Saturday, 24/4/2010, a day where all our efforts were put together in a 2 hour show. Glad to say it was a blast! (:
Assigned the job of VIP usher, so spent 2 hours ushering the scouts and guides who came in the way they weren't supposed to come in from, also nervously waiting for the VIPs, whom some in the end didn't turn up.
When I entered the hall through the gateway the show was getting underway, emcees went through their lines..... when the video failed. Apparently one video cable was screwed so the movie (which explained the storyline) couldn't be played. Fortunately, the emcees improvised brilliantly and acted out the movie instead! It was really nervous sitting behind the VIPs and praying and hoping that the movie could be played, then the emcees came out and started spouting some crap. It took a while for me to realise that there were actually acting out the movie.
Eventually they managed to get the video working again, so the rest of the show passed without a hitch. Then came the souvenirs. Really proud to say that our hard work and effort and staying back almost every day payed off eventually. Hoped that the groups at least appreciated what had gone into each individual souvenir (:

Activity/Batch Outing/Campfire
Heehee. Saturday was awesome. In the morning from 8-1 was campfire preparation which Terence ponned so I had to solo the circus tent frame as well as fix the cage so it doesn't look so shit. If you don't know what I'm talking about and you're from 01 you can see it like on friday-saturday. If you're not from 01 then too bad.
After activity was batch outing which was awsumz (: Waited at the den for everyone to arrive and get in the mood to leave then went to J8 for lunch then went to AMK hub, bought tickets and waited for Edison to come. Watched How To Train Your Dragon which was a fantastic movie. No problems watching it again, no problems giving 5 stars for an awesome movie. Probably one of the best movies I've ever watched.
Once the movie ended we had something to eat then went to Potong Pasir MRT to change into Scout U then went for the St. Andrew's Scouts campfire, which was really good (:
The theme was "Lost?" and their gateway, although not very impressive, fitted the theme really well. The show was great too. Everyone was really enthusiastic even when the sound system failed. The breakdancers were epic pwn. Almost perfect synchro, cool dance moves, etc. Felt it ended a little early though, but great job the the St' Andrew's Scouts!
Hehe, took the circle line back home, not too bad la, not much difference from the regular MRT.
EXCEPT today, where it took 8 minutes from Paya Lebar to Macpherson, which is 1 stop. Cause train travel damn slowly, stop for 1 minute, then go again, got some stupid delay because of some stupid track fault. Although I suppose I can't blame them since it's really new.

Hypocrites
You know when you were young (or for some, even now), your parents always said how they want their kids to have moral values, to be generous, to be kind, to be compassionate, to be giving.
Yet parents don't even display these values in their everyday life, they don't show their children the way to uphold these so called, "values" that they want their children to have.
What's the point of a mother telling her son, "You should be compassionate and generous", yet when walking along the street, ignores the desperately hungry beggar?
Take for example a family I came across at the MRT. The parents and two kids. An old beggar behind the railing on the steps. A glance of disapproval, a glance of distaste, then carrying on walking as though the beggar didn't exist.
I donate to that old man whenever I can. That day, all I had in my wallet was 50c, but I gave that to him.
*edit*
Offensive to some people, so I cut out 2/3 of this post.

Hmm
It's April. It only just vaguely registered.
This probably shows the degeneration of my brain or something. Like how I just finished 4 consecutive books of Garfield in 2 days. Yes, you read that right, Garfield, the fat cat who has been such a world-wide success. See? I'm even advertising a children's book.
Anyway, I have decided to post at least twice a month, so yeah.
