Campcraft Stuff

hello hestia!! 
(I tried typing this out in the WhatsApp group but it was too long so I decided to post it here instead)

There are a few things that we have to settle (?) for our squad's camp-craft stuff :)

Twine
The same people have always had to purchase/bring/cut the twine which the entire squad uses. Please take initiative to CUT AND BRING any twine you have leftover from last year's AC. Some people did not want to buy more twine (as a squad) because they still have twine leftover from AC. However, not everyone brought their twine to use. 
When we have used all the twine, we can order 30 rolls again from Popular ($3.25/person) and keep them in the squad locker. :)

Camp-craft test
We will be having a camp-craft test in August, and we will need at least 50% to get our camp-craft badge. Everything (except lamp lighting) will be tested. Do study for it and clarify with any of us if you are unsure of anything!

Tent-pitching
Some people are still unsure of some knots, or do not have a sense of urgency, or are unsure of what to do. Put in 101% of your effort - I can guarantee you that it will pay off eventually (whispers 10 minute record). If you are unsure of any knots, you can clarify them with the other 14 of us. We won't bite :D. Do read through the previous blog post about how to pitch the tent (posted before ATC). 
          - Practice all the knots at home and aim to tie them faster and faster!
          - Train your arm power at home when you are free!

Okay that's all jiayou hestia we can acheive many things together :)

Tent Pitching Record

hello hestia!!

Yesterday was quite a good day for us because we (the lonelies *cue lonely by akon*) managed to beat our tent pitching record! We've come so far since our first tent pitching session in Sec 1 (55 minutes for a tent with poor tension hoho), and I'm sure we can soar to greater heights in the near future! Let's continue working hard, and hopefully achieve 10 minutes for a 4-man tent :D
Jiayou Hestia! We can do this! :)

im v happy :-)

post title v weird ik but for the lack of a better title ok!!
so during ndc practice on tues, we actually hentak for 7 mins (woohoo) and i think none of us knew we could do that bc we were all like "eh 2 mins? 3? 4?" and if we didnt end up choosing to hentak for as long as we could we probably still wont know that we can actually hentak for so long.
and during friday's parade we all did 49 crunches (not all of them were proper ones but still) !!!
vv proud of us hurhur
even though during both times not the full squad was present but i think as a full squad we can do even better yes
i still cant get over my post title if anyone has a better title help me change it ok

random

When we reached there, we were actually early (sort of) but several other schools were already there which was quite unexpected idk but there were also a few schools that were vvv late and ended up delaying the whole schedule otl but i appreciate that the crescent girls were trying to keep everyone entertained by telling lame jokes HAHAH our group ic was rly friendly too huehue. anw the first round of games was some fighting one HAHAH idk pls do not judge and we were cheering damn hard bc cheering gives you points lel AND THEN VAL HAS THIS V COOL WII HACK HAHAH LIKE OTHER PEOPLE CANNOT ATTACK YOU this is v cool im sorry yep so my team got into the second round but the other team didnt so they went to play some random games at the field. Second round was table tennis yes i cant serve HAHAH WHISPERS VAL IS ALSO A FUTURE (virtual) TABLE TENNIS PLAYER im srs she won like almost every round even against guys HAHA damn cool ok. and then we got into the finals which was like kinect(?) ive never played it in my entire life AHAH jk i have no life so we were like being damn noob HAHHAHA controlling the screen is v hard i swear. it was quite sad that we didnt win bUT i think we all gave our best so theres really nothing i regret. it was also a new experience HAHA wii and kinect yes its not bad considering some of us are first timers hue we also got to interact with the other schools yas zhonghua was there guys hohoho and get to hear about other peoples np journey. overall it was just v fun (oH GOD MY VOCAB IS)
