Heya!
This is the 2nd day of the Secondary1 Orientation Campfire (better known as cleaning up day).

We were woken up by Cheryl at 7.00am and she told us that fall in would be at 7.30. Everyone rolled up their sleeping bags and grabbed their toiletries and headed for the washroom. After washing up, we changed into our socks and shoes and brought all our belongings down to the canteen. The PLs then fell us in. PSes reported strength and we were given 45min to have our breakfast.

When we were done eating, we fell in again and were told to start clearing up. We were also expected to finish by 10.30am. Item immediately started to transport back the podiums but we had a little bit of difficulty this time as they were a tad bit damp. It was disgusting. But we still managed to finish way before time and so went to collect the groundsheets which were left hanging at the fitness corner overnight to dry by Natalie. Some had not dried yet so we folded the ones which were dry and brought the rest to the parade square where the sun was shining brightly to sundry it. That process was rather fun as Charis, Ada and I found a fun and quick way to dry it: Hold it at the corners and run like the wind for a short distance. At the end, they were much more dry. However, we could not apply our newly-discovered method as it would be too tiring to keep running. So we stuck to the original plan. While waiting for them to dry, we helped firepit clean up too.

After that, we got a 3min water break and soon fell in. Kai Li told us that we were going to be given 10min to go around places that we had used the day before and pick up any pieces of trash. The canteen was squeaky clean so we all went to the parade square. There were pieces of paper, spoilt twine and others there. When 10mins was over, we fell in again and Kai Li told us to give ourselves a round of applause as we had finished clearing up ahead of time. :D Yay! For that, she was going to help us buy bubble tea, but not treat us. However, not everyone wanted so the PLs brought our a huge bottle of green tea and rose syrup from the Den, together with disposable cups and bowls.

In the midst of resting and quenching our thirst, Kai Li wanted us to give our comments on the whole campfire stay and also wanted us to give our comments about each PL, individually. This was because they wanted to know what we thought of them and if there were any flaws, they would gladly improve. The whole motive of this session was because we were going to have a camp during the March vacation. It was going to be a 3 Day 2 Night camp that the coy would be planning together, without the interference of the PLs except the logistics and such. When all this discussion was over, we did footdrills for awhile and later were dismissed promptly at 12pm.
Okie doke. My post on the campfire is finally over.

Warmest regards, Melissa! :)
