I Expected It Out From You But Just Not So Soon So Now All I Can Do Is To Push Forward All My Plans And Just Give What's COming To You.

'welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 2008 southwest area campfire'...who was i saying that too? NOONE! everyone was like having a family reunion upstairs at the foodcourt 5 foyer. hm, then i was like testing out the mic for a while before actually making contact with human beings instead of my imaginary friends. anyway, that seems to be the norm for me according to what some people might say. alright, more stuff actually happened.

RED FOX INVESTITURE - LET NOT THE UNIFORM DEFINE YOU BUT INSTEAD LET YOURSELF DEFINE YOUR UNIFORM
it began just like any other day. but today was what should have been a very memorable life in the young boys lives. the investiture began after afew friendly tekan sessions from asl while i snapped some pictures...pictures not here yet...damn...took pics of the scouts doing stuff, of the ventures slacking and of my ass and even a water cooler. i would've have been more shutter-happy if i had used a SLR camera. anyway, back to the topic.

i was the flag-bearer...meaning i was the one who was carrying the flag for the scouts to promise themselves onto. the flag was heavier than i thought. anyway, after the scouts got investitured, the ventures got investitured. the new ventures that is. then after that the was the rank presentation where we congratulated those of the new PLC by whacking their sleeves...it's a scout thing. anyway, after that we scooted off to the workshop to have a scout history talk. seriously rather interesting. at least for me. follwing that event, the scouts were invited to play LAN...niiiiice...but it was off to SP for southwest campfire.

CAMPFIRE - SHITS-O-MANIA
ate kfc...unhealthy but well you know, it's better than nothing. but kfc is better than mcdonalds and long john's and stuff like that. but i prefer popeye's chicken to kfc....anyway, back to the topic. helped with the firewood area by hijacking a dustbin and putting the zinc plates in it to transport it from newtown to sp. after that played some music on the sound system. chopped wood, slacked, then met the service scouts to 'attend' to them. briefed them on what to do...talked with them and stuff like that...all boring stuff.

anyway, the moment i saw the entire campfire layout from a full view, i could see that it sucked. the gateway wasn't impressive...the backdrop was so budget, the campire cirlce looked more like something you would see at a wayang. the stage was so small that you had to have very active eyeballs to prevent yourself from not seeing the edge of the stage to prevent you from falling over.

it started to rain after a while...then sun...then rain, then shine...so we prettly much decided on the dry weather as the most probable...but 10 mins before we were told that it would be dry plan no matter what...everyone was like 'what the f***!' then it pretty much went down hill from there. the programme got held up for 30 mins plus plus...crapped my way for the pre-show...

the emcee-ing was okay la...one mic was soft so could not be heard...i was mostly using the wireless so i was walking around. but it was mostly us emcees against the restrictions. like we couldn't have songs with wrong implications. when i was working the crowd, i was told not to. then halfway i lost my programme list so for two minutes we were lost but luckily we switched off to the game. so we managed to actually skip la...overall it was okay...but still the campfire was crap...or rather it was fucked...

then at the end, this smart dude came on over and tried to be funny with the rovers. first he came up and started bullshitting with us while interupting us in our post-campfire discussion over the microphones. then he started coming with this small issue which he was trying to make us cry over. the thing is...you've really got to admit this kid had courage to come all the way up to us and try to make us remourse over something so small...kid had his uniform on...then this kid went on to push on the issue by flicking someone's rover flash...son of a *****...but still i just wanted to guy to finish what he wanted to say...i mean...he disrespected his uniform by disrespecting us, why should we disrespect ourselves by doing the same? ass, really spoilt my whole day...and he didn't even congratulate us on what a wonderful job we (rovers) did. noone did. anyway, rovers did good...everyone did good. just that some people did it 'too good'...catch my drift?
