Hi Hi!
We had an unofficial meeting today from 2.45pm to 4.45pm. We fell in at 2.45 and changed out of our pinafores after reporting strength. Then, we fell in again and the PLs told us to choose at least 2 Secondary 1s for each patrol and teach them the basics of footdrills.

We started off by re-capping on what we taught them last week: fall in and fall out. When they were sure of what to do, we moved onto 'kekiri', kekanan' and 'keblakan'. Those who had time managed to squueze in abit of 'hentak kaki jepat hentak'. It was challenging for us seniors to teach some of the juniors as they were either too shy or simply had no respect for the seniors. :( This clearly made Cheryl very upset.

After awhile, those who were chosen to march for Total Defence Day had to start practicing. The people who are marching are: PLs, PSes, Chomel, Dion, Si Ying, Yong Qi and a few others which I cannot remember. Reserves are Bhavani and Olivia.

We started off by practicing on our own and later proceeded with combining with Red Cross to have the full effect. We did it many times, having breaks after each round. Finally, we stopped and Pamela gave us a break before making us do footdrills to sharpen our skills for Friday's big event. Then, we practiced for a few more times before ending off there.

As the Secondary 2s were new to this, there were sone parts which they were not too familiar with such as the raising of our right fists. It was supposed to hover but they rested it on their hearts so the PLs corrected them. As always, the most difficult was the 'left, check, over' part. Once we turned our heads, our formation would start to slant to one side so we tried our best to adapt and ensure that the formation would not tilt as much as possible.

After awhile, 4.45 pm came so we fell in and listened to announcements before falling out and going home.

Yup. So this is how Monday's meeting went. Until then, CIAO!

Regards, Melissa! :)
