Girl Scout

Buat Habis Baik!

Scouts are organised into units/troops averaging 20-30 girls/boys under guidance of a team of leaders. Units subdivide into patrols of about six Scouts and engage in outdoor and special interest activities. Wikipedia

I had never been a scout before when I was in school. So when I was in college, I became a girl scout. Funny, without knowing me, the scout master chose me as the treasurer and a patrol leader.

Accepted the challenge, I was a dedicated treasurer so much so that when the members saw me coming, they would run away. But I always got hold of them and made them pay for the monthly fees.

Being a patrol leader was very challenging. I need to make sure that my patrol was always active and responsible. We even had a cooking competition and we got second.

We had to go for camps which we enjoyed very much. We learnt to build camps with proper knots, march, sing and play lots of games too.

The best part was the camp fire. Every patrol had to perform. I remembered my patrol presented a dikir barat. Very funny yet fun.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
