Hello guides :) I guess.. this will be my last post here.
Post-POP thoughts, feelings and words. yeah, read on!

I am thankful for the seniors who transformed me from a sickening and rebellious sec1 into who i am now. And i am thankful that i got the chance to be Coy '02's leader. I regret not giving my best for guides at times when i was running low on my passion. Almost all of the memories i have in Chungcheng are found in guides. I've made friends whom supported me and entertained me greatly throughout these 4 years. And i hope these friendships will last til we age. I remember us fighting and quarelling a lot in sec3 and sec4, thinking back... they were so stupid. I really wish we had worked more closely together and spent more time together. I got my darkest moment in life through guides but Christ found me through it. This cca, the people in it, mean alot to me. Like how you all do, I love guides. Although it is the end of the journey already, this whole guiding experience will definitely be one of my best stages in life which i hold dearly in my heart.

Juniors, we weren't the best role models for you all to learn. Some of the things we scold yall for, we were actually guilty of it too. I hope you guys will really really just treasure your remaining time in guides. Stop complaining, just give your best and you'll experience much joy from the whole experience. Here's some last words for you guys...

Dear Sec1s:
It's half a year since you joined guides. I don't know if y'all are missing camp. But if you really still find no interest in guides, or any sense of achievement from all the 'harsh' times you have gone through... then don't hesitate to quit. Don't waste your own time, and the efforts of the seniors. For those of y'all who have decided to stay, please please respect your seniors. They really don't deserve all the rolling of eyes, talking back and fidgetting in ssquad. Be more open to one another and try initiating little talks to others- these will help build friendships in guides which will stay for long. The seniors don't owe you anything, so give them the best attitude you all have in everything you do in squad and in guides. Yeah, life as a sec1 is so so carefree so enjoy!

Dear Sec2s:
I know you know y'all have improved! One of the best best satisfaction we sec4s got is seeing how you guys changed. The dance items y'all put up for us on POP.. we could see the effort put in by you all and how you all are trying to just give us your best in the dances. It touched me greatly! I think the other sec4s felt your sincerity too :) Having improved is one thing, i hope y'all will work on your lack of taking initiative, drilling, cheering others on, helping one another when you're done with your part, perservering during PT and punishment, and stop fidgetting in squad! You all are a bunch of adorable juniors whom we love. Keep fighting and loving :)

Dear Sec3s:
You guys came in as a high-quality batch; bonded so easily and in no time got so enthusiastic in guides. But the improvement yall made through these years are little. I won't harp anymore on the disappointment stuff because I've said everything i wanted to say to yall alr. Remember when the few of you told us how sad you guys were when we distant ourselves from being close to you guys when we stepped up? We didn't do it for fun, and it's now your turn to do that too.
Pls take every word we said during camp to heart and reflect. I know some of y'all are already trying hard to change your ways- get others going too! Don't ever deprive your juniors from opportunities to create more and more memories through both fun and tough activities in guides.
You know we sec4s care and love you all a lot.
You know we will visit yall and be there for yall when you guys need us.
Ask us and we will help.

But y'all have taken over already, from now on you'll have to make decisions and lead the unit on your own. Try to work well with the teachers and together. Remember what we told you about why this cca needs leaders? Don't forget that yeah.
Yeah.. and don't always so easily get emotional and break down lah :/

Remember to inform us sec4s about future guides camps, and other guides stuff!

Sec4s:
Whoo! Awesome batch haha :D
Our batch isn't the most united one, but i really like the times we've spent together(especially those in sec2)! I like how childish we can get, how funny Cherlyn and Sueann can get in making us laugh, i like the taupok sessions, i like the dinners we had together, I like us taking squad together, i like feeling comfortable hanging around with yall after school even though i don't tlak much. I believe that the recent camp (which was like a chalet) bonded us together so much more and allowed us to catch up since we hardly spent much time together this year! I love how we spent the last two days of our guiding life and after POP. We've gone through a lot together and... it's already 4 years of sisterhood! Musssst keep in contact and go back visit them regularly hor!

We've stepped down, and it's time for us to let go of all of the worries that we have. We've said so much and i believe those words did knock some sense into them. Let's let loose of the grip and trust in the sec3s ok?
Although it'll feel wierd not having guides on friday anymore... we still can meet up yeah? :)

Seniors:
Thank you all for planning and organising guides activities and camps for us in the past! We didn't know how difficult and tiring it was til we took over. Thanks for giving us the taste of gruelling experiences which we still remember. Thank you for teaching us through the scolding and pumpings.

Special thanks to Yijie ex-ex-ex CL for showering us with concern even when you've stepped down for 3 years already! You're the one who constantly talk to us and pointed out our mistakes and never seem to get tired of guides. Even though you're not a YA, we are happy when you come back to visit us on activities after your school!

I guess that's all..

Wishing you all all the best in whatever you do! Remember to love and perservere okkk!

Haha ok will miss yall. Bye :)


Your Ex-cl,
Sandy

Hi sandy Ex-CL,

I know the seniors ment well for us and that's why the seniors are scolding us. There goes a chinese saying:“打是疼,骂是爱"
And i will respect the seniors because they are really very good and i love guides!haha :D
