How To Register To Be ATAS (Association of Top/Achiever Scouts) World Member

First of all, I am very happy because being accepted to be the member of ATAS World (Formerly called as ATAS-APR). How can I to be join the ATAS, it is because my scout officer (also can be say is my Sifu) Mr Heng Soo Peng and Mr Chew Ching Yee had been introduce it to be before. Well, this also my dream while I was in secondary school, I saw the badge of ATAS and feel that are very nice, and encourage me.

From the web info, ATAS is gather the member all around the Asia Pacific to share the knowledge and anything when their gathering. Starting, i think it is spending much money because the gathering every year held rotated around APR country. After get some infomation from Mr Heng and Chew, to attend the gathering is not spending much money, if want to be economic, just attend the gathering when it is held in our own contry or the country neared like Thailand and Singapore. Just like the APR Conference that just held on end of October 2009 in Hilton Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, they also had the ATAS gethering there.

Last week, when KLKM USM is having their Woodbadge Part 3 course in Bukit Panchor, Mr Heng had talk about ATAS with me there. From there he had tell me how to register to be member, but not very complete (SWT), after come back, I use the power of GOOGLE, to surf to get the continous answer.

男人一生尋找的不是一個妻子

什麼是妻子？就是你願意把積蓄交給她保管的女人。
什麼是情人？就是你偷偷摸摸地去和她約會又怕妻子撞見的女人。
什麼是紅顏知己？就是你能把有些秘密說給她聽卻不能說給妻子聽的女人。

妻子是一種約束，約束你不能隨便和別的女人交往。
情人是一種補償，補償你想從妻子那得到卻又無法得到的激情。
紅顏知己就是一種點撥，點撥你心中的迷津。

妻子陪你過日子，情人陪你花鈔票，紅顏知己陪你聊聊天。

妻子不能替代情人，因為她沒有情人有情調。
情人不能代替妻子，因為她沒有妻子的親情。
妻子和情人都代替不了紅顏知己，那是心靈的需要。

妻子是一個和你沒有一點血緣關系的女人，卻為你深夜不回家而牽腸掛肚。
情人是一個和你沒有一點家庭關系的女人，卻讓你嘗盡做男人滋味盡情消魂。
紅顏知己是一個還沒和你扯上關系的女人，卻能分擔你的快樂和懮愁。

妻子是一個家，是一個能渙浮躁的心帶來安撫的港灣。
情人是家的累贅，只是不到萬不得已你不想甩掉。
紅顏知己是家的點綴，沒有她你不會覺得寂寞，但你會覺得生活沒意思。

妻子的關心像一杯白開水，有時會成為一種嘮叨，只是在生病時纔成為一種溫馨。
情人的關心就像在白開水裡加了一勺糖，慢慢地品上一個晚上還不滿足。
紅顏知己的關心就像工作到午夜喝一杯咖啡，越喝越提神。

妻子懷上你的孩子會深情地問你想要個男孩還是要個女孩。
情人懷上你的孩子會哭著來問你該怎麼辦怎麼辦啊？
對於紅顏知己，你會把你的情人懷孕的消息告訴她，並問她你該怎麼辦。


世界上最讓男人受不了的是．．．妻子的嘮叨，情人的眼淚，紅顏知己的誤解。

妻子的嘮叨使男人的心亂上加亂。
情人的眼淚讓男人已硬的心變得酥軟。
紅顏知己的誤解把男人的心由懸崖推進深谷。

最好的妻子，就是男人能從她身上找到情人和紅顏知己兩種相互交織的感覺，
只是這種感覺男人很難找到。
最好的情人是在你和她的關系被妻子發現而主動退出又不提任何要求，
只是情人很難做到這點。
最好的紅顏知己是有一天她能成為情人，甚至妻子，只是這種想法很難實現。

如果有可能，男人都在想把紅顏知己變成情人。如果再有可能，再把她變成妻子。
只是變成妻子的紅顏知己就不再是知己了，因為很少有男人把自己的妻子當成知己的。
男人心中有好多秘密不能隨便說給妻子聽。要不，那還叫男人嗎？

娶一個妻子是為了怕別人說閑話。
找一個情人是為了給單調的生活加點味精。
交一個紅顏知己是想給空虛的心靈澆點雞湯。

男人一生都在尋找的不是一個妻子，也不是一個情人，而是一個甚至更多的紅顏知己。
