07 Seputih Scout Troop Campfire 2005 - Power Of The 7th Flame (SMK Desa Perdana)

Last Saturday(30th July 2005) was my secondary school's scout troop's 6th Annual Campfire (so called annual) dot dot... Since 2 years ago when i'm in Form Five, we failed to organize a campfire due to insufficient erm... sponsors and some other reasons, our campfire was called off... Till 2 years later which is now, they made it again! Congrats to all 7th Seputih scouts for making the campfire a success.

At 6.40pm, Chui Yen came to fetch me with her new Getz (for the first time i'm sitting her car, and i should be AMAZED and proud of her for she has a car, cuz erm... hehe... dowan to say la...) When we reach the school, we see quite a lot of scouts and guides already heading towards the entrance... This year, they made it in the tapak perhimpunan. The banner and bamboo gadgets welcomed us into the school while Ching Yee, Chui Yen and me were laughing and comparing them to those in the previous campfire in 2004. After we went in, we met up with the other seniors and friends: Shen Quang, Pak Tsung, Eng Jun, Kian Loong, Albert, Dinesh etc... This campfire gives me the chance to meet up with friends whom i seldom see since graduated from secondary school.

The cf was overall quite good, as the events were smoothly running and the people there are sporting and cooperative. They invited about 40 schools but only 14 schools turn up, but it was still good because the schools sent about 50 - 60 scouts and guides.. which is considered a lot in a campfire. The schools that came were Kwang Hua Klang, Connaught, Samad Klang, USJ, Sri Aman, Sri Sentosa, Taman Desa etc...

The emcees were Viknesh and Yin May, they did very well to keep the participants seated and made everything goes smoothly. There were dance performances by our juniors, one who name themselves "Flame Girls" as to suit our theme danced a song by Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai, another group danced to "Get Busy" by Sean Paul, fuiyoh, sexy dei... 5th PJ scouts were invited to perform an action sketch where one of the members jumped down from 2nd floor of our school building and climb up the flag post. There's also a sketch and band performance. It was the first time the band was performing and they did very well! They also did a couple of games like Love Tunnel and Feed Me...

Refreshments were burgers, mee hoon, nasi lemak, biscuits and mineral water (yummy!) all done by our canteen operator Aunty Molly... all the years she's the one handling the campfire's food. Thanks Aunty Molly!

The campfire ended at about 10.45pm, Ching Yee, Shen Quang, Pak Tsung, Dinesh and me stayed back clear up the benches and chairs, then at about 12 something we head home... Well, all i wanna say is i'm proud of being a part of the troop, and to all my juniors, i'm so proud of you guys! Keep up the good work!
