Custodes Terra Meeting 27th February

Yo, what’s up, people?

Our beloved Custodes Terra Club held a meeting in the Physics Lab on the 27^th of February. Well, it wasn’t really IN the Physics Lab, because there was an outdoor activity. A treasure hunt. To be more specific, a treasure hunt that involves green knowledge. Yeah.

It was cool, I guess – and a hearty congratulations and a slap on the back for the faithful Custodes Terra members who were present. Wow, I kind of guessed that the number of members present would decrease slowly but surely, but I have underestimated these members. Even thought it was going to be the end of the second month; there were more than a hundred members who came. That’s awesome. But the amount of noise made… dude. But I guess you win some, you lose some, huh?

HAHAHA. Get it? Dynamic equilibrium?

Okay, so anyway – we held a treasure hunt. Our new vice president; Anati, was in charge of handling the meeting, along with our new secretary; Alya Zulaikha. Sound pollution increased, and they couldn’t use the microphone unfortunately, as there was something wrong with it. Technical problems.

So these people had to raise their voices and all, and there was a bit of a confusion going on. It seems like there were two group fives – another two groups of, um… something else. Though I don’t know how that happened. Alya seemed to do a pretty swell job of dividing people up with her mental arithmetic (which takes a lot of mentality, because of the number of heads bobbing in the lab). Then, Anati gave out the clues – everyone received the same clue, and they rushed to their first destination – which would be the surau’s water harvesting tank.

There was a hubbub there too, as the person who held on to the next clue was told to hide – and she hid REALLY WELL. Ema Marya managed to blend in with the crowd, and no one seemed to notice that she didn’t belong to any group. I would have been fooled too, because seriously, the number of people swarming around was just too many. Like, um… maggots in infested food or something.

Then when the groups rushed around; some of the last groups found that there weren’t enough clues. They didn’t get any clues; and there was a bit of a commotion. No one knows where the clues went, as the clues were checked several times before being given to the holder. Either the holders ate the clues, or the clues just magically disappeared. Personally, I don’t think the holders ( Ema, Khairah, Durrah, Maryam, Ila) would be that hungry.

Well, the last clue was to find Anati and register – Anati was trying to put white pebbles around the stepping stones in the Herbs Garden – when just a few minutes later, a group came whizzing by and one of the members grabbed her like a hunter would grab a rabbit.

After that, more groups appeared and registered. Once registered, they waited for the other groups to arrive in the Physics Lab. It was surprising how fast the groups managed to solve the clues, and especially how fast they ran. Dude, if they ran like that in the road run held annually, they could win BIG. Once everyone was in the lab, Alya and Anati sorted out the winners. Only to find that only one group managed to glean all the clues. The first few groups were fast; but most of them didn’t get the clues from Ema.

Well. There’s a lesson to be learned from all this. Planning is important – and never play hide and seek with Ema. HAHAHA. After that though, Anati apologized and said the treasure hunt wasn’t really planned out as they didn’t have ample time. So to pass the time, they had a quiz. Some people could answer, some couldn’t.

Most of the people who couldn’t were absent during the Bio-Enzyme Workshop. To the people who were absent then, click on the a bio-enzyme post put up in the past. You’ll understand more.

After the quiz, our newly-elected president; Syafiqah, took over. She announced that there would be eco books supplied to each member. These eco books are used to accumulate eco points. A certain number of eco points can earn you more koko marks; and even a position in the board in future. So guardians, step up and be a HERO. Not just any hero, but a proactive hero, and we’ll all be heroes together.

So, people, I think this marks the end of this post. Just a reminder, but this blog gets updated every weekend, be it Saturday or Sunday. Visit the Sri Aman Planeteers on Facebook too, which is our club’s official Facebook page. Usually, important notices are posted there – or at the notice board in school, and even this blog.

Until next time, then.
