like knights waiting for knighthood, we knelt till sunrise.

another night hike has come and gone; a new batch of sec 1 scouts are finally "offically" called FoxScouts.

the annual group overnight hike requires all the scouts from all 3 schools to walk together from GreenRidge Secondary to Kranji War Memorial. its just a simple ceremony for the sec 1 scouts, to invest them into the unit. in layman's term, to scarf them.

thats just a simple idea of our annual overnight group hike=)

sat -

met up with alvin and we had breakfast together at a nearby coffeeshop. i was told that the coffeeshop belongs to my friend's dad~ woAh~

then, i went to alvin's place to get his bike for the overnight hike. his speakers rawkz! bose speakers with a super huge subwoofer! the music is crispy clear and nice~

when his cousin came over to his place, the 3 of us took our bikes and rode back to bukit panjang. alvin's a crazy biker. he's forever drifting the bus, following tightly behind the bus=/ i tried drifting, but i got a little freaked out at the speed~ loLz=P

reached home finally and took a short break.

cycled down to herman's place as i was pretty bored and we played PS2.

when its time to leave, herman got the locks to unlock the chain that's chained over my bike. but, the lock wouldn't open! the key was spoilt? or rather, not working and we had to come up with other ideas to open the lock.

we used saws, pincers and hammers to break the chain. but, eventually it was the hammer that did the job. thank God the chain wasn't very thick!

cycled back to weiming's house as he's having a BBQ. he's celebrating his birthday, and he treated us to a BBQ~ lolx. though its just at his void deck, was quite shocked when he told us the total cost of the BBQ - 200+

weiming seems to know everyone in his block~! =/

after eating to my fill, and when its finally 10.30, i headed to GreenRidge Secondary to report. cycled there and realised that most of the scouts were already there, but i wasn't late=)

after the scouts were dismissed, the sec 1 scouts were given a specific time to sew their unit badge on their uniform. i saw xiao-ker-ai helping another sec 1 scout sew his badge~ hAaz!!

xiao-ker-ai's so cute! when he saw me, his face brightened and he gave me a HUGE smile and said eh! you are here le!

there were quite a handful of scouts who forgot to bring their woggle. so i cycled back and got the extra woggles that i bought in the past. met up with binghui along the way and he followed me home. i went to take a shower as i smell of BBQ and i don't like the feeling of stickyness.

after settling everything, we headed back to GreenRidge Secondary. the boys were about to set off for the hike, doing warmups~ loLx=) the bikers, xianghao, binghui, dennis, yanhui and me, were given roles. yanhui and i were the last man!

its tiring to be the last man~ imagine riding on a bike and you have to go slowly=/ but, i made use of this chance to learn jumping on the bike~ teehee~ Scouter ZhaoYi taught me the method and i got the jumping going really quick=D

endless walking till Kranji War Memorial.

along the way, we stopped for a rest at a closed petrol station. saw xiao-ker-ai again and he gave me another BIG smile~ hAHaz! then, a while later, a biker rode in. alvin joined us! hAaz~ he took only 15 minutes to reach our rest point from his place=/ he's freaking fast...

after our break, yanhui and i became the lead man. it was pretty dangerous as i had to direct the traffic to the other lane, but there were super blur drivers who almost knocked me down and taxi drivers stopping, thinking that i was flagging for a cab. thank God that i wasn't knocked down by a stupid speeding car...

when we finally reached Kranji War Memorial, the boys were on their own to explore the Memorial. i was stoning, looking around, making sure that the scouts were not to something funny.

then, a van turned into the Memorial. a group of malays, drunk and smoking stepped out. they made their way into the Memorial and said that they are here to pay their respects.

feeling extremely protective of my boys, i followed closely behind them, making sure that they keep a distance from the scouts. when they got into the Memorial, i got KokYeow and Wilber to join me. we got all the other scouts who were in the Memorial to leave the premises and rest at the carpark. after walking rounds in the Memorial and making sure that all the scouts are out, we left the Memorial.

stoned till dawn.

sunday -

changed to my uniform and had my breakfast - 1 piece of prata. lolx=P

the ceremony finally started and as we knelt down, waiting for sunrise.

the sun FINALLY rose and we started to scarf the boys. i scarfed boys that i didn't even know, but thank God, they know who i am. lolx=)

after the entire ceremony, we had our group picture and for the first time in 3 years, we (rovers) were at the front.

packed up, and ready to leave! saw xiao-ker-ai again and i asked him if he wants to cycle home~ lolx=P another mega-watt smile and he said if i were to cycle him back~ lolx=P

changed my attire cause its not approiate the cycle in the scouts full uniform. we reached bukit panjang when they said that some ventures are in choa chu kang mcdonalds. so, we cycled back and joined them for breakfast over there.

i slept on the table when they were chatting.

finally, they decided to leave.

reached home, read the papers and fell asleep. lolx=) i guess i slept only 5 hours~ still feeling very sleepy but i guess i'll be joining my friends at salvation army to play basketball =X
