Here to post again[:
I went on a blog tour just now.
Looking at blogs of people whom I know and don't know, just by clicking on links and ending up at different places.
So I was touring around then I somehow chanced upon a Yr 4 guides senior's (otherwise known as Young Adult Leader) blog.
Her name is Selina.
Formally from Patrol 1.
I saw one post about Guides.
It's about the irreversible cycle of the standard decreasing every year and how slack our ATC is gonna be compared to those in the past years.
I have to agree to that.
We won't have any camp development, which means no building of gadgets, no campcraft etc.
Ok, that leaves us with first aid, basic first aid.
Then that makes us no different from St John's, or maybe worse? cos at least the Year 1s in St John's already know perfect CPR and perfect foot drill, evident from Tabitha's blog.
Well, at least there's a hike so we can practise our orienteering[:
And we are not sleeping in tents.
But bunks.
Which also means that we can't practise much about building tents.
Then won't we be as ignorant about all these stuff as the Year 1s next year when they start out?
Reading notes alone is not enough.
We have to get hands-on to really understand how to build things like fireman's ladder, suicide bridge etc.
And no offence, but I think we are less seh than the year 2s who started out as Year 1s in Guides last year.
At least every single one of them are willing to cheer during PT.
They at least have the "pia"ing spirit to hold in pumping postion for 30 mins.
"I have never seen so many people fall out."
Quoted from a Yr 3 senior when we were punished by holding in pumping postition for 10mins after inspection.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that those people who fall out are weak or faking it.
We only have 1 and 1/2 more years before we become Yr 3 seniors to lead the whole company.
It will pass by very quickly.
If we can't even be at least 80% as seh as our seniors, won't our juniors like fall under our hands?
I'm really sorry seniors.
We really have disappointed you all.
Maybe it would be better if our ATC was super tough.
I don't care how many evaluations there are.
I think that would wake all of us Year 1 guides up.
That we have to do our best.
Cos we'll no longer be total juniors.
But seniors to our Year 1s next year.
OMG ATC is just 2 more days!!!!
Time passes so quickly man...
Sighs neh...
I haven't finished packing and labelling.
I'm gonna buy another pair of canvas shoes tomorrow for the camp.
Well that's all for now[:
