Team Building Class

We have a new class called TEAM BUILDING CLASS
It is a class which teaches us about leadership, teamwork,creativity,responsibilities,promise and others.
This class will be handled by Sgt Sin Yee.

We started our first class on today.
For afternoon section, they had learnt about obedience.

Obedience means do what one is told to do
It is a good habit and can train us to be a person of discipline

How do we practise obedience?
- By doing drill
- Listen and follow the instructions given by parents, teachers, officers, ncos, seniors

And for morning section, we had learnt about impossible to possible
Nothing is impossible is you think you can

Why it to be impossible?
- Never give it a try before
- Have no ideas to start a new thing
- Not believing
- I CAN’T do it
- I have no confidence

Why could it be possible?
- Paying 100% commitment
- Dare to risk, to share
- Giving opinions
- Open minded, trusting each others
- Support and listen to others’ opinions

After listening the class, we had a sharing time
We shared our own opinions about our Platoon situation
and discussed together for the solutions

We also played some games during the time
We found that the importance of obedience and everything is possible through the games.

It is a interesting and meaningful class
hope that everyone can remember the things we learnt today,
recall what we did wrongly before and start to change it now.

+ The Great Father +

Take some time to see the following message and click into the website to see the video,
which is very touching.

One day, a son asks his dad "Daddy, would you like to run a marathon with me?".
The father says "yes".
And they run their first marathon together.

Another time, the son asks his dad again "Daddy, would you like to run a marathon with me?". The father says "yes son".

One day, the son asks his father " Daddy, would you run the Ironman with me?"
The Ironman is the most difficult triathlon ever (4 kms swimming, 180 kms bikin, 42 km running.)

And the dad says "yes".
The story looks simple until you watch the following clip.
Just amazing, how much can love be.... ?

Freshman Camp

On 28th February - 1st March 2009,
our platoon had organised a 2 days 1 night freshman camp.
There were 70 members attended this camp.

In this camp,
we played some games about the BB knowledge, treasure hunt and also station games.
Besides, we had watched Pesta and 50 anniversary video.
There were a small concert and camp fire during the night.

The next day, after morning exercise we played Frisbee together.
We gave a small souvenir which is a Platoon B name card with calendar to all the members.
This camp ended at 12.00pm.

This was the first time we organised freshman camp.
It was quite successful.
I think all of us enjoyed in this camp
and hope that the next year freshman camp will be better.

I am very sorry about it.

Freshman Camp 2009

Platoon B of the 1st Johor Bahru Company is organizing a Freshman Camp in conjunction with the recruitment drive in 2009. The main purpose of the camp is to allow new recruits/students to mix with members of the BB and to familiarize with the new school environment.

Also, through this camp, new recruits will be able to experience BB movement through various activities including campfire night, interactive team-building games, camping in tents and etc. Since it is meant for new recruits, hence, the campsite is more suitable to be in the school itself ( Sek. Men. Keb. Taman Tun Aminah ).

Hence, the Freshman Camp will be held on 28th February and 1st March 2009 ( 2days 1 night ). The participants are required to pay only a minimum fee of RM10 for the food as the rest will be absorbed by the 1st Johor Bahru Company.

Any emergency event, please contact Mr.Lee ( 012-7621064 ) or Mr.Tey ( 012-7643443 ).
