New Year's Greeting :)

Happy New Year Dear Scouts! 2011 has gone by in a flash and now we have entered to a new endearing year, 2012. No I'm not talking about the apocalypse or earth's collision with a black hole predicted by the Mayan Civilization, but a new school year! Tackling major exams for some and new school syllabus for others. Not forgetting a new scouting year as well. Logbooks to write, badges to complete, test to pass, sports day marching to win, skills to learn and skin to get darker.

Are you prepared?

This is another year and opportunity to accomplish many many things. Do not regret not doing the things you've always wanted to do. There is no more time to waste, so start now. Make goals and a year's planning. Many of you will not understand the reason of doing the above latter. But trust me, you will, when you realised you have let a year go by and you are hesitant and seem to have choked on your tongue when someone asks you, what are your achievement in the year before? Are there things you did that you are proud of? What did you even do? Let me tell you this, frankly its the most suckiest feeling. Period. So for this year, no regrets! Want to pass Usaha? FINISH LOGBOOK. Dream to be a king scout? wake up and WORK! Nevertheless, always have fun, work hard and play hard. *Tepuk Pengakap*

Merdeka, Merdeka, Merdeka!

Are you proud to be a Malaysian? 

We sure are.

Every year, in conjunction of the Independence day celebration on the 31th August, it has always been a tradition for our troop to build a monumental gadget in school. Its not just big, but MASSIVE. Not just complicated, but COMPLEX. It represents unity, peace, harmony, and strength. Everything Malaysia stands for. This was a significant project and it had to be perfect so planning was key. Not only because it was for Independence day, but it will also showcase the skill and quality of 73rd Petaling scouts. After weeks of brainstorming and researching for ideas, the Form 5 seniors were able to come down to an agreement with a gadget plan. And the inspiration was the Kuala Lumpur Tower.

Drum role please. I now present you, 73rd Petaling's Merdeka Tower of 2011 ..

WAHHHH,YAY *claps*

It took approximately 5 days to complete the Merdeka Gadget, and less than 4 hours to completely demolish it (I was in the brink of tears). The gadget stood about 2.5 stories high and 4 meters wide. Have you ever seen anything so beautiful? Wait just one more!

(i am not allowed to express my unhappiness here but, NO FAIR I AM NOT IN THE PICTURE)

We couldn't have pulled it off without the guidance of the scouters. And I would like to sincerely thank everyone one of the seniors for their co-operation and efforts. Love you guys!
