More birds, more luck!

Dear Ventures,

Congrats to all the new Ventures of Ngee Ann Wichita Venture Crew. Now that you're formally invested, here's wishing u all the best for your future endeavours.

I'll also like to take this opportunity to share with you guys the new Scouting Names bequeathed this Job Week Camp:

Chandan - Grinning CondoR

Our ever-smiling Venture Chairman, Chandan has been observed to have this tendency to grin away madly. Whether it be accepting a prize or refusing to admit to a blur mistake, Chandan likes to Smile.

The condor not only happens to be a big bird with a bald head, but it's been associated with leadership qualities. Condors are known to have a quasi-organized brood structure. They are able to maintain this through the constant communication with each other in the brood. They are also fierce birds of prey that are relentless hunters that inspire awe.

JJ - Hunting Falcon

Like a hunter, Jun Jie is a silent stalker: patient in his quest for his goal, and striking swiftly for his target. New areas of adventure thrill him and do not daunt him, be it trying out kayaking or the CCA, JJ has shown to his peers that he is a hunter who carries himself with grace and determined in the hunt.

A falcon is not just an impressive bird of prey: the hunter's falcon is of a special pedigree, and reared to be tame enough to co-operate with humans, but ferocious enough such that even men appreciate such natural hunters. J J's aggression is tempered by his reserved and friendly nature.

Terry - Humble Robin

We couldn't have said it better as Dolphin did during the ceremony. Terry carries himself with a quiet confidence despite his small size, and has never wavered in the face of problems.

He also happens to be very adaptable. His fingers can work on the strings of a violin or the manila ropes of a pioneering project with equal ease, a feat few can achieve. True to his nature, he just shyly smiles when praised of this fact.

Mr. Hazmi - Happy Rhino

Our happy-go-lucky former GSL never fails to strike an impression with both the boys under him and the leaders fortunate enough to work with him. The broadness of his smile is only challenged by his girth, and he is a hearty and jovial leader to everyone.

Still, he has shown that he is able to hold his ground with his friendly personality which is like an armour that is impervious to disappointment. Like a rhinocerous herd leader, Mr. Hazmi has deftly led his charges through thick and thin and looked after them well.
