BB Pesta 2008 (30 May - 4 June)

7 Boys and 4 Officers from 4th Miri Company flew off to KK on 30th May to participate in the 2008 BB Pesta. The Boys who went were John, Richard, Nick, Kenny, Egbert, Yong Shiuan and Ming Yih. The Officers who made the trip were Lt. Yong Hui, WO Margaret, WO Roseline and WO George.

(Some of the team members arriving at KK International Airport.)







One of the highlights of the event was the Bamboo Dance, which broke the Malaysia's Book of Records for the highest number of participants (more than a thousand).

The opening ceremony ~ all the Boys and Officers are required to wear their ceremonial uniform.



Feedback from our Boys have been positive. They learn to take care of themselves, look out for one another, make new friends, etc. This has been an enriching experience for all of them.





We also participated in the Singing Competition. Although we did not win anything, it was an awesome experience for the Boys (and WO George) to perform in front of more than a thousand people! Watch a short video clip below.




All pictures and video are taken by WO Roseline.

dear bro andy,
Praise the Lord for the boys were able to perform at the Pesta before the crowd of over 1000 people.
I suggest to get each boy to write a few lines about their experience and post at your blog.
God bless.
