we, the 3 loudhailers of kingfisher patrol [me, emmeline and zihui] made something really nice for our kingfisher-ians. and i mean, totally cool. emmeline, tze yin and i stayed after the mad guides session on friday [it ended at 6pm], after loads of things here and there, after our item planning [7.10pm] and headed off to toa payoh to collect the photos and develop yunqian's photos. then hy, wr and yq went to buy their stuff in tp while me and emmeline went to j8 to meet ty and jer. okay. we went to macs [8.15pm] and emmeline went off to buy stuff while i ate my twister fries and do the patrol gift. then yq came and ate with me. we talked. and talked. and talked. she looked silly carrying 10 pairs of slippers [which meant to be the gift for her patrol]. then finally emmeline and ty came back while jer left. yq also left to collect her photos. so emmeline, ty and i continued doing our patrol stuff. i could only stay till 11pm, and my mom was calling already. so i had no choice but to leave.
i reached home at a freaking time. 11.30pm. i haven't been home so late since victoria campfire. anyway, emmeline and ty left at 11.45pm. luckily ty's dad sent emmeline home. i spent the freaking night and morning doing so many things. cutting and editing our farewell item song [not as easy as it seems...], completing part of the patrol gift, typing letters to my angel verene and mortal aiswarya [i spent 2 hours just typing], and finally, bingo! it was 4.15am. i slept for 2 hours before my mom woke me to take my dad's car to school. my mom seriously did not know that i slept at 4.15am or she would have screamed at me. yeah reached school at 7am. my eyes couldn't open up. changed into guides uniform then was rushing some more patrol gifts.
finally it was 8am. horseshoe formation. zihui wasn't feeling well, joy was sick and hanwei hasn't arrived. so i took over as patrol leader for the day. for the first and last time though. the morning was really hot so everyone was perspiring like mad. it was sec 3 promotion cum sec 1 enrollment cum sec 4 stepping down. so every time they called upon a patrol, nearly everyone would be marching out to get their badges/trefoils.
after that was concert. the sec 1s and 2s had a photo-taking session. hmm... only the sec 4s would know what it was for. you all will know when you get to sec 4! haha.
only 18 sec 4s attended the farewell. very very pathetic. but those who were around had fun. first up before the concert was for the CLs valerie and weiyi to hand over to sining and pearlyn. some pictures below. the pictures suck though, cuz i forgot to switch on the flash. sorry!
the ex-cls weiyi and valerie.
ex-cls and new cls. they look like their souls have floated out. sorry!
new cls pearlyn and sining.
then, the sec 3s came out and sang some songs to us. the lyrics were really meaningful and i couldn't stop crying.
they made us close our eyes... and presented us with white roses! that was our breaking point. we cried like mad and the sec 3s were crying too.
there was a slideshow thereafter showing us over the years. we were crying and laughing at the same time!
anyway, mdm faridah contributed our sec 1 picture [eww!] and we were all laughing at each other.
i love our sec 2 dance pic. our batch never had a proper photo taken. there's always someone absent here and there.
the sec 2s sang a few songs to us too.
though i hear music most of the time and that sec 2s never performed, i was still pretty touched though i wasn't really close to them.
the sec 2s. and some of them were crying really badly.
then, it was much happier with the sec 1s dance. coy 2 came out first, if i didn't remember wrongly.
they danced to 'this love' and 1st coy danced to some blue song [i really dunno the title!].
it was pretty good for sec 1s! it made me think of the time when we were still doing our very own sec 1 dance for our then sec 4s.
the following are some pictures of the sec 1s.
the final item was by the sec 3s. they did a cheerleading thing and it was totally undescribable. way beyond cool!
they used red and silver pom-poms [which made me think that they were still in national day mood] and our ndp 2003 fans!
i really loved it, especially when they put in an exact extract of our ndp 2003 dance!
all pictures of sec 3s. there are too many so i can't do a caption for all!
lastly, it was our item. there was the cadbury song! haha. really brought up the mood of everyone.
we sang 'breakaway' by kelly clarkson to the sec 1s.
just to say something to sec 1s, if any of you reads this, wishing you all all the best in everything and make the best out of your future guiding years!
being sec 4 was great when people look up to us and respect us.
you all have a lot more to go in your next 3 years of guiding, which will be far more enriching than in sec 1.
do well in campfire dance and farewell next year, campfire in the next next year, and good leaders in your last year!
next up was 'i promise' by stacie orrico for the sec 2s.
although i wasn't very close to any of you all, i still hope that you all will enjoy guiding as much as i did.
it's gonna be a really stressful year next year for you all because of campfire.
but it'll all be really worthwhile when you see the success from it.
work hard for ndp contingent too and must not throw guides' face!
you all will take charge of sec 1s soon during singing sessions, just like we took charge of you all last year.
must teach the songs properly! haha.
most of you won't be able to enjoy the campfire while its on cuz you would be running around but nevertheless, do it well.
when people praise you all for the brilliant campfire, it will all be worthwhile! good luck!
last message was to sec 3s. we sang 'shape of my heart' by bsb.
most of us sec 4s are really close to you all, so leaving is really sad for most of us.
we know you all feel sad too, but you all have to move on!
now that we have left, you all are the eldest and nobody will be around to guide you all.
it is now your turn to guide your juniors and make them better people.
sec 4 year is really important, so besides being very involved in guides, remember to work hard towards your goals for your o'levels.
i know its kinda early to talk about this even though i haven't sat for my exam yet, but still, i wish you all all the best.
i will always remember you guys!
our final song brought up the atmosphere a bit. it was 'all about you' by mcfly. i know all of you love us!
thank you for showing it by fighting amongst levels on who loves us the most! but we love you people too.
do cedar guides proud!
us while singing. eyes red and voices out of tune.
refreshments time! i took a picture of the really nice cakes [exception for this year!] of chocolate fudge and fruit cake.
i didn't get to eat it though, emmeline and i rushed upstairs to complete the final part of our gift.
i missed the takopachi! haiz..
the cakes.
we packed our presents and brought it down. then it was finally the manito game! yay!
it was at first in the empty corridor, but in the end we moved to the carpark.
after freaking long, my angel came for me! i finally knew she was a sec 1. i always thought it was a sec 2! haha.
and guess what? emmeline is her angel! we are so closely linked. then i went for aiswarya. lol.
when yq started a new one, we were so excited for her! haha.
last programme of the day was patrol corner. sec 1s gave us gummies in chocolates! really nice =) but sec 2s didn't give us anything!
i was very sad. it isn't the present, but the thought. i didn't mind a letter, as long as there was something appreciative.
sec 3s weren't around so couldn't give them, but we gave them on tuesday and i could see that joy was going to tear.

the pictures are not blur, its just due to my layout which has opacity so its kinda see through.
some people asked me to take pictures for you so if your pic is here, you can save it!
if anyone is saving pictures and gonna use it, please remember to credit me. thank you!
note: these pictures have been resized. if you want the original size which is 1mb, feel free to email me.
i want to collate all the pictures for this farewell.
everyone who brought cameras on that day and took loads of pictures, please send to my email.
i will burn it all into a cd or zip it up into a zip folder and post it online for download.
