The P3s received their Green award badges. The Boys put in their best effort in performing the drill to receive an award. Though not perfect by any means it was a good start and serious effort made. The devotion was conducted by our acting Chaplain, Pastor John Wong. Following that, the P3s enjoyed their outdoor cooking session and the P4s and P5s had more of their knots practice. At about 9.45 we had the overseas trip briefing conducted by Sanath from Synergy Dynamics. Those who have signed up are certainly looking forward to the trip.

The P4s and P5s started their knots training in preparation for next year's Adventure Quest. Mr Jack See one of the grandparents conducted the instruction. They learnt about the basics of knotting such as the end, loop and blight and learnt 3 useful knots (reef, clove hitch and bowline) though we only had time to practise 2 of them. The devotion on Humility in Knowledge was conducted by Mr Cheang Kok Kheong, our latest volunteer officer. The Boys learnt how they could remain humble even when they are knowledgeable by deliberately having an attitude of humility towards other people rather than being pre-occupied with themselves. The finals of the captain's ball was an eventful match, with Integrity winning the title ahead of Reverence with a 5-2 score line. The forms for the year end Sharity Gift Box was also handed out to the Boys.

The devotion was conducted Mr Ong on Humility in Service. The Boys were taught many aspects of humility and learnt that humility is clearly shown when we serve others without expecting anything in return. The last game of the captain's ball league was conducted. For the final outcome, see:: http://nypsbb.blogspot.com/2009/07/captains-ball-league.html
Next week's final will see Reverence playing Integrity. Congratulations to the two teams. Well done for a fine effort in teamwork and leadership.
The overseas trip to Kota Tinggi was announced and letters and forms handed out. Please submit all forms by Wed 4 Nov. Participation is on a first come first served basis.

Report
It was a happy occasion for both beneficiaries from the Association of Persons with Special Needs and our Boys and some of their parents and siblings who joined us. On the whole, I believe everyone enjoyed the day.
For the first time, indeed, we saw much contributions from the Boys beginning with their timely arrival at NYPS to load the logistics for the day, each squad being responsible for some of the stores. On our journey to APSN the Boys finalised their preparations, which began in previous week's parade, to be the hosts for the bus journey from APSN (at Jalan Tembusu) to Labrador Nature Reserve.
When we arrived at APSN, we found our guests were all ready and excitely waiting, nicely grouped into 2 groups, one for each bus. On the trip to Labrador Park, some of the Boys were engaged either in leading songs, telling jokes and riddles, helping to entertain our guests.
When we arrived at the Reserve, the 2 groups alighted and was given a short guided tour of the ruins of the old Fort Pasir Panjang on the way down to the beach. We arrived at the beach ahead of our planned 10.00 am start time. After unloading the stores from the bus, the 2 groups had concurrent activities. The first bus had their kite flying session and the second bus, the group games (the ball through the tunnel and ping pong ball ferrying games). Though we were not quite successful flying the kites because of the lack of wind,, there was no lack of enthusiasm judging from the energy expended by the Boys. After a short break for snacks, the two groups switched activities. This was followed by a sumptious lunch. The food tasted especially good after all the physical activities. Two squads, Humility and Reverence stood out particularly for the wonderful interaction with the members from APSN.
The programme ended with our vesper held at the beach and notice for the overseas trip handed to the Boys. After cleaning up the park, we headed back to APSN on the buses. However, the spirits was even higher as the Boys and APSN members were even more enthusiastic with either the singing or riddle and jokes. We parted ways at APSN at 1.00 am, hoping to have another eventful day next year. Our journey back to Nanyang was delayed by heavy traffic and we only arrived at NYPS about 1.45 to 1.50 pm.
In spite of a few incidents of having to discipline some Boys, the officers were greatly encouraged by the service shown by some of the Boys and especially the effort shown by all the Boys in engaging our friends as hosts. Well done Boys and hope we will do even better next year!
It was a day well spent. Our hope is for greater participation from the parents next year.
Do watch out for photos when they are ready at this blog!
