Kadet Bomba back to school [Hari Perjumpaan Kadet Bomba]

So this Saturday is the first activity of Kadet Bomba for 2016, aka Hari Perjumpaan.
And yeah I get to meet all my kids again :)

As usual (last year was unusual), not many newbies join Kadet Bomba, but I am glad to see two Form 1 girls, even though I am kind of sure that they will not attend the following activities.
However, I am still glad.

And today, the school seems quite empty.... of course it is not empty, but it is not as crowded as last year.
This year, not much newbies wanted to join koko eh?

So, many bekas came back. Almost as much as the newbies that came.
For our batch, me, WeiShen, ShuYi, Maxine, YingShui, KaiXuan came back.
For the 2014 batch, ChuYin Alice ChiChien ChinMing ChekTi Dareesh YongXiang WeiLing YuePeng Melissa came back.
For the 2013 batch, Mei Shuan came back.

So, well, if you don't add in the old members (members which joined since or before last year), the newbies are almost as much as the bekas.

We asked the juniors what is going on in school.
And from them, we knew, things changed. A lot.
Hari Sukan will be around May and AGM will be in June.
And since the school building is renovating and the new principle set up many new rules, so we might expect that there will be no Majlis Ulang Tahun, no Hari Koperasi, no Combine Camp, and they probably will not have Kem Tahunan and Minggu Pengcegahan Kebakaran (but they say they will try to fight for it).

改革了。
光华国中课外团体最辉煌的年华就是 2014 2015 这两年。
今后，课外活动应该要开始面临 Zaman Gelap

Moreover, this batch of Bombas do not have a camera, so they cant take pictures during activities.
This is a disadvantage, because by posting pictures on Facebook, you can update the news with bekas, keep it as a memory, or as a propaganda to attract members, and also you will have materials when you need to do a slideshow.

So its very sad.
You know how useful are the pictures? If I didn't bring my camera along during last year, then we will miss out many nice moments.
Even the slideshow that they showed us today, about half of those pictures are taken by me.

However, great things happen and great people are born during hard times.
Hope that all of you must never forget the traditions of Kwang Hua Units, and revive them when the time is right.
