Hi Hi!
We had an unofficial meeting on 13 January, from 2.45pm - 4.45pm. Again, like the previous meeting, we were going to do the last few bits of our preparation for CCA Orientation Day. We fell in at 2.45pm and reported strength before changing out of our pinafores. The PLs then told us to go to an empty classroom and it was there that we continued to work on the final details of our 'gifts and stickers' and while everyone was busy with their own tasks, the PSes had asked permission from the PLs to use the time to do the Thinking Day Banner as it would be due on the coming Friday.
They agreed and with that, we immediately started work without wasting any precious time. Ada, Brenda and I painted the vines while Dorothy and Sherwynn worked together to bring the last guide to life. Sherwynn's artistic skills are brilliant! :D Then, YA came out and offered us her help. We politely declined, knowing that this was our job and it was not right to accept the help from someone else who was not responsible for this. So she returned to the classroom and checked on how everyone was getting along.
However, a few moments later, she came out again nonetheless and this time, without hesitaing, propped herself on the floor and told us that she wanted to help. We definitely felt grateful to her and thanked her. Soon, when the guide had been drawn, Dorothy, Sherwynn and YA started to paint the block letters that read 'ONE FAMILY'. They painted it yellow and I thought it was beautiful. As time went buy, our arms were starting to get tired from all the painting so Ada was smart enough to add a hint of fun to our assignment. She dabbed a tinch of green paint onto my legs. In playful revenge, I too dabbed some paint on her and not wanting to leave Brenda out of the 'fun', I dabbed some paint onto her legs as well. After all that playing, we got back to work and did it with more ease after having been able to relax for awhile.
Then, we had to paint some texts blue and in the midst of painting, Ada and I suddenly gasped. We had realised the same thing. The blue paint was of exactly the same tone as the complexion of the 'Naveens', characters from 'THE AVATAR'. We both decided to paint one of our palms blue as we were fascinated at the thought of being a 'Naveen'.
Soon, time passed so quickly and 4.45pm had come. We had had so much fun and even through that, we managed to finish painting the banner with the exception of the Girl Guides. Those were to be left for the next day. At 4.45pm, we fell in and announcements were made about CCA Orientation Day. We were then dismissed and before leaving the compound, we thanked the guider, YA and the PLs.
So .. This is the end of another Guides meeting, with many more to come. Especially the next - CCA Orientation Day.
Signing off here, Melissa! :)
