Hi there, It's has been a while since i last update this site. Hmmm....so how's everyone doing? Anyway, i have received some useful info from some of my brother scouts back in 3rd Sibu. Mr. Tan Chee Khoon, one of my old time buddies, and guess what? He has sent me an 'MP3', i was curious when he told me he's gonna send one to me, and i guess that what all of you have in mind..yes...the music ...but no...it's just a name for the bulletin for the 3rd Sibu Scout Group. MP3 = Majalah Pengakap Kumpulan ke-3..quite well done. Oh boy, i'm amazed by the work. Anyway, Do send me more if you have a latest release then..Special thanx to Tan Chee Khoon and also Edward Yii for keeping me updated with so much info...it's just like receiving mails from an old friend..warm and sweet. Reminds me of the good old days..ha.ha.ha (do i really sound that old?)
Oh yeah, if there are any brothers and sisters scouts of 3rd Sibu Scout Group read this web site by any chance, do sign on my guestbook, and also drop me a line. Suggestions and ideas are all welcomed. So far i have get in touch with some old scouts of 3rd Sibu, namely, Wong Jyi Ling (old time big gang buddy), Edward Yii, Patrik, Tan Chee Khoon (who doesn't even bothered to reply my mails..duh) and also Wong Siew Yii...I'm trying to get in touch with Kiu Hung Ching though..heard he's around in Kuching...recently graduated from Unimas...anyway, please tell him about it if anyone of you knows his whereabout. And yes, Jyi Ling is too busy examining the corpse (psssstttt..girls , he's a doctor...go and get him..ha.ha) to even bother to mail me.....aiyooo...commonlah... do keep me on your mailing list..will ya?
Oh yeah, just for your info, i will be resigining from the present job here as the supervisor of the Production Engineering Department of a Japanese electronic component manufacturing plant here in Kuching at the end of this month...hmm...two days to go (today's 26/7/2000 nd will resign on 28/7/2000). Gonna start working in a new company starting from 1st August. Well, seems like i have limited time to go on line. Anyway, i'll try to keep this web site updated...and i'll try to reply all your mails at night...can't promise much though, but i'll try.
That's all for now though, do keep your mails coming in.
Have fun..
Luv

Howdy!!! Just for your info, i have joint the 37th Kuching Scout Group which is affliated to the Sarawak Buddist Association. It is an open group...Although i'm a christian myself, i don't consider joining a scout group whch is affliate to buddist asociation a problem for me.. We also have many christian here. Made some new friends on the first day there though, people like Hai Ping, Alan, and etc.. nice guys..easy to talk with, think this is what scouting is all about..making friends regardless of religion, age and race.. Found it to be pretty enjoyable though, chit-chatting, making friends...geeeesss....all of them are younger than me..almost all of them are still in the secondary school, perhaps i shall call some other friends who are also interested in scouting to join us all.and who knows we might get ourselves a rover crew (18 - 40 years old).
Currently i'm doing my thesis part for my woodbadge..(woodbadge stage 4B) and i have checked it out with the kuching Scout HQ, and sadly the person in charge informed me that i might have to resit my woodbadge stage 4A again, since it has been a long time (5 years) since i took my stage 4A..brbbb...depressing..anyway, i'll check it out again and probably appeal to them so that i can get some credits out of it.....
Life's here is pretty boring ... working at 8a.m., back at 7p.m., dinner at 8p.m. and sleep at 11p.m. nothing fancy..
Therefore, keep your mail coming in..and spice up my life...
That's all for now.....hmmm...seems like this web page has become a personal diary to me already instead of being a message board for me to post my personal message here..hmmmm...
ok...talk to you guys later then..
have fun.
regards
Daniel
