Yesterday Parade

Soooo..... HI
I havent posted anything in such a long time [excludng rachels birthday post ahaha]
anyways, from the title of the post its pretty obvious im gonna write about yesterday's parade.
So, basically we did our basic drills and some of the new drills that were taught durin AC, oh and CI's came. When we did our drills, its very obvious we have to start improving our drills a lot, our basics were very bad. We have to practice more during recess guys.. Ma'am Rebecca said "Practice does.t make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect".... Okok hmmmmm we have to make sure everyone remembers the drills that have been taught, both new and old, if we ever want to learn any new drills. Jiayou guys, I know it stills feels weird because of the new NCO arrangement but we have to get used to it okai!!!! Btw, if anyone is unsure about any drills pleasepleaseplease ask any of us!! Because, we won't know if you don't ask!! Oh and CI's said they wanted full attendance by the 2nd next parade which is onnnnn 31 Jan, so pleaseee make sure you comeeee!!! Ok i talk too much ahahahah bye guys :-)

XDD NO OFFENCE INTENDED YEAH

HOPE WORLDWIDE (SINGAPORE) FLAG DAY

Hallo people

Karina wrote about this but oh well I'm gonna write another one.

I went for the first shift with Kar Wai, Karina, Valerie, Victoria, Apoorva, Jannah and Elizabeth (and 10 Astraia ma'ams and a few Zephyr ma'ams). The flag day was pretty fun but a bit tiring. I stood near the escalators and I think some people were kinda annoyed like
*goes up escalator*
*reaches the top*
*first thing he/she sees is me holding a donation tin*

However, most of them were quite nice and dug out a handful of coins from their pockets or wallets; and even those who didn't want to donate were still really polite about it. Some of them were really kind and still took the time to take out their wallets even though they were rushing to the MRT station to catch the train. I realised that parents with kids were more willing to donate and often gave their kids the money to drop into the tin. I think it's a good thing to teach kids to donate or contribute to their society since young.

It kinda felt like an achievement feeling the donation tin get heavier and heavier and see the sticker sheets getting emptier and emptier because it meant that more funds had been collected.

Generally, I had an enriching experience and I'd probably be more eager to participate in such activities in future :)


(There were only 8 people in the first session and I've listed out the other 7 you can go guess who I am)

Also there's this old video of a hamster it's really cute go watch it if you are free for 52 seconds and you like hamsters too yay

Flag day today :)

Today was the first flag day for most of us :) it was kinda fun really except for the part where some people criticise us but it was ok :P some of us like xin yi and jannah filled until so heavy meep me and kar wai's one was ok too but kar wai one was heavier haha. We stood at the field waiting for people but after dat I went to the staircase near nex's entrance got alot people :3 some people very generous giv $4 and when me and kar wai was doing tgt they gave us both to be fair so nice rite. Senior citizens are kinda nice too .  Never judge a book by its cover. Some people who you thot wl nv donate donated too . It kinda make different types of people all seem more friendlier the next time you see them outside. At least you know they have a kind heart. Anyways those in shift 1 took a pic. Thanks Elizabeth for the pic ^^

Annual camp'14

Why everyone all write so long but okay.
For me, AC is really a worthwhile experience and it gave Hestia a chance to bond as a squad and with our Astraia ma'ams. AC compared to a lot other activities is of course, tougher. But im really proud of Hestia because everyone put in a lot of effort and persevered till the end. We also learnt a lot of new things and improved on things that we had learnt before.
Since everyone all write in detail ill just write the more significant parts ya.
Night-walk. I expected night-walk to be really scary but it ended up being not that scary. The first station i went to had creepy pictures we had to look for and there were also ma'ams who had to scare us in the classroom. When i first entered, I felt quite scared but after awhile its actually fun trying to find the pictures. The second station wasnt scary at all because there were a lot of us together going in the station.
Fire drills. The first fire drill could have been better as there were miscommunications and we took very long to find casualties. But the second fire drill was a lot better because we took around 10 minutes (half the time we took for the first fire drill) to find casualties and assemble.
Campcraft. Together with Astraia ma'ams, we took 25 minutes to pitch a full tent!
Campfire (last but not least). Campfire was fun with all the cheers and performances and we all did well with our skit and dance performances.
All in all, AC is a very good experience. (closing so awkward lol)
