Guides Session

Thursday, November 23, 2006

Wahh... long time no blog. There has not been anything much to blog about lah. Anyway, 2 days ago, I had a guides session. We did river crossing, wood chopping/splitting/sawing and had a song session. It was quite tiring but fun. Poor Xiao En fell into the pond when she was crossing the A-frame and was soaked from shoulders to toes. We had to walk around in her wet clothes and squishing shoes until the end of the sesion. About 4 ppl fell into the pond I think. Later on, I wasn't able to split the wood and took a very very long time to saw a piece off. All the Sec Ones took turns to chop the log too.

Today, We did turfing and fire-lighting. I still can't aim properly when I am turfing!!! As it had been raining these few days, the twigs were a little wet so we took a super long time to light them. They also produced lots of smoke. When we were turfing we found a few earthworms wriggling inside so we "transported" them by using twigs to another area, but I seriously don't think they are going to survive. Maybe we also burnt the rest of their family which we didn't see. oops. Our CL said that they can reproduce and told us not to waste our time by letting the entire patrol fuss about a microscopic worm (something like that...haha). When we had to put back our turf into the pit, there were bumps and all that. About one quarter of the grass was destroyed due to our aiming (or the lack of it...) (-.-) Then, we had our gadget making session. My patrol had to dismantle our entire gadget way before time cos it was so slanted and we chose the wrong heights for our poles (-.-). Our teacher also said we had to make some changes to the design. So, we just sat around and discussed our design.

That's all for today I guess.

PS...HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
