Boys' Brigade 17th Penang Company
Basic and Advance NTS review.
Friday, April 1 / 10:26 PM ?
Corporal Bernice Tan said;
This is the very first time I join BNTS as a camp helper. I want to thank Captain Ang and Captain Jonathan and of course God for giving me the opportunity. Being a helper also make you learn how to team up with helpers from other companies while preparing for the camp. Seeing the BNTS participants took me down memory lane. I was once in their shoes, persevering throughout the camp, trying hard to stay awake, surviving hundreds of star jumps. Both either basic or advance NTS teaches us courses that we can apply in our own company. NTS is a very good camp to train up leaders in Boys' Brigade. Great leaders are made, not born. Once again I am very thankful to be able to participate in BNTS as a helper. I wish to participate next year to learn even more things. We can never stop learning.
Corporal Derrick Chin said;
This is my third time join BNTS as a camp helper, every year sure got new things to let me learn. This year got a lot of new face camp helpers from each company. In BNTS history, just Corporal or above and after SPM member can join as camp helpers, this year is special that BNTS allow Lance Corporal to join. This year, I meet a lot of NCOs that from different company, when work with them, I can learn a lot of things. Communication and working with them is updated me to higher level and learn their experience.
Corporal Jacky Tan said;
Firstly, I want to thank God that gave me a chance to be a helper in BNTS. And God also gave us a nice whether during that 3 days. This time I learnt a lot of things as a helper. I also knew many friends through BNTS. Most of them are friendly and we all had a good teamwork at there. When I need any helps, they sure will give me a help. Look at those campers were so tired and suffer, sometimes I really wants to help them. But I couldn’t, because this was a training camp. Anyway, I really enjoyed myself very much in the camp and I’m looking forward for the next year :D
Lance Corporal Cheah Yixian said;
ANTS; the strict-est camp that I had ever been. For me myself with bad stamina, BNTS was tired enough to finish those starjumps and punishments but after ANTS, only I realised that BNTS was actually so easy. First day the registration not even started then we have to run 2 rounds of parade ground because that we didn’t discipline ourselves properly. That was okay until the passing-waterbottle time, we passed bottle got like 15 times + maybe? Even the BNTS-ers finished their opening ceremony and also their classes and yet we were still passing. And through that, I had learnt that we should have always set our target before doing something and of course with cooperation with your team members. The memorable part was the second day, the so-called-extra-activities-day, we got like 3000+ starjumps and also 3000+ rounds to run at the parade ground, and guess what. We, all the ANT-ers negotiated with Sir Loh from 3000+ starjumps to 400 starjumps and no more of running parade ground . That was the best part. Of course, include the classes, learnt a lot of things that as a leader and daily life we should apply it and also not forgetting those awesome friends and classmates that I’ve met! Last day not much of things happened, of course very happy but sad because it was about to end. Lastly Thank to our Father Lord, that guided the whole camp smoothly , gave us strength to finished it and too everyone safe! Praise the Lord! Well, the phrase that remind me of this camp is , belum cuba, belum tau. It started with one of us and Sir Loh keep on using that to us. Seriously belum cuba belum tau , so mesti cuba only tau =) To me, really really never give up until the end, then it will be sucessed.
* Never give up! Shine for 17th penang company!

在三月的假期里，我和少年军第17分队的朋友去了一个小队长高级组训练营。
在这三天两夜的训练营中，我学习了许多东西。我虽然很累，但这是值得的。
从中我学习到当我们要做任何事情时，都必须先三思而后行。我们必须要有计
划，然后才可以进行所有的活动。另外，我也学习如何去沟通，要自动去认识别
人，认识更多的朋友。我们都必须互相帮助，无论遇到什么难题，大家都一起面
对，一起解决，因为单靠一个人的力量，是不能办到的。
让我最难忘的时刻就是当所有人都一起面对难题时，大家一起思考及互相提出
意见的时刻。这种场面是很难在学校或外面体会到的。这个营会主要是要让我们
学习成长，让我们更加的独立，及在外面工作时需要的勇气。在这营会中也让我
知道社会上会发生的问题，让我深深地体会了出外工作所会面对的困难。
我很珍惜这次的小队长高级组训练营，这让我受益不浅。在这里我要鼓励更多
还没去这生活营的朋友们，要好好把握这机会，若是错过了，就很难有机会了。

在ＡＮＴＳ，我学到了＇ＳＭＡＲＴ Ａ＇，这可帮助我设定目标．ＳＭＡＲＴ Ａ
就是ＰＥＣＩＦＩＣ,ＥＡＳＵＲＡＢＬＥ,ＣＨＩＥＶＥＢＬＥ,ＥＬＥＶＡＮＴ,ＩＭＥＴＡＢＬＥＤ,ＧＲＥＥＤ.
我还学到认识有很多种品格例如值得信任，责任感，公平等．还学到冲突是由三种元素组成的，有人为，程序，问题．还还有冲突的程度等等．还有个人塑造是由信念，价值观，等的．还有教我解决问题要有六个步骤：察觉有问题，收集有关资料，认清问题，推演一些解决方法，挑出最佳解决方法，实行解决方案．这这些东西都对我有很大的帮助，我也很高兴能够参加这次的训练营．

感谢主，让我们这班少年军的军官们和小队长们，有机会一起去Pulau Langkawi 游玩。
同样的也感谢马来西亚少年军槟城第十七分队支付我们的飞机票，住宿和其他。
我们每一个人只须多给RM50在这次的旅行。这些都是上帝的恩典和上帝的安排。
第二，感谢主，在这次的旅游里，让军官们和小队长们之间的关系更加亲密。
谢谢苏军牧和Cpl雪雯，为我们安排了参观不同的地方，从中也学到很多东西。
这次是我第三次去Pulau Langkawi ，前两次没有去过的地方，这次全都去了。
Corporal Bernice Tan;
Of course first I am going to thank the Lord our God for giving me a chance to join this trip. This trip to Langkawi is the very first trip that I went with my BB family where none of us had to 'work', just fun and laughter. It really touches my heart how 16 people who are NOT blood related can get along so well under one roof. Amazing? Indeed. During the trip, I get to know more about my family members. Who's the shopaholic, who's the one who will go straight to the food stall in a night market, who snores, who uses a Winnie the Pooh towel for shower. Despite all that we still had a splendid time together. I love my BB family where we all serve the same purposes and the same Father.
Corporal Jacky Tan ;
Firstly I wanna thank God because He gave us a memorable trip in this time. .During the trip, there is only one time raining. And lucky our room got air-cond, if not I can’t imagine how are eight peoples squeezing in a room. .Haha. . It is my first time vacation with friends without my family :) Secondly, I want to thank to my lovely officers because they had given me a surprise, that is promotion during trip. .I was promoted to Corporal :) Aww, for me, it is really meaningful and very touching :P I promised God that I’ll work harder in future. You guys gonna work harder together with me too. By the way, I enjoyed the trip so much and I’m looking forward to it in next year too =] Lance Corporal Cheah Yixian; Erm erm from the Langkawi trip, I can say, It was super superrrrr funnnnn! :D everything but not the food. I was like very long time didn’t sit plane and this time, I get to sit again . feeling really nice, especially with company people all and of course, with the surprise birthday celebration with Jayden and madam. Very memorable moments . And and, not only for play la, got learnt things one kay. I had finally knew the Mahsuri’s story with details, hah cause I only know the story in blur case during primary time. Besides, the process is much more important than playing over there. All the fun we had together, is like, so many people lived in one house and have to wait for each other for the bathrooms, have lunch dinner, shopping together, hanging and playing around and so on. Super enjoyed for the trip , Thank God for providing us a blessed trip and guided us all along the way and, thanks to our 17th Penang Company :) Lastly, not forgetting to thanks David Sir and Jon Sir too for bringing us around the town and take care us.
Lance Corporal How Gen Shen;
At first, I want to thank 17th penang company for giving us this chance to Langkawi. I also wanted to thank Pastor Saw for being the driver like a tourist guide in Langkawi and took us to many wonderful places. And thank God for being with us all the time and kept us from the troubles and accidents, especially on the airplane. And God had also healed and be with Jayden when he was sick. At this trip, we went to all places of Langkawi. Although the places of tourism was not very interested but we all had enjoy all the time and I’m so appreciate the time that we spent together. We ate, enjoy, laugh and slept together. We also went to many shopping mall to buy chocolates, cause the chocolates there are cheaper and tax free. And I bought many chocolates for my family and friends. And we went to some natural places such as beaches and waterfall and we experienced the wonderful nature that God has created. The beach were clean and the water from the hill tops are cold and fresh. By the way, we went to a special beach that have black colour sands. Its so amazing.
Again. I wanted to say thank you to 17th penang for giving this opportunity to all NCO’s and thank all Sirs and madam for accompany us. And lastly I wanted to give all the praise and honour to our father in the heaven.
Lance Corporal Goh He Mi;
一个浮罗交怡的旅行，让我体会到住在槟城的幸福。怎么这么说呢？
因为浮罗交怡的食物啊，实在是不能跟槟城比，我们到那儿，找不到比槟城好要好吃的食物了。所以，住在槟城的弟兄姐妹们啊，要好好珍惜哦！
在2010年的12月假期里，我和男少年军第17分队的NCO和Office Sir 们一起到浮罗交怡旅行。我们坐飞机到那儿，这也是我第一次乘坐飞机去旅行。我非常的兴奋，第一次坐飞机的感觉非常的爽，又刺激。当天，我们还在飞机上面为Jonathan Sir 的孩子的太太庆祝他们的生日，非常热闹。
浮罗交怡的食物虽然没比槟城好吃，但那儿的空气，环境和道路都比槟城好。那儿的空气很新鲜，环境很好。在那儿，到处都可以看到花草树木。汽车的数量比较少，所以我们要去任何的地点都很快。
我很喜欢那边的风景，尤其是海边。写着，我又想起我们在海边一起拍的照片，一起玩水，一起享受这凉爽的海风。看啊～神所创造的美丽景色。
我们在那儿住在小宿舍。第一天晚上，我们一起吃宵夜——汉堡包。我们吃得汉堡包也算不错，很好吃，特别。第二晚也不例外，我们不是吃汉堡包，我们一起吃杯面。在我们的宿舍楼下有一间7-eleven，有些是自备的，有些在7-eleven买。在这个罗交怡的旅行里，我花了蛮多的钱，接近RM150。
我非常的开心有这个机会可以和我和男少年军第17分队的NCO和Office Sir 们一起参与这个旅程。我非常的感谢主赐给我这个机会，也要感谢少年军第17分队主办这个活动。Sir 说我们会有这个机会是因为我们的BB Month做的很好，所以在今年，我们也要做的更好。Labels: Reviews, Updates
Happy CNY '11
Wednesday, February 2 / 10:47 PM ?
Hello everyone! So Chinese New year 2011 is tomorrow ay? Counting down to collect red packets with great anxiety and joy. Going to church the next morning wearing your new bought CNY clothes hoping this year's Chinese New Year would be better than the previous ones. Visiting your relatives, talking and laughing about old times. Looking through old photos when you and your cousins are still in diapers. That's when all the bonding happens. Every year, no matter how busy you are, there will still be a day where you have to return to your parent's house for a lovely reunion dinner together. Not everyone has a family or a home to return to during CNY. Appreciate yours before its too late :)
Money can buy you something but it can't buy you everything.
Last but not least, we the 17th Penang Company wishes all of you a very
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 2011! Labels: Others, Updates
NCO Retreat Day 3
Saturday, January 1 / 8:13 PM ?
Bonjour all! It means Hello in French in case you do not understand. Haha so as promised, this is the update for our NCO Retreat Day3 which was held in Langkawi in early December '10. For Day 3, there aren't many photos compare to Day1 & 2 so this will be a very short update.
On the last day, we had to wake up super early because the church below us will have a mandarin service at 8.00am in the morning. So all of us got ready and packed our luggage and got into our car/van. We then went to the Duty-free complex again to buy more chocolates as souvenirs for our friends and family.
After that we proceed to another Duty-free complex near the Eagle Square. Some of us bought stuffs that they need, some bought food.
The view from the complex.
Then we went to the famous Pantai Cenang where there are alot of yatch for rent where you get to sail out to the sea for a spectacular view of Langkawi.
Then it was time for us to go to the airport. We reached the airport at about 11something and was told our flight was delayed to 2+pm. So all of us waited and waited. Some went and buy food (Our boys just can't resist foods. HAHA), some played the PSP that they brought for the trip, some slept, some went to Starbucks for free wi-fi service. And that's how we spend our time waiting and waiting for our flight.
Finally it was 2pm then we all walked to the boarding hall to wait for the call. Watched Mr Bean that was on the Television. We then heard our call. The air stewardess checked our boarding passes and we proceed to the plane. We practically had to walk to the plane, like those famous people who own private planes, where they have to walk to their plane. The wind was very strong and we had this I-am-a-famous-person-walking-to-my-own-private-plane moment and said Goodbye to Langkawi Island. Hahaha fun times.
Then we got on the plane, waiting for it to take off. While waiting, as usual the air stewardess would show us the safety precautions and how to use the safety jacket etc.
The plane then took it's own sweet time slowly moving it's way to the taking off lane.
I don't know how many turns this plane made. It kept turning and turning and turning and then it finally speed up and whossh! We're flying in the air now!
So long, Farewell,I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye Goodbye!
Then we reached Penang Island!
Both islands differ in their own unique way :DD
Then we got off the plane and walked to the main gate. Some went home by their own and some by our church vans.
On the way back to church!
It was a fun and enjoyable retreat all of us had. For most of our NCOs, this is probably their first Retreat. This trip sure got all of us closer to each other and get to know each other more. Want to know what our NCOs think about this retreat? Stay tuned for their reviews!

Boys' Brigade History
The first Boys' Brigade company was set up by Sir William Alexander Smith on 4 October, 1883, at Free Church Mission Hall, North Woodside Road, Glasgow, Scotland, to develop "Christian manliness" by the use of a semi-military discipline and order, gymnastics, summer camps, and religious services and classes.
In the years following the establishment of the 1st Glasgow company, others were rapidly formed throughout Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom leading to a movement comprising thousands of boys.
The Boys Brigade movement in Wales was founded by George Phillip Reynolds in 1887 at Havelock Sreet Presbyterian Church, Newport, Monmouthshire.
By the early 20th century there were about 2,200 companies connected with different churches throughout the United Kingdom, the British Empire, and the United States, with 10,000 officers and 160,000 boys.
Each company is normally affiliated to a battalion encompassing several nearby companies, which in turn are organized at a district and then national level, although in Scotland each company is attached to a local district, which is attached to a battalion.
Companies are named in the form "2nd Springfield", indicating the second company to have been established in or around Springfield; it should be noted that where companies have closed, numbers are not normally reallocated, so it is quite normal to find a "2nd" but no "1st" company.
Initally, a simple rosette was worn as an identifying uniform, shortly being replaced by the simple use of a belt, haversack, and pillbox cap (a popular military cap of the day) worn over the boys' everyday clothing.
The pillbox cap was used into the 1960s, long after it had fallen out of use in the British Army, when it was replaced with a field cap.
The movement also pioneered camping for leisure in Britain, previously rarely used outside the military. Early admirers of the Brigade included Robert Baden-Powell who as Vice President of the Boys' Brigade used it alongside initiatives in schools, particularly Eton, to promote the idea of scouting and outdoor pursuits based on those of the military for boys.
At the time, he did not originally intend that any individual organization would later arise from this aim in the form of the various Boy Scouts movements.
Early examples of Scouting were seen in Boys' Brigade Scouting awards and even specialised Boys' Brigade Scout sections who wore a blue uniform with shorts and the distinctive Smokey Bear hat traditionally identified with Scouts, and still worn today by drill sergeants in the United States Army.
However, nowadays there is a certain friendly rivalry between the two groups.
The Boys' Life Brigade was one of many similar movements formed by the Boys' Brigade's influence, sometimes along denominational or religious lines, including the Church Lads' Brigade, the Jewish Lads' Brigade, or the Catholic Boys' Brigade.
The merger also prompted the abandonment of dummy drill rifles that had been used in The Boys' Brigade, due to the Life Brigade's objection to use of weapons or their representations. For some time afterwards, the section covering members aged 8–12 years was known as Life Boys, before being restyled as the Junior section.
A popular hymn in the BB containing its motto and obvious reference to its emblem is "Will Your Anchor Hold" by Priscilla Owens, usually sung at displays and church services. Note, however, that this is not the official Boys' Brigade song. The official song for the Boy's Brigade is 'Underneath the banner'.

I had finally knew the Mahsuri’s story with details, hah cause I only know the story in blur case during primary time. Besides, the process is much more important than playing over there. All the fun we had together, is like, so many people lived in one house and have to wait for each other for the bathrooms, have lunch dinner, shopping together, hanging and playing around and so on. Super enjoyed for the trip , Thank God for providing us a blessed trip and guided us all along the way and, thanks to our 17th Penang Company :) Lastly, not forgetting to thanks David Sir and Jon Sir too for bringing us around the town and take care us.

At first, I want to thank 17th penang company for giving us this chance to Langkawi. I also wanted to thank Pastor Saw for being the driver like a tourist guide in Langkawi and took us to many wonderful places. And thank God for being with us all the time and kept us from the troubles and accidents, especially on the airplane. And God had also healed and be with Jayden when he was sick. At this trip, we went to all places of Langkawi. Although the places of tourism was not very interested but we all had enjoy all the time and I’m so appreciate the time that we spent together. We ate, enjoy, laugh and slept together. We also went to many shopping mall to buy chocolates, cause the chocolates there are cheaper and tax free. And I bought many chocolates for my family and friends. And we went to some natural places such as beaches and waterfall and we experienced the wonderful nature that God has created. The beach were clean and the water from the hill tops are cold and fresh. By the way, we went to a special beach that have black colour sands. Its so amazing.
Again. I wanted to say thank you to 17th penang for giving this opportunity to all NCO’s and thank all Sirs and madam for accompany us. And lastly I wanted to give all the praise and honour to our father in the heaven.

一个浮罗交怡的旅行，让我体会到住在槟城的幸福。怎么这么说呢？
因为浮罗交怡的食物啊，实在是不能跟槟城比，我们到那儿，找不到比槟城好要好吃的食物了。所以，住在槟城的弟兄姐妹们啊，要好好珍惜哦！
在2010年的12月假期里，我和男少年军第17分队的NCO和Office Sir 们一起到浮罗交怡旅行。我们坐飞机到那儿，这也是我第一次乘坐飞机去旅行。我非常的兴奋，第一次坐飞机的感觉非常的爽，又刺激。当天，我们还在飞机上面为Jonathan Sir 的孩子的太太庆祝他们的生日，非常热闹。
浮罗交怡的食物虽然没比槟城好吃，但那儿的空气，环境和道路都比槟城好。那儿的空气很新鲜，环境很好。在那儿，到处都可以看到花草树木。汽车的数量比较少，所以我们要去任何的地点都很快。
我很喜欢那边的风景，尤其是海边。写着，我又想起我们在海边一起拍的照片，一起玩水，一起享受这凉爽的海风。看啊～神所创造的美丽景色。
我们在那儿住在小宿舍。第一天晚上，我们一起吃宵夜——汉堡包。我们吃得汉堡包也算不错，很好吃，特别。第二晚也不例外，我们不是吃汉堡包，我们一起吃杯面。在我们的宿舍楼下有一间7-eleven，有些是自备的，有些在7-eleven买。在这个罗交怡的旅行里，我花了蛮多的钱，接近RM150。
我非常的开心有这个机会可以和我和男少年军第17分队的NCO和Office Sir 们一起参与这个旅程。我非常的感谢主赐给我这个机会，也要感谢少年军第17分队主办这个活动。Sir 说我们会有这个机会是因为我们的BB Month做的很好，所以在今年，我们也要做的更好。Labels: Reviews, Updates
Happy CNY '11
Wednesday, February 2 / 10:47 PM ?
Hello everyone! So Chinese New year 2011 is tomorrow ay? Counting down to collect red packets with great anxiety and joy. Going to church the next morning wearing your new bought CNY clothes hoping this year's Chinese New Year would be better than the previous ones. Visiting your relatives, talking and laughing about old times. Looking through old photos when you and your cousins are still in diapers. That's when all the bonding happens. Every year, no matter how busy you are, there will still be a day where you have to return to your parent's house for a lovely reunion dinner together. Not everyone has a family or a home to return to during CNY. Appreciate yours before its too late :)
Money can buy you something but it can't buy you everything.
Last but not least, we the 17th Penang Company wishes all of you a very
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 2011! Labels: Others, Updates
NCO Retreat Day 3
Saturday, January 1 / 8:13 PM ?
Bonjour all! It means Hello in French in case you do not understand. Haha so as promised, this is the update for our NCO Retreat Day3 which was held in Langkawi in early December '10. For Day 3, there aren't many photos compare to Day1 & 2 so this will be a very short update.
On the last day, we had to wake up super early because the church below us will have a mandarin service at 8.00am in the morning. So all of us got ready and packed our luggage and got into our car/van. We then went to the Duty-free complex again to buy more chocolates as souvenirs for our friends and family.
After that we proceed to another Duty-free complex near the Eagle Square. Some of us bought stuffs that they need, some bought food.
The view from the complex.
Then we went to the famous Pantai Cenang where there are alot of yatch for rent where you get to sail out to the sea for a spectacular view of Langkawi.
Then it was time for us to go to the airport. We reached the airport at about 11something and was told our flight was delayed to 2+pm. So all of us waited and waited. Some went and buy food (Our boys just can't resist foods. HAHA), some played the PSP that they brought for the trip, some slept, some went to Starbucks for free wi-fi service. And that's how we spend our time waiting and waiting for our flight.
Finally it was 2pm then we all walked to the boarding hall to wait for the call. Watched Mr Bean that was on the Television. We then heard our call. The air stewardess checked our boarding passes and we proceed to the plane. We practically had to walk to the plane, like those famous people who own private planes, where they have to walk to their plane. The wind was very strong and we had this I-am-a-famous-person-walking-to-my-own-private-plane moment and said Goodbye to Langkawi Island. Hahaha fun times.
Then we got on the plane, waiting for it to take off. While waiting, as usual the air stewardess would show us the safety precautions and how to use the safety jacket etc.
The plane then took it's own sweet time slowly moving it's way to the taking off lane.
I don't know how many turns this plane made. It kept turning and turning and turning and then it finally speed up and whossh! We're flying in the air now!
So long, Farewell,I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye Goodbye!
Then we reached Penang Island!
Both islands differ in their own unique way :DD
Then we got off the plane and walked to the main gate. Some went home by their own and some by our church vans.
On the way back to church!
It was a fun and enjoyable retreat all of us had. For most of our NCOs, this is probably their first Retreat. This trip sure got all of us closer to each other and get to know each other more. Want to know what our NCOs think about this retreat? Stay tuned for their reviews!
