second day of advance party. more shopping with mrs goh, mrs chua, intan and meiqing. we walked in and out of the school like countless times. we set up the rest of the playground. it was super cool!!! we had two swings and a rope ladder which was like twice my height. we also made a see-saw and another swing which was not very stable due to the lack of strong spars. how cool can gadgets get?!

the actual day of camp. our hard work and many days of planning has finally materiallized. my patrol was combined with Kingfisher, in total 6 peeps :) started with colours in the morning. there were three brownies that joined us namely rebecca, emily and jill. my camp patrol took a tent and started to pitch at our spot to find a lot of things missing: the poles, the guidelines and the dollies! so some went to do gadgets first and some waited and erin went to get the stuff. we pitched it really fast and went on to the gadgets. belle and me did the shoe rack while meiying did the mini rope ladder and the rest did the clothes hanger. we finished really early so we decided to name our group. got inspiration from erin's t-shirt and came up with TWIGGs the short form of The Wonderfully Incredible Girl Guides. haha. played the Manito (secret friend) game. got cheryl ann.

was raining in the afternoon so we did craft. was doing dream catcher whole time. lefty abbit said that mua dream catchers are good enough to be sold!!! yay, finally perfected it.

campfire that night. was sooooo fun. we did the TIRO song, meaning Togetherness, Independence,Respect and Organiztion. we all had to sit on each other. haha. cooking with meiying afterwards. cooked fish, potato, sweet potato, corn and BANNANA WITH MARSHMALLOW CHOLOLATE. they forgot to put the marshmallows so it was just the chololate, was still nice anyway. so me and meying invented something that was SRUMPTIOUS!! we dumped the marshmallows inside one mess tin and added a lot of chocolate sauce and melted it. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM....went ot bathe in the bathing tent with my patrol. yup, we change into swimming costumes and we bathe in that while the seniors jet us. the water was soo cold. decided to write sth stupid to my manito. hahaha. wasn't in a right state of mind to write anyway, perfect brain condition to write crap. slept in the canvas tent that night on the safari beds. they are so comfy!! unlike sleeping in the other tent that we pitched, it had no smell, was not very stuffy. i almost felt like i was in my bed!

in colour party. was really troublesome as we had to change into uniform before we can raise/ lower the world flag. the cooking day. we had inspection of tents first. then we prepared the bell chicken and cooked some other veg and noodles and newspaper fish! yes, fish cooked in newspaper. it's actually nice. they got leftover marshmallows so we did the same thing that we did in the campfire. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... our bell chicken turned out cooked. it looked really nice (and it did taste nice too)did more craft later in the afternoon. thought a few people dream catchers. mua chee making session was going on concurrently. went there to eat some mua chee only to discover that the mua chee was very salty. not long after, the whole company was washing their mouths out! melody put in salt instead of sugar!!!!! hahahahahaha!!!!!!!

played 'finding the family' at the courtyard. was so fun!!! my patrol was a fish so we were going blurb blurb.. the leaders are so naughty, they confused some of us. haha. stayed up until 2am to help tingxin with the praise and worship songs for tmr's sunday service. she wanted me to play keyboard with her guitar, oh well. tried to help felly with the sharing of christianity. think and think, like what in the bible has somthing to do with creativity? came out with the real meaning of christmas and how Man's creativity twisted it to become a festival of mistletoes, presents and other stuff. couldn't find anything else. oh well.

the srumptious sinfully heavenly stuff (how oxymoronic)

our bell chicken

newspaper fish

last day of camp for most but not me. sunday morning went to the chapel early to find that there is no keyboard. oh well. tingxin is on her own now. the praise and worship went ok. we sang every move i make, did you feel the mountains tremble, above all and heart of worship. ting xin pulling pulled it off overnight! you go girl!! we should all jam one day. followed by tent striking and untying of gadgets. i was oiling pegs like crazy! haha. oily hands! went around to take pics with people, soon after perfecting self taking (sadly can't post my self taken pics here, can't show pics of myself here) was really tired after all that. went home and immediately hit the bathroom followed by unpacking and MY BED!!!z Z Z Z Z...

still had to wake up early for POST CAMP. rather its like just clearing up. powdering tents= powedery hair, powdery feet, powdery hands. striked the canvas tent, cleaned safari beds. then there was a change of plan. tmr the leaders are going to the old folks home in woodlands for some CIP for our Puan Noor Aisah award thingy. in the meantime, sangee, fern, and me was being really random. we composed a new song in the tune and sequence of 'on the first day of christmas' carol. here it is from number 12.

today

cabbed to the old folks home in woodlands. was stationed at the small coffee shop with intan to help the stall holder. he didn't need help so we ended up playing table soccer with this pro old man who beat both of us 66:7 arggh! played for abt 2 hours and the old man was not even tired! later helped in the laundry with sewing. went sewing sewing sewing sewing sewing sewing and more sewing until the end of the day.

gotta go! bye!

KC's team is in the background of that pic.
ok, whoever wrote this article made this casual remark wrong! i merely said that youths like me won't read newsletters that dun have fun bits in it and she/he put it in the general term of 'people'. like i know some people who can read anything, whether it is interesting or not. i think she/he paraphrased it a lil off.

yup, u guessed it, an article about yesterday's event at SPH, the competition training. (ref yesterday's entry)

breakfast was followed by numerous SMSs which were regarding this article, oh well. my handphone bills will definetly shoot up this month.

will not be bloggin for a week 'cause of guides camp. byebye :)
