Yay, Applie is here to blog again! what abouts? RAG ORIENTATION!! here's some long-winded thank you notes to those who had helped make it possible.
First of all, thank you to all the freshies who came down for Rag orientation the past week. It has been exhilarating having you guys around and we really hope to see you again for the next 6 weeks counting down to Rag. It may not be as fun as Arts Camp, nor as exciting as O week promises to be, but it is a fulfilling project that requires not just days of fun-seeking, but months of teamwork, leadership and passion. The friendships you forge extend beyond houses and OGs and the victory that we share will not be just amongst our own friends, seniors but with the entire Arts Faculty, staff and students alike. Do ask all your friends, whether or not they have attended Arts Camp before, to come down to do Rag too!!! Come 11th August, we hope that you'll be down at The Padang with us, realising the moment of glory when months of effort and struggle boil down to that single and final presentation that will make Arts proud.
Secondly, thank you to the seniors who came down to support us despite your busy schedule! You guys did a wonderful job of guiding the freshies and integrating them into the Rag family as well as giving us valuable advice on how we can improve on the project. You guys know who you are... I'm sure the freshies would have also sensed that unwavering fervour for Arts Rag that made you come down year after year. We hope that we'll be able to carry on that tradition of passion and dedication to the following generation of Raggers as well. =)
Lastly, thank you to the committee members for mentoring the freshies during Rag orientation and exposing them to the culture and tradition of Arts Rag. It has not been easy for alot of us considering that we have just returned from Arts Camp, still having the aftermath of sleep deprivation and fatigue. But you guys came down nevertheless, to introduce the freshies to Rag and raggerfying them as much as we can. It was tough, taking into account that there were only those few of us as the rest were tied down to their own commitments elsewhere but I think we managed to pull it off and left an impression on the freshies. It was heartening to see the faces from Day One returning on Day Two, Day Three and onwards. I hope that the new friendships you have forged with them will be lasting and memorable as well!!! Good job, guys and let's work together for this remaining one month, in full speed and force towards Rag Day 2007!
` lets be raggerfied
