Hi guides (:
The posts for friday's jihe are up:

Last Friday’s jihe was the first official jihe that we had with our new patrols. I felt both happy and sad. I was happy to know more guides but sad that I would be separated from my previous patrol mates.

After the year ones jihe and had our warm up, we went to jihe with the seniors. Then, we broke off for patrol corner. Patrol corner was a little quiet and awkward, as we did not know each other, but it was a good chance for us to start getting to know each other.

We jihe again and broke off for pt-cum-games. The activities were very fun and not that tiring. I like the blow-wind-blow and hula-hoop stations, as there was much laughter at these stations (: Yet, the morale was quite low throughout the activities, as there was little cheering. I have learnt that cheering is thus important in boosting our spirits.

After the pt-cum-games, the CL, ACLs and PLs, gave comments on the day’s activities. Then, we broke off for patrol corner again and reflected on the day’s activities too. We were also choosing what proficiency badge we want to achieve.


LOVE GUIDES! <3

During the last jihe, it was the first time we jihe-ed with our new patrol. Many of us were excited and eager to know our new patrol-mates. We had attire check after that. Most of our attires were not very standard, and many of us got pumped for it. We were reminded to have standard attire for the jihes, and also to 动作快一点. Next, we had patrol corner. We introduced ourselves to each other and we got to know our patrol more. After that, the year1s joined us, and we had another patrol corner. I felt that this was really a good time to know more about each other.

After patrol corner, we had PT-cum-Fun games. We went to 4 different stations throughout the activity. My first station was outside the Music Atrium, and we were given 12 minutes to pick the 木 for a kitchen dresser while the others ding-ed boys style pumping position. Here, we had to be faster, or the other patrol-mates would have to ding for a longer period of time.

Our next station was at the 6th level of Block G, where we took pictures. Firstly, we had to think of 8 poses to do, then after that, do a position that shows what we like about Guides. Lastly, we did a PT position that we like. My patrol chose to do star-jumps, and we did 20 star-jumps while pictures were taken. I felt that this station was really fun and creative.

The next station my patrol went to was at the pltc’09 campsite, where we played ‘Blow Wind Blow’ while doing Leg Raise. Although it was rather tiring at some point in time, we tried to persevere on and eventually it was over. I felt that this was a unique way of doing PT while having games. The last station was at the open space at the 5th floor of the yr3 / 4 block. There, we did circuits, consisting of 20 pumpings, 20 burpees, 20 jumping jacks, 20 sit-ups and 10 star-jumps as 1 circuit. This was a good chance for us to train our stamina.

After that, we proceeded back to the General Science Lab for de-briefing. We were reminded to cheer more to build patrol spirit to encourage others, to run even when we are given a water break instead of walking. This jihe was very meaningful to us as it was our first jihe with our new patrol and yr 3s leading us, and it was a good time to know our new patrol mates better, through having a fun PT.
