Pre-Camp Day 2

Tuesday, 1 December 2009

Happy Birthday Joyce Ung! =)

It's the start of pre-camp day 2.Thankfully, our whole unit came. =) At 7, we all met up at the campsite and talked with the EXCO's for a little while we wait for our fellow scouts.

The Techno Block.

Soon, the scouts of Unit 3 and 4 started on the gateway while us guides started with the clothes line and shoe rack. So we got started and tied the platform, etc.

8 figuring.

Rubber-cutters!

The scouts of Unit 3 and 4.

The time flew by fast. Soon, it was lunch time. So off we went to McDonald's. Although the air-conditioned air was cooling, we had to leave and head back to the campsite to finish our 1st gadget.

Along the way, the fellow campers were all very supporting. Some sang, some danced. But the highlight of the day was the dance-off between Cobra and Unit 2, and Jian Ming's dance on the gateway. I have the videos, but I think they will come after us if we posted it up. =)

Tomorrow's the last day of pre-camp. Then the real deal begins. Let's just pray for the best.

Signing off,

Pre-Camp Day 1

Before I begin, I would like to wish our fellow school-mate/camp-mate a very happy birthday.

Happy 15th Birthday Wen Thing.

Now back to the meeting. Meeting held at at Nicole's house once again. But today's meeting only consists of the 3 of us :

Me of course.

Chan Yee Lin.

And Nicole.

Look at the loco reading my 17 magazine upside down.

Anyways, I reached Nicole's house at 10. Instead of waiting for the turtle (Chan), we decided to get started on our camp things as it is our last day to do a full touch up on everything. First stop, souvenirs.

Nicole and I waiting for the paint to dry.

2nd stop : The start of the logbook cover.

The mess in Nicole's house.

When Chan reached, she gave me a hand on the souvenirs. After finishing it, we had our lunch.

After lunch, we practiced our dance. Once again, all three of us danced, so there are no pictures available. At 3.30, we decided to visit Winnie over at Island Glades.

Chan the superwoman opening the lift door.

Entering.

To the Ground Floor!

On the way there.

They stopped at a stop sign to pose for the camera.

When we reached, we were taken away by the beauty of our banner. *sorry for being so full of ourselves*. Winnie then helped us with the logbook cover.

At 5.30, we had to walk home. So we said bye-bye to Winnie and left. We continued on the souvenirs when we got home. After another half hour, we started cleaning up.

Well, that's it for today. Tomorrow we'll all be at pre-camp. So see you guys there! =)

Pre Pre-Camp Meeting

Brace yourselves for a crazy post as us dancers had our own meeting today, and we went crazy during break time.

At 10, everyone reached Nicole's house. Wei Thing and I began on the souvenirs while Chan and Nicole were researching something on the computer. But we were eager to start on our dance so that it would be perfect for Campfire Night.

So we headed down to the Games Room to practice. I don't have a picture of us dancing brcause there wasn't anyone to take the pictures for us. But I do have some crazy pictures here. =)

Crazy Chan striking a pose each time the camera points at her.

Nicole and Chan tango-ing.

Us three dancing to the song on Nicole's phone.

Two loco-cocos in the room.

Resting.

We got bored of the scenery, so we headed to the swimming pool.

Chan was wearing her sport shoes, so she couldn't go into the water.

After 10 minutes of enjoying the cold water, we went up to have our lunch. Nicole's mother was kind enough to prepare a meal for us. Thank you. =)

At 2.30, we went back down to the Games Room and started practicing once again. We managed to perfect 3 quarter of our dance.

Discussing.

There was a whiteboard in the Games Room, with two markers. As hard as we tried, we couldn't resist the temtation to draw in it.

Yes, we went crazy for a long moment.

At the playground...

On our way to the toilet...

Yes, we exit the room... in style.

Pre-Camp tomorrow. See you guys there!

Signing off,

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.

Miss Chan Yee Lin practicing the dance.

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.

Talking to Jess.

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.

Zara at the dinner table. Tired?

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.

The others who weren't involved.

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.

The stage.

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.
