Hello Guides,
today's been a tiring day for all, but still, do read this post and self reflect (:
1. Marching
You have been practising marching for every Guides session, and we can tell many of you Guides have improved especially the Sec 1s. Keep it up! However, there are some who seem to have lost their drive in Marching.
We may be strict and always punish you. Some may be angry that they did not do anything wrong but got punished due to others' mistakes in marching.
But have you realised you've been punished for making the same mistakes made over and over again? Some include, not having a sense of urgency, always taking your own sweet time, not projecting your voice loud enough, wearing short socks, not tucking in your shirts.
So always take note of all these and make self-improvements.
Don't always get backed down by the sun, the sweat, the fatigue. Each and everyone of you has the 100% ability to march well. It matters only whether you're willing to put in the effort! Always try your best. This applies to your academics, sports, everything!
And Guidesss, we ought to learn from our repeating mistakes and do things together. Do remember we all stand as one, marching under the sun, our marching steps moving as one, our arms swinging as one, our arms locked as one, sweating as one, feet V shaped as one, our bangs banged as one. Hahah. Every improvement you decide to make makes a big difference (:
2. Your Voices
Yeahh Guides, we've heard all your Patrol cheers. We're impressed you know, that you girls are so enthusiatic in cheering for your patrols. We like hearing all of your voices, it brings much more life in Guides, as everyone is involved.
But in fact, many of you are quite quiet in cca. Do open up and talk more to each other, especially those not in your patrol. Make more friends (: `Cos come on, we can choose whether to enjoy or not during Guides. Chooe to enjoy and make the fullest out of it.
Have the confidence to be loud and clear and don't be afraid of speaking up in front of the company, your patrol or anything. Each one of you makes up the formation of CSSGuides, it does not only involve the leaders speaking, we want to hear all your voices each cca session((:
3. Your smiles
Please always remain a positive attitude towards Guides, be hyper, be active, smile at each other, SMILE. Guides remain cheerful despite any difficulties and this makes the world rounder 8)
Upcoming events:
-8th August: Awards Day
-9th August: Ayer Rajah CC Marching Observance & Singapore NDP
Do switch on the tv and look out for Sarah, Dian, Shafiqah, Felicia, Jing Yi, Gloria, Shu Ting & Thelsa in NDP! They've been training on Saturdays since April! :P
To the Guides in the marching contingent, be honoured that you are representing CSSGuides to march. Thus always have the pride and discipline in yourselves during marching parades(This applies to all!) (:
Gambatte guides! Rmb all which were said above!
A video to hype up the National Day feel, heheh.
Thank you (:

2) To ALL
We are aware that sometimes we do update the blog very late, but do not keep facebook-ing or smsing us to update the blog quickly. We have a reason for updating it late as we do end school very late everyday, have a lot of work and extra lessons. We do try our best to update ASAP so just check the blog regularly. If you are unable to, as we have said this umpteen times, do check with your friends or seniors.
We usually update the blog on a monday/thursday, around the evening. So when we say check with other people, we do mean around night time on the day before cca, not like on sat you ask them for tues cca details.
3) 1.50pm FALL IN
The 'TIME' for cca that we always post on the blog refers to the time you guys need to get ready and be AT THE FOYER. Not the time you put your bags into the guides room.
*PL or PS, do be earlier too. You guys are responsible for the starting of roll call and you guys are the seniors, so please report at the foyer earlier in future. We know some of ur might be late due to long queues at the canteen, but do have a sense of urgency and hurry when you are already late. Don't JUST clip up your fringes or tuck in your shirt during roll call. Also, assign someone to fall in in your place if you know you are going to be late.
SEE YOU ALL! ITS GONNA BE FUN (of course IF YOU GUYS COOPERATE) TMR haha ^^

Feedbacks :)
Hello Guides :)
TAKE NOTE: THERE IS NO CCA NEXT TUESDAY (19JULY2011).
` Your can take this chance to meet up and finish up your POP performance. Please meet up on your own to practice, make it awesome and stunning, listen to one another and work as a TEAM, not only in your own clique or groups. ;)
Also, if your are meeting up in SCHOOL, please do not make alot of noises or use handphones / mp3s as, obviously, school rules still apply and we did not give your any permission to use them. Remember to keep your volume down as there is olevel listening comprehensions going on around the school.
` We know this is random, but we heard that some people are telling the world to visit our guides blog. We don't have to publicize our blog cos there is basically just no reason to, it is just WEIRD to do so. So pls dont go arnd telling ur friends to visit for no apparent reason, it will only attract more spammers.
` We want to be very clear about strict discipline in girl guides. We punish you guys because we do not want your to make the same mistakes. We bother to even punish you guys because we believe it all starts from the attitude. We know that you guys can live up to expectations and ARE GOOD when you guys do your best. So we punish to remind your that your can do it, you guys just need a little reminder, punishments just push you guys to do even better.
So always have the right mindset, think positively. As long as you guys always do your best in guides and care for everyone, you will naturally realise the beauty of girl guides ;)
` Be confident! :) Do not worry about how others judge you. If we ask you guys to command, just command bravely and loudly. If you are not sure how to say commands, feel free to ask us. :) Do not slouch, giggle giggle, be shy or keep quiet. If we ask you to take charge at any point of time, do not be afraid to speak up or instruct.
` Give us feedbacks :) We always try to ask feedbacks from you guys so that we can improve CCA. Not only in terms of what activities to do, you may give feedbacks about attitude or attire or discipline too. We will not eat you up if you ask us to change certain things. CCA is not only about the excos, is all about you guys. Hence we want to make guides a CCA for all of us to enjoy and love, not one that only the EXCOS like.
Okay then, see you guys on FRIDAY ;) Remember to practice POP!

To add on to the post below, this is how you are suppose to sew your Patrol Emblem. The patrol emblem should be aligned with the first button on your shirt as follows.
Do sew according to the picture and remember to use the same colour thread with your patrol emblem.
Also, a note for the NDP girls (not our school awards day cum NDP people, is the real official NDP girls)
[quoted from email]
-- Further to the earlier notice, taking into consideration suggestions from stakeholders, we have arranged for the buses to drop off the girls at Dhoby Ghaut MRT Stn instead of Guide House.
-- Dhoby Ghaut MRT Stn is the interchange for all the lines, hopefully this will enable the girls to get home sooner.
-- Dismissal time for those following the buses would not be earlier than 10.00 pm
-- The girls whose parents are fetching them from Marina could only be dismissed after 8.30 pm. Meeting point would be the staircase at Marina Sq, facing the Esplanade.
Also these are the people involved for our school's NDP celebration, which is also known as awards day (8th august). This is a compulsory event, we will post the other details soon.

-Guides Hand Book
-Writing Materials
+ Stationery
+ At least 4-5 foolscaps

+Coloured pens
+Coloured paper (MUST BRING!)

-A4 Coloured Paper
-4-5 foolscaps
-Stationery
Feedback and new rules for CCA (READ):
You guys have been doing a good job in cca, keep up the good work. However, always bear in mind some rules that you have to abide to during cca.
1. Showing respect to teachers & seniors
As we have spoken to you all last session, there is a lack of respect from our fellow guides towards our teachers and seniors. Hence, we would like to implement a few rules in which all of you have to follow, to show respect to your guides and guiders.
a) Greeting the teachers whenever you see them
b) Address each exco with basic respect. DO NOT call us by our names. When talking to us, address us with "ma'am". (This is a sign of courteousy, not because we like you all to call us "ma'am" but because this the right way to address your leaders and also what is expected in any guiding event. Calling us "OEI" or "AYY" or "HELLO" is disrespectful and we will not entertain any requests.)
c) ASK for permission whenever you want to go somewhere or whenever you want to tell us something. (For example: Permission to go to the washroom ma'am, Permission to have __ minutes waterbreak ma'am.)
2. Following instructions
a) When teachers, excos, PLs or PSs give instructions or punishments or orders, do not bargain or talk back to seniors. Follow what we say strictly. We mean it. If you have any comments or misunderstandings, do not question us or argue, but come to us for feedback at the end of every meeting.
b) Do your punishments seriously. It is not a laughing matter. Punishments are not given as we hate you all, and not to demoralise or put you down but to train you all so that you all wouldn't repeat the same mistakes again and again. Laughing just shows that you are not serious about your punishments.
c) When we say something, we are not joking. We will accept no compromising.
***Putting your bags in guides room is one. We are not going to plead you and convince you that you have to put your bags in the guides room because from now on, it is compulsory. Whoever does not put their bags in guides room will have to endure punishment. (This is so as to not cause misunderstandings because though some of you vocally say that you will bear full responsibility if anything goes missing, the teachers and excos still have to be responsible and be blamed.)
3. Having a positive mindset.
It is good to hear from most of the sec ones that you enjoy cca and we hope that all of you will continue to be optimistic and endure even during the tough trainings.
See you on Friday!
