guides rock!
today cca open house. it was fun luh. we fall in at 7am, which was like so early cos the sec ones come only at nine. but we got lotsa things to do. i did the baggage rack and took like more than two hours to complete an unstable one. we tied and tied. there were also a tent and a shoe rack, a swing plus the awards on the table and a banner at ther top of the booth writing "GIRL GUIDES". then we thought the sec ones would come down from the hall at like 10 plus but it seems like they came down way later than we expected--nearly 12! so while waiting we went to eat then walk around and see other cca booths.
like bout half an hour before the sec ones came down, our baggage rack went lose so jolin, dawn, joe yee, yu wen, teng ping and i had to redo the legs. we made the top with too many poles and it was so heavy that the legs of the rack could not really support it. once again, we tied and tied and it still could not stand straight. no choice, we had to put another two legs so altogether the rack has six legs. we felt so accomplished and contented of our "masterpiece" when it could finally stand straight.
finally the sec ones came down and everyone was frantically giving out their own cca fliers. dawn and i waited for some time before we went to talk to some sec one girls. strating we all were like "what to say" then slowly slowly we get warmed up and got to talk to some parents. the guides booth was filled with "join girl guides join girl guides" lol. i managed to talk to three parents on what GG really is. wahhhhh...i talk like for so long and repeating again and again the same things to different parent. but it was fun yeah.
about 1 pm most of the parents and sec ones went off already so we started packing the guides booth and went home.
so tired but it was worth it...
