#2 The Memories

HELLO GIRLS *inserts heart shape*

Yes, 7 March 2009 was the day that 17 girls have finally completed their journey. Well, almost. But nevertheless, we have celebrated, cried, eaten and everything else you can think of!

First of all, we played games just to start the day going. It was a really hilarious revised version of WACKO in which we used our feet instead of our hands. It was really confusing with the new girls but still really hilarious. We then went back to the classroom for a short devotion session led by Mdm Rachel.

After that, the fun began! The Sec 4/5s were made to read out their prepared testimonials to share their experience in GB with the younger ones. It could be seen from each and every girl’s faces that we were all as nervous as anyone would normally be when giving a speech, but with perseverance we pushed on; and even though we stumbled at some parts, we made it through. That definitely took a lot to muster up enough courage!

I believe after hearing each others’ testimonials, our hearts and brains could only imagine and reminisce the good old times as we ate the healthy sandwiches made by our dear Mdms Peiying & Jemaine. (OH I CAN STILL TASTE IT IN MY TONGUE T^T) Anyways, some of us cried due to our inability to control those tear ducts of ours. But still, those were surely tears of joy and tears to remember. Hopefully through our speeches as well, our dear juniors learnt a thing or two more about us and more about the Mdms and more about GB as a whole!

Also, the thing that touched all the girls the most, was the huge effort put in by the officers, Serene & Sherlynn to make us the HUGE A3 sized cards for each and every single girl who was leaving. The cards were filled with encouraging words from our squadmates and Mdms. Each handwritten note and heartfelt thoughts for each Sec4/5 was truly inspiring to read. And as if that was not enough, it was amazing to know that they rushed to laminate all the big A3 sized montages for us all! (All done behind our backs!!)

Also, the Mdms Grace & Peiying also put in effort to compile a list of Bible verses to refer to in times of stress and unrest. It was really nice of them as the next few months of our lives are definitely going to be a hectic and crazy ride. Even the recruits put in some effort to making us Sec 4/5s feel so much warmth. Each of them made a friendship band for us, using the time that they could have probably done something else. We felt really thankful despite the short period that we had to bond in all. I, personally, was really touched 

To end off parade, we went back to the classroom where we sang the song “Circle Of Friends” to remind us that no matter what we do, where we are, who we are, we still have this circle of friends to bounce back to, to approach and just to have to be there. Throughout the song, the girls had a lot of fun thinking about how we sang this song for our 2007 Annual Year-End camp. It was really sad to know that years have passed so quickly and that our time to go was approaching at such a quick pace.

Thank you Mdms & Serene & Sherlynn for putting in so much effort; the girls for being supportive; and to the Sec 4/5 girls, GOOD LUCK TO ALL OUR FUTURE ENDEAVOURS!!!
