Amazing isn't it that he's making a living out of molding chicken wires. Any scout thinking of walking down the same path as him? :P
Do you guys recognise the knots used in the video? It's none other than the
Fisherman's knot.
The Fisherman's knot is a bend knot that can be almost impossible to untie. An even stronger knot than that is the
double Fisherman's knot. So if you have a friend that's always pulling pranks on you, tie their shoelaces together with this knot. If you're really planning to go overboard with the prank, you may even consider the
triple Fisherman's knot! :P

After being convincingly beaten by Daniel Phoon in the "
most popular search query to land in 08online" match-up, former ATL Bernard Tan is making a comeback with this photo. In this fifth installment of the caption-making-just-for-fun-only what-you-call-it-thingy, put the words into this entau-wannabe.
Before we continue to follow the
misadventures of our favourite (some say imaginary) sea scout, let's recap on the events that have transpired since the
last round-up.
We have realised by now that the surprise camp he attended which was the Leadership Training Camp (LTC) was not the camp that he ran away from. In
Entry 012, he had just come back from the camp which was followed by Troop Takeover (TTO) and was all tired out. It was a camp that was totally not what he thought it was to be. Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Attention all former and current sea scouts!
With increasing adoption of blogs and the new media by the masses, it is only natural that our members will take up blogging too. For a matter of fact, we have many members who have embraced blogging. However, we have no official records of such member blogs except if they have left their blog URL in the small talk or comment section of this blog.
Of course, there would be those who still do not have blogs of their own. So, to encourage those who have not started their own blogs to start one and also to support those who already have their own to continue updating theirs, we are compiling the blogs of all our mighty sea scouts, both current and former.
If you would like your blog to be included in the list, just leave a comment of your name and your blog URL. It would be nice if you could link back to this blog although that is not a prerequisite for your blog to be listed. If you know of any member blogs yet to be included in the list, you can also leave a comment on behalf of them.
Remember, the main idea is to list as many member blogs as possible. It doesn't matter if it's hosted on Blogger, Wordpress, Xanga, Friendster or your own server, as long as you are or were a mighty sea scout of Penang Free School and have a blog of your own, we want to know about it.
Attention all brothers of the sea scout group. There will be a gathering organised and held at St. George's Girls School. Details are as follows
Date : 12 April 2008
Time : 1000 hours to 1400 hours
Venue : St. George's Girls School
Attire : Full Sea Scout Uniform
Fee : RM15 (lunch and participation fee)
So , fellow first and second formers , please attend this gathering not because it is held annually but it is also a first time valuable experience for some of you especially the form 1's. This is a chance not to be missed. After this gathering , we will head back to school for our sports day D-formation (if you have no idea what this is , you will know soon). It will end at around 6. ATTENDANCE IS STRICTLY COMPULSORY FOR ALL FORM 1's , 2's, 3's and 4's. SEVERE ACTIONS WILL BE TAKEN IF ONE IS NOT TO ATTEND WITHOUT ANY CONSENT FROM THE TROOP LEADER.
It is a horrible time to be a scout in Penang Free School. If what is reported in a recent top-level meeting between the school administrators is to be believed, the scouts in Penang Free School may as well just close shop and join the Boys Brigade or some other sissy organisation. Scouting in Penang Free School as we know it will cease to exist.
As we all know that these few months is a gathering season. To all form 1's , this are some events not to be missed as you can make new friends and gain some experience in your scouting life. These are some of the events taking place soon.
22/3/08 - MBS Gathering
12/4/08 - SGGS Gathering
Please be ready for these events and detail will soon be given. Try to make sure there isn't any plans during these days. Any changes will be informed as soon as possible.
