Went home after Shimin's party to change and pack! gonna stay over in school tonight, so better change into some comfy clothes and pack in those chargers, camera, phone...and of coz toothbrush and an extra tee.
a once a year event that i dont wanna miss, Rag 2009 is gonna be awesome!
i think only NUS has such a big event, every year on the saturday before national day, we'll have a mini chingay style parade. Preparations for floats and dance begins way back. This year's theme for SDE is Alice in wonderland, so the float is made with a myriad of colours, as bright as possible. Makes u feel happy when u look at it. =)
i havent been to a single rag sesssion this year, so this is gonna be the first time i see the dance. so exciting!!!!!!
so fast and we're already yr 3s, seniors already haha, went down to sch to help do the freshies' make up at 2am, and it went on till around 5am in the morning!
then it was straight to SRC where all the floats and dancers are. same as last year's, the performance will be held in school, no sleep for us, when we got there, kelly n i immediately went to kaypo on other faculty's float...honestly, ours is the best! hehehez =P honestly
.Of course we cant compare to the Halls, theirs are much more extravagant and more intricate compared to faculties. kelly n i both luv the Whale float! and there it is....it's all recycled materials by the way
5 mins dry run, we set at the spectators stand to watch, OH MY GOD! it's AWESOME ! thumbs up! weiting n i were moved to tears...... tears of happiness =)
and finally the moment we've all been anticipating, the actual performance itself, much much better than the dry run of course, all out! Beautiful. once again, we're moved to tears...awwwww well done freshies!
after the performance, we went back to where the float was at and took lots and lots and lots of photos! haha what else to do right....took photos with every single thing on the float, the candys, teacups, flowers blah blah blah
not to mention the weather was sooo excruciatingly hot today, during the break kelly n i decided to hide out at the university hall where we met tyler n jolene. haha also there to hide from the blazing sun! until results time!
This year, WE WON! omg so so so happy! i remember last year we walked away with heavy hearts, but we WON this year! yipppeeeee! 3 AWARDS
