9th of March

Nothing much happened in camp today. But as i was heading back home in the train, i saw Huiyi again, and realised that she's going to meet up the rest of her classmates back in Sec school. So ciao hor. Never see never see one, once you start seeing you keep seeing.

Hmm~

Right, i got my mp3 player from the IT fair yesterday as well. $49 bucks for a Akira 1gb mp3 player which can also record stuff. This will help in the future..~

Ah yes, i went home a bit, then watched some Shakugan no Shana, and tinkled with my mp3 player for quite some time before heading down to sch at 7:30. First thing i saw when i entered was the Scouts all gathering at the flag pole for some ceremony, so i just sat down at the quadrangle watching. When all of a sudden, a muslim family decided to visit me and asked me if i have seen their BB boys.

I walked all around, and eventually told them that i have no idea where the BB kids are. And then i rejoined my scouts.

The only noticable difference was that there were 4 girls, and their uniform (almost typed no.3, occupational hazard) were like maternity dresses. I mean, their skirts were so long!

Looking at them, i suddenly just smiled to myself. Its so cute! A group of kids with their faces still so blur, and so small... ahhh!

In case you're wondering, its not just the girls lar, the guys also.

I managed to chat up one of them who had some gastric trouble, only to find out that she can see ghosts. liew, i never really talked to someone who could see them. Its like ghost whisperer in real life. How ironic that she's never seen the show before.

Anyways after the 'Investiture', we had some pizzas and KFCs for dinner, and after that it was time for the sec 1's to leave, while i had to teach the sec 2's first aid.

My aids for first aids were some medical stores in the very miserably badly stocked first aid kit, so i just taught them what each item was used for, taught them about heat exhaustion, and what to do when someone chokes. Not to mention chatting with them a bit lar.

i would like to add at this point that the sec 1's are really cute... aaargh!

Yes, the rest are not important, i got home, and tried to chat on msn, but this Linjie wasn't in the mood to chat, unlike yesterday. Tsk tsk.

Sometimes i feel like i really need to do some serious upgrading of my EQ skills..

Ah right, that's it for today, more updates tomorrow~

Sat - 130107 - HKS CCA Orientation

We were supposed to meet at 8am, but i woke up at 8 instead. Somehow my HP alarm was bypassed, and my emergency internal alarm acted instead.

Showered, then took a bus over to hks.

Went to the scouts section, saw all the badges and stuff on display. And also the scarves and equipment. The 'campsite' idea we had didn't turn out too well cause the tents looked kind of crumpled, the equipment rack looked kinda shabby, and beh.

I guess the rain really put quite a damper on stuff.

To make things worse, hks has a new CCA this year called the NDSCC ... after trying repeatedly to understand, i believe they're a sub-branch from the civil defence. They brought in a 'Rhino' from a nearby station, and actually put it near the canteen. I must admit, it looks pretty cool and shiny.

The 2 5 minute presentations were given to NCC and NPCC, where they did their fancy drills, as usual.

Okay, before i begin on the orientation proper, i must say i miss hks very much. A lot of the students here and now, remind me somewhat of the students back then, i'm starting to suspect they may be sisters or something.

Somehow i always feel a bit happier when i'm back in hong kah.. haha. Maybe because hks was more fun than study anyways.

Okay, when the orientation finally started, and the sec 1's got down from the hall, the rhino blasted their sirens, and allowed people to play with their spray guns. Wow, what a morale damper..

I forgot to mention, scouts this year are also recruiting females, since we have a female scout teacher, 2 female leaders, and also a sec 2 female, who decided to join us on her own.

Me and Weixiang decided to walk around as a group. We didn't specifically target females or males, just walked around first to get the feel of things.

Things didn't change much i think, people were still running all over, and surrounding the sec 1's over and over. At least this year we didn't have to chase the girls, though it was certainly an interesting thought..

At the end of it all, we got maybe 12-14 people, and we're hoping that the number will grow as they attend our activities in the near future. HK scouts recruitment numbers tend to drop by quite a lot by the 1st week... so .. ah well.

Time to ask myself what priority this is eh?

I miss hongkah, i like the people here.. at least they're less devious and more innocent then the people elsewhere.. haha.
