Environmental Conservation Basic Materials

Oh boy, seems I've not posted for close to two years. Let's reset the clock.

I'm happy to present everyone with some notes you can use for Environmental Conservation Basic. This can be used by any BB company/entity. No permission or acknowledgement is necessary.

It is a short four week course (excluding time needed for practicals and the written exam).

Week 1 - Our trash

Week 2- What we can reuse, recycle and throw away

Week 3 - Composting

Week 4 - Minimum Impact Code

The idea of this course is to instill the right mindset for environmental sustainability and to create some new habits in young people to proactively be involved in the waste reduction process.

Please note that there are FOUR assignments. Three are clearly listed among the slides. Another assignment is a Company-level (or limited to members taking the badge) "gotong royong" where members will clean up a public area (perhaps the neighborhood surrounding the Sponsoring Body or school) together. Please apply the recycling measures taught, which means rubbish should be separated and classified by plastic, paper, metals, and general waste. You may also want to go one step further by soliciting support from your local town council in these efforts.

These materials can be tweaked and improved to suit your teaching requirements.

Hope this helps! God bless.

Setapak Christmas Performance

9 DEC 2017 - It's been awhile since 3rd KL went on "marching band" mode. It was a real mess, but we all gotta restart from somewhere. This is the second time the Company is doing this service for the churches around Setapak who do this each year in conjunction with Christmas. 1st KL has also played a for this function before. 


It was a quick 30-minute march from Setapak Lutheran church down Jalan Genting Klang to Muk En Methodist Church. When marching carrying a heavy instrument, 30 minutes feels like a day. 


A was a great experience! But it highlighted a lot of gaps in our skills which need to be fixed before we can perform well again.

Year End Camp at Pangkor

Had this post in draft - thought I post it as some photos here are memorable. We were prepping for Pesta by also doing a Company camp. It was a "template" trip, one that we mimicked on previous trips to Sitiawan and Pangkor. 

This was from 2nd to 6th December 2017 . Too long ago to recall any details. Even some of the "Boys" here have become officers. But we did spend the first 3 days at Chin Hock Methodist Church - home of 2nd Manjung Company and had the pleasure of a joint Company fellowship. We joined their Sunday church service as well. My thanks to Madam Lau Wai Hong and members of 2nd Manjung for the hospitality.  








Apparently as a thank you we washed their cars? Hopefully we didn't leave a scratch.. 


The second leg of the camp was a getaway to Pangkor Island. We stayed at the place I had my first Year End Ccap - Seagull Resort. 




Posted this 9 years late - but still worth posting.

BB Hong Kong's Drill Competition

I was in Hong Kong for work in November 2017. Typically, we'd be busy each day leading up to our biggest conference in the calendar. But in a surprising (but most welcomed) move, we had the day off on 11th November. I took the time to visit the BB in Hong Kong where one of its divisions were having a drill competition. 

I'm not sure if Hong Kong has laws that forbid showing faces of their members.. which is why the photos below don't reveal much of a persons identity. 



The organisers of this event explained the competition was organised to spur up greater interested in drill. Some Companies were able to form their own teams, while smaller companies combined with another for this occasion.

A major difference (apart from the obvious difference in drill commands, which were in English, and movements) was that teams were led by officers - even captains. That's quite a massive culture shock for me. 



Initially, I was thinking of staying for only an hour, but because I found it so interesting, I ended up staying for the entire duration. I was given the privileged of handing out prizes to some of the winners of the competition at the end (which I was extremely reluctant to do .. not that I was a snob, but because I was not well dress - 3rd KL t-shirt and jeans XD). Congratulations to the winners and may they continue to uphold their drill standards! 

My thanks to BBHK staff Mr Kelvin Tsang and Mr Lau of 27th HK Co. for the fantastic hospitality.
