Went to NUS rag day @ Padang yesterday. Usually the event is held at nus but this year they bought it out of sch to padang. Met up with sinyee at around 1230 then go together to meet up with the rest of the guys.. This year's theme is 'Discover the passion, Witness the spirit'
KE came up with the concept of a stadium to express the passion & spirit of fellow sportsmen, especially in remembrance with the recent closure of the national stadium. The set was really nice; those guys have really slog their heads out for that (xin ku le!!).
The show starts at around 3pm with the arrival of a few ministers & the president who is an alumni (but left right after the hall floats, which was a bit...well..too bad for the faculty floats). The show kicked off with the floats of the six halls. It was really spectacular to see the splendid designs & mechanisms of the floats and the wonderful dance by the float dancers..wow!!
Liked Eusoff hall's float..really put up a good show. Long time champions Kent Ridge on the other hand was quite disappointing this year..prefer their train last year to this year's plane. KE put up a splendid show too with the stadium & sports..
After the halls came the faculties. Usually the faculty floats aren't as nice as the halls', mostly just a few backdrops & dancers. This year was not bad, at least a few faculties like science, arts, sde came up with not-too-bad floats..
After the show came the results. Sheares is the big winner this year, winning most of the awards including the Chancellor's Shield. KE did not bad too, winning the most creative & most environmental friendly award. Can tell that the guys are a little disappointed not having win the best float award but still guys..great job le!! Next year jia you again ya!!
Best float award goes to Eusoff while Kent Ridge is the big winner for flag but didn't really get much for float. Guess they are disappointed too ba having being the strongest team among the halls. Raffles as usual didn't win any & i think they also anticipated it as the space for raffles was empty way before the prizes are given out (dunno whether to pity them or laugh..)
After that, met up with sinyee, kah hsiung & qianhong for dinner. Went to Thai Express at Citylink mall. Then after that walked a little at Raffles city before going back. Realized that my nose peeled after bath..expected after sitting under the hot scorching sun the whole day. Hope i didn't get too dark..
