CARNIVAL PREPARATIONS
Yesterday’s activity was a rather quiet one, partly because there wasn’t any games or PT (or anything which dictated the juniors to scream), and also because many sec 3s went for OBS. How sad. (Just Kidding!)
We had carnival preparation for the entire day so we’d be able to finish everything before Saturday. Activities like Modules were also scrapped to make time for this.. HAHA! Ok anyway.. cutting of badge templates wasn’t very well done (especially the ‘Colours of My Life’ badge). Wow! I feel angry/enraged/livid already. BUT I ALSO FEEL SORRY. HAHA. Ok maybe you’re not supposed to say ‘Haha’ when you’re apologetic. Sorry for not getting the right measurements before we printed the templates. Yay.
Next.. Painting. Now I know what’s the thing called ‘talent’. Some people like Wen Jing can photocopy really well! I seriously don’t see the need for inventions like the scanner and printer or camera or photocopier now. Just kidding! I like to exaggerate a lot.
As far as my dysfunctional brain can properly recall, the banners and posters and mascots were REALLY well done!!! Even though it wasn’t completed in 10 seconds or something, it was still a feat considering the fact that everyone managed to complete the stuff within that one single single single single morning! (Other than minor touch-ups needed here and there)
Before my minuscule brain goes kaput, I shall end off by thanking every one for being socially responsible by not spreading the H1N1 virus!! I wanted to thank every one’s lucky stars but I soon realised we can’t see stars in the day. Heeeeheeeeee.
Oh yes! Before I forget.. I think we should thank MAGGIE for editing and printing the extra 101/102/103 badges (I forgot how many). That probably saved the company from (17 x 1.50) $25.5! YAY HAHA!
I shall end my reflection now.. Regular or irregular reflection?

Today, we had a few hours of carnival preparations, starting off from the badge-making. Firstly, the juniors were to cut out the badge templates for the ICs to start making the badges. It was pretty amazing that over a hundred badge templates were cut out in a short period of time. Woots!
Next up were the banner, mascot and posters preparations. The sec 1s and 2s were divided into a few groups and each group was given a certain task to work with. The beginning part was sort of disorganized at first, but we still managed to keep to schedule. The banner, which was done by I-can’t-remember-what-patrols, was really really really awesome! Without any supervision, they sketched out the difficult design and did a good job in painting the banner. As for the mascots, they turned out fine (especially the beanie mascot- so cute!) and for the posters, they were well-done. The posters were almost an exact replica of our proposal.
However, the ICs felt that despite the really good quality of the decorations, we still saw some juniors slacking when they could have the initiative to help out their fellow guides. That’s what bonding is all about, yea? Help out each other!
So overall, today’s carnival preparations were successful. Yay!
