Rag: Passion, Friendship, Triumph

Thursday, July 5, 2007

my turn to blog!!! yeah!! i went back for rag on tuesday and wednesday after my work to join the orientation for the freshies.. heard that a few freshies came to join us.. a very big thank you to all who came and welcome to the RAG family! =) hope all of u will decide to stay with us throughout this long journey.

i guess i should share a bit of my feelings towards rag.. when i was asked to join rag as ocomm.. i thought to myself.. 'hmm.. i heard that rag is all about sai kang, all the shitty stuffs, labour work, long hours of working blah blah..' basically nothing much that i heard abt rag from others is positive.. then i thought to myself again.. 'what's the most important thing for me when i decide to join something?' i dont know about all of u out there who's reading this.. but to me, i've always wanted to try something new, even when i may not seem to be the most suitable person to try the activity.. and i guess many pple like me will be deciding between o week and rag, since the two projects are so close to each other in terms of dates. the deciding factor actually lies in the fact that rag is something that u'll never get to experience or rather have not experienced before in ur sch life. how many times have u been involved in such a grand-scale project, building a float from scratch or performing together with the float? how many times have u been involved in a project that will be held in Padang and is part of the national day celebrations? so i made my decision and decided to join rag instead..

everyone else told me, raggers are all crazy people.. they dont sleep much.. they practically live in school 24/7.. they do rag all the time and have no social life.. i guess what raggers have in their mind is that we are working together as a team, with the same goal in mind, wanting to complete something that has been designed by all of us.. it's just like a basketball team having the same goal to be the champion during the tournament or maybe even like a choir team who aims to get gold with honours during syf.. that's the spirit we have, that's the vision we work towards.. so the determination and spirit do not only belong to the raggers.. it's within all of us.. it's just a matter of us wanting to do it or not..

so i highly appeal to all of u out there.. whether u are an ARTS student from NUS or our incoming freshies for the new academic year.. join us in this long journey. it may be tough at times, but we are always with each other as a team.. it's ok if u are coming alone.. coz u'll find company in us.. nevermind if u have decided to join o week as councillors.. join us on days that u are free.. even when it's just one day or two.. ur help will be greatly appreciated.. come feel the rag spirit.. go through the once-in-a-lifetime experience..
