double victory

whoo hoo. yesterday was NUS rag day. if you guys dont already know, let me make a short explanation. flag day is a day when you see all NUS students from each fac or hall out in full force, begging for donations all over singapore, to raise money for 20 beneficiaries. rag day a day supposedly to thank those people for their contributions (but i dont see how that's being done). it's like a chingay parade..each hall and fac will showcase their float, a structure made from recycled materials only, and perform a dance.

i used to think rag was stupid and a waste of time. but now i've seen light. months and months of hard work are put into the making of the float, takes skill and lots of brainwork..it's like when you see some of the floats, you'll start thinking.."how on earth did they manage to do that??". *impressed impressed* and oh..it's a fantastic chance to bond with people..funn manz..anyway it was double victory for me, cos both science and eusoff won the chancellor's shield, meaning we were the overall champions.. YAY!!! i'm so proud of my fac and my hall!! not so much for eusoff..cos..urps..it's not surprising that we won..but for sci!! cos the committee worked really hard this year and it's the first time that we won.. :)

i was dying during rag though.. so DAMN hot and everything was progressing at snail's pace..plus i didnt sleep the previous night.. i was falling asleep watching some of the performances. dying manz.. i'm a black charcoal now.

school starting on monday. OH NO! taking less heavy core modules now..no labs for this sem, but that means dying for the next sem. taking film and history, and japanese as my elective modules. jap is 7 hours a week!!
