An updated note to all of you...
Hey everyone! (:
This is an updated version of the previous post (a note to all of you...).
CCA will be resuming next week, but as for whether FC selection will be next week or not, the Guiders are still in the midst of discussing and finalizing the date of the test. The date of FC selection test is not confirmed and we will update you once we've finalized all details. Sec 2s and 3s need not leave a tag regarding whether you are able to make it for FC selection next Tuesday, as it isn't confirmed yet.
Meanwhile, just check the company website regularly for any updates!
With love,
Your CLs and ACLs (:

A note to all of you...
Hello, everyone! (:
It was announced that CCA will resume next week;
The Sec 3s will be reshuffling the programmes for our CCA schedule this term, when they discuss it during PLC (Patrol Leaders' Council, where the Sec 4s (in this case, the Sec 3s, since they're taking over CCA sessions this semester onwards) will meet once a week before CCA sessions to plan the programmes) (a lot of thought and hard work goes into planning the CCA sessions!)
Details and programmes will be finalised, before updating everyone again, so check back regularly for updates! (:
For the FC selection test, the FCs will be discussing and finalising the details before updating all of you again. Tentatively, the Sec 2s & 3s will need to be present, and it will be on the coming Tuesday, 21st July '09.
In the meantime, can the Sec 2s & 3s please check your schedules and leave a tag on the tagboard if you can't make it on Tuesday? State the reason as well. Please do prioritise and try to make it for the footdrill session, cos you'll be missing out on quite a lot if you're absent!
As for now, still do eat your fruits and veggies regularly and stay healthy yes! (: The flu might be subsiding, but we should still remain vigilant and Be Prepared (; Start work on your contribution for "What Nanyang Guides means to me" if you haven't done so! Everyone in the company is taking part in this mini-competition! Be creative and let your artistic flair flare!
Hopefully school's still manageable for every one of you! Here's a JIAYOU to all of you, keep goin'! :D Oh yes, and very important. Shoutout from the entire of Nanyang Guides to Xinhui, all the best for Council elections!! The company's behind you all the way! <3
That's about it for now, check back for updates and photos!
Cheerios,
Your CLs & ACLs (:

FC Selection Test 2009
Sec 2s & 3s,
please take note that FC selection test will be postponed till further notice.
For the Sec 3s, we'll be checking with Mr Chow if NDP/Founder's Day parade will go on as per before, and we'll work something out together.
We'll release some details of the selection test soon, so that all of you have time to prepare for it. In case the Sec 2s are unaware, we will be selecting, from your batch, a few of you to join the NDP squad for 2009 as well. So it's not just the Sec 3s who need to prepare for this!
Cheerios,
Your FCs (:
A special note from your CLs and ACLs...
Hey, everyone! A new term has started, hopefully everyone's rested well in the June holidays (:
There will be no CCA activities this week, due to the H1N1 situation. The school will continue to monitor the situation and we will update all of you again. During this time, spend your time wisely, be it on studies or with your family (: And do take good care of your health, yes! Drink more water, wash your hands frequently and don't fall sick! :D 
The Sec 3s will be taking on leadership of the company gradually, from this term onwards. CCA sessions will be conducted by different Sec 3 I/Cs every week, so to the Sec 3s, here's a shoutout to your batch (: Believe in yourselves, support one another and yes, you can do it! And to the Sec 1 & 2 juniors, make sure you give your full support to your Sec 3 seniors, listen to them (: You'll be leading your patrols more now, also, so take care of one another and continue to keep learning and growing! (:
This is a random happy picture to give your eyes a breather (:
There are quite a few activities/initiatives lined up for this next half of the year, so look out for them! We will update the company on the Semester schedule at a later date.
The Sec 4s will be rostered down to come down for various CCA sessions, we'll still be around and do approach us if you've got any queries and come look for us if you miss us! (We'll miss you too (: )
Kudos to the Sec 2s for a job well done at GGS carnival last week! You guys have spent effort planning for this, and we're sure you've gained something out of this experience, in some way or another. Keep it up!
We'll like to raise the issue of the privacy of information here. Take note of what you tag on the tagboard, don't leave your personal information (like your handphone number!) on the tagboard. If such info needs to be given, find each other directly (: The internet is accessible to all, remember. Also, don't forget what the line above the tagboard reads, "Only one simple rule to abide by, RESPECT." The tagboard is a place for us to share our opinions (like "CCA yesterday was cool!" or "Talentime was amazing!") and raise queries, so let's keep it a happy place (: You guys get the drift. (:
Speaking on information, we'll like to give a gentle reminder. When you receive SMSes or emails informing you of something, please make sure you reply to them to acknowledge that you've received and read the information. (Simple reply like "Okay noted, thanks!") We have a SMS relay system in the company, which we activate in times of emergency or when there's important information to be passed down, so it's important that we can be assured everyone's gotten the message and nobody's left out! Take note, yes. (:
Yup, that's about it for now! We'll be updating yall on more things to come here, so do check back regularly! Xiaoen's in the midst of uploading the montage, and we'll be posting photos! So take care for now, approach us if you have any questions or if you feel like talking to us or anything (: We're all ears (:
Oh yes, and if any of you have ideas for a new blogskin (this one is temporary) or if you want to volunteer to create one, do let Xiaoen know! You can drop us an email at roosterice@gmail.com (: We'll be updating the links when we've got time! (: And if you have any ideas for CCA sessions, or if you'll like to initiate something in the company, we're more than willing to accept suggestions! We can all take initiative to bring positive changes in our company, regardless of whether you're Sec 1 or Sec 4, junior or senior. A Guide is friendly and a sister to all Guides! (;
That's about it for now, adios!
With much love,
Your CLs and ACLs (:
