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。


Lance Corporal Lee Su Keat said;

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．

Corporal Chin Wen Huey;


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。

Recruitment Camp reviews; Post 3
Monday, November 29 / 12:48 AM ?

I Guess that's ALL for the reviews for our X-Army Recruitment Camp. NO wait! There's Still ONE Last Post. Yes, the Third Post which is the review from our X-Army Recruitment Camp's very own Chairman!

THIRD POST; Chairman

Sergeant Teh Wei Huai said; -


 嗨，大家好，还记的营长吗？伟怀啊，那个胖胖的，你们好吗？好想念你们啊，有空来宝石社区关怀中心来坐坐，我经常都会在那边。话说回来，关于这一次的营会，谢谢您们让我有学习的机会，因为是我第一次举办对外的活动。透过这个活动我真的学习很多了，希望你们也在营会来都有所得着。这个营会筹备了很久，在去年就已经决定要举办了这个招募营，当然这是一个突破，因为我们很久没有举办了。这个营会最主要的目的是要招收更多的会员到我们的分队来接受装备及接受挑战来面对这个E时代。当然，我们也希望透过营会可以提升自己潜在的能力。这一次营会的主题是全副军装，还记得有什么吗？束腰代表正理；护心镜代表公义；鞋子代表福音；藤牌代表信德；头盔代表救恩；圣灵的宝剑。我相信大家都还有印象吧经过David Sir两天精彩的讲解。




身为营长的我对这个营会可以说是尽力的搞好这个活动，虽然我知道还是有很多不是很好的地方，但是蒙大家的大人大量让这个营会可以完成的。营会里，真爱过，才会懂，懂得如何彼此珍惜对方。当然我希望这个不只是在营会里，也是在日常生活里，珍惜所有人。


我在想，大家回来营会都是因为看到有很多的游戏如寻宝游戏，站游戏，War Game，Map Oriental，Tent Pitching，BlindFold和其他。当然当我们在策划这些游戏时，不只是要大家玩，也要大家学习。在寻宝游戏和站游戏，希望大家能够学习沟通和发挥潜在的团结精神来完成所有的活动。War Game 呢，看起来好像没有什么，其实就是要你们学会策划，记得我们在最后时间把你们的组长抽出来吗？目的就是要让你们晓得如何策划而不要依靠别人。大家最下都10岁，是成长过程中主要之一。Blind Fold 游戏本身要带出讯息比较明显吧?就像要让你们知道什么才是正理，你必须靠着正理才能够到达目的地，要成功没有捷径，只有靠着对的东西，如宗教。


在Tent Pitching里，我们可以看到视乎很简单，但是当你自己去做的时候，你就体会他的难度了。如果你有参与应该知道吧=），至于Map Oriental是教导一些技术。


虽然营会只是短短的几天，但是天下无不散之筵席，但是我也希望大家能够继续联络。如果要我的MSN可以和我讨啊。当然我们17分队还会继续组办很多的活动给大家，一定要参与我们哦！

Well thats' all! Follow our blog OR facebook profile for furtherr interesting activities!

Recruitment Camp reviews; Post 2
Saturday, November 20 / 10:06 PM ?

Hello readers! Have you check out our Lance corporal's reviews in the first post? If you haven't, it's on the sidebar. Well this is another update, which is the second post.

SECOND POST; CORPORALS and SQUAD LEADERS

Corporal Bernice Tan said;-

First, I would like to thank every single one who has contributed to this camp including the campers, without of them; this recruitment camp would not be successful. THANK YOU. I myself have also learned a lot from this camp. Like the idiom ‘Two heads is better than one’, which means when two people work together more things get accomplished. In Boys’ Brigade, there is no such thing as an ‘I’ but a ‘We’. No one should be handling projects by themselves, but one also needs another person in order to make the project successful. Whereas this camp, helped me to understand the real meaning of teamwork. Not just that, I have also learn not to look down at people who are younger than we are. In this camp, most of the campers are aged 10 to 15 who are younger than I am. It is amazing how much a 10 year old can contribute to his/her team in the camp. This can be found in bible; do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 1Timothy 4:12


Corporal Chin Wen Huey said;-

感谢主～　这次的营会能成功的举行。用和平彼此联络，竭力保守圣灵所赐合而为一的心。（以弗所书4:3）谢谢一班愿意委身的小队长们和一班尊敬的军官们。同样的也谢谢数位弟兄姐妹愿意抽空他们的时间来到营会，来帮助我们。这里也要谢谢我们教会的弟兄姐妹在禁食祷告里面，一直为我们和我们的营会来祷告。这次的营会，我是以不同的心情来参加这次的营会，因为我不再是参与者，而是营会的委员。谢谢我们的伟怀，为我们策划了这个营会。这次的营会，让我在当中学习很多不同的功课。
透过这次的营会，让我学习到了去更爱这班的小朋友和青少年们。同样的也让我学习到如何设计及安排一本营会手册。手册在营会里，是一本非常重要的书，因为里面含有各组的名单，敬拜赞美诗歌，每一天的灵修材料和营会的地图。在这我要谢谢健贤在设计及安排手册里，他也帮了我许多忙。当我忙得不知所错，他就是我最好的帮助。谢谢委员们和军官们彼此搭配，还能让这次的营会，如此的精彩。

 Lance Corporal Cheah Yixian said;-

这次的营会让我学习到了很多，我面对了我人生中很多的‘第一次’。第一次自己煮饭，第一次炒菜，第一次洗世界上最难洗的锅，等等. 营会第一天时，要自己准备午餐，可是我根本不会，就想这次一定糟糕了，但是幸亏我的其中一位组员会煮，所以就给她煮咯，可是3个字—不成功。只好对不起组员让他们吃有烧焦味的饭，我就负责看有什么菜就倒下去炒了，管他好不好吃。可是他们还是吃得津津有味，可能是肚子太饿吧。洗锅的时候洗到…-.- 。所以啊，洗烧焦的锅不容易啊。我的组有一位印度人啊，沟通方面就有点问题了。可是一切都很好。可怜很多人被很多很多的蚊子叮，可以说那里的蚊子就像一年没吃东西了。


在第二天station games时，大多数的station都是要合作精神的，全员们都很全力以赴地玩，我们也玩得很开心。输或赢不要紧，最总要的是过程。然后就到了我最不喜欢的—爬山! 上山之前我一再地提醒他们怎样都不可以把鸡蛋给人。走着的时候有点怕因为第一次带人上去，路途中一直休息，不是组员们累，而是我累。可怜他们要一直等我，人老了就是这样的。所有的组回来后，鸡蛋都被骗了，只有我们没有被骗，因为我去过meeting,所以我知道了细节。哈哈聪明吧。中午就是让人很怕的map oriental。因为营长他形容到很怕那样。其实还不错啦，只是组员们都累了走路就慢慢吞吞的。也在当中学了很多东西如怎样用指南针，谁的贝登堡啊。一路跟着指示去找全副军装。晚上的时候我们有全副军装，就用我们下午所找到的东西拿来穿在一个人身上。组员们就用报纸这里黏那里也黏，很好笑。过后突然营长很serious,叫我们安静然后就蒙上每个人的眼睛，我怕到…根本看不到任何的东西，只有一条绳子，就这样慢慢地走走到终点。路途中会有很多挫折，所以这游戏让我们学会了如果没有神，我们什么都不能做。啊，就这样第二天结束了。半夜不想睡就坐在HQ守夜，其他组的组长也很热心地陪我一起守。守到了两点多我不能tahan了，就去睡了，接下来发生什么事我就不清楚了。

最后一天了，颁奖典礼，当然全部人都很开心。过后就是要离别了。可以讲很多人哭到很可怜，在一起相处毕竟都有3天了，自然会有感情。就这样，营会结束了。很开心，很感谢神一切都进行得很顺利，也让我们彼此都能够相处到很好。也感谢所有为营会付出的人尤其是周队长和玮怀营长。就期待下一次的营会吧！

 Private Aaron Khaw said;-
First of all, shalom to everyone, may God be with you. X-Army Camp last for 3 days and 2 nights. It was a fun, interesting and exciting camp. I enjoyed this camp very much and learnt many things that are useful in life. For example, I learnt how to become a good leader that can lead a good team. Learning leadership is very important to me as I maybe a future leader in this country. Further more, I learnt about sharing with each other which I did not done that before participating the camp. Well, “no pain, no gain”, being a leader is very difficult and disgusting, you need to serve your team members well. You need to show good examples that can glorified God. With those qualities, they will gradually believe that God is real and He is the savior of all. Besides, I learnt how to take care of myself when my parents are gone ( back to heaven). This was really, extremely important as we will one day grow up and face difficulties. We will need to solve it ourselves without the help of our parents. Well, I guess it is the time we said goodbye, I am stopping here right now. I am looking forward to the camp next year. Make It More Interesting and Exciting! And finally GOD BLESS YOU!

Private Jackson Tan said;-

I'm so happy during this camp,i also make a lot friend over there.At there I learn a lot of thing,like teamwork,how to see a compass and many!I miss all my friend after this camp.I very love this camp,and hope next time can be excited!



Stay tuned to our very last post if you want to know what the squad leaders say and Chairman of this camp feels!

Recruitment Camp reviews; Post 1
Monday, November 15 / 8:51 PM ?

Hello hello people! As all of you all know, in September, our company organised the X-Army Recruitment Camp. So we've collected reviews from the committee members to the sqaud leaders. The reviews will be divided into 3 posts.
First post: Lance Coporals
Second post: Coporals
Third post: Squad leaders & Chairman

FIRST POST; Lance Coporals

Lance Coporal Goh He Mi said;-

In September 9, 2010, I participated in a camp sponsored by 17th Penang Boys Brigade of three days and two nights camp. In this camp, I was a camp helper.In this camp, I learned many things. Must do their own thing, must have a sense of responsibility. In addition, there are many in this camp will be fourth and fifth graders to participate. Therefore, we must communicate more with them to better understand them.
I think that, although the camp will be very hard but also very tired, but we must persevere. We spent a lot of those campers the difficulties faced with the problem, but also we had a good time. In this camp, everyone can learn together, such as cooperation. We also play games.I also learned a lesson, how good a team to lead and learn how to overcome difficulties. We still know a lot of friends.If you have a chance, I will again participate in such a similar camp.

Lance Coporal How Gen Shen said ;-

首先，我要把一切荣耀与尊贵归给我们的全能神，因着上帝的保守和看顾，这个营会才能顺利进行及与圆满地结束。除此之外，40个营员也是神预备给我们的恩典。 虽然这次的营会相当成功，但还是有一些需改进的地方。第一：我觉得营会活动的时间并不能根据时间表的时间准时完成，这一点须再按排妥当。第二：station game不是每一个都好玩，有些营员到我的station都向我埋怨很闷。Station game 应该刺激点。第三：toilet应加强保安，例如：墙壁可以建高一点。最后，感谢一切帮助筹划及协助这营会的工作人员，尤其营长。也感谢主，阿门。

Lance Coporal Jacky Tan said;-

Although this is my first time to cook for so many campers and committee to eat but I still feel very happy although it is very tired but I learnt alot of things through it. I learn how to communicate with all the campers and learn to be patient while teaching them how to cook. Haha,because I know some of them really don't have idea on cooking. But,at last. .they had improved. .thanks God although I lost my voice during the camp,but I still very happy. and I know that friends are really important for all of us. .like on the first day of camp,I sicked already. but thanks God he gave me a lots of friends that care and concern for me. .so that I can recover very fast :D
Hope you all wont forget this memorable camp =)

Lance Coporal Lee Su Keat said;-

在这里我想感谢主办单位安排我在清洁和音响方面。因为这是我的专长，在家里我有时常帮忙妈妈做家务；而音响方面我曾在教会被训练过。我本身觉得在搬东西去的时候和搬东西会的时候是最辛苦的，因为音响系统是有很多的，还有其他的乐器等等，而我们去到那儿有不知道哪一个是我们的礼堂，而搬来搬去花了很多力气和时间，是最累的。然而在一切处理之后就很轻松了。=D我想说的是借着这三天两夜里面我们和营员都享受在大自然的怀抱里。这一切都是上帝所赐给我们的。在我心目中所有的营员都是最好的，因为你们给我看到你们团结和合作的一面。在此我要向他家说一句对不起，因为我知道我在营会里做的不是很好，希望大家原谅我，因为我还是在学习中。:)我也要谢谢你们让我回到我的童年。XD我在此谢谢所有对应会有贡献的人哪怕只是一个简单的一句还是一个微笑都是给予我们很大的鼓励。谢谢你们。


That's all. STAY TUNED to our blog for the 2nd and 3rd post if you want to read reviews from the squad leaders and the Chairman of the X-Army Recruitment Camp! Don't miss it (:

Member's reviews on NTS
Wednesday, March 24 / 11:16 PM ?

BNTS participants' reviews

Private Aaron Khaw stated- 在这个3天2夜的BNTS营会里学会了如何做小队长.3月13日,我们从宝石教会出发到SMK Teluk Bahang ,九时正就到那里了.在营会里,学习的东西有很多如先锋,会议,演讲等.除了学习,我们还操步及受处罚.今年的Starjumps比去年还少可是我还是跳得有气无力的.我学到要有自律和纪律.在96人当中,要在5分钟里,没人的桌上还有一盘饭,不然就是被处罚了.在这个营会里,我结交了不少的朋友.最重要的是,神每时每刻都在我身边.在我遇到困难的时候,神都会帮助我.他赐我力量使我继续下去.在3月15日下午5时我们就乘坐教会的Van,然后就回去了.

Private Jackson Tan said-在BNTS里，我学习到很多东西，例如：每一位少年军队员都是先锋，领袖-品格第一，沟通，优良果效会议，策划，演说和表达等等。还知道卫廉亚力山大史密夫在小时候被训练得很严格。

Private Cheah Yixian said- I heard from alot people that BNTS is a quite suffer training camp. After I went, i agreed with them, it was suffered but very fun. I get to know alot new friends from different schools, different companies and even my own school peoples. The camp trained us to be more independence , be more responsible and learnt about leadership. The best part that i feel was the practical 2 although we get dirty and wet during that :)

ANTS participants' reviews

Lance Corporal Jacky Tan said- After I went for ANTS, Had learnt many things from there. There is one most important thing that I had learnt at ANTS is the SMART-A. S for Specific, M for Measurable, A for Achievable, R for Relevant, T for Timetabled and A for Agreed. I think as a leader,we must have our own target. Of course, our target cannot too far away from our real life. So, we must apply SMART-A into our target. Although I had failed my ANTS, but I'll not give up so easily. Because my aim is to pass on this year. So I'll start to plan and set my target so that I can pass ANTS for sure~~~

Lance Corporal Bernice Tan stated- To me, weeks before I was already ready for ANTS, I've packed everything ready and practised my star jumps. When it's the first day of the training camp, I was very excited and couldn't wait to arrive there at the venue. The first day was okay, met a lot of new amazing friends and officers of course. Second day was pure torture. We ran 100 rounds on the football field but not just that, we still have 4000++ star jumps to finish. Fortunately, we as a team managed to negotiate from 4000++ star jumps to 500star jumps. Awesome ay? Like what Captain Loh Pau Joo said those aren't punishments, they are "extra activities". Well I pretty much enjoyed during our "extra activities"session. I still remember all of us were so exhausted and sleepy while waiting for others to negotiate with Captain Loh, so some fell asleep on the padang kawat including me. I was so sleepy until I felt flat on the tar road. Sure people behind me was laughing out loud but I was too blur to even realise I fell down. The third day was the happiest and somehow saddest day of the camp one, because we're going home! two, because we're gonna miss each other A LOT. Well it's all over now oh thank God. Now that I think back, I wished I could stay there longer.I really miss all those insanely awesome people I met there. Lord, thank You for everything that you've planned for me♥

Sergeant Teh Wei Huai stated- 感谢主，让我能够有机会当上BNTS的Helper。我都相信这一切不是偶然，是上帝安排我人生必经之路。这个营会可以说是满轻松的，因为大部分的工作都在早期准备好了。整个营会就从12/3晚上开始说起吧。所有男性的Helper都强逼性必须提早到营地整理整个场所，及进行最后一次的简报。一开始我们都被分配到不同的工作岗位上，当然整个团队里有一些人是比较懒散的，当然不愿意听从指示。说实在，整个团队真的像是一盘的散沙，你根本不可能相信这一对的人是领袖。就在叫我们清理每一个宿舍，搬动床单，分发及整理营会物件之时，我们也开始埋怨了每一个不同的部门，给与负面的意见及批评。当然，我本身也感到非常惊讶，实在是很难相信这一群人会做出这一些举动，而我选择冷静及闭嘴，因为我知道如果给于更多的意见将会带来更多的问题及没有必要的伤害。那一天，我们就做到凌晨4时才休息。隔一天，7时就必须起床及完成尚未完成的工作。那天即营会的第一天13/3，整个气氛也比较好，也许昨晚大家太累吧，今天的他们迅眼间成熟了。所以在整个的答配上开始改进，领袖也开始起来带领整个的团队。还记得，我负责了开幕典礼，真的是我的第一次，虽然没有什么特别的感想，但是感谢主，因为我没有晕倒，那天有够热吧（那些有在都知道吧？）尤其像我们这样多徽章的，哈哈，更加重。（所以你们不要考太多徽章啦。）没多久，就是上课了，那堂课是在教导有关前锋的特征，如先锋是一位非常积极、委身于自己工作的人，先锋是一位善于管理时间与事务的人、先锋是一位非常警觉及敏锐于周遭所发生的事情的人，等等的风范。当然我也有学习不少，印象最深刻的可以说是先锋是一位善于管理时间与事务的人，大家当人很奇怪说为什么我会如此的记得。原因是因为在那一天的午餐，可以说是吓死人吧？哈哈，发生什么事就不说了，这样对那些有去的才有保留一点点地神秘感。没多久他们又回到自己的可是上了Planning这一个课程，如果我没有记错，他们用了神造这个世界为学习典范，当然这是全世界最成功的计划，神很有计划性的把这个世界建造起来。我也记得当中的一句话如果你没有计划,那你就是计划去失败，由Zig Ziglar指出。当我听见这个时，就推动了我继续听的动力，我也在当中学习及温习，一项计划是要有目标和目的（Purpose And Objective）过后就必须开始组织及监督和检讨。过后就使进行了小组的讨论，策划一项活动，当然大家都很积极的参与及给于意见，但是他们的计划始终被拒绝，原因是因为计划得不够周详，及不切实际。他们准备了很多活动如水上探险，寻宝，及一系列的活动，但是他们把它列为免费的活动，此项计划分队必须付出一大笔的钱来支持这项活动。问题来了，所以我们就必须解决，怎么解决呢？重新计划咯，就从POSE开始说起了，P-planning，O-organizing，S-Supervising，E-Evaluation。教练也给于专业的指导及意见来帮助他们。就这样半天过去了。过了没多久应该是步操的他们，尽然被取消了，应该感到高兴还是悲哀呢？哈哈，因为换成惩罚时间，累积了他们所做错的惩罚在这个时刻一次偿还。看了还蛮心疼，虽然看起来都像是我给于的惩罚，其实是军官委托与我完成（我是无辜的T_T）。就这样时间过去了，他们回房间休息及洗澡，没多久又是刺激的吃饭时间。哈哈，当然他们达不到预计的时间，也没有遵守应当的规则。当然，从他们的眼神也看得出他们那忐忑不安的心情，就像不知道几时又再有暴风雨了。过后就是优良果效会议的课程，当然我本身很看重这一个，如果你是有出席军士官会议的，应该知道伟怀是多么的注重会议的果效，因为在会议上是用大家的时间而不是你和我的时间，如果说了5分钟的废话，10个人听了就浪费了50分钟。课程上只是学习一些基本的概念如会议的目的，会议的两大种类，成功会议的议程及等等。希望大家都能够听出耳由，并运用在自己的生活上。第一天就这样的圆满结束，当然在睡觉前，他们还是有步操，因为下午的被取消了。没多久就是我们的检讨及简报会，一切都结束在凌晨2时，当Helper真不容易，不是你们想象中的那么轻松。隔一天，早上6时半就起身了，一系列的活动又再开始了，一开始是早操，早餐，洗澡，过后是主日崇拜了，由我们亲爱的传道来分享，当然她分享的都是重点，但是对我来说都不重要，为什么呢？在听了她的见证，真的不再重要了，我在想，我是否能够像她一样的那么坚强的面对生活。真的，心里的感触并非我能够形容，而是敬佩她的意志，感谢主常于她同在，也求神继续保守她的见证。回应祷告也看见有一些人愿意认罪和立志。真的是感谢主，因为如圣经所言，在地上一人得救，天上的天使天军都为之欢呼，愿一切荣耀归于神。休息没多久后，就是上课了，而这一堂课学习的是Character，品格，听起来好像有很多东西像分享但是又不知道从哪里开始，你们认为应该怎样呢？Err，我就分享其中一个吧，品格和领导才能，为什么我们要有好的品格呢？因为品格能够造就信任；信任使得领导成为可能！就是这个原因！什么是信任?信任是指那人确实可依靠,能干, 有实力或忠诚.什么是领导才能?领导才能是指具有影响力.跟随者会如何回应领袖的影响？要知道行事为人会渐渐成为我们的习惯,而在某程度上习惯又会塑造/表现我们的品格,而最终品格会改变我们的人生。应该明白了吧？休息没有多久，就是午餐，过后就是学习沟通的时候，沟通的基础是由彼此的信任、尊敬和了解而建立的。所以，要在他们当中然他们彼此的信任和了解就必须让他们先认识自己和周围的人，就给他们开始玩游戏和给于不同的指导。很快的时间也过了，我也相信他们有所得着。没多久又是惩罚的时候，哈哈真的很可怜他们，但是这是训练营会，无法避免的吧。有时候还蛮庆幸自己不是营员。又再是照常的时间，洗澡，晚餐，上课，这一堂是营会的最后一堂课，学习Presentation，是他们随时随刻都必须用的，而我也有学习这一堂课，有10个重点，谁能够列出，我就给说他厉害xD,我能！！就这样整个课程结束了，而象征了这些128位学员即将成为领袖了，加油吧！劳累了那么久，当然是要有一些比较享受的活动，就是游戏！！哈哈，策划的War Game也让他们玩得非常激动，尤其是攻打Helper的时候，可能我们比较好欺负，还是那是他们唯一一次可以欺负我们的时候。那时也接近凌晨2时了吧，经过我们的检讨和简报，也快凌晨3时了。在事先讨论后，我们决定在凌晨3时30分来一个突击的制服检查当然他们都搓手不及，甚至很多人迟到及没有办法将制服最好一面表现出来。检查后，就是步操了。当然很辛苦，大家都很累，很爱睡，但是我们所做的希望能够给于他们美好的回忆。步操到凌晨5时，才让他们回去休息。隔一天，就让他们8时吃早餐，没多久是游戏时间了，不同方面的游戏也让他们不同方面成长，如少年军所学的4方面成长。过后就是闭幕典礼，由于我的声带破了，就由其他的军士官来代替，而我成为了翻译员。这一些过后就是另一个的游戏，也象征整个营会的句点。一系列的种种游戏，希望能够为他们标上一个完美的句点，因为大家都知道营会后不知几时再相见。总的来说，付出了那么多，当然希望他们能够学习如何成为一个领袖。当然我感谢主和队长，Jonathan Sir给于我这个机会到那边向他们学习，盼望明年我还有机会再到那一个地方，继续的学习，为主发光发亮。阿门!
