HELLO !
Wednesday’s meeting, on the 11th August, was from 2.45 pm to 5.45 pm. Due to the rain, the guides fell in at the sheltered area outside the chapel. After checking attendance and reporting strength, the guides were briefed on the agenda for the day. That day, the PLs, Sec 3s and two Sec 1s from the Starplus Programme were to supposed to be in the kitchen to cook --- to pass our Cook Profiency Badge !
The rest of the guides were to practice their footdrills under the command of the PSes who would be taking over for about ¾ of the meeting. The PSes had to train their patrol members and work on improving the tidiness of their footdrills, especially the Sec Ones who were unsure of their footdrills most of the time. After the Cook Badge Test, the PLs would check on the Coy’s footdrills to ensure that their PSes had done a good job.
All the rest of us gathered at the kitchen and we were briefed by Ms Soh and the Home Econs teacher on the safety precautions and proper usage of the equipment. Then, we were given about 1 hour and 45 minutes till about 4.45 pm to prepare our balanced meal. All of us were excited to begin.
Some of the main courses prepared were macaroni with pototao and egg salad, spaghetti, fried rice, shepherd’s pie, chicken kebab rice. YUMMY!:D The desserts we prepared were muffins, jelly, strawberry yogurt and different fruits. All of us had a whale of time cooking with our friends. At 4.45 pm, we started clearing up, washing the utensils, pots, pans and bowls that we used to cook. By 5.15 pm, Ms Soh invited the Home Econs teacher, Mrs Michelle Yeo (I think) to taste our dishes. Mrs Yeo was really an expert in cooking. One look at the dish, she could tell that the sauce was too dry, onions were not fully cooked, etc. But Ms Soh told her to be lenient with us. Heehee. SO EVERYONE PRESENT PASSED THE TEST (cooking portion only) ‼ HAHAHAHA! Yayy! :D
We spent the entire two hours cooking our dishes and took only 5 minutes to finish up the delicious, mouthwatering food that we prepared. How sad ):
At 5.25 pm, all of us vacated the kitchen and headed towards the Parade Square to check on the rest of the guides’ footdrills. There was a slight improvement as everyone could say check together on time for commands such as kekiri, kekanan, pusing. However, they failed to do so for keblakan (praise HanYi) We were also displeased and disappointed with their attire. Many girls were booked for wearing the wrong coloured bra as well as low socks.
At 5.40 pm, everyone gathered outside Computer Lab 4 for punishment. They had to run up two flights of stairs and down in 45 seconds for their poor behaviour and attitude. If they failed to complete in 45 seconds, they had to redo. As they managed to run to and fro in 1 min and 15 sec, they had to redo. On the second try, they managed to complete the punishment in 1m and 5 sec – an improvement! (:
At 5.45 pm, we fell out, sang taps, bersurai-ed, collected our wallets and went home. After guides, the PLs discussed on the winning patrol for the Best Patrol Award based on the quality of logbooks and number of guides who were booked.
Conclusion --- Best Patrol Award goes to SPARROW PATROL for they had the best logbook done and none of the members were booked by Dorothy. Second best is MORNING GLORY! :D Congratulations, and well done Sparrow and Morning Glory!
