On Friday's jihe, we had roll call first at the general science lab area as the elavated court was occupied. After that, we were given 10 minutes to mass change into pe and bring along our compass and water bottles. My patrol's year 2s nearly exceeded the time given as we did not listen carefully to our year 3s instuctions. Then, we split into 4 combined patrols and had 'Fun Orienteering'.
Our first station was at the obs course. In our individual patrols, 1 person has to try to cross the monkey bars while the others ding boys style. We had 8 minutes to get as many people to cross as possible and try to get all the sweets sticked on the monkey bars. Then, we have to ding zhan ma and support 2 hei mu. Meanwhile, we will go out 1 by 1 to answer questions. many of us could not ding standard zhan ma and the year 4s had to frequently correct our positions.
For our second station, we are suppose to use the compass and find our way to the station masters with the given bearings. My patrol had no compass as ours had spoilt and we were unable to borrow 1. We got 20 pumpings for this mistake and learnt that in future, we should always check our equipment before jihes so we can have longer time to replace faulty ones.
However, my combined patrol was very unorganized during the orienteering process and we barely got pass the second orienteering instruction. We were not very familiar with using the compass as we did not read our notes. Eventually, the year 4s told us the destination for our second station. We were suppose to build a basha but 1 qingtou was being hidden and we had to find it using the trekking signs. We were misled a few times and took a rather long time to find the hidden qingtou. We were also unable to finish the basha so we should work faster in future as ample time was given. Then, we had to find pieces of a map and using the compass, find the place on the map with the instructions given.
Our third station was the poker cards station. We are suppose to memorize all the cards and flip them over in sequence. It was rather interesting watching everyone hyperventilating over whether they remembered the correct card. In the end, we took such a long time that the station master gave up and told us the correct places of the cards.
The final station was the Roman Chariot station. We had to tie the Roman Chariot in 6 minutes. But we not only guo shi, we also tied it the wrongly and the lashes were loose. After that, we had to transport a person for 6 laps around 1 side of the general science lab area.
Overall, our patrol spirits was rather high as we cheered alot and sang many patrol songs. :)
Love guides! :)

Hello guides! :D
Yesterday, we jihed at our usual place in our guides uniform.
First, we had roll call, just like last week, but due to the elevated court being occupied, we had an attire check at the general science lab instead. Some guide’ attire were still not up to standard. Some of our socks were too low, hair were not properly done and enrollment badges not polished. A guide should always take pride in her attire as it reflects on our standard, and hopefully we would all improve after these 2 rollcalls.
After that, the year 2s and 3s mass changed into our pe attire, while some of us took the first aid kits, compasses and water bottles. We managed to keep within the time limit given, good job everyone!
All geared up in the proper attire with the things we needed, we were split up into groups, 2 patrol per group, and headed off for Fun Orienteering. There were 4 stations in total, the poker card station, the station at obstacle course, the roman chariot station and the basha cum map reading station.
At the poker card station, we were required to memorise the positions of all the cards and open them in the correct sequence. Then, we were supposed to play a game. However, most patrols did not strategize properly beforehand, and only one patrol managed to have enough time to complete the game.
At the obstacle course station, we were to ding boys style while one member of the patrol crossed the monkey bar, while getting as many sweets that were stuck to the monkey bar as possible. Then, we did zhanma while members of the patrol took turns to answer questions, which was the time to put all the notes we have read to use.
At the roman chariot station, all patrols were to build a roman chariot each, and carry their members across for 6 rounds. It was a good chance to revise our traditional games skills, and all patrols managed to complete the 6 rounds :)
At the basha cum map reading station, we were tested on our trekking signs, basha building and map reading using a compass. It was one of the first times we have done map reading in guides and it was really an eye opener for us as many of us found our way through the map to kong kong cave. (:
After all patrols assembled after the activities, we had a debrief on our performance, and we should all take note of our mistakes and take care not to repeat them.
The year 3s stayed back for a briefing about a jie OJ we were to have next week, and then were split up into different patrols for a while to discuss patrol name and cheers.
All in all, through yesterday’s jihe , many of our doubts were clarified and skills like orienteering were revised. For the year3s, it was a good experience for all of us to have a chance leading. I’m sure that all the guides have learnt much during this jihe, especially the year2s, and I hope that we will be able to put what we have learnt into good use in future!

Hello guides,
We had roll call, followed by prize presentation,evaluation and patrol corner for friday's jihe.
Some of the year twos were pumped during roll call as they were new to roll call and did not really get the importance of it. As for the year 3s, we should take pride of our attire at all times in guides and also to set a good example for our juniors.
During the prize presentation, Ms Ngau presented the awards to the camp challenge participants, we won many awards and the whole company rejoiced with loud and overwhelming cheers.
Next up, we had evaluations by the year 4s. They commented on our performance this year and what we should aim to improve on. I am sure that everyone of us reflected and learned something during that session.
For my patrol's patrol corner we started off by building 2 fire altars we chose the wrong mu and in the end they were quite short however it was rather stable. Shortly after, we had 8 minutes to mass change into guides u and our patrol managed to keep within the time limit. Later we were given 6 mins to change back, and again all of us managed to keep within the time limit as all of us helped each other and bao-shi consistently.
After that, we were punished for our mistakes we did while building the fire altar, as one of our mu was being taken away by the seniors, also we did not check our logistics properly even though there was ample time and we did not take enough bai sheng.
Lastly, we had a combined patrol corner with p4 and p8 and we played Blow Wind Blow. It was very fun as we got to know everyone better :)

In all, we had a meaningful day bonding with the patrol and we must definitely remember what the year 4s told us for us to avoid making the same mistakes next time. Jiayou, we can do it!

Hello guides :D
Yesterday, we had our first official jihe in 2010.
To start off, we had roll call at the elevated court. For the year twos, it was our first time experiencing the ceremony and we were quite unsure of what to do. Quite a number of us had to pump for not standard attire. I think we should improve on that, for our guides uniform signifies our respect towards guides. We do want our juniors to be looking at us saying: "whoa, they look so seh in their uniform!", dont we?
After that, we mass changed into coy tee and had an awards presentation ceremony at the area outside the general science labs.. A round of applause to the prize receivers (: Keep up the good work, dhscoy!
Following that, the year fours evaluated us. Im sure all of us learnt something, and resolved to work harder. Afterall, our juniors are coming in soon and we want to be of good example to them! We also learnt something important, which is to lead by example. It ended with us boosting our bond among our jie mates (:
We had patrol corner and admin later on. We got our badges, thought up of initiatives and badges we want to pursue. We then went to the elevated court area and played an improvised version of ice and water (where we had to run around in pairs, and people caught had to ding boys style), as well as hide and seek. It was a fun game which tested our wits during hide and seek, and communication with the person we were running with during ice and water.
Soon, time was up and patrol corner ended. Then all of us jihe at the usual area and after singing taps, we were released.
Hope many of us learn something new today and improve together as one whole batch. Jiayou everyone :)
