open letter to the drill competition girls

2009-03-11T10:19:00.000-07:00

dear girls,

sorry that i lost my cool at you all today. it's just that i expected more out of you all based on the amount of practices i knew all of you have put in. it's just that the result doesn't equate to the amount of effort and sacrifices you've put in. nonetheless, it still doesn't justify my blasting at all of you. so i am sorry.

i believe that you have given your best. so i just hope that all of have fun and enjoy yourselves during the competition. whether we win anything or not, it doesn't matter. as long as you have given your best. that's all that matters.

thank you for your commitment to practices. i understand that practices have not been easy. i am sorry that i can't be there with you throughout the whole process. but i am grateful to all of your sacrifices and hardwork. thank you for your can-do attitudes.

relax. suck in your tummy. lock your arms. you girls can do it! you have put in too much effort to waste them all. so just go ahead and give it all out okay?

all the best for saturday. drink plenty of water in the meantime. look smart. and no matter what happens, know that we are still very proud of you girls. jia you!

love,

regina.

after viewing all the photos

what do you think?:D

mdm joy: Pls put a note to them saying ,all of them should follow Irene's saluting. Her's was the best. but of course not while eyes closed. as for their own photos. the "good ones are just a brief look. as i had time constraints i can't really perfect each of their salutes. So they should closely folLow Irene's instead of their own"good" photos.

Post Encounter Schedule

2008-11-20T01:39:00.000-08:00

Heyy girls, those who are supposed to go for PE, this is the schedule. Please take note. =)

I hope you guys will not see this as an obligation, or merely a prerequisite to collect your badges, but truly as an opportunity to get to know God better, and even your fellow sister and brothers in Christ as well. I believe, even as you discipline yourself to go down, that you will learn many wonderful lessons in life. Even as you choose to honour God, know that He too will honour you exceedingly. Even for those who are non-Christians, there are many valuable lessons in the Christian teaching that will bring you far in life, and perhaps help you sort out some of the emotional or practical issues you're facing now..so be excited about it and encourage each other along ya!

GB Parade/Camp

2008-10-18T10:43:00.001-07:00

Dear girls,

In view of the changing school schedule, we have decided to change parade next week to Thursday, 23rd October. Please take responsibility for yourselves and make your way there, even as the officers have already tried to accomodate you despite our busy schedules. You are the ones who are getting CCA points for this. Not us. I do not want to receive any more smses telling me you have headache/cramps/whatever. Enough is enough. GB is NOT a place you can come and go as you wish. If you are not present, i expect to see a valid M/C or parent's letter. We will talk more about this again.

Firstly, Project Superfoot and DRILL COMPETITION is coming up soon. You need to practice in order to not throw face. Secondly, we are lagging behind in our badgeworks. Thirdly, the past 2 parades are not considered valid parades because the attendance is insufficient to meet GBHQ criteria.

I know exams are over, and you did not have school the last parade. That is not an excuse. Your officers come down irregardless of our busy schedules, whether it be our jobs, projects, exams. Not just that, but we spend time preparing things to teach you all, claiming badges for you all, etc etc. All you have to do is to come and listen, and you get your badges. Do you even appreciate what your officers and teachers are doing for you?

If you all know me, i hardly ever get angry at you. I do not like to scold people. But this time you've taken it too far. That being said, i still believe that you are all nice girls and that in time to come, you will learn to be responsible, not just in your CCA but in your lives.

Lastly, GB Camp has been altered to be on the 19th and 20th December. We will be camping at Bukit View, but travelling to the East for our activities. There will be BBQ at East Coast on the 19th, and a Christmas party combined with others (those you met during Teens Excite) on the 20th, after which you will break camp.

I hope that you will not disappoint us again next week.

I have removed to the chatbox, because some immature people think that leaving nasty anonymous comments on the chatbox is a fun thing to do.

I don't know if it's done by a gb girl or someone else, I wouldn't know. But I'm sorry if the rest of you all can't use the chatbox due to what some people have done.

From now on, leave comments on the posts itself. But you have to be registered users in the first place, because I am also not allowing anonymous users to comment.

- Madam Yvonne.

Hello girls!!

I know now it's the study break so hope you all aren't missing having GB, haha. Anyway here is THE picture of Injin leading her first devotion, and pastor even thought she did a really good job!

We will really miss the sec 4s who are leaving us already, but let us pray and hope that they will come back and help out ya? You sec 1s, 2s and 3s...go and bug the sec4s to come back k?? (Especially that *ahem* company *ahem* head...she very soft hearted one...) I think you all ask will be much more effective than the mdms asking haha.

We will be finally saying byebye to the sec 4s this coming May camp...so you all MUST come hor. Whatever holiday, tuition please PLEASE PLEASE try and rearrange them. (May I remind that camp attendance is also a part of promotional criteria).

Do look forward to the coming may camp, it's going to be reaaaallly fun.

SUPERFOOT

2007-04-03T11:34:00.000-07:00

Hello girls!

I guess last Friday parade was sorta messy, with Superfoot and phototaking and all, but hopefully you all enjoyed yourselves. =)

The Winning Team!

The mdms thought that you girls put in alot of effort and we're really proud of you, we could see drastic improvements to all of your drills (wah, we should have this more often). Especially the sec 2s, we all thought that Injin put alot of effort into teaching them new commands, but we are definitely stricter with you guys coz after all the sec 2s have been doing drills a year more than the sec 1s.

The main aim of this is to help you girls improve your drills, so if you feel that your drill has improved then....CONGRATS! you are a WINNER!

Besides that, we had Clare who shared word with us for the first time. Hoot hoot! Great job!

Also, surprisingly, Amelia stepped up and taught drills to the sec 1s! Really proud of you girl~ We all can play our part in GB no matter who we are, every girl a leader yeah?

ORH!! Don't even know ke kiri or ke kenan.

Ok, Happy Good Friday! Anyway would any of you girls like to go cycling with the mdms at ECP this friday?? Come lah, hang out with us? Confirm sure have fun, we are all very fun people. =)

Come k...come lah.

Drill Competition 2007

2007-03-26T09:56:00.000-07:00

okay... this was the creative drills competition on the 24th of March... I thought our team did well... hmm... even though we didn't win anything, I still felt that because you all did your best, that's all that matters... thank you for your hardwork dear girls... you girls are awesome...

now... i think we can look ahead to drills that would be more fun... gonna teach finish the stage 2 drills soon... and hopefully, the next time around when i get a drill instructor down for drill assessment, you all (except the sec 1s) will be able to attain the drill stage 1 badge... before that, the next challenge would first be Project SuperFoot... let's see who would win the title of SuperFoot... work hard now... =)

and here are some photos we took after the competition...

superfeet!

2007-03-26T00:33:00.000-07:00

Hello girls! How have you all been practising for Superfoot? Hereby I shall announce to GRAND PRIZE for the winners of the competition.

*Drum roll*

It's a $30 sakae sushi voucher, for the team of girls - seniors + pioneers. Hehehe....shiok right.

Anyway I'm really sorry to say that I've accidentally deleted the video recording of the standard drill competition, but Mdm Regina had kindly taken down the creative drill competition so she will be posting it up soon.

BUT no worries, I took a photo of the drill contingent.

Very nice right? Very proud of you girls and the effort that you all put in! Let us appreciate Mdm Regina for organising this event too! I've seen her sacrifice her time just to plan all the practice, worry about the small things, going for the practice when only a few girls turn up...it's not easy to plan such a big event ya?

Even though we only got a certificate of participation, but it's ok! It's our first time joining such a competition and there will be many more times and many more chances for us to win GOLD! =)

Let's make 46th coy a company well known for disciplined girls with excellent drills~

Oh anyway I found some old pictures rotting in my computer. Taken 2 or 3 years ago at some national event, which I forgot.

Wah, look at Eetiean, Injin and Charmaine...they were all so young and cute then...haha..

disciplining

2007-03-14T03:05:00.000-07:00

What do you girls think of when you hear the word "discipline"?

Do you think of your headmaster and his fierce face confronting you when you did something wrong? Do you dislike the word because it's not a good word?

I used to think that disciplining someone always means something bad, like being scolded or beaten.

But I changed my mind when the Bible actually tells us that disciplining someone is done out of love. From Hebrews 12:6 we can read,

"because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son."

I realised that when one disciplines it's done out of love and concern for the person, hoping that he or she will change and grow to be a better person. Someone who closes one eye to your mistakes and do not correct you won't help you to grow as a person. Think about it, it takes more effort to confront a person rather than keeping quiet and pretending nothing has happened, am I right?

So when the madams correct you, it's done out of love. Hope you all understand that and if you show that you are willing to change, it won't lessen our opinions about you. We all learn from mistakes, don't we? =)

I know you all are having holidays now, enjoy your break! Play hard but also work hard k? All the best for Superfoot and Drill Competition!!

46th coy rox!

Round and round they go.

2007-03-03T08:24:00.000-08:00

We had fun on friday didn't we? Haha too bad for the sec 3s and 4s who couldn't join us.

Samantha and Abigail playing a game where they have to grab the toilet paper hanging from the other person's back. The end result? A twirling dance between the 2 of them. Haha.

Samantha won in the end!! But well done Abigail~ =)

To all girls

2007-02-28T09:51:00.000-08:00

Dear GB girls from 46th Coy,

The reason why I set up this blog was to draw us closer together as a family. I had sincerely thought that you all (yes, every single one of you) are mature girls but apparently I was too naive.

Please stop leaving negative comments because if I continue to see hateful comments targeted at anyone I will remove the comment sections. Or close down the blog. (I had already deleted the bad comments)

Or if you really have any displeasure against anyone, do feel free to approach your mdms.

No one is perfect, obviously we all offend each other once in a while. How would you feel if today you see people writing negative things about you?

Please spare a thought for the others because that is a form of loving each other.

I will still continue to trust that you all are still my lovely GB girls.

-Mdm Yvonne.

GB drills led by the girls!!

2007-02-23T12:37:00.000-08:00

Project Superfoot.

Best sec 1 and 2 footwork displayed will win a BIG BIG prize.

So does the pioneer girl who trains them.

30 March 2007 - A showdown awaits.

word of God (live)

2007-02-23T11:55:00.000-08:00

Xiaofen sharing a word on fruit of the spirit in Gal 5:22. Audio is kinda bad coz I think I blocked the mic with my fingers towards the end. Well, nevermind! Moving images is a great leap towards being IT savvy.

Mdm Yvonne is a genius. Took her 2 hours to get this video up.

stepping out in faith

2007-02-06T02:05:00.000-08:00

Last friday we appointed Xiaofen to share a word with the company. We all thought she did a marvelous job!

Indeed, sometimes we might feel that we are not good enough to do certain things (be it in studies or anything else) but God doesn't look for people with abilities, He looks for people who put their faith in Him. And when we do that, He will never let us down.

Which is exactly what she shared isn't it? =)

cookie baking girls

2007-02-04T20:53:00.000-08:00

Here are some of the action that went on pre-Recruitment! We had so much fun baking cookies and eating chao-ta cookies...actually most of cookies were eaten by the mdms...because Samantha said that she "don't want to eat cause she knew what was in the cookies". Eek.

Outside the kitchen - Nellwyn and Injin in action.

Eetiean in deep concentration, making the vouchers

Can you see? The shape of the cookie is 46! Go 46th coy~

Aiyo. Who took this picture? But I can see it's Hwee Fen, Jieying and Samantha!

I wonder if they have washed their hands....
