A Brigade Boy

Joesph standing at attention in his new BB T-shirt and service cap. He polished the badge until it shone. The first day he got the badge, he walked into a counter-corner at the shopping centre because he wasn’t looking. He was looking at the badge and polishing it as he was walking.

Attennnnnnn-tion!

Fall-in

    Are the Brigades like Boy Scouts? Joseph must be so proud of being a part of the troop!

    so funny about him walking into a counter-corner, LOL! I would’ve done that too, if I stared at my badge all day!

    you’ve just gotta love little boys in uniforms…

    They look a fine troupe. They do look like the Boy Scouts to me.

  12. jonzz May 23, 2007 7:27 am

  13. eve May 23, 2007 11:37 am

    Hi guys… sorry for the late reply. Was held up a bit today.

    Raychin, it’s at a school near Jubilee Park. A bit off the beaten track. Not easy to find if you’re not from SP.

    Rinnah, similar to scouts but also has a spiritual component. The scouts in the US can’t even say a prayer nowadays.

    Here are some info from Malaysian BB site and the UK BB site.

    Eastcoastlife, ya laaa… err.. as if papa is really beefy.

    Am I? Really?

    May, I called, “Look out!” but it was too late. Kerrbammm!!

    He was breathing mist onto the badge and polishing it with his T-shirt.

    Kevin, you’re welcome.

    Just me, yup… he was so proud of it. “Did you have one when you were my age, Papa?”

    Fibrate, like father, like son… !

    hehe.. can “tipu” the new-comers. The seasoned visitors know otherwise.

    Chelsea, obedient? Not sure.. had fun? YES!

    Ahhong, oh yes! Definitely!

    Sweetpea, oh yes! Definitely! Haha.

    Capt Picard, a great compliment from the Captain :-)

    It’s the oldest uniformed youth organisation in the world, started in Scotland.

    Jonzz,

    Eve, thanks for the advice. Auntie Eve.

    Wahlau, yesss!

  17. mumsgather May 24, 2007 3:12 pm

    He looks sooooo hensem. Papa must be really proud of him.

  18. Bernard May 25, 2007 12:34 pm

    Bengbeng, there’s a company in Sibu as well. I think more than one company, in fact.

    Mumsgather, yup.. Papa is :-)

    Hi Bernard,

    Joseph looks so cute in that BB uniform. Reminds me of your Dad in his uniform! He sure is your carbon copy. Hope you guys are all well.

  20. Bernard June 1, 2007 9:13 am

    Kor, thanks for dropping by. We’re all very well thanks. Joseph is as thin as both papa and kong-kong were at his age too. Haha.

  21. Chen June 1, 2007 10:37 pm

  22. Bernard June 4, 2007 1:33 am

    Chen, yup. Picky eater. And a human dynamo. Tips the balance to output > input.
