^The ARTS ^Attitude

Such a pity that the track and field meet ended so quickly. I'd been anticipating this day for ages and it all just flashed past in a matter of hours. All of us (the Arts fac) had an awesome time at the meet today and cheered till we almost lost our voices! Xm, Liting, Chongwen, Meeshell, Eileen etc. and I were so engrossed yelling and clapping continuously and a few of us were even wildly jumping up and down by the edge of the track. Im still feeling paralysed from all that overwhelming passion and enthusiasm, and the deafening chorus of cheers. The Arts Fac clearly stood out from all the other faculties throughout the entire meet! All the Science buggers were either slacking or engaging in their own pathetic chatters while all the Arts people were up on their feet, shouting to the max, clapping thunderously, and booing the Science facs the entire time. Remarkably incredible to see the resurrection of the Arts spirit! Be it J1s or J2s, everyone was so completely undivided - rooting the competitors, applauding continuously, some even grooving to the music. With such an exceptional spectacle, I just couldnt resist experiencing an emotional outburst. That sense of belonging to the college, and particularly the Arts fac fully captivated me! At that moment, i couldnt help feeling so touched and also extremely proud to be part of the Arts Fac! Conformity is Dead!

More importantly, we Arts Fac girls emerged champions! And it's the 13th consecutive year that we Arts Fac's girls firmly grabbed the title! Hurray!!! Although the overall champion faculty went to Science D, it's still victory for us! The 03A02/3/4 and 02A03/4 guys who ran the 12x100m today had proven themselves to be true men, clinching 2nd and 3rd place respectively! Whoohoo! Even the 03A02 girls who ran this race were fabulous! It's thanks to them that our points were boosted against the stiff competition and allowed us to take home 1st place! Yeeha! O, and the staff race was so entertaining! Mr Young could really run! We initially didnt believe Ms Kon when she said that Silas Marner could run fast, but we were absolutely taken aback when we witnessed how he sprinted all the way! it was totally baffling but nevertheless, we still roared for him! All of a sudden, it seemed as if everyone regarded him as their idol. Hahahaha...Anyway, the Arts spirit was evidently dominant and its great to know how much we all feel for the Arts Fac!

O well, now that it's all over, we can only wait till the Sea Carnival for another round of the Arts' action and zeal! Hopefully our class will get through the dragonboat heats and bring more glory to our fac! In the meantime, i'll be recuperating from my hoarse voice and swollen palms!
