#3 - Thinking Day o9 excursion to Hort Park
-Ally
Today we had combined excursion with scouts!=)
We went to Hort Park! For the first part, we played games in the Park. It was quite fun!!!
Then we went for a short hike. It was around 4km.
We hiked from Hort Park to Vivo City...
For the hike we walked on a bridge, something like a tree top walk.
Some of them were scared as they were afraid of heights.
But the scenery from up there was nice!
After the hike ended, we sat at a grass patch and ate the snacks.
They announced the results for the games too.
On the way back to school, most of the guides slept in the bus...
And yupp dats all for our excursion. ^^

Heys! It’s thinking day! GIRL GUIDES and SCOUTS had a combined activity at HARBOURFRONT ;D
We started at hortpark which we played our station games ;DDD
The first station game was BUNDLES of JOYY!!
Basically you have to go through a series of events tied up together AS A PATROL!! ( with scouts )
Yays!
The station masters were Hwee Feeee(n) and Jeremy or!
The second station game was BODY ENGLISH!
The guides and scouts were given two close passage each. Then one representative from both guides and scouts from each COMBINED patrol were pulled out.
The other members of the combined patrol will then thus fill in the blanks and have to use their ‘body’ to act out the word and the representative will have to guess the word ;DD
So cool!
The station masters were Mandy and Menghowe
The third station game was GUESS THE NAME!
Well. the game is just about how fast and accurate u can shout the persons name.
A groundsheet was placed in between the two combined patrol ;D
Then they will send a representative to the front of the ground sheet. The ground sheet will drop and the person who shouts the opponents FULL name the fastest and most accurate is the WINNER!!;D
The station masters were Clara and Qi Wen
The FINAL station was the BALLOONS station ;D
It’s the COOLEST station of all! ;D
Well firstly each member of the combined patrol were given TWO balloons and TWO rubber bands each. Then they will have to tie it to their leg and the objective of the game was to BURST the opponents balloons ;D
Of course, it wasn’t just so simple!
Teams will have to link their arms together to form a circle :D and together as one, they will then attack the opponents balloons ;D
This games promotes bonding between the members ;D
The station masters were Charlene and Dave ;D
After the games, we had a short hike from HORTPARK to VIVOCITY ;D
It was a 4km hike up to MOUNT FABOUR and back down to the HARBOURFRONT mrt station ;D
Leading the hike was Charlene and Dave, in the middle was Hwee Fen and Jeremy Or, at the back was Menghowe and Mandy.
The first landmark we passed by was the Alexandra arch. It is the BIGGEST arch in Singapore ;D
It was beautifully shaped polished with a fresh coat of white paint ;D
Next up, was forest walk. It was a raised platform up to the canopies of the forest made of solely metal to prevent the ‘friendly residents’ of the forest from eating away the path ;D the platform was pretty high up so some of our fellow guides got scared ;D but not to worry the platform is very safe. Although the opening of the platform was delayed.
Moving on, we had a short toilet break and we arrived at Henderson waves. The view was spectacular. It was a bridge with a very unique design that looks like waves with are actually shelter for passer-bys to take a break ;D
We had our company photo there ;D as the view was the best and it was spacious enough.
Next up, we walked the HILLTOP walk with is just basically walking up a hill, Mount Fabar, it was a short trip up although quite tiring ;D
Lastly, the last walk was the MARANG TRAIL.
The last trail was quite dangerous as the roads were not properly made as this last trial is just a short walk with nature.
FINALLY, the day ended with a short patrol interaction and a prize ceremony ;D
The points were awarded to the patrols during the games.
In third place, there was a tie between orchid and sparrow
In second place, it was dove
In first place, it was flowerpecker
After the prize presentation, we headed back to school and was dismissed ;D
It was indeed a tiring but fun day ;D and I hoped everyone enjoyed themselves as much as I did ;D
I also hoped the seniors really enjoyed their last thinking day together with the AHS company. Have a good day ;D
