Open House 2007

Hey Guides!


Our competition -- NCC and their little blue tent!


Fire pits / oven :)


Dominique's contingent. See how smart they look? Good job guys!


Pizza toppings yumyum! 100% safe and hygenic.

I wish I took more pictures of everyone! But no... E-HUI AND TANYA where are your pics? Teeheehee.

Yup anw as Tiara said in the previous entry GOOD JOB FOR OPEN HOUSE! And I really think our CLs Tiara and Shiyun totally deserve our thanks because they worked soooo hard for this to be successful! So THANK YOU TIARA AND SHIYUN WE LOVE YOU!

And to everyone who worked so hard and diligently... the "bakers" who were maintaining the pits and cooking the pizzas so furiously, the "ushers" who led the visitors around the exhibit and managed to talk rubbish and buy enough time for them not to feel so bored while waiting for pizza, the "marchers" who marched so smartly and made the visitors nod with approval.

But it was tiring, no?

Oh ya and as Tiara said, KEEP THE GUIDE ROOM CLEAN because next time you'll be the ones having to stay back longer and packing up after your juniors so please set a good example :)

Okay take care, byebye!

Love,
Kim

Hey Guides!

Great Job for Open House today, thanks for all the effort and initiative put in (: I'm really proud of Sc Guides! Basically, we had a simple yet pretty gateway with pictures of all the Guiding activities, For gadgets, there was a shoe rack, a kitchen dresser (with the tiring diagonal lashes!) and a table. The visitors were impressed! Sec 1s, thanks for helping out at the spice room, ushering people in, and marching as well (I think we should thank the three commanders! Lecindra, Dominique and Carolyn! They did a damn good job (: and the sec2s! for volunteering to sacrifice their recess time to train you guys, this is the sort of initiative and commitment I want to see for guides alright?) and everyone is to keep the Guides Room CLEAN. Some of us (say thank you shiyun, li en, kimberly, e-hui, alberta, kristyn, tanya) stayed back and cleaned and sweep and tidied every single corner of the room. SO DONT MESS IT UP!Haha, I'll post all the pictures tomorrow.

And other stuff of great importance..

GGS Carnival Coupons!
Carnival coupons should be sold by a sheet ($5 each time), so it can be refunded if they decide not to use it. Money for the Carnival coupons would be due on Monday, 21^st May. Please look for your patrol leader as they can't go all over school to look for every single one of you!

Best Guide Nominations! Voting would be held from Monday (21^st May) to Wednesday (23^rd May) at Miss Chan's pigeonhole. This is compulsory, just take a while to go to the staffroom, write a name and drop it in a box. How hard can that be? Right? Right. Recruits, if you're unsure about this, ask your patrol leaders about it alright?

Have fun at Enrichment week! (while the sec 4s have endless lessons. ): Chem. Test on Monday. Grr.)
