Two-In-One

As we all know, Selection Day was held today at Youth Park. Well, allow me to start the post off with our selection-day-preperation meeting.

Thursday, 26 November 2009

We, Zara, Chan, Wei Thing and Li Jean went over to Nicole's house to practice our guides dance. We used the games room that was available as it had ample space for us to move about in privacy.

After practising for nearly 4 hours, we received a call from the EXCO's saying they'll be visiting us very soon. Well, we reacted quite naturally... we freaked out. Soon, the EXCO's together with some ex-scouts came. There 24 people in total.

We performed part of our guides dance to the EXCO's. Then they adviced us... chit chat a little while, and left for another visit to another patrol. Jessica stayed back to talk to us.

At 5.30, Zara, Chann, Jess and I left Nicole's house, leaving Nicole, Wei Thing and Li Jean to prepare for Selection Day. Everyone came back to my house and Chan and I kept practicing our dance.

Soon everyone left, and we got started on packing our bags for Selection Day. Information was passed out to members on where and when to meet at Youth Park.

At approximately 10, everyone from Unit 3 reached. We moved our practice to the canteen as there were too many people in the stage area.

At 12.30, everyone reported in. After breaking off, we immediately took off for the toilet to change into our dancing clothes. We changed fast enough to catch Unit 1's guides dance.

Scout's dance... I'm sorry but I'm not sure who's.

Vash and Nicole still practicing the combined dance.

At 4, it was our turn to show the EXCO's what we've been doing for the past few weeks. We started off with the combined dance, and continued with the guides. The scouts performed earlier during Unit 4's turn.

After the performance, us dancers felt very hungry as we did not eat our breakfast and lunch. So we headed on the canteen to get our tea.

Yes, we only had Maggi Mee.

The scouts relaxing.

Min Sze!

At 5.45, everyone started changing back into their uniforms, preparing for the results.

A lot of people from different patrols and units.

Chan and Min Sze talking.

At 6, TL Alvin Cheah called us in and the results were announced. Congratulations to Unit 2 for getting all 3 dance, sketch and speciality in. Can't wait to see you guys perform during campfire night. If I manage to recall the rest of the result, I will post it up.

Signing off,
