Bible Verse

An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening worship service and was startled to find an intruder in her house.

Catching the man in the act of burglarizing her home, she yelled, "STOP! Acts 2:38!" ("Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven.")

As the burglar stopped dead in his tracks, the woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. Shortly, several officers arrived and took the man into custody.

As he was placing the handcuffs on the burglar, one of the officers asked, "Why did you just stand there? All the lady did was mention a scripture verse."

"Scripture?" replied the burglar. "She said she had an axe and two 38?s!"

Resolve Poem


by Charlotte Perkins Gilman



There are some things we should all resolve to do. What are they? Any one may make a list for himself. It would be interesting to compare it with the one here given by the poet.

... See More

To keep my health!

To do my work!

To live!

To see to it I grow and gain and give!

Never to look behind me for an hour!

To wait in weakness, and to walk in power;

But always fronting onward to the light,

Always and always facing towards the right.

Robbed, starved, defeated, fallen, wide astray--

On, with what strength I have!

Back to the way!

傳 道 書 3 Ecclesiastes 3

傳 道 書 3 (Chinese Union Version (Simplified)) 凡 事 都 有 定 期

1 凡 事 都 有 定 期 ， 天 下 万 务 都 有 定 时 。
2 生 有 时 ， 死 有 时 ； 栽 种 有 时 ， 拔 出 所 栽 种 的 也 有 时 ；
3 杀 戮 有 时 ， 医 治 有 时 ； 拆 毁 有 时 ， 建 造 有 时 ；
4 哭 有 时 ， 笑 有 时 ； 哀 恸 有 时 ， 跳 舞 有 时 ；
5 抛 掷 石 头 有 时 ， 堆 聚 石 头 有 时 ； 怀 抱 有 时 ， 不 怀 抱 有 时 ；
6 寻 找 有 时 ， 失 落 有 时 ； 保 守 有 时 ， 舍 弃 有 时 ；
7 撕 裂 有 时 ， 缝 补 有 时 ； 静 默 有 时 ， 言 语 有 时 ；
8 喜 爱 有 时 ， 恨 恶 有 时 ； 争 战 有 时 ， 和 好 有 时 。
9 这 样 看 来 ， 做 事 的 人 在 他 的 劳 碌 上 有 甚 麽 益 处 呢 ？
10 我 见 　 神 叫 世 人 劳 苦 ， 使 他 们 在 其 中 受 经 练 。
11 　 神 造 万 物 ， 各 按 其 时 成 为 美 好 ， 又 将 永 生
原 文 是 永 远 ） 安 置 在 世 人 心 里 。
然 而 　 神 从 始 至 终 的 作 为 ， 人 不 能 参 透 。
12 我 知 道 世 人 ， 莫 强 如 终 身 喜 乐 行 善 ；
13 并 且 人 人 吃 喝 ， 在 他 一 切 劳 碌 中 享 福 ， 这 也 是 　 神 的 恩 赐 。
14 我 知 道 　 神 一 切 所 做 的 都 必 永 存 ； 无 所 增 添 ， 无 所 减 少 。 　
神 这 样 行 ， 是 要 人 在 他 面 前 存 敬 畏 的 心 。
15 现 今 的 事 早 先 就 有 了 ，
将 来 的 事 早 已 也 有 了 ，
并 且 　 神 使 已 过 的 事 重 新 再 来
（ 或 译 ： 并 且 　 神 再 寻 回 已 过 的 事 ） 。
16 我 又 见 日 光 之 下 ， 在 审 判 之 处 有 奸 恶 ，
在 公 义 之 处 也 有 奸 恶 。
17 我 心 里 说 ， 　 神 必 审 判 义 人 和 恶 人 ；
因 为 在 那 里 ， 各 样 事 务 ， 一 切 工 作 ， 都 有 定 时 。
18 我 心 里 说 ， 这 乃 为 世 人 的 缘 故 ，
是 　 神 要 试 验 他 们 ， 使 他 们 觉 得 自 己 不 过 像 兽 一 样 。
19 因 为 世 人 遭 遇 的 ， 兽 也 遭 遇 ， 所 遭 遇 的 都 是 一 样 ：
这 个 怎 样 死 ， 那 个 也 怎 样 死 ， 气 息 都 是 一 样 。
人 不 能 强 於 兽 ， 都 是 虚 空 。
20 都 归 一 处 ， 都 是 出 於 尘 土 ， 也 都 归 於 尘 土 。
21 谁 知 道 人 的 灵 是 往 上 升 ， 兽 的 魂 是 下 入 地 呢 ？
22 故 此 ， 我 见 人 莫 强 如 在 他 经 营 的 事 上 喜 乐 ，
因 为 这 是 他 的 分 。 他 身 後 的 事 谁 能 使 他 回 来 得 见 呢 ？

Chinese Union Version (Simplified) (CUVS)



Ecclesiastes 3 There's a Right Time for Everything

1 There's an opportune time to do things,
a right time for everything on the earth:
2-8 A right time for birth and another for death,
A right time to plant and another to reap,
A right time to kill and another to heal,
A right time to destroy and another to construct,
A right time to cry and another to laugh,
A right time to lament and another to cheer,
A right time to make love and another to abstain,
A right time to embrace and another to part,
A right time to search and another to count your losses,
A right time to hold on and another to let go,
A right time to rip out and another to mend,
A right time to shut up and another to speak up,
A right time to love and another to hate,
A right time to wage war and another to make peace.
9-13 But in the end, does it really make a difference what anyone does?
I've had a good look at what God has given us to do—busywork, mostly.
True, God made everything beautiful in itself and in its time—but he's left us in the dark,
so we can never know what God is up to, whether he's coming or going.
I've decided that there's nothing better to do than go ahead and
have a good time and get the most we can out of life.
That's it—eat, drink, and make the most of your job. It's God's gift.

14 I've also concluded that whatever God does,
that's the way it's going to be, always.
No addition, no subtraction.
God's done it and that's it.
That's so we'll quit asking questions and
simply worship in holy fear.
15 Whatever was, is. Whatever will be, is.
That's how it always is with God. God's Testing Us
16-18 I took another good look at what's going on:
The very place of judgment— corrupt! The place of righteousness—corrupt!
I said to myself, "God will judge righteous and wicked."
There's a right time for every thing,
every deed—and there's no getting around it.
I said to myself regarding the human race,
"God's testing the lot of us, showing us up as nothing but animals."
19-22 Humans and animals come to the same end—humans die, animals die.
We all breathe the same air. So there's really no advantage in being human.
None. Everything's smoke.
We all end up in the same place—we all came from dust,
we all end up as dust.
Nobody knows for sure that the human spirit rises to heaven or
that the animal spirit sinks into the earth.
So I made up my mind that there's nothing better
for us men and women than to have a good time
in whatever we do—that's our lot.
Who knows if there's anything else to life?

Bible according to The Message

Laughter of the Day

A physicist, biologist and a chemist were going to the ocean for the first time.

The physicist saw the ocean and was fascinated by the waves. He said he wanted to do some research on the fluid dynamics of the waves and walked into the ocean. Obviously he was drowned and never returned.

The biologist said he wanted to do research on the flora and fauna inside the ocean and walked inside the ocean. He too, never returned.

The chemist waited for a long time and afterwards, wrote the observation, "The physicist and the biologist are soluble in ocean water".

The Holy Alphabet... This is Beautiful

Whoever came up with this one must have been filled with the Holy Spirit!

A lthough things are not perfect,
B ecause of trial or pain,
Continue in thanksgiving
D on't even think to blame.
E ven when the times are hard,
F ierce winds are bound to blow,
G od is forever able
H old on to what you know.
Imagine life without His love,
J oy would cease to be,
K eep thanking Him for all the things
L ove imparts thee to see.
Move out of ' Camp Complaining ',
No weapon that is known
O n earth can yield the power
P raise can do alone.
Quit worrying about the future,
R edeem the time at hand,
S tart every day with prayer
To 'thank' is God's command.
U ntil we see Him coming,
V ictorious in the sky,
We'll run the race with gratitude,
X alting God most high.
Y es, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but....
Z ion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

'I AM Too blessed to be stressed!' The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.
The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything.
Love and peace be with you forever, Amen.

The Parable of the Eagle

The "Parable of the Eagle" written by James Aggrey in the early 1920's:

It begins ...

Once a man found a young eagle in a forest and took it home and put it in his barnyard. The eagle ate the chicken feed and behaved just as chickens do. One day a naturalist friend noticed it and asked the owner why the eagle, king of all birds, was confined with the chickens.

"Since I have given it chicken feed and trained it to be a chicken, it has never learned to fly," answered the man.

"Still," insisted the naturalist, "it has the heart of an eagle, and certainly it can be taught to fly" ...

To learn what happened next, we invite you to enjoy our short free online movie about this poignant parable at: http://www.EagleParableMovie.com

It was Marianne Williamson who so eloquently wrote in a Return To Love : "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness that most frightens us."

We are all Eagles. Once we have really taken beautiful flight, we can never go back to live like a chicken. It is not a delusion to think we can fly; it is a delusion to think we can't. Manage your fear of greatness and then ... stretch forth your wings and fly toward the dreams that are awaiting you. And equally as important ... to accomplish your dreams requires treating others with the same, compassion and high regard you are learning to embrace for yourself.

Walt Disney once said, "You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful place in the world... but it requires people to make the dream a reality." Utilize the Power of Compassion in urging your Eagle's to lift off the rock ...and fly!

John Rockefeller, the brains and the organizational genius behind the Standard Oil Company, the # 1 oil refining company in the world in his day, said that the most important characteristic he sought in his leaders and managers was the ability to get along with people and to get others to work in harmony together. He stated in his memoirs that keeping harmony among the wild and wooly members of his team was his most important role, and that it was entirely responsible for the tremendous growth and the keeping of his organizations' greatest assets: it's key people, throughout all those years.Experts agree that your professional success depends primarily on human relations skills.

To see the truth in this, just look around you. It's not necessarily the technical skills, hard knowledge, or intelligence that makes "fast-track" professionals super-effective in their jobs. Skills and knowledge are useless in a vacuum. Many times, it is the power of compassionate skill in handling people that propels careers, boosts productivity, ensures job satisfaction and sky rockets prosperity.

The attitudinal harsh-mindedness we launch at people in an attempt to control or punish those we view as "under performers" is as energetically real as pushing someone down on the floor, putting you foot on their shoulder and yelling, "Get Up!" If you don't like how they are responding to your requests, change your attitude ... try compassion!

If you really want to affect your own personal economy, you may want to embrace Goethe's advice ...

"Treat a person as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a person as if he were what he could be, and he will become what he could and should be."

Remember "?The People ?" Quiz

You don't actually have to write down the answer to this quiz.
Just read straight through,and you'll get the point, an awesome one. .....

Take this quiz :-

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss World contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.



How did you do?



The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.
These are no second-rate achievers.
They are the best in their fields.
But the applause dies.
Awards tarnish.
Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.



Here's another quiz.
See how you do on this one :-

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel, appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.

Easier?

The lesson:

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care. If you can, honour those people who have made a difference in your life.

F A M I L Y

I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
"Oh excuse me please" was my reply.

He said, "Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you."

We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.

But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.

Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.

When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
"Move out of the way," I said with a frown.

He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed,
God's still small voice came to me and said,

"While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.

Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You'll find some flowers there by the door.

Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.

He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."

By this time, I felt very small,
And now my tears began to fall.

I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
"Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.

"Are these the flowers you picked for me?"
He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.

I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."

I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."
He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay.
I love you anyway."

I said, "Son, I love you too,
and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."


FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company
that we are working for could easily replace us in
a matter of days.
But the family we left behind will feel the loss
for the rest of their lives.

And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than into our own family,
an unwise investment indeed,
don't you think?
So what is behind the story?


Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU

神有正面答案 /God has a positive answer

在一場船難中，唯一的生存者隨著潮水，
漂流到了一座無人島上。
The only survivor of a shipwreck
was washed up on a small, uninhabited island.

他天天激動地祈禱神救他 能夠早日離開此處，回到 家鄉。
他還每天注視著海上有否可搭救他的人，
但卻是除了汪洋一片，什麼也沒有。
He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him,
and every day he scanned the horizon for help,
but none seemed forthcoming.

後來，他決定用那片帶他到小島的木頭造一個簡陋的小木屋
以保護他在這險惡的環境中生存，並且保存他所有剩下的東西。
Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut
out of driftwood to protect him from the elements,
and to store his few possessions.

但有一天，在他捕完食物後，準備回小屋時，
突然發現他的小屋竟然陷在熊熊烈火之中，
大火引起的濃煙不斷向天上竄。
But then one day, after scavenging for food,
he arrived home to find his little hut in flames,
the smoke rolling up to the sky.

最悲慘的是：他所有的一切東西，在這一瞬間，
通通化為烏有了。悲痛的他，氣憤的對天吶喊著：
「神啊！你怎 么可以這樣對待我！」
頓時，眼 淚 從他的眼角中流出。
The worst had happened; everything was lost.
He was stunned with grief and anger.
"God, how could you do this to me!" he cried.

第二天一早，他被一艘正靠近小島的船隻的鳴笛聲所吵醒。
是的，有人來救他了。
Early the next day, however, he was awakened
by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island.
It had come to rescue him.

到了船上時，他問那些船員 說：「你怎麼知道我在這裡？」
"How did you know I was here?"
asked the weary man of his rescuers.

「因為我們看到了信號般的濃煙。」他們回答 說。
"We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

人在碰到困難時，很容易會沮喪。
不過，無論受到折磨或者痛苦，都不用因此失去信心，
因為神一直在我們心裡面做著奇妙的工作。
It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad.
But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives,
even in the midst of pain and suffering.

記著：當下一次你的小木屋著火時，
那可能只是神美妙恩典的表 徵而已。
Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground
it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.

在所有我們所認為負面的事情，神都是有正面答案的。
For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves,
God has a positive answer.

God says: I will supply all your needs (Philippians 4:19)

2nd KK GB Company's Tribute to Michael Jackson

A beautiful song about the world needs love to be healed, to be a better place. Although Michael Jackson's life has been a reflections of what the world is like, nonetheless, he was a great artist, a great humantarian giver, a great father to his children and he has contributed much to the shaping of the culture of America and the world by bridging races gaps. He is a legend in the world of music, the king of Pop! We choose to remember the wonderful things of his life and the wonderful songs that he has written. This is our way of remembering him.

Theme : Celebrating God's Faithfulness

This year the Enrolment cum Anniversary Celebration Service was held at the church sanctuary followed by a Parade and Award at the Basel Hall. The event was graced by Bishop Rev Dr Thomas Tsen who came to deliver exhortation message to the congregation and also as the Guest of Honour during the Parade.

In his sharing from Psalm 98:1-6, Bishop encouraged us to declare our love to the Lord through new songs "Shout for joy, sing to the Lord a new song!". We experience God in many ways even through the Brigade ministry. Bishop shared that his daughters were in our company when they were girls. The best experience is our life is the salvation of the Lord through Christ.

May the Lord's name be glorified. We should build the foundation of our faith and life on Jesus and His love, this will enable us to love and live a life with firm foundation.

We are most thankful that all the GB companies in KK Group Council came and joined our service. Ms Lai Fui Nar -President, Ms Rowena Chua - Sabah Rep and Captain of 4th KK GB, Ms Angleai Loi - Captain of 5th KK GB Ms Irene Chiang -Captain of 1st Penampang and Ms Yen Pau Jin - WO of 1st KK GB were all present at the service.

2nd KK BB & GB Brigade Family Picnic

A Picnic and Two Weddings at Church

This was to be the one picnic that did not work out exactly as our senior boys and girls have planned it. For one thing, we were forced to change venue on the day itself due to bad weather. The sun refused to come out until 10 a.m. and we have arranged to meet at 8:30 a.m. at the Tanjung Aru Second Beach. So with 50 sms and few telephone exchanges, all the parents have been informed the venue has been changed to our usual meeting place, Basel Church Kota Kinabalu.

Then, this picnic went smoothly as planned with all the games, however we were surprised with one wedding ceremony just in front of our venue followed by another wedding towards the end of our picnic. This should be called "A picnic and two weddings at church".

Date : 1 May 2009 Friday

Venue : Wisma Agape, Basel Church KK

Why GB Awards ?

An Award is an outward symbol showing that a goal has been reached.

The Girls’ Brigade Award work is divided into spiritual, physical, educational and social aspects resulting in a balanced program of activities. These help girls develop in body, mind and spirit increasing their awareness of others' needs.

Awards are given when a goal has been achieved. It is a form of encouragement to excel and go further in the training.

In this busy high-tech world, parents cannot expect the school text-books to teach everything about life. Life is surely much bigger than the school education system ! Much of life situations are not what is mentioned in the textbooks. The Girls' Brigade Award work prepares girls for womanhood in the future. Beside lady-like tasks like sewing, party-planning, we also teach on expedition, survival skills, map reading etc. It is equipping them for the 21st century living.

Awards Records for Girls

Awards are given in the order of blue, green, red and finally gold colour. A girls must complete awards in this order.

In the beginning

This is the story of the beginning of The Girls' Brigade Movement. It was started in 1893 in Northern Ireland. There are two other similar groups that began in England and Scotland. Later in 1963, these three sister organisations came together and join to be as one.

GB Around the world

The Girls' Brigade is a world-wide big family.

GB Crest

The GB Crest can be remembered in a poem :-

In the centre a Cross,

the symbol of Christ and his church,
Below it a Lamp,

that our light may shine upon the world,

Above it a Crown,

that we may own Christ as our King,

Behind it all a Torch,

the flame of Christ's living spirit and our devotion to him.

Our Award System

ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS

Left Sleeve

Awards are given in the order of Blue, Green, Red and Gold.

They should be sewed from inner arm to outer side.

SERVICE AWARDS

Right Sleeve

On the right sleeve, the Service Awards are to be sewed in the above pattern :-

Junior Service Cadet Service

Pioneer Service Senior Service

The number of year is to be changed from 1-3.

Young Leader Awards

When a girl reaches 15 years old, she becomes a pioneer but however before she could be promoted as a Young Leader, she needs to follow a YLPT (Young Leader Preliminary Training) training and followed by assessment in captain for at least 6 months. Young Leader promotion is not automatic but it has been earned through passing the exam in training and completing all practicals in the company.

A pioneer can still follows the Pioneer Venture Programme even if she is not promoted as Young Leader. She will still earn the Achievement Awards (Triangles) as well as Service Awards as pioneer. However, she will not be able to get the braids awards which will lead to the National Highest Award - The Pioneer Pin.

After the promotion, Young Leader will follow a series of training such as RALT (recreational and Administrative Leadership Training) and GBSL (Girls' Brigade Leadership Training) to get more braids in order to complete the full programme for Young Leader. In order to qualify for the Pioneer Pin Award, a Young Leader MUST complete the Pioneer Venture Programme, attend and pass all trainings of Young Leaders, complete all the works and practicals requirement and attend an interview.

The difference between the Pioneer Venture Programme (Triangle Awards) and the Young Leader Training Programme (Braids Awards) is not only that the Young Leader Training Programme may lead to Pioneer Pin Award. The Braid Awards achieved through the Young Leader Training Programme could be won by the girl when she becomes an officer in the future. Whereas the Triangle Awards are just like other Achievement Awards, it cannot be worn by an officer. Should a girl unable to complete the Pioneer Pin Award, she will still stand to gain from the Young Leader Trainings.

GB Songs

THE GIRLS’ BRIGADE SONG

Our Girls’ Brigade shall ever
For Christ and service stand
He only is our Master,
we yield Him heart and hand
The heart with love discerning
To know His holy will
The hand to do His bidding
and His commands fulfill

Chorus :-
For Christ and service,
The watch will loudly ring
For Him we live and labour, our Master,
Our Master, Saviour King

The Word of God our guide book
Directs us day by day
A lamp unto our footsteps,
Alight upon our way
It shows to us the Father
And tells us of His home
It points to us the Saviour
Whose gentle call is Come

O Jesus our great Captain,
Our best we bring to Thee
Our girlhood youthful harvest,
Thine, Always Thine to be
In thought and speech and action,
In daily tasks well done
In all we do for others,
We owe the Lord alone

GIRLS’ BRIGADE VESPER 1

Captain Divine, our work is now complete
And when we part, we gather at Thy feet.
To give our labours and ourselves to thee,
Without reserve, Thy cause to serve,
O Captain hear us as we pledge to be,
True to our creed in thoughts and deeds.


GIRLS’ BRIGADE VESPER 2

Captain, we now our meeting close
Be with us through the coming night
And when we wake from our repose
To greet another morning’s light
Do Thou our waking moments bless
And helps us ever to express
The spirit of the Girls’ Brigade
To work and play and live for Thee

Happy Fathers Day !

On 15 June 2008, the GB girls had a special time to think and work on something for their fathers, grandpas and uncles. As the whole world celebrates Fathers Day, we gave the girls a time to think of their relationship with their parents and to work on a project for their favourite parents.

Mr Chong came in to have a special sharing with the girls on Psalm 8. Mr Chong is none other than our Lt Yong Su Yee's husband and he shared some very deep thoughts about children and their relationships with their parents. He encouraged the girls to remember 3 As.

• Accept
• Acknowledge
• Appreciate

He encouraged the girls to think of the good things that the parents have done for them. They could repay this goodness by saying it or writing it down like a poem.

The Cadets and Juniors did a hand print project for their dad, they tried different colours for the different effects. The hand print poem is specially dedicated to parents to remind them that the children are still small but one day they will grow to be very tall.

The Seniors and Pioneers learnt to make Sushi and packed them for their dads. Some Sushi came out in triangular shapes. The girls had a fun time learning to spread ingredients and roll them up before cutting them. We were able to share this goodies with our company's father figures :-

• Rev Lee Tak Vui, our company Chaplain
• Mr Joseph TL Wong, our company Assistant Chaplain
• Mr Donald Soh, 2nd KK BB Company Captain

All in all, the company girls had a meaningful time remembering what parents especially dads mean to us.

Handprint projects

Handprint project has been a fun and meaningful craft for the younger girls namely Cadets and Juniors. After completion, its a very meaningful gift to present to parents. The handprints remind both parents and girls that we are all fagile and small. We should treasure life as it is now because one day all these little hands will grow bigger and memory will fade just how small these fingers used to be.

Girls in Acitons !

Our Company girls had a fun time spreading the mini cakes with cream and decorating them in a special way for their mums. This year, for Mothers Day, the girls got to decor a cake for their mums. Although most materials were pre-prepared for them, they still have to fold the silver box, decor with their words to mum and then put in the specially decorated cake boxes.


The girls really took pride to decor the cakes to present to their mums. The only thing we missed is to see how their mums will look when receiving the cakes at home !

Cakes so sweet,

Decor so cute,

But none can compare

How a mum will feel

in her heart for her child.

Happy Mothers Day to All !

Your Children shall rise up to call you Blessed !

Easter Camp 2008

Time to learn








Group Photo with Assistant Chaplain Our Dear Saviour's Cross

We held our Easter Camp 20-21 March 2008 with a total of 35 girls. This was a good experience for the little ones as many were their first-night away from home ! On the morning of checking in and registration, many mums were wondering how their girls would do being the first time away from home! We fully understood their concern, we made it a bit of "Sleep-Over" experience with other girls.

We had a good time learning about the meaning of Good Friday and how we should celebrate Easter in a meaningful way. We had two sisters who came in to give Bible Study on Easter Messages, there were Sister Aisha and Sister Eleanor. Sister Aisha taught the Seniors and Pioneers while Sister Eleanor taught the Cadets and Juniors.

In this camp, the girls did a "Stained-glass-look" Cross. There were many beautiful artworks! We joined the chruch for the Good Friday Service and it was most challenging for the younger girls to stay concentrated. During the midnight before, they were all awoken up by the Seniors for a "Midnight Fire Drill", all woke up except two little ones who were unalarmed with all the shoutings and running ! Well, the Seniors made them wear jackets and did a midnight drill session with all of them! We could hear one cadet girl sobbing for her mum but she still continued the drill despite her tears ! It was quite an experience to do midnight drill because the leaders could see your mistakes but not your face !

All in all, the girls had a good time of learning and fellowshiping with one another.

What would you be doing this Sunday?

This Sunday afternoon, like any other Sunday afternoon, I will join the Girls' Briagde Company meeting at Basel Church between 2 to 4:30 p.m. During our normal Sunday afternoon meetings and our camps, we would be able to try to do the following :-

Who should join GB ?

Girls between the age of 7-21 may join the company. We take in girls from as young as Kinder 2 (6 years old) if they are quite independent. Seniors girls normally come in when they in eralier forms like Form 1 or 2.

• Girls who are very active can benefit from GB as they are quite ready to be trained as leaders.
• Girls who are very shy and inactive by nature need GB training to bring them out to face the challenges of life.
• Girls who are very friendly will make many friends in GB and friends for life !
• Girls who dont easily make friend will benefit form the many friendship opportunity given to them!

In short, all girls can benefit from the programme of GB!

We usually have a recruitment campaigne from end of year to early part of year just before our enrolment service at the end of April, that is the best time to tr out. However, you can join any time of the year.

Christmas Camp 2007

Merry Christmas !

For the first time, our company ran a Christmas Camp this year ! We had a total of 22 girls, almost all of the entire company girls joined the camp! It was real fun for the first-timers as they stay overnight away from home. Our camp venue is the luxurious Kyrugma House, along Jalan Tuaran and opposite the Basel Church.

The Christmas camp held was held 3-4 December 2007. During the camp, Mr Joseph Wong, our Assistant Chaplain and his wife Mrs Cathrine Wong, our Warrant Officer took turn to share with the girls the meaning of Christmas, Christmas Decorations, Why Christ must come, How to celebrate Christmas with meaning.

The Christmas Craft time were nothing but fun :- we did christmas decor, circular patterns dye-your-cloth, special musical instrument. We also had a simple baking lesson on how to bake Scottish Shortbread, packed and put inside a silver box as a Christmas gift !

Aside the funtime, we had two sessions of drill taught by our senior girls. We also had a movie night with "Home Alone 2". The girls also watched the testimony of Lena Maria and saw how brave and her life is full of love despite her handicap.

All-in-all, we all had a wonderful pre-Christmas experience ! The cadets actually begged to stay longer in future camp.

Who we are ?

2nd Kota Kinabalu Girls Brigade Company was established in 1978 within the Basel Church of Malaysia Kota Kinabalu congregration. The company was registered in 1979 officially. Since then, it has been training girls from all backgrounds, races and denominations to be a better person in their womanhood. The company has produced quite a number of Pionner Pins holders in the country, not to mention that these ladies were also the first to receive such highest national award in the state of Sabah.

We meet in Kota Kinabalu, the capital city of Sabah. The state of Sabah is one of the 13 states to form Malaysia. Situated in the Northern part of Borneon Island, the third largest island in the world, Sabah is fortunate to miss most of the typhoons paths across South China Sea, hence our name as "The Land Below the Wind".
