed that this week and the previous week seems to be a good time for babies to be born! Oh well, we've got plenty of May babies this time around (more like every year). And so, here's a little tribute from all of us here in Selangor #6, to our beloved rangers and commanders who celebrated their birthday recently! God bless and hope you had a smashing week!

Up first we have our veteran, former Senior Commander, and much loved and respected friend...Commander Jeffrey Lim!! A biggie up to him for turning 56...or was it 65...on May 18th! Way to go, cmdr! Keep those years comin' in. God bless!

Just in case you're wondering, here's the one in the middle (seated).

In runners-up spot, we have the delightful Cmdr. Lisa Lee, who turned sweet-sour 19 on the 24th of May! God bless and all the best in your exams...

Not wanting to be left out...in 3rd place, we have Mr. Yap Zhi Kai!!! The indestructable, self-proclaimed 'John Terry' of Malaysia, the most lengchai man in Bukit Kuda area...yeap, thats what he claimed himself to be. God bless and blessed birthday! This sun we'll let you score for free ok? ok? :) He turned 16 on 25th May (which was like yesterday)...

And last but not the least, we have the Ms. Sherlyn Wong, who just completed her MUET (we hope she scores a Band 6), and who's officially 19 today!!! Woooohooo!! Happy birthday, Sherlyn!! God bless....

And so, there you have it friends. All the birthday boys, girls and babi(es). Its been a fruitful week (quite literally). I bet everyone's geared up for the match of the year, Catalans vs Red Devils. Choose your side well...but at the end of the day, dont forget that the trophy is coming home to Old Trafford. :)

*You'll Never Walk Alone*

God bless and have a splendid week ahead! Remember...colour of the week: Red.

Arigato!

Can You Feel The Heat?? By: The Boss No comments

Greetings rangers, commanders and friends of Selangor #6!

Yes yes...once again, my thousand apologies for keeping you guys and girls waiting in suspence and testing your patience and long-suffering abilities. I've been...around. Yes, been all around the country, travelling a lot and getting stranded at times, taking some time off to do some soul searching. And yes...I found myself once again. Its good to be back where I belong. Dont you agree?

As you (and the rest of the ranger world) already know, we're about 32 days away from Camporama 2009! Yes...I get that same jaw-dropping expression everytime I see the countdown...but hey, its getting closer and closer. Have you signed up??? If not, please do so by this coming Sunday! Remember, this camp is open to ALL rangers and non-rangers. Basically, anyone and everyone that has legs, hands and (half) a brain are eligble to sign up for this camp! Oh well, you get the drift...sign up ASAP!

Just to give you a preview of what you can expect once you get to Benum Hill Resort....as mentioned, this is a beautiful campsite. Dont believe me? Take a look at the pics below and judge for yourselves. :)

Walkways that calms the storm raging in your soul...

The beauty lies in its simplicity...

Walking never felt this good and peaceful...oh btw, thats Jon Lee in the pic! :)

A scene from the beatiful lake, that will host our water championship activities...trust me, you dont want to miss out on this!

So what are you waiting for? Come join us for 4 days of pure exhiliration and awesome fun and challenge that will be remembered for a very, very long time to come! It changed my life. What about you?
