Today we held an event called paradigma, and it was crap.
I am one of the organisers, who unluckily got involved in the project, with nian ya and weicheng. I unknowingly got into the so-called alpha list prgramme, where the students are given the chance to organise events. Ugh! On the day when there is a meeting for the organisers, I went into the meeting room to declare my fateful resignation, but somehow the teacher put my name down as one of the organisers because of my presence in the meeting, before I could even appeal for my resignation. Grrr!
Very poor attendance rate, because many couldn't make it last minute, forgot about it, or just didn't bother. But still, I'm happy that kenji and ka $hing can make it despite the long distance.
I'm kind of amused by how VJ uniform is pink and their tie is red. A gay attire. But they insist that it's beige shirt and maroon tie. Haha... Let's just ask random people and see how many will actually say marron instead of red.
I'm supposed to guide the principal and direct his movements in case he blur. Luckily, he isn't. The session get kind of interesting at first. The dialogue session went better than expected. Everyone asked question enthusiastically. Some even got too carried out and argued against each other (kenji also), until it became rather humorous. The guest speaker is shocked, kept quiet while he is overwhelmed by the level of enthusiasm. But after the guest speaker left, it gets kinda dragggy during the students' presentation, and many left half-way. I got kinda annoyed by their disrespect and rudeness.
After that, me, kenji and ka $hing went to J8 to eat dinner and then walked around a while. We recite tales of our JC lives. We talked for about 1h+, until around 8.
On the way back, I met some ventures, Trevor, Gordon, Adam and Ken. Omg.... It has been quite a while since I met some of my fellow scouts. I asked them how is the scouts now. They recently take part in National Orienterring Competition. Sasdly, our scouts unit failed to get championship and lost to Victoria. But the venture unit managed to get the overall Champion. This means we need to train the scouts more so that they can perform better.
One of regrets of my life is not to continue as a venture. I am still emotionally attached to my scouts unit. It is one of the many joys that I had in my life to be a scout, and a venture. But now, I have attachments every Saturday and I couldn't cope with my studies if I continue as a venture. But that means my passion for scouting would be compromised.
I miss the days where we suffered together during the Ubin camps. I miss the feeling when we get championships for the competitions we take part in, how we struggled for the trophies. I miss the joy and laughter during each scouts meeting, the games we played as a patrol and the training sessions we had... I miss the campfires we had, singing and dancing along with a dozen of other schools. I miss the teamwork.
I miss the my juniors, the scouts and the ventures, more importantly. I enjoy teaching my juniors, guiding them, influencing them, playing with them (and pumping them). It is nice to have juniors that you can take charge of, juniors who look up to you.
I regretted ever to stop scouts, but NOT quit scouts. I have a lot of passion for scouting. Seeing how my juniors grow up into ventures and potential scouts... I wantl go back to my unit as soon as I can, and I hope I can join them for National Pioneering Competition(NPC) and camps.
I love CH Scout troop!
I'm beat, gotta sleep....
