Hello Cadets! How was last Saturday's training?
I bet you enjoyed the lunch, KFC! Haha, there'll be more to come too!(: 

Are you aware that currently "Angel and Mortal" game is going on?
For those who don't, here is a brief introduction to the game! (:
Every cadet will have a mortal to 'take care' of
and also an angel who will look after them.
Angel's identity will be a secret.

The cadet will be the angel to his mortal and have to participate by
providing care and share to the mortal.
Care and share can be interpreted as a gift (which must not cost more than $2),
or even showing concerns and getting to know each other better as friends.

So, Angels, if you are giving a gift, on the packaging, you may write; 

To: RCYNDP
From: RCYNDP's Angel 

Alternatively, if you are a mortal,
and would like to reciprocate to your Angel's gifts,

You may write as follow; 

To: RCYNDP's Angel

From: RCYNDP 

But, always bear in mind that angel's identity has to be kept confidential
until the big day, 9th August! 
Never disclose your identity to anyone!
 Here are some gift ideas for your mortals (or even for your angels!) 
Sweets / Chocolate
Small momento (Keychain, bookmark, friendship band, etc.)
A short letter / A card w message written on it

And list goes on.
Just bear in mind that, its the thought that counts.
& definitely not the cost (:

Hope to see more Angels at work this weekend :D
And, to end of this post, are your pictures from CCR4!
