HEY ALL!!! My first post for this blog! Haha. Why am I blogging? Because today, 2 girls have signed up to become dancers! Yay, let's welcome
Nadine and
Dora to the big family of Raggers! Hope that we'll work together to make this Ragging experience a meaningful and fulfilling one ya?
Nadine had asked me if dance rehearsals are going to be on a daily basis, as printed on the flyer. Haha. I need you guys to help me assure people that it's only going to be twice/thrice a week (weekends are totally untouched!) okay? But it's so nice to know that despite such scary catchphrases (I remember one line for the techies... "cutting cans and cutting our hands"), people are still interested to do their part for Arts. And of course, credit must also go to all who had made this possible... taking time off to man the publicity booth despite it being the mugging period. I'm sure the Arts population has gotten the chance to know more about Rag but we still have a long way to go in getting passionate and committed people to work with us.
I'm also really heartened to see that the Rag team getting to know each other better during such opportunities and I must say that it's very crucial to lay the foundation for team spirit and strong friendships from an early stage because we'll be sticking hip-to-hip, head-to-head cutting cans, sawing metal for the next 3 months. So three cheers for Friendship!!! One more week before the exams commence so do work hard everybody!!! Will look forward to ragging once the dreaded papers are over and done with.
XOXOXO

haha, sorry for this late post! i was hoping that someone will blog this time round instead of me again and again but i figured that no one is going to do so thus i shall be the blogger again! hahaha, i don't mind la, just complaining a bit because got test tomorrow but it's ok because rag is more important! (actually is don't feel like studying. :P) also, i am glad to be of service by informing fellow raggers of all the things that is happening in rag now! (:
going on to the finale of be raggerfied 2007, the attendance rocks!!! hahaha, oh man, when all of us set off from school to clementi for the rag dinner right, it was one whole gang of us la! i met friends on the way who told me that we looked impressive, one whole big group of us going out to have dinner together!!! haha, before i start going on about the dinner, want to thank every single ragger who made the effort to be there! they are,
kenneth our dear pd,
applie our dear dance dpd,
nicholas our dear tech dpd,
shu ping our dear treasurer,
kit geok our dear secretary,
serene and
yuen kim our dear pr i/cs,
mei ling our dear welfare i/c,
jackson our dear marketing i/c,
michelle our dear fop chairwoman,
jack our dear logistics i/c and last but not least
jasmine our dear rag snr representative! ;) thank you every single one of you for being in this part of the memory of Rag 2007!!! ^-^ rag would be nothing without all of you! every single person counts!
so, all of us left from the clubroom at around 6.30pm for the bus-stop. thank goodness the bus was empty if not all of us cant squeeze up the bus then very sad liao. yep yep, all of us were chatting happily to one another on the bus journey to our eating place. when the bus reached right, the bus uncle dunno y super impatient because he keep wanting to close the door when some of us have not alighted loh. diaognz. when we reached the claypot coffeeshop, the whole gang of us waited for the table to be set up because there was simply too many of us thus need special arrangements, heez. after seating down, both father and son (
jack &
jackson :P) took over the responsibility of ordering food and drinks for all of us. haha, jack did not know the english translations of the dishes thus
jackson took over and wrote weird initials instead, haha. i think the coffeeshop ppl all know
jackson very well already loh, given the fact that he forever always bring people there to eat one, hahah.
after ordering, all of us started talking crap, i also forgot what crap liao. just know it's funny crap because i only remember all of us laughing a lot. haha, i think for this particular dinner, other than eating, the other thing that we did most is laughing. the whole atmosphere at the dining table is very heart-warming, fun and amicable, i believe that all of us enjoy ourselves totally throughout the dinner. then the dishes start coming one after another with the vegetables first. chilly kangkong and potato leaves. yummy yum yum! even though they were spicy, it was fried so nicely that the taste is bagus! haha, then
kenneth start going on about why he don't see the reason behind ordering vegetables as he feels that they are the same as the leaves on the trees. -_-" haha, raggers, our dear pd is a hardcore carnivore! haha,
jasmine got a video of this as evidence! next up is the most delicious dish on earth, kong bao chicken!!! omg! eat already can fly one! haha, don't believe can just go and try urself or ask those that went! haha, definitely worth the price loh! haha, we even had a kong bao chicken gang aka
michelle,
serene,
shu ping,
kit geok and
yuen kim because they finished their whole plate in record speed even before the claypot rice came! hahaha. then not soon after the tofu came still steaming and bubbling!!! oh man, the prawn in the tofu is god send! so yummy and chewy!!! so so so fresh!!! wooohoooo! haha, we were waiting and waiting and waiting before the most awaited rice came!
3 claypot rice!!! haha,
jackson and
kenneth started serving all of us by taking up the initiative to prepare the rice by firstly removing the meat and stuff on top, then add soya sauce and oil and finally stir and mix!!! hahaha, very funny because for
jackson, he did not add enough soya sauce thus the taste not enough; for
kenneth is the other way round, he added so much soya sauce the rice was evidently much darker than that of
jackson's. haha, but all the rice in the end still tasted great!!! haha, in the meantime,
jasmine used her camera to take down all this memorable moments and a lot of the photos come out really funny.
mei ling tried to shun from photos but failed most of the time, hehez. :P
applie even got hurt and thought that
mei ling don't like her that's why dowan take pic tgt w her, haha. to see them for yourself, you can go to the following url,
http://s157.photobucket.com/albums/t61/artsrag2007/9%20april%202007%20dinner/ we also ordered soups!!! the soups there are also nice because they really use a lot of good ingredients! sssslllluurrrpppp. ;)
the whole dinner took us around one hour and all of us really had our fill!
nicholas joined us late but he was in time because we still kept quite a portion of food for him and we also couldn't finish all of them ourselves despite all of us going more than one round. oh ya,
jackson treated all of us drinks! thanks
jackson! next time shall be pd
kenneth's turn already! all in all, every single one of us present have enjoyed ourselves thoroughly i believe because it has been for me! this year's rag will be a happy rag i believe, there may be ups and downs, ins and outs but we can overcome them all as long as we stand by each other! for now, all raggers work hard and mug hard and jia you for the finals ya? we can do it! let's chiong now and then we can have more fun and bond more together after exams at rag! rmb that 1st day of rag

think all the pressure and stress from all the deadlines of projects, essays and reports are taking a toll on fellow Raggers, judging from the attendance we see during Raggerfying events. but it's ok because there will be a lot more such chances for us to come together and bond in future especially after our final exams!!! however before we start hitting the books, cooping ourselves in our room or in library mugging hard for all the cursed modules which we have to do well in, there is the
finale to Be Raggerfied 2007!!! it will be this
coming Monday (9/4)! pls pls pls keep the day free or best make time for it ya? know everyone's busy with a lot of things, all of us are ya? let's just hope that all of us can treasure this last chance for us Raggers to come together, bond and have fun ya? for those that have valid reason for not joining us, do not feel bad or sad because sure there'll be more such chances in future when Rag starts de! as for the rest, if ur reason for not turning up is becos u nd to study, pls reconsider ok? a few hrs off ur books wont kill rite? ok enough of nagging, let's see what we've done for part 2!
before we start on what we wanted to complete for second part of Be-Raggerfied, there was something comical that took place spontaneously. as our dpd tech
nicholas have been going around getting people to be shocked by his electrified bubble gum, e guys (
lionel, kenneth & caleb) decided to teach him a lesson in clubroom. they started off by asking
nicholas to surrender all his handphone gadgets plus knives and finally his bubble gum. after which they held him hostage on e black sofa nearest to e fridge in clubroom by pinning him down. then they started e gruelling process of trying to let
nicholas have a taste of his own medicine by shocking him with the bubble gum. e whole process is super duper funny and we even have a video of it in
jasmine's camera! haha, it was real hilarious as e gals (
shu ping, xin yu, michelle & wynne) all hid in e office for fear of overreaction by
nicholas while laughing like mad as we watched on in glee. in e end
lionel had to sacrifice his finger to make e thing work & e expression on
nicholas' face after e shock was classic! hahaha.
after which e whole gang of us (
kenneth, nicholas, shu ping, xin yu & michelle) armed ourselves with plastic gloves and black trash bags and started off for engine fac. we were reali scouting thru e rubbish bins and recycling collection points in e engine fac and even at bus-stops too! haha, bet those ppl in e bus-stop waiting for bus must b wondering wat e hell we're doing loh. haha, even thou it was not sth glorious or confortable to do, it was undeniable that we had fun! along the way,
mei chen, guan jie and
mei ling joined us too!!! after a while, we got inside info via
caleb tt src may hav materials we want thus we went there & found treasure! hahaha, initially we were wondering how to carry them back to e arts fac but guan guan came to e rescue!!! hahaha, w
guan guan's van, we managed to transport our fruits of labor for e night back to e clubroom!!!
guan guan u rock!!! ^-^ also,
mei ling cut her hair!!! wooohooo!!!
look different but it was a good change cos look pretty pretty!!! ;)
upon reaching back arts fac, we started the can & bottle cleaning & drying in e toilets! wah... e smell is really sth u'll rmb for life & e washing part is def 1 thing u wont want to do rite after e meal cos cfm plus chop for those w weak stomach will throw up & waste food de. but, it is still not able to b compared to what some of us went thru last yr during Rag loh. haha, some form of practice/recce 1st b4 e actual thing!!! anyway, many hands do wonders thus we manage to complete eth ard 9pm!
we managed to collect a lot of plastic bottles this time round! also got a piece of tampolin sheet! hahaha,
Be-Raggerfied Part 2, success!!! :) let's hope e finale of Be-Raggerfied will be full of fun and laughter and memorable events that can be blogged here next time~! :)) everyone rmb our date for e coming Monday ok?
cya & tk care in e meantime!
