...dejavu...

i dont know how to rate the campfire this year. is it a successful one? i no longer feel as much for campfires as before when i was still a guide in RV. it starts to make me wonder if i am getting too old for these campfires. i dont jump as much as before. i dont scream at the top of my voice just to win the best supporting troop anymore. i will just stand and observe. things will change.

dejavu is the theme for the campfire this year. basically, it means having the feeling that you have experienced it before. indeed, the campfire did give me the feeling of dejavu because out of the 5 items for the campfire, 4 danced to the same song, superstar by jamelia. i agreed that the song is cool but it starts to bore people if they hear the same song over and over again within a few hours.

the gateway has showed significant improvements since their first trial a few months back. the structure looked more presentable and stable. as for fire, though they took a long time to finalize their proposal due to the many constraints set by the school, they managed to come up with a decent one. but i failed to catch the lighting of the fire at the start of the campfire. =( the backdrop is good. i like their idea of sewing the plastic sheet on the backdrop. the effect under the spotlight would be better if they used a bigger piece of plastic. programme was creative. they thought of many fresh ideas for the games, door gift and many many things. lastly, i-used-to-be-in-the-committee, souvenir rocks!! i am not being bias here but their souvenirs for the troops and VIPs were excellent. the dreamcatcher, the tripod and another one which i forgot. nevertheless, RV guides and scouts 2005 had done their best for this campfire. =)

one major event down and they have the upcoming annual camp and sec1 orientation to be busy with. let's hope they will do even better for the other events and future campfires.

"back to before?"
