It's been donkey year's since I've been for a Company Retreat for the obvious reason that I've been away in Australia. OCF Retreats are different from BB ones - it's more of a workshop cum fellowship trip (maybe that's just Clayton..). BB retreats focus more r
eflecting on it's programmes and what to do next year and beyond.
The past few retreat's I had with 3rd KL is always at Fraser's (cause it's someones favourite spot). This year we headed to somewhere different for a change - Melaka. We stayed at the Wesley Methodist Church Melaka hostel and had our meetings there. It was a pretty rushed retreat as it was still a school day, compromising on meeting times. Perhaps we'll make it on a holiday for sure next time.. which in turn requires the E&A (for promotion of NCOs) to happen earlier as well.
To me the retreat has several main objectives.
1. To evaluate the past
2. To know where/how we are at present
3. Plan for the future.. like 3 years ahead
4. To realise why we are serving in BB
5. To fellowship and enhance relationship with one another
6. To have fun and get away from work
I can't say for sure if we have achieved all our objectives, but we definitely knew how to move ahead. Hopefully, we'll see a stronger 3rd KL in time to come.. blessing the needs of many Boys in the future.
We had some time to explore the town.. which I've been to so many times. But it was only the second time I was there for the weekend.. when it was far more happening than the weekdays. Unfortunately, I was holed up in the restaurant waiting for the 2nd Melaka Officers who got stuck in traffic on the way to the riverview restaurant. Still, it was a great view.. Melaka is definitely getting prettier year after year.
Great view from the restaurant. Picture snapped by me by the way!
Satay Kelup! Too bad these kids ain't fond of it. They wanted McDonalds! GOSH.
Well, 3rd KL.. hopefully God will continue to lead us and sustain us.
