NUS Students braved the scorching sun to turn up in full force for Rag Day 2009 at the Sports and Recreation Centre on Aug. 8.
Presided over by the NUS Chancellor, His Excellency President S R Nathan, the stage was finally set for the competing faculties and halls of residences to showcase their innovative works of art after three months of sweat and sacrifice, and they did not disappoint.
The colourful assortment of floats paraded around the field was complemented by a sea of relentlessly cheering students decked in the colours of their respective faculty or hall. It was a sight not to be missed. Facing stiff competition, the School of Business was crowned the Overall Champion for Faculty Clubs while Kent Ridge Hall took the plaudits for emerging as the Overall Champion for Halls of Residence.
The Observer presents a taste of the proceedings for those who missed the fun.  Faculty of Engineering freshmen cheering their hearts out.  Size does not matter: The small but vocal Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences contingent in action.   Chief Guest of Honour - His Excellency President S R Nathan.   The School of Medicine students showcased their prowess, grooving to the beat of Rihanna's "Disturbia".     Performances put up respectively by Temasek Hall, Kent Ridge Hall, Raffles Hall, Eusoff Hall and the alumni.  The NUS Staff proved they were no less than the students as they moved and grooved to the beats of popular tracks. Who would have thought!  Performers from Kent Ridge Hall, the Overall Champion for Halls of Residence. |
