Hey Guides :)

Yesterday we welcomed the 44th Batch of Guides into DHS Coy! The Year 2s have been anticipating this day when we would become seniors. They jihe-ed beside us at first, and we noticed their shyness and uneasiness right from the start, but as the activities for the day was being carried out, they gradually opened up and talked more. Some of the Year 1s did not like guides, but that is okay, as they do not know much about Guides yet and that is why we are here to teach them. We, as their Year 2s, will have to show a good example and teach our juniors how to be a girl guide, not just any guide, but a Dunman High Guide.

We started off with a 25 minute long patrol corner, where we introduced ourselves to the Year 1s and vice versa. We also introduced our patrol name(s), CL, ACL, QM, AQM etc. of our coy well as some li jies. After that, we had games. For my patrol, we began with the 3 legged race, followed by Blow Wind Blow, Dog and Bone, Charades. Overall, it was great fun! We had a mini-BBQ to end of the day. The Year 1s were quite amazed by how a fire could be started like that, and in the school too. Hope that they had a great time during their first jihe! ;)

After the activities, Mrs Poh announced that DHS Coy 1 and 2 had both achieved the Gold Puan Noor Aishah Award for last year. Good job to everyone who made this happen ;)

Last year, we were just like them. Coming into Guides, not knowing what to except but gradually learnt more about guiding life and loving it as well. This year, it would be our turn to guide the Year 1s, under the guidance of the Year 3s and 4s, and build a good foundation for them so that they would be able to pass down this to future batches. We would have to guide them, like the way the Year 3s used to guide us, show them that guides is not just a CCA, but a family.

Last but not least, here's a warm welcome from everyone to our Year 1s!

Jiayou guides! :D
Hi guides :)

Yesterday was our first jihe with our sec1s joining us! Seeing them for the first time definitely made us wonder how our new patrol will be like with them, and silently judging their appearance and their attitude. Im sure that the year 1s felt very unsure and uneasy too. However, as we had our activities together, they started opening up to us and vice versa. As new year 1s joining guides, we must remember that they do not have any idea how Dunman High guides are, hence we need to teach them basic li jies like kaolong, baoshu, not cutting between patrols during jihe etc. As much as we do not want to start of being fierce, we must be firm in making sure they follow our standards. Also, please all remember to set a good example for them by wearing standard attire during every jihe because if we do not, then they will not take our words seriously either.

Starting with our activities yesterday, we had patrol corner first. The usuals were carried out, introduction of patrolmates, patrol names, positions like Cl, ACL, QM, PL, PS etc in our coy, as well as basic li jies. After that were our station games for more bonding session and to portray our immense craziness when playing games. We had games like 3-legged race, charades, blow wind blow, dog and bone etc. Good job to those who planned these station games! :) After that was mini BBQ, where we met some of our year 5s and introduced them to our year1s. The food had were awesome and we definitely had our fill before jiesan :D Hoped that the year 1s enjoyed the food and games :D

After the bbq yesterday, Mrs Poh announced that for this year's PUAN NOOR AISHAH award, both Coy 1 and Coy 2 got gold! :D Good job to everyone who made this happened and i am sure all of us are very happy to hear this piece of good news :)

Every year, we have new year1s coming in who do not look interested in the first jihe, who did not put guides as their first choice, who talks about appealing to other CCAs (in front of or behind us thinking we cannot hear). However, we must not discourage ourselves thinking that they will never love guides the way we do. Remember when we first joined guides, even the year4s now did not love guides like crazy when we first stepped in. It was the seniors, the bonds, our jie4 that made us stick together and not quit, that made us realize guides is more than a mere CCA to us. Now, it is our responsibility to make the year1s feel at ease in guides and show them the kind of bond we have that cannot be found in other CCAs. We are one big family, i am sure the year 1s would be able to feel it in time to come :)

Lastly, WELCOME TO GUIDES YEAR 1s :D We hope that all of you would learn to love guides and enjoy the activities planned during jihe. Jiayou!

With much love, year4s.
