HI!!!! patrol 5!! so how is your results?? hope is doing GREAT!!!

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. - Thomas Edison

This way of positive thinking is very good and i wish all of you would have that same mindset.

About the running session, as some of you might know, there is currently a unit running challenge on NIKE + , and there is a great prize that awaits......so i hope all of you would be able to contribute to this challenge as most of you have NIKE +. This running thing would not only increase your fitness, but also our patrol bonding.

Since every wednesday meeting there is PT (physical training) , i hope those who have the NIKE+ to bring along and contribute to the patrol nike+ challenge.

Attendance

Hello Patrol 5 :) !! Everyone is talking 'bout your exam results blah blah blah.. so I'm not going say anything. However, I am extremely disappointed in you all. Ever since the last meeting before SA2, the attendance is EXTREMELY poor. Come on. It's just a meeting(FUN FUN FUN) Y waste the chance. (Unless u really have a valid reason of course.) I want to see an IMPROVEMENT in the attendance not only for friday but till the end of the year. Anyway, I would have to commend some people. Hol Yin although talks a lot of "rubbish"(JKJK dun take it so seriously), I see that he puts in a lot of effort in scouts. This is the commitment I wan to see from all of you. Also, I see some potential leaders in our patrol such as Daryl and Wei Yang. However, dun give up the rest of you. Do your best and you too would shine

SCOUTING FTW!! XD

as long as you put in your best, you will get what u deserved. Though you might not get your desired marks, think of it in another way , like you will have more space for improvements and get to learn your mistake and don't repeat it next time. :DD JYJY....ALL THE WAY!!!!

Updates

Hi.....today many of you did not come, but we still have the highest attendance today! 3 cheers man. Some of you told me that i informed you too late, however i posted the info yesterday before 4, which is the standard time( in one of the previous post, i said check the blog after 4 every day before the meeting day). I send all of you the sms is because i scared that you did not check the blog.

The reason why we created the blog is to make communication easier as some of you has no phone. Secondly, Me and liang xiang can reduce the number of sms we sent as during the june holiday, I overshoot by 100+ messages!!! That is why we have the blog.

Lastly, I would organize a outing for those who did not buy their footdrill boots. Sorry for the SUPER long delay.

Thanks.

GREAT WORK today guys!!!! Building pioneering is much much much better than war games or any games because of the satisfaction....and GREAT sense of achievement...WELL DONE!!! I AM PROUD TO BE IN PATROL 5....don't all of you??...:D

Anyway...though today was a big success, i believe in future we can build even bigger and more awesome structure. :D Another thing to take note, Building a quadrapod with 6 people should be done less than 20 mins.....as normal standard, but....All of you did well as this was your first time building such a big structure. :D Today we took 1 plus hour just to build, not a very good number but can be improved. Next time maybe we will try to build a tripod, which is easier and important part in order to pass your SS pioneering. FYI tripod has to be done by 6 people under 10 minutes......I believe you can do it!!! :DD

Alright, donation draw. Tomorrow is the deadline for the donation draw ticket submission. Cyrus and Julius, you are the few who have not handed up. Please do so tomorrow. By hook or by crook.

Meeting on friday. I am still not sure whether there is meeting on friday, but BE PREPARED!! If there is no meeting, i would like to bring the remaining few to buy the footdrill boots. Sorry for the long delay. If there is meeting on friday, we would be doing PAK ( Parang Axe Knife). :D

Alright, keep up the good work and stay happy!!!

Thanks.

IMPORTANT UPDATES!!!!!

Good job guys!!! our patrol attendance has been increasing since the start of the term. It is the HIGHEST i have ever seen since i came. Although the attendance rate is VERY VERY GOOD, still i hope you will continue to come for meetings as scouting is very fun. Great jobs guys!! :DDDDD

Though the attendance is good, discipline in this patrol has rooms for improvement. If you think we are harsh on you, please take note we are VERY LENIENT compared to last years. Scouts who have been here since last year should know. So please be more disciplined, have a sense of urgency and know when to play and not to :D

Another thing, regarding the YOG volunteer thing. The YOG people should have sent you an email about the job offer they are offering. Please go to your email and go to the portal. In the email they stated your username and password, which you have to change later on. In case you don't know which email you put, i will type it out:
