Hey Hey Hey!
We had an unofficial meeting on 24 March from 2.45pm to 5.45pm. PSes were going to take over the 1st half of the meeting as the Secondary 4s would be having their NAPFA at that time.

Each PS fell her patrol in by height, all facing the Home Econs Kitchen and then had inspection. After that, Sherwynn read out the agenda of the day. Next, we 'kekanan poseng'-ed them to become the normal fall in pattern (indian file). Following that, we gave them 2 minutes to change out of their pinafores and assemble back at the fall in venue. There, we fell them in again and we told them to get their Guides Shirt Designs while the rest were to look for an empty classroom.

While everyone ran to find a classroom, Charmaine went to get her songsheet for campfire songs and cheers. In the meantime, Mrs Tan was having a short talk with the PSes, introducing a new member to Guides: Shermaine! :D She was later put in Dove patrol. :D Meanwhile, I was in the classroom keeping an eye on the coy while waiting for the songsheet to arrive. Ada soon came and I told her to take over while I went to look for Charmaine. When I reached the parade square, I saw Shermaine with Mrs Tan and the PSes. I then brought her to the canteen while exchanging our names with each other. I waited for her to change out of her pinafore and then we ran back to the classroom together. By then, all PSes were present so we introduced Shermaine to the coy and soon, we got started on practicing songs and cheers.

We began with the classic 'Adiji Yell' followed by many other well-known songs and cheers, going down the list. Qarissa was also present to supervise us and we had tons of fun engaging with the coy and singing with them. My favourite is 'Boom Chika Boom'. It's so full of life and fun! Yay! Haha. :D In between practices, Mrs Tan would occasionally pop her head through the window. I think she had been outside the classroom all along but she did not want to come in. So she just popped in to have a feel of the atmosphere. Haha. :D

Soon, 4pm came and the PLs made their appearance at the classroom by shouting in unison, "GUIDES! HOW DO YOU FEEL?!" And we answered in unison, ever so loudly, "WE FEEL GOOD *CLAP* OH WE FEEL SO GOOD *CLAP* OH WE FEEL SO, OH WE FEEL SO, OH WE FEEL SO GOOD! HA-HA-HA!". It ended with everyone roaring with laughter. That was when the PLs took over our job and we retreated back to the ground. Then, they decided to test each patrol on a random cheer/song. All patrols did rather well but for those who were quite soft, the coy boosted their voices by singing along too! Coy spirit! Yay! :D

Then, when they were done testing us, Kai Li spoke to us about the upcoming campfire that we would be hosting. She said that Ms Soh had actually wanted to call off the campfire as she felt that preparations were taking up too much of our precious time which could be used for completion of testings to help us earn our badges etc. Thus, Kai Li said that if we wanted to carry on with our campfire, which everyone agreed with, we would have to spend the rest of that day's meeting doing testings. Each person was to complete at least 1 testing.

Everyone soon got to work, studying as hard as they could to do their part in making the campfire a success and for those who did not have handbooks with them, we shared. When some of us had finished studying a particular testing, we would go up to Natalie to request from her to give us the question paper and we would do our testing. Very soon, 5.30pm came so the PLs told us to finish off whatever we were doing and prepare for fall in. Those who were still doing their testings, they hurriedly finished it and those who were not doing testings, they kept their stuff and waited patiently with the occasional lookout to see if any of the PLs had fallen in.

A few minutes later, everyone heard a 'FALL IN!' sounding from somewhere and we all rushed to the fall in area. There, announcements were said and taps was sung. The coy bersurai-ed and before collecting our wallets, we thanked Qarissa and the PLs present.

Long long post,
Melissa! :)
