hey rachel here. I am from KRSS. gonna be 15 this year. :) born 15 oct. hates: liars,jerks,annoying ppl, rumours n etc. loves: benji my dog! and my family no spamming pls and TAG! thanks for visting!
GB has seriously changed my life! It has been 3 years since i joined the 54th Girls' Brigade Singapore in 2007. GB has the motto of "seek, serve and follow Christ". Indeed, now i am currently seeking God's help, leading the young ones, serving the Lord by doing badges and follow Christ during devotion. The vision is another one that is really what we are currenltly doing now, it says:"making every girl a leader, and a officer a servant leader." We girls are really being a leader in a lot of ways, some has just yet to be it, but just be patient, your time will come soon.
I was changed from a girl who tries to hide away from activities like camps. For don't know what reason, in lower secondary, i really hated camps. But after thinking of the number of camps i have to attend, i decided to attend camps. Nowadays, i just love camps. The person, the Rachel, who used to hate camps, but now not, is really changed thanks to GB.
Three years has gone, i have matured. Looking back, i really accomplished a lot and overcame many fears.
GB uniform is one thing that many of us use as an excuse in not liking GB. At first, i do hate to wear, but now, i feel that wearing means "showing off" your hard earned badges, your unique uniform group in Singapore. At times, people get mixed up with GB and Girl Guides, this should be the time where we show the difference. Sometimes i do regret when the night before an important event the next day and the attire is full uniform, it is really sad to think about waking up early and changing, combing your hair.
This year, GB and God has given me a lot of opportunities to become a leader, learning new values and just not being myself. Joing the drill competition was the best. Even though training was tough, i was very happy that we earned a silver award! Promoting to become a Sergeant, getting the senior pin, all these you don't get it in normal CCAs.
Ms Foo has nominated me to collect the Sergeant's rank during yesterday's promotion. It has been great honour to go up on stage, shaking the officer's hand and say "thank you, ma'am!" and looking at the 3 strips, it is just too emotional! It was also a great honour to collect corporal's rank for the sec 2s!
GB has really changed me and others! My drill improved and I was in the flag party for this year's enrolment in January, being involved in the school NDP, ahh, it just feels great!
Just wanting to tell other GB girls: leave everything to God, he will do it for you, wait for your blessings to come to you!
* Congratulations to those who have been promoted to corporals and sergeants of the 54th GB S'pore. Jolene, you also, for getting the PBB! Lets continue to work harder together! PS: dont ask me who is promoted for Sergeant, i didn't see the name list on the screen while getting the ranks, can't multi-task!

today something almost happened to one of my class mate (wont write here). den the other person who was involve got caught by DM. i think god is being fair in the case as he knows who was the person who started it first, i thank god for not letting them fight after sch. it is GB day, so had to wear GB uniform the whole day (too guai to change). majority of the lower sec wore their uniform, but only 4 sec 3s wore uniform, the rest either come late or never come to sch!
well after sch, came home, mummy told me that uncle and family from melbourne coming over to eat dinner. so tried to rush and finish homework, but did half? so now continuing.
