Hi all, its been a long time.
My four years in my secondary school is almost up and i have to part with my CCA.
Being a fat boy in secondary 1, i had no choice but to join a Uniform Group. I chose Scouts because my brother was one too and his was so much fun in his school.Therefore, i came to scouts with high hopes and loads of enthusiasm in me. But this enthusiasm din't last long.
All was going well until the annual camp which held in Sarimbun, a forest-like place where we had to camp there in the wild. That camp was the worst of all camps. Our scouts group booked late and got the crappy part of the camping site in Sarimbun, the tall grass which a wave of insects would jump out when u take one step in. The grass was up till my shin level. Being a pampered boy, it was already bad with such environment and our tents were made by those traditional 3 poles and 1 canvas, meaning that it was VERY VERY HOT INSIDE. The bunks were hard and very low, so the insects were jumping on us all the time when we were sleeping EEEEEEEWWW. THE BIGGEST INSECT I SAW WAS A GRASSHOPPER AS BIG AS MY HAND.
To make matters worse, it rained for all 4 days of the camp, making the whole campsite a shitty place. The camp was ran by the seniors and this guy called MARCUS who was notorious for being very harsh on punishment. Everyday was bad with this Marcus guy around and my seniors were real assholes. Seeing that my bath towel was plain, white. They took it as a table cloth and used it to shove it up the chicken's butt to clean it. I COULD'NT BATH FOR THE NEXT 3 DAYS.
This camp made me hated scouts to the core, and so did it make a lot of friends do so as well. It was the "hate-scouts" generation for my cohort. I tried many ways to skip training on every Fridays, found ways to slack off during training, always fooling around. Also, I vowed never to be like my seniors. So my friends and I promised each other not to punish anyone during the whole duration of our "senior" years as secondary fours.
Finally, we became secondary fours, having our ranks. We did as we promised, no punishment were issued by the group of us. I became a knots teacher for some unknown reason, teaching mainly knots and a bit of foot-drill to the scout group. Being the persons we are and having the ranks of a senior, we could slack all we want without getting scolded. The teachers also became more friendlier with us after becoming secondary fours.
Today is the last day of scouting for me. I always hated scouts and it took me long enough to realize that i actually do like coming to scout training . It was actually not all the things we did in scouts, foot-drills,knots,first-aid,doing all the shitty jobs. I like coming to scouts because I could be with my friends, my brothers from different mothers. I like how we come together every Friday without fail, to have fun, talking about random stuff, doing crazy things together. I finally realized the preciousness that these Friday training holds after its gone after today. Fridays was like a special time where all of us come together to have the fun. This fun will never come ever again after today.
Handing over my position to the secondary threes stepping up, i really hope that they can enjoy their time here in scouts and not repeat my mistake, failing to recognize the importance of these Fridays which will bring them together.
I will miss the special 3.00pm where all of us would show up in front of the scout's den. I will miss doing crazy things with my friends on Fridays. I will miss the teachers who have opened up to us after we became "Seniors". I will miss scouts and all of my juniors.
I WILL MISS FRIDAYS
