Guides Annual Camp'07 ~MelodyY

This year's camp was better than ever, though first night's outdoor cooking was screwed up by the rain and the last lunch was not very well-orgainised, overall, I'll give it a 9 out of 10 to the Sec 3 seniors for making this camp so fun (to me, at least).

SiYuan, Clarissa and Yuyi were quite disappointed to know that I wasn't picked to sleep in the 8-men tent with them. Good for them at least, they could stay together. I was the only Sec 2 in my bunk, and I had to ask the Sec 1s to accompany me. However, because of that, I was able to trick them to tell me where they hide their group's eggs! In this game, every group had 2 eggs to take care of, and by the end of the camp, which ever group with the most number of whole (not crushed) eggs would have bonus points! (hehe... cunning me, as always xD)

All the running and walking and cleaning up was tiring but I liked them, it was at least better than sitting down and doing nothing! I knew I had to do the cleaning, if not who will? Even if someone did it, she wouldn't have done it willingly, which means she would have just did it anyhow just to complete the job.

Oh, Farewell Nite was cool. Tribal Group had face paint, well, 'cause they were acting as people in an ancient tribe. Hip Hop Group, which I was in, performed a skit whereby "IN" HipHop kids were trying to introduce Hip Hop to their Granny, and guess who the Ah Mah was? Me. I got some face paint from Tribal and drew eyebags and wrinkles on my face. We even prepared powder to get my hair grey. I was wearing socks and slippers (like some Japanese style granny, which was super uncomfortable) and brought along the kampong straw fan as props. They worked well. At dinner time, everyone, including the band members and teachers and fellow guides were like "What happened to you?" or "Wah!" or "Crazy as ever." They told me that I seriously aged like 60 years in minutes! hahaha!

Former ma'ams came back. The '06 batch came back on the first night and talked to us. I was glad. Though they had already graduated for more than a year, they still hope to see a spark in TK guides. I want to help, and I will, because I know TK guides is more than what we currently are.

Next year's camp shall be even better than ever 'cause it's up to my batch to plan! I help in every way I can, and that's a promise! I won't wanna disappoint Mrs Tey, Mrs Ang, Mrs Yap and Mdm Azlin.

Before ending the year off, let's bade goodbye to the Sec 4s of 2007 for the effort they had put in to nurture their junior guides, and also Mrs Chan-Ho for all that she had done for TK guides for the years she had spent in TK (I think we should not remember the bad times we had with her, especially the last lunch).

Thank you Sec 3s for making my 2nd TK guides camp so memorable and enjoyable. I appreciated it a lot. In any case, I would like to help you people in any way I can as well. Sec 3 '07 guides ALL THE WAY!!!
