Celebrating Scout founder’s Day...

"A week of camp life is worth six months of theoretical teaching in the meeting room..."

(Organised by BP Guild Malaysia)

Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout movement was born on 22 February 1857. Scouts worldwide celebrate his birthday each year as Founder’s Day.

This year, the Founder’s Day Dinner was held at the Royal Selangor Club. As usual the Kelantan contingent managed to gather quite a large number of senior members including the Golden Girls. Most of them flew in from Kota Bharu just to celebrate with brothers and sisters scout who came from all over. It was an evening of camaraderie, singing, dancing, good food and lucky draws. Lucky me, I won the lucky draw hamper!

The event ended with everyone singing their hearts out the rowdy campfire songs. And without fail doing the thousand legged worm dance as the finale.

Putramas from dusk till dawn...

"I shall close all my shutters, pull the curtains tight, and build me stately palaces by candlelight..."

(Skyline at dusk)

We were shut like a jacket
So do your zip
We will roll down the rapids
To find a way that fits

Can you feel where the wind is?
Can you feel it through?
All of the windows
Inside this room?

Majlis Khatam al-Quran...

"Recite the Quran for the Quran will intercede for the reciter on the day of judgement..." - Muslim

(Majlis Khatam Quran)

Once a month, the muslimah of Taman Bidara will gather for a simple majlis Khatan al-Quran. The majlis will be held at Masjid at-Tayyibin lead by Ustaz or Ustazah that teach us Talaqqi classes.

Normally after the majlis we will have a simple refreshment pot-luck style.
