I went to the campfire hosted by Anglo Chinese School ( Independent ) and it was very fun. It was also a bit scary as there were zombies lurking around which almost scared me to death... I was almost deafened by the screaming and shouting too. But the seniors were very pretty. :D And they put up a great performance although i didnt know why they never won... As it was raining, we went indoors and could not go outdoors. D: The girl beside me kept on screaming and when i opened my mouth to scream, all that came out was a squeak. Maybe i haven't screamed for too long already.. T.T On the whole, the campfire was very interesting and fun. :D I hope that i can go there again~ :]

The campfire was quite fun though there was no fire at all. The concert peformance was quite ok although some parts were quite boring. I thought the seniors(sec 4)danced really really well although they did not win. I thought that they were the best as they were quite synchronized in their dance movements. Back on the bus the seniors were quite sad as it was their last campfire. The sec 4 will be leaving soon and that's so sad. The sec 4s rock! They are the best sec4s we ever had and will always be.

ACSI's campfire was really fun! Although it was not like what i expected with a fire in the middle,it was really fun. Especially when before we entered the hall, we are suppose to walk through the the stairs where they say that the people inside were infected by an epidemic and turned into zombies. We had lots of fun although it was scary and we screamed all the way through. There was lots of games and activities and all schools were really enthusiastic! The dance performed by the secondary fours from Anglican High was great! Although they did not win, all of us agreed it was the best ! In the bus the secondary fours sang to all songs enthusiastically we could tell they would miss campfires after they leave guides. Overall, this was the best campfire ever but i know in future in guides i would enjoy more fun campfires.

Yesterday was my first campfire, so I was quite excited but on the other hand scared as I was the ONLY sec 2!! Because of the rain earlier on, the campfire was held indoors and I was rather disappointed. Before we entered the hall, we had to pass a long passageway where there were some students dressed as zombies to scare us. Ying jia and some other sec 1 was screaming. After passing the terrifying passageway, we reached the hall. The first performance was a song performance which was quite interesting. Next up was a skit. I think the skit was rather boring because I couldn’t really hear what were they talking about(the audience was VERY noisy). The next item was games; the rule is to make the opponents laugh. This part was boring as well because what they said was only, “ I love you”, if it was me on stage, I would surely say my 秦始皇joke.

Next up was a dance performance put out by some of our seniors!!!! Deborah ma’am is SO pretty!!!!!! I was shouting like nuts, the dance is seriously out of this world. Then it was a continuation of the previous skit (I still can’t figure it out what is the actor saying). The next item was game called, “don’t forget the lyrics”. I thought it was going to be fun but was boring as well because the songs were all so unfamiliar to me.

That the end for the campfire, overall I think the whole campfire was quite boring, we don’t even get to sing campfire song and we didn’t won the dance competition. I expect the campfire to be outdoors next year.

Warning: heavy post!

The campfire we experienced at ACSI was a wholenew experience for me because it was the first time we had a campfire without FIRE or candles. However, i believe that every campfire is unique in its own way and the scout/guides that organised them had to put in tremendous amount of effort to make it happen. As a result, i would like to thank every single school that invited us to their campfire.

I have always enjoyed campfires especcially when i was a junior. Being a senior gives me new responsibilities and i have to make sure that our guides are always safe and IN-ONE-PIECE especcially in campfires and the frequent stampedes during the thousand-legged-worm cheer. However, now that it is the last campfire for our batch, i'm starting to feel that all the worrying for juniors is worth it as long as i get to get my buttock on the campfire bench:)

At ACSI, Ahsgg did our first performance at campfires (the batch before us did perform at campfires before but since 2008, this was the first time ahs gg put up a performance). Although it was our first time, it marked a beautiful end to our last campfire.

Our dancers(Deborah, Jasmine, Yijing, Evangelin, Venus and myself) had numerous practise sessions frequently weeks before the campfire and i would like to thank Venus especcially for cheorographing our dance and spending so much time on it:D I would also like to thank the other dancers who stayed back for practises although many a times we were very busy.

On the day of the campfire, dancers came to school early to rehearse our dance. We rehearsed outside grotto and it was raining cats and dogs. Subsequently, we changed into our uniform and waited for the bus to arrive.

13 sec4s, 6sec1s and 1sec2 attended this campfire and of course the ahs falcon scout sent about 10 scouts for this campfire. We shared the bus and reached ACSI shortly. At ACSI, we waited near the gateway while the ACSI Scouts and Ventures did some preparation for the indoor campfire. Due to the heavy rain, the campfire had to be held indoors. Dancers went to one of the classrooms to change and get ready for the performance.

We met the other guides at the auditorium after changing and waited for everyone to be seated. Next, we watched numerous performances that were planned really well and interesting. However, i believe that the microphones werent very clear and most of the skids couldn't be heard clearly. Overall, i feel that the whole ACpedemic theme was awesome and every performance put up (be it the chij toapayoh dancers, hwachong bboys, acsi ventures, acsi scouts or ahsgg) were awesome because it played a part in making our last campfire what it was. Kudos to everyone present at the campfire!

Dancers were backstage awaiting for our turn to perform while we played around with starwars mask, and talked our time away. (by the way, the scout who ate the monkey tied the monkey on his neck while he was backstage. HAHA) Lights dimmed and we went into positions and started our dancing. Mr-monkey-eater poured some red juice on the ground previously in the skid and some of our dancers had to step on the juice. However despite the lack of space and nervousness, i believe that all 6 of us did an awesome job!:D

We enjoyed refreshments and headed back to AHS.

On the bus, sec4s sang our hearts out. Campfire songs. It was the last time we get to sing it that loudly! However, i believe that we would remember these songs and remember all the happy times we spent at campfires. It was a non-stop campfire song karaoke session on the bus and I gave it all out to singing them. Thank you sec4s who did likewise and made a beautiful mark to our last campfire while we sang Canadian Vesper one last time.

Thanks everyone for making my last campfire such a memorable one. Thanks Ms Ng for giving the dancers support and helping me with the booking of bus. Thanks sec4s, we've really made poor bus-driver-uncle deaf on our way to ahs! Thanks jrs for being so cooperative. Thanks scouts for not giving me any major trouble this time:D
