Yoz!
Long time no post. Haha. It's been 50 days since I've last posted so I must try to get back to the normal posting tone. Alright, serious now.
An official meeting was held on 28 October from 2.30 - 5.30pm. We fell in at 2.30 and were told to change out of our pinafore. Then we had to get our stationery (pen and paper) and head to R401. Before we headed off, the PLs told us to brisk walk ourselves there without making any noise as there was an ongoing 'O' level examination.
We soon got to the classroom and found ourselves seats and started talking among ourselves. The PLs told us to lower our volume and we did..but only for a few seconds before it returned to its original volume. They repeated this for a few more times until Cheryl got mad and told us to SHUTUP! :0 This brought on a mini lecture from the PLs. Firstly, they asked us if we thought that we should be scolded but no one answered. Then, they told us the things that they were unhappy about :
1. Not greeting the PLS
2. Not having a sense of urgency
3. Not listening to the PLs
After that, we were informed that Secondary 4 farewell would be held on 19 November and the long awaited bonding camp would be from 23 - 24 November (which I can't attend). PSes were told to go to a separate classroom where a mini meeting was held. Kai Li, Natalie and Nia were present to talk to us. They first asked us what went wrong about an sms issue, our plans for the initiative, whether we had any problems with our patrol members and our opinion of the juniors (Secondary 1s). We then told them about whatever problems we were facing and Kai Li recorded all the important points in her trusty recording device (handphone). :)
Also, while discussing about the initiative, Natalie gave us some tips especially for activities which would be under organisations, namely SPCA and St Luke's ElderCare. She advised us not to set a confirmed date as the proposal would still have to be reviewed. Listening to our plans, both Kai Li and Natalie voiced out their opinions whenever they thought something had to be corrected. However, we soon had to move to another area as the janitors told us we were not allowed in the classrooms due to the examinations. Thus, we moved to the canteen.
Both the components, Item and Backdrop, were in the canteen while Structure and Firepit were around the Parade Square. Discussions and plans soon started and Item planned to finish writing the script by that day's meeting so we were racking our brains to come up with a good script. Meanwhile, poor Kai Li was having trouble getting the Backdroppers to do stuff. As they had already finished designing the backdrop, they had nothing else to do so Kai Li told them to do something but they did not want to so she got very upset. She came over to Item territory and complained to Natalie. Being a good friend and a strict PL, she scolded Backdrop and then split them into two groups before assigning duties. As they were taking their own sweet time to move, Kai Li started shouting at them. It was then that they all decided to hurry.
Soon, 5.25 came and we fell in at the Parade Square. Announcements were made and we were then dismissed.
Alrightie, this is the end. I'm going to zzz now.
Love, Melissa! :) *zzz-ing*
