4th of the last

after the heart-to-heart, we were sleeping like logs and the seniors were tired so our morning routine started at 8 a.m. after fall in, it was straight for breakfast. that's funny, i think i missed sumthin. oh yes! the morning exercise. but that was nothing to me, literally nothing, we didn't do no exercises. we were standing at our "ready" positions during flag break but Alwin said, "yow nexs activity is , brweakfassst!" so yea, no morning exercise. ~okay! getting back to track~. Choo Xiang, our good ol Troop Leader gave a speech about the night before and wut we should be doing. basicly, a lecture. but it wasn't boring. odd but true.

on this merry day, Julian Lim, our famous Troop QM and some might call "Julian Oliver" or the "half-naked chef", thought us how to make pancakes. it was going well till we encountered an alien egg! it was green and smelly! and its called a rotten egg. a very tragic moment. we had to quarantine the alien and extract it as well as we could while Julian went to search for more eggs. that took hours (searching for the eggs). so we kept on cooking pancakes with different fillings and toppings. next, we had base system, its about learning new stuff! 1st base was about fire lighting, then about gadgetry. 3rd was about First Aid and last was about "parangs" and whetstones.

lunch time! we forced the juniors to cook this time, the form 1's. muahaahah! but hey! they did quite a good job, good sign, they have learnt from past experiences. after lunch, we had to fall in for another hunt, this time its a hunt for the seniors around the school, this was a slow and draggy hunt, half of the patrol were aching all over and mentally slow. chasing the seniors was hard because we had to stay in a group and half the patrol was almost dead -i think only our patrol followed that rule-. the good part was, FINALLY, Adrienne's group were behind us. maybe because their leader was forever far ahead leaving "his" "weaklings" behind. i thought that wasn't right for any leader to do. so, even before dear Adrienne's group could finish, two long wistles signaled "fall in" time. so we ran from the canteen to the assembly ground as fast as we could, being late, 30 downs!.

its time to collect firewood! and next was our BBQ night. we BBQ-ed the whole night. after i started the fire, Simon, Quek and I went to collect water to be boiled as everyone was running out of it. after setting up the stove and heating the water, Simon and I went to wrap potatoes in foil to be BQQ-ed. after the wrapping, we head straight to the fire! "plopped" some potatoes in, marinated two fishies and "plopped" that in too. I didn't eat at first, someone had to keep watch of the boiling water! so when it was my turn, my good lil friend, Far, made me a piece of chicken and a sausage. i greatfully excepted it.i only had that, half a potato and half a fish.
it was getting late, the rest had slept, a few seniors, Adr and i were the only ones left at the fire pit. we were really playing with fire the two of us. Adr hadn't had enough so MAGGI CUP was the solution. the form 5 seniors felt kind and offered us marshmallows! after awhile, Julian called for a fall in. its time for another wash up and lights out.
