DIY Christmas & Home Coming...
That’s right. The new season of Selangor ONE started with a D.I.Y. No, not D.I.S.C but D.I.Y. Yes, Do It Yourself method. I believe for far too long we have always been spoon-fed, either by our parents, teachers or our leaders. The bible wrote that when we are a child, we think like a child and eat like a child. But when we have grown up, we have to think like adult and eat MEAT like adult. A child’s portion of food cannot satisfy an adult nor will a child’s level of thinking solve adult problems. We have to grow up and learn to do things ourselves. That’s right, D.I.Y.
The Council and the Group Commanders all decided on the D.I.Y plus a few of games here and there and wala… what a home coming & Christmas celebration, it has turn out to be. Allow me to elaborate further…
The day started with everyone sitting together to hear the days message from our beloved Outpost Chaplain Ps. Mike Kuna. Ps. Mike added some animation and rope trick to his preaching to attract the attention of rangers from all ages. Then, the fiesta begins…
Each ranger has to complete a certain obstacles and games before they can proceed to claim their reward in terms of food. However, in claiming their reward, we meant to say that they actually have to cook them all by themselves… under adult supervision, of course.
We had toast bread with egg station; make your own sandwich station (with choice of egg or tuna); baked your own bread station; and everyone’s favourite, the chocolate fruit factory. The chocolate fruit factory managed by Adventure leaders was a sensational hit with rangers lining up to have a taste of melted chocolate on their favourite choice of fruits. Yummy…
What a start to a new and exciting season ahead…
Hmm…maybe someone should start a D.I.Y food stall. Do everything yourself, put the ingredient (choose what you want, how much you want), cook yourself (how long you want, raw/medium/cooked/ burnt) and then serve yourself. If you don’t like, you have only yourself to blame. Hahha… What’s the catch for the stall owner, then? They pay the same market price. Hehe..
