Hello guides :)
Take note that there won't be any activity on this friday, it would be one full day jihe on saturday instead.
Meanwhile, do take the time this week to pack the peibeis, first aid kit and send your respective PLs the proposals that you all were supposed to send by wedneday night. Also remember to pick kindlings and sand for your outdoor cooking.
Happy Teachers' Day to all guiders, teachers and jiayou everyone! :)
Love guides.

(Year 2)
Last Friday, we had jihe in our usual place for some skills training to polish ourselves up after the whole h1n1 break.
First, we had attire check, and after much reminders from the seniors, most had put in effort to buck up their attire. After that, we were split into groups to have skills training. The groups were P1 & P6, P2 & P5, P3 & P8 and P4 & P7. Meanwhile, the secones also practiced their lashing by building a luggage rack. This was probably the first time our sec ones had to get the mu themselves, so most of them did not know what was 中短木 or 短木. Hopefully, after this skills training session, you now know what they are!
-constant baoshi-ing
-practice lashes
-tuck in shengweis, standardise the direction of the knots, communications within the patrol.
-the measurer is a very important person.
-look after all the stuff.
For the sec2s, first we jogged in two lines to the track, and we first did leg raise, while 4 people were to do wheelbarrow, transport water and jump in a gunny sack. After that we changed to girls style pumping position and pumped 20. On overall, I feel that our cheering was quite constant :)
All in all, the spirit was there, but we need to buck up on our stamina! As we were all quite rusty already, most of our stamina deproved, and we did not give it all that we had.

For the sec 2s, I feel that our kitchen dresser was quite a disappointment, as we had to ask for time extension twice, and due to bad time management and manpower allocation, we also did not do it the way we intended in the first place.
Mistakes were made here and there, and the sec 3s helped to point out our mistakes and tell us how to improve. Although we had someone looking after the mu, they were still kupped, as we were not alert enough and had some miscommunication. There was this period of time when everyone was moving quite slowly, and not tying as fast as we ought to. Also, some people didnt know how to tie some knots, which slowed down the process.

There was this period of time when everyone was moving quite slowly, and not tying as fast as we ought to. Also, some people didnt know how to tie some knots, which slowed down the process.
There are many learning points from this skills training:
-manage manpower properly-constant baoshi-ing
-practice lashes
-tuck in shengweis, standardise the direction of the knots, communications within the patrol.
-the measurer is a very important person.
-look after all the stuff.
After that, we had PT, and there were 3 stations. the track, JH block third floor and JH block 5th floor.
For the sec2s, first we jogged in two lines to the track, and we first did leg raise, while 4 people were to do wheelbarrow, transport water and jump in a gunny sack. After that we changed to girls style pumping position and pumped 20. On overall, I feel that our cheering was quite constant :)
Next, we ran to the 3rd floor of the JH block, were we took turns doing leg launches and crabwalk, while the others did girls style pumping postition. Then, we did zhan ma for a while. Although the leg launches looked easy, they were in fact difficult. Our cheering helped to keep the morale up!In this station, we realised that although we are all tired and want to do things slowly, we should not slow down! If everyone goes as fast as they can, then the whole thing would be finished quickly, and our jie mates would not have to ding as long.
Our last station, two floors up, we had the wheelbarrow station. All of us were to ding boys style, and were given one chance to switch. We took turns doing wheelbarrow, and then jumping jacks. Although we cheered very much, there wasnt very good communication amongst us, as some of us were already very tired, and yet we did not request to change style. Despite that, the spirit was good and we cheered each other on.
All in all, the spirit was there, but we need to buck up on our stamina! As we were all quite rusty already, most of our stamina deproved, and we did not give it all that we had.
It is always the same people cheering, to the extent that the seniors even had to make us take turns cheering. Cheering can greatly boost moral , and when you all cheer together, time passes more quickly and you know that you are not the only one suffering.
ATC is coming soon, jiayou everyone! :)Love guides.

(Year 1)
Hello Guides! :)
We then had PT. It was quite sometime since we had PT and it took a while before we got used to it. The first station was the leg launches. We were required to be in girl's style pumping position/ eg raise while taking turns to do the leg crutches in groups of 4. It was the first time we did leg launches and we realised, although it looked simple, it was actually rather tiring. Constant cheering could be heard and this boosted our morale greatly.
We moved on to the second station which was the wheelbarrow station. We were supposed to be in boy's style pumping position while taking turns to do the wheelbarrow around the level. We could not stay for long and requested to change into girl's style pumping position. This served as a reminder that we needed to train our stamina.
Our final station was at the track. There, we did 20 jumping jacks, 20 sit-ups, 20 pumpings and ran 2 rounds around the track. We aimed to give it our best as it was the last station. Then we went back to the jihe area and had a short debrief. Although we had a strong morale this time, our physical standards were not up to standard. Some of us needed extra practice for pumping and other stuff.
We would try our best to work on our mistakes and to not repeat the same mistakes the next time. Although it was tiring, we learnt alot from today's jihe and hope to correct our mistakes before ATC comes. Jiayou all! :)

Hello Guides! :)
Today we had jihe. First, we had attire check. It went quite well, as our seniors had given us many warnings about standard attire and most of us made an effort to change our attire. After the attire check, we were split into 4 groups, each group consisting of 2 patrols, P1 & P6, P2 & P5, P3 & P8 and P4 & P7.
We were given 10 minutes to get the mu. There was a slight problem as we did not know what was 长木，中短木 and so on. After a while, we managed to figure things out and started on the baggage rack, using the proposal given by the Year 3s as a guide. Some groups couldn't finish making the baggage rack within the approximately 30 minutes time limit so we asked for an extentsion of 10 minutes.
After everyone has completed, we went around all the baggage racks and the Year 3s pointed out our mistakes. For example, we needed to practice our lashes so as to make them tighter and the structure more stable. We should take note of these things pointed out to us, so that we wouldn't repeat the same mistakes during ATC.

Hello Guides! :)
Yesterday the sec3s went to geylang police center for our national crime prevention badge talk.
We jihe-ed at 7.30am in school, then wu lao shi took some pics of us while waiting for the bus to come.Even though all of us were kinda sleepy, seeing each other wakes us all up and we went hyper and awake :D
When we reached there, we were first shown a short clip on how crimes happen in Singapore, and how we can help to prevent them.We learnt that preventing crimes is actually not all rocket science work, but merely common sense.However, these small details can be what help our country maintain such a low crime rate and makes our home a safe place to be.
Then, Mr Chong, the retired police officer who was in charge of us today, brought us around many different posters,Ranging from cyber cheating to phone call scams to robbery in lifts and homes.He was an engaging speaker, and interests us in all his questions and activities, plus he gave out police jacket for all of us who answered his questions! :) All of us got the jacket, including wu lao shi :)
This session lasted for less than 2 hours, but it is not the end of the tasks needed to be completed to get the badge! There's still the written test, poster and logbook to be done.
Jiayou guides let's do it together! :)

Hi guides :)
Yesterday we had the annual East Division Day in Dunman High School. Many schools came together to compete against one another in various competitions. The year 5s and guides had put in much effort in the planning and execution for this event. The year 4s also helped us in the deco, and also came back yesterday to help out. Hence the year 3s would want to express our gratitude to everyone who made this event a huge success.
In the morning, everyone jihed at 730 to finish up the things and ensure that everything was ready. A problem was encountered when we were told that Block D was not to be used and we had to replicate the table formation in the junior high block. However the problem was soon resolved. At 9am, the Guides and Brownies started streaming in. Some of the Guides acted as ushers and brought them into the hall for the opening ceremony. Very soon, the various competitions started and everyone put in their utmost effort in attempt to win. The various Guides ICs and facilitators appointed ensured to smooth progress of the competitions.
At around 12, the Guides and Brownies from other schools gathered together again for the prize-giving ceremony. Dunman High won a number of prizes which was a commendable effort. Well done to all!
Later on, we cleared up the areas we used and the day ended at around 3.30pm.
We hope that through this event, the Guides can learn to have a higher sense of urgency and alertness. There are still areas of improvement and we hope that you will remember what the year 5, 4s and 3s had told you all and put their words in actions. Soon you all will be having your ATC thus it is important to instill a sense of urgency and efficiency in yourself.
We believe that all of you are capable of achieving more hence please continue to strive for the better. Year 3s would hope to see an improvement for the next jihe, and hope that you all would take in what we said and correct your mistakes. If you all have any doubts about any lashes or skills, feel free to ask your year 3s or jie mates for help.
Jiayou all :)

Hello Guides :)
East Division Day was held at our school yesterday. We were informed in the morning that one of the Senior High blocks which we intended to use was not available. Hence, we had to arrange the tables over at the other neighbouring block the same way we did on Friday. Then, we moved around to help out the seniors by cleaning up the classrooms, pasting up signboards and etc.
As it was heard that the guides at the hall needed help for decoration, some of us went over when we were free. Decorations were done and that there was a problem with the fans and air-conditioners which was solved quickly. Those guides who were available at that moment had to usher the guides and brownies up as they had been waiting for some time at the parade square.
East Division Day officially started after all the schools had arrived and settled down. We had Stephanie and Xin Yi as our emcees for the day. The atmosphere was a little down initially but it eventually got better :) We had a singing session and sang songs like the "Cannibal King", "Gako the Frog", "Father Abraham has Seven Children" and "Ging Gang Goolie" together with the dance for it :D
As it approached somewhere around 9AM, we practised the Adiji Yell so as to welcome the Guest of Honour afterward. The Guest Of Honour soon arrived and we welcomed her with our voices :) She gave us a short speech before everyone was split up to go for their respective competitions at the different venues of the school.
We were supposed to return to the hall by 12PM but some of us reached earlier. While we were waiting, we were told to go over to the Senior High Block to help out with the clearing up. When we were done, we ran over to the Junior High Block to help out too. After which, we proceeded to the hall and had the Prize Presentation. It's great to see that we achieved 4 prizes out of the 8 competitions we participated in, with 3 of which being gold and 1 being silver :D! Congratulations guides!
Brownie Bells and Guides Taps were sung and the schools left the hall quickly so that cleaning up of the area could be carried out. Later, we were given around forty minutes (till 2PM) for a snack-cum-lunch break.
There was more arranging of tables and clearing up after our break, and we were also split into different areas to do things like combing the area to pick up the litter and more.
Lastly, Year 3s and Yals evaluated the Year 1s and 2s on our performance today. I am sure all of us learn something from them and hopefully, we will improve ourselves in the upcoming jihe-s, jiayou! Good job to all for yesterday's EDD! :)

Hey guides, here are some points to take note :)
Things to take note for future jihes:
- STANDARD ATTIRE is expected for all guides. As what Ms Ngau said, we are not only representing DHSCOY, we are also representing Dunman High School. Even if there is no roll call, standard attire is to be expected during normal jihe. Remember what has been told to all of you during the attire check today and take note of what you have to change and improve on.
- TAKE INITIATIVE AND HELP OUT as much as you can tmr. Make the effort to ask your seniors where and how you can help out. Walk the extra mile, everyone's effort is needed to make EDD a success.
- SENSE OF URGENCY AND BAOSHI can be improved :) Constantly bao shi so as to ensure everyone knows the time, and how much time is left. Make sure it is not always the same person bao shi-ing all the time, and each patrol must at least have one person to bao shi. Also rmb, dunman high guides 不是跑就是飞.
Tmr is EDD!
Good luck to all competitiors, and jiayou to everyone :)

Hello guides :)
Here are two posts written by our year 2 and year 1 guides about today's jihe.
Year 2:
Today we had our second jihe to prepare for edd. First, we were broken up into patrols to do decorations at various locations with the exception of the gadgets guides and deco guides. The schedule was tight as we only had from 3-430 as a common timeslot to finish up the decorations.
All guides rushed to complete the tasks that we assigned to each patrols before 4:30 as guides involved in competition had to leave.
After whcih we spilt up into different groups to prepare for the competitions tomorrow. Some continued with decorations and made sure that competition venues are ready while the others busied with other things. Although there were some delays, it was a fruitful day.
Year 1:
We had our preparation for tomorrow’s EDD today! First of all, we split up into groups and decorated the different locations in the different parts of our school. P3 and P4 went to the hall to decorate the hall. The year 2s built a tripod stand to hang the banner while the rest cut n drew hearts n stars. At 4.30, we went to ji-he. After that, we continued with the decoration while the people in the competitions prepared for their competition.At around 6 all of us went over to the senior high block to arrange the table and chairs for tmr's competition venues. After which we sang taps and were dismissed.
GO DUNMAN HIGH GIRL GUIDES!!! :D

Today, some year 3s were involved in the national day observance ceremony. Before the actual ceremony, we had dry runs as well as practises. We practised last wednesday as well as this wednesday after school.
There were a few year 4s who came back to teach us and guide us along the way. Thank you year 4s for all your help :)
Edd is next saturday, jiayou to all competitors as well to all who are helping and preparing.
Rest well during this long weekend and happy national day! :)

Hello guides :)
We woul be holding east division day this year in school. On Thursday, we had jihe to prepare for edd which is on next Saturday. Our YALs were here to guide us and give us instructions on what to do. There were many preparations to do, especially for the deco and competition groups. Some of our year 4s were here to help us with the deco too (: We were soon broken up into our various competition and duty groups to start on the preparations.
For deco, we painted many banners to be hung up in the school during edd. Most of the y1s familarised themselves with the competition venues to guide the visitors on EDD. As for the competition groups, we had to do our separate presentations for the competitions which the main theme was “blast from the past”. All of the teams worked closely together to come up with ideas for their various competitions. Our company will be participating in cheer, dessert making, gadgets, handicraft, poster and t-shirt design competitions.
For the guides not involved in the competitions, they practised knots and lashes. After that, they had some physical training such as running after finishing their share of work.
Everyone put in their best effort in all parts of the event preparation and despite the limited time we have, we completed many preparations today.
Good job everyone, continue putting in your best to prepare for edd :)
