Read the title again. It's ARTS Rag 2006. Not Rag 2006. This year belongs to Arts. Well, for Rag at least. Darn it, we got the prize snatched from right under our noses. Oh well, life has gotta go on right? We'll be back next year, just you readers watch.
But I gotta admit it was fun and enriching. The people were really cool, the float was awesome, and the dancing was HOT. I still don't understand how I even made it to the dance team. I'm like so COOL lorZ... Totally not HOT at all... Muahaha... Ask me why I committed to the dance and I'll tell you honestly. It was all for the eye candy... I'm not surprised when the seniors said that this year's dancers were the hottest for a long time already. I probably pulled the average standard down by a bit, but.. who cares?
The float was gorgeous too. Totally blew my mind. It demonstrates the power of teamwork and commitment, as well as the heart. Imagine designing a mini-casino just with recycled materials! That's exactly what we did. No, we didn't make the ugly cauliflower. That was... Another faculty la. We did the casino wan. Yup, the one with the spinning roulette wheel and the working slots machine. Yup, the one that everyone was sure would win. Truly a masterpiece. And I helped out! Well, just a little bit of marcheing the bingo balls and sawing here and there. Can't really see my own efforts, just so proud to be part of it.
Arts Rag 2006 has been truly, madly and deeply embedded in whatever uni history I will have. Unforgettable. I'll never forget the tears shed by the seniors when we realized that the trophy wasn't ours. One part of me wanted to hug all of them and wipe their tears away, the other part just trying to keep my own tears from coming out. I was vulnerable enough not wearing a shirt already. These moments kind of give you the drive of madness to want to start Rag 2007 asap so as to put a solid claim to what we know belongs to us. And I mean DIAMOND SOLID.
But not this year I guess. But next year, surely. I'll be back. Definitely. Why not? I've been Raggerfied.
