BACK TO BASIC

Hi all,

hope all of you have done well for your EOYs and have had a good break for 2 months and a half since Night Hike!
YES, now it's back to usual training. HOORAY!
hopefully, all of you that came today had really benefitted and be inspired by the old boys (in their 50s). to me, they are really inspirational because i had definitely appreciated my time in 01 more after their sharings. their experiences had given us a lot of vital advices towards lives, but more importantly, we should always remember what they had shared with us regarding lives within and without 01, i believe it will really help us in a long run. so for those who never come, too bad really... (:

um next wed 24/10 will b e photo taking day, so do bring full scout uniforms and p.e shirts and pants. most likely have PT

Joel please do update us on PATROL LOGS. we wouldnt want to procrastinate do we? faster get it done with and then we will we able to slack the whole of dec holiday, so pls cooperate with joel and i.

on the side note, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON LIM! you will be turning 14 right? have fun in 01 and with ur batchmates!
maybe next weekend we can go out as a patrol, most likely the last 'patrol fun' before gROUP TrAINING camP, which joel and i have been mentioning for quite some times... but i will update u guys when the time is nearer. so yeah do check ur message and email.

Have a good rest and next week, all the best when the results are out!
