Wassup!
We had an unofficial meeting today from a whopping 7.55am to 5pm! :0 Such a long time was needed as we had to prepare for both Secondary One Orientation Campfire and Secondary 4 Farewell. We fell in at 7.55 and were told to change out of our pinafore.

Secondary 1 orientation campfire preparation soon began. The various components went to their respective venues, ie: Item and Backdrop at canteen and Structure and Firepit at Parade Square. Everyone then started to get busy with whatever they had to do. The goal of Item was to finish making all the props, read through the lines and try to memorise them. Thanks to our hard work, we managed to achieve our goal. Yay! :) Backdrop was also getting along fine with their progress. Structure was busy tying Quadrapods and Firepit was busy soaking firewood in kerosene. However, as Firepit had run out of Kerosene, they spent their time helping Structure. How thoughtful! :)

Later when approaching 12pm, everyone was told to head to Computer Lab 4. There, we practiced the Secondary 4 Farewell dedication song with Kai Ying, ex PL of years 07/08. :) Firstly, she made us familiarise ourselves with the lyrics before getting each patrol to sing the 1st verse and chorus. Initially, we were shy to sing out loud so it took us awhile to break the ice. Soon, even without the music, we could sing without being shy about it! Progress! :) Lunchtime soon came at 1pm so we were dismissed from the lab and told that fall in would be at 1.45.

After we fell in when lunch ended, we went to an empty classroom on Level 4. There, we started with Secondary 4 Farewell preparation. Announcements were made by Nia such as:
1. Ask parents if they are alright with CCA going on when teachers are not present
2. Check if can attend both Secondary 4 Farewell and Bonding Camp

Then, we were given until 3.30 to rehearse before performing in front of the PLs. All patrols started planning their performances and some shifted to other vacant classrooms to rehearse too. However, as rehearsals took place, both Kai Ying and Eunice and her other friends came to request for volunteers for their project work. The volunteers would then have to dance randomly for 25 seconds. In an effort to persuade us, she even said that the video would not be posted on YouTube and it would be deleted after presenting. Soon, all the volunteers went to another empty classroom to perform. Getting everyone to dance and move was no mean feat. Everyone was so shy except for a few exceptionally enthusiastic ones. Eventually, it was only when Kai Ying and Eunice stayed then did we start dancing.

Following that, we had a little more time to rehearse before having to fall in at the open area next to the Parade Square. Announcements were then made, accompanied with comments from the seniors and YA before being dismissed.

As it was raining before, the knots of the structures that the Structure girls tied were extrremely tight. It took a lot of effort to untie them and on behalf of the coy, I would like to thank Kai Ying, Eunice and her friend Gabby for staying on to help us, even in the drizzle! :)

Ok. I shall stop here. Getting neck and back ache already. Haha.

Best wishes, Melissa! :)
