91st post. Which shows how little I blog. Anyways SECOND update on what's been going on!

FOUNDER'S DAY!

I think this year's founder's day was MUCH MUCH better than last year's. Not that last year's was boring, but because it's greek themed. Which is super cool, esp all those laurel wreaths. And I think our very ego form teacher did a good job :)

Seriously, what is it about RGS and foreign countries? Our motto's in LATIN, our school song's called from high OLYMPUS (which explains the greek theme) and Athena's at our gate, too. Okay so it's just that our school loves greek stuff, the latin part is started with RI and the Auspicium Melioris Aevi (?).

Back to founder's day, like I said, it was way cool this year, with all the greek statues and togas and wreaths and everything. Actually the statues looked kinda freaky, in a cool freaky way. Wu You is too tall! She was the statue with wings in the pretty dress.

Then it started raining after the opening speeches, but it was just a drizzle. The MCs told VIPs to proceed to the hall but then Mrs Hoo said we can just bear with a little rain because WE PROMISE TO GIVE YOU A GOOD SHOW like it was so cool everyone started cheering and it made me really happy. Maybe it's because it's more fun sitting in the Amphi than watching a live telecast (5 seconds late) in class.

Right I shall just summarise everything in one sentence: The performances were fantastic, the theme was fantastic, everything was good.

But I was kinda disappointed that the Arete cheers weren't scary or fierce like they were meant to be. And the Raffles cheers weren't loud enough. It started raining heavily right after the ceremony (we finished just in time!) and Wen Jun let me have a lick off her yummy Turkish ice cream during the reception cause I wasn't allowed to have any due to the fact that I'm not pro enough to perform and I'm not in PB.

I love my school :) And that's the reason why I wouldn't trade my Rafflesianship(and a lot of homework!) for the free time I had in primary school
