Hi :)

Friday 21st November 2008 7.55- 1pm
Official Meeting- Sec 4 Farewell

Sec 4 Farewell

It was certainly a memorable and enjoyable day for everyone, especially our dear seniors who have sadly left us. :( Seniors, thanks for everything you did for us, we'll definitely remember and cherish them!

We fell in at 7.55 am, and Kingfisher Patrol was in charge of the flag. So we fell in and marched into the horseshoe formation. The flag was broken successfully, and after we said the Promise, we all fell out and went to change into our P.E attire. Then we fell in, and went up to the hall to rehease our items for the performance later.

The PLs set up the tables and chairs and decorations while Dove and Flowerpecker Patrol performed first, but not every patrol had the chance to practise as there were some technical difficulties. Next, we had to change into our Guides uniform to get ready for G.O.H. The PLs made sure that we were neat and tidy, and then we went to the corridor outside the hall.

We fell in and marched into our G.O.H positions. We were reminded not to respond or react even if our seniors were to disturb us later on. As there were some problems with the flag pole, some guides went down to the field to help. We stood for quite a while (as we were quite early). Fortunately, we were given some time to rest in between. :D

Finally, our seniors arrived. Some of them took photographs of us, while others tried to make us laugh or removed our badges and spectacles and untied our scarfs, especially Xiu Hui :) We also gave them gifts. When they were done with "disturbing" us, they were ushered into the hall while we fell out and went backstage to change.

This year's theme was something like Farewell Olympics, therefore, all our patrol items were somehow related to it. Our seniors have spent 4 years in Guides, and it is known that once every 4 years, countries meet up together for the Olympics. And the 5 rings of the Olympics represented our Sec 5 seniors.

Tristina and Qarissa were our emcees, and they introduced each patrol before we performed. Dove and Flowerpecker Patrol did a combined item, which included a small skit and a dance. Kingfisher Patrol was up next, and there was also a dance. Mynah Patrol was up next, and their item included an Olympics track event. This was followed by Oriole Patrol, and their performance ended with a song. Finally, Sparrow Patrol performed, and the item ended with an original poem dedicated to all our seniors.

Last but not least, we had the PS item. This included a small skit and a few dances. Then, everyone went onstage to sing our dedication song-"You'll be in my heart", by Phil Collins. There was also a powerpoint presentation prepared by our PLs. After that, we had a "cake-cutting" ceremony. Then, all of us ran backstage to change back into our Guides uniform and rushed downstairs to prepare for the party, while our seniors had a photo-taking session.

When our seniors were done, they went down to the canteen to get the party started. Sparrow said grace. :) There were lots of good food, sparkling juice, and everyone mingled around and had fun. Our seniors also received gifts from us, and some of them had also prepared presents for us too. Thank you! After a while, we all helped to clean up. Next, we proceeded to the field to take COY photographs.

As it was already past 1pm, we all fell in. Mrs Tan was there too and she asked someone to represent all our seniors to say a few words. Xiu Hui told us that they were quite surprised by the effort some of us have put in, as they expected otherwise. But overall, they did enjoy themselves. :) Then we fell out, collected our wallets and went back. Our next meeting will be on the 22nd December, to prepare for the Sec 1 Orientation next year.

Yup, that's about it. Oh, the photographs for Sec 4 Farewell and South Division Day will be up soon. Sorry for the long delay. :(
