She's back!

My wife returned home yesterday exhausted. Together with seven boys and three officers, Roseline attended the 18th Pesta from 30 May to 4 June at UMS Kota Kinabalu.

She also couldn't wait to show me the headlines from The Borneo Post (Sabah edition) "Bamboo dance enters Book of Records" reporting how the Boys' Brigade from Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines set a new record when a total of 881 members took part in the 20-minute dance with 402 pieces of eight-foot bamboos used! Amazing! Congratulations to the BB!

The practice.
"Warriors" getting ready to create new record!
Jubilation after setting the new record!
A visit to the cultural village.
Printing the participation certificates.

My wife told me it was an unforgettable experience with Sarawak sending the biggest contingent of 380 members!
Gala dinner. These three youths from the prestigious 1st Sibu Company (of Wesley Methodist Church) Wow, look at the badges!
For the past 24 hours I have enjoyed thoroughly Roseline's anecdotes of her first Pesta experience.

More on the same story in my church member (BB Captain) Andy Chew's blog.
