Just a few hours ago, there was joy and fun... I was totally surprise when my brothers (Macaw, Bear, Bat and Wombat) dropped by my house to celebrate. When Wombat called earlier, he sound kinda sad and trouble... I was thinking, what made him sound so love sick? Who dump him? Haha kidding.

Well, we had a great time playing the cream of the cake on each other faces as well as licking each other's hands. Gayish! Ultimately, it was fun and truly... I can see a stronger bond with each other to develop each other's potential and talent as well as to better serve the unit and district. Our slogan: "Fight with Honour, Win with Pride, Brothers for Life"!

Then, it's back to school again now. Funny, that when it comes to datelines... I'm kinda immune to the fact that it's just a matter of hours away. I would still continue to do my stuff and yet complete the assignment. However, how well has the outcome of the assignment be... it defers. God bless me, please!

I would like to have a revolution in my life. Similarly, that how Turtle would like to have a revolution in her life. Well, it's time to step things up and accelerate in my life. Procrastinating for so many months and delaying on my own personal development. Some may asked, why do I say that? Well, the instrumental courses, the driving and biking courses, kayaking courses and martial art courses were delayed long enough. Some was due to financial while others were mostly due to time and effort to find out about things.

Today, I had a smile on my face in the morning again. This was due to Puffer fish's msg from Australia. Haha I so love her! Woah!. Well, she seems to be doing fine (in her bed resting, while I was resting on the train!!! NO FAIR). I can't wait for her to return to Singapore again. I told her that if she did return, I would leave those nights free for her. Haha sounds wrong. 8 years of friendship... a friend, a buddy, a competitor, a role-model and a fine lady! (Anyway, I was msging her till I reached school... so that amounts to ... ???).

OK I'm trying to find a note pad that I can put up reminders on the blog for events happening for scouts in the district and national. It seems some leaders and scouts do forget about important dates, thus resulting in failure to turn up for events or submission of documents. Any idea, where I can do up a note pad?

My brother was talking to me a few weeks about the two primary school girls that I used to like. Cher and Queen. He was comparing who was better. Finally, he concluded that Cher was good looking (in female terms) and kinda smart. However, he favoured Queen as he thinks that she is better in terms of character, academic and looks (cutie). I don't know... speaking about them out of the blue... seems so weird. How long had I not seen Queen? Since 2006, when Turtle and I went out to Tampines Mall to catch a movie. I wonder when will be the next time.

I feel like meeting so many people. To see how old friends are doing, how new friends are doing, how strangers are reacting. It's weird to feel this way. But yet, it's just for entertainment. I spoke to Jo about the games in the VLC. I was wondering how did the running of my games were like.

Honestly, I do have to apologise that I felt that I didn't do a good job in running the games. This maybe due to missing the previous meeting and not checking out what my role was in advance. Maybe I could explain the games underlying meaning here.

Flag signalling is a game of communication whereby the patrols/ exco is being separated to send messages to each other over a distance whereby they can't hear each other speak. Time was given to allow them to strategize on the method of communication. Well, what makes the game interesting, was the fact that communication plays an important part. If both sides fail to communicate their intended message across... they loses.

Similarly, in an Exco, if communication between members (brothers and sisters) fails. The Exco and the unit would not move on. As such, over time, the unit and Exco would self-destruct and dissolve into thin air.

Minesweeper is a game of strategy whereby members had to remember where the mines are and which step to take. The focal point of the game isn't about just remembering and moving along. It is more of team communication to decide how they will go about to complete the task. Thus communication again plays an important role. However, unlike Flag Signalling... the game allows minimal conflict among members due to the decisions as well as how the members agree with each other to take that step.

Similarly, in an Exco, conflicts over decisions made are very common. However, it's how the Exco handle the situation that allows the team to be strong or destroyed. There are different way of leadership or team dynamics... it's just how to apply it for the right situation and time.

To pay it forward to your unit and the next generation that should be your secondary aim. To have personal development and growth... that should be your primary aim.

If you can't take good care of yourself, how do you expect yourself to take care of others. Similarly, if you can't develop your own skills and knowledge, how do you expect yourself to develop the scouts' skills and knowledge. Lead by example, show the way... but do not be a supporter, be a spotter!
