And aft 1.5mths of dancing and preparing for the big day, it's over~ Can't believe that this journey in RAG has come to and end, but fear not, once a RAGger, always a RAGger. Already set my mind on coming back to help out next year. RAG has definitely been an amazing journey and as I have said on my Insta post, I really treasure the friendship we've forged and the memories we share. Honestly, never really expected myself to step out and do something so different like dance. Although I always wanted the opportunity to dance, I knew I didn't have the talent and ability. Being part of RAG and dance was really something that came across my mind and really blessed to be able to be part of this whole experience. For costumes, we had always been having a lot of fun when we go down to do stuff. But as RAG day drew near, everyone started getting stressed out and really busy. It's really amazing how we managed to make 110+ costumes out from scratch (except the Finale costume which we still spent a whole freaking load of time cutting out the shiny cloth and sewing it onto the shirt to make it the gay pride shirt) Really really thankful for the seniors for spending their holidays helping to design and make the costumes. Also, for tanking through the last week of RAG without sleep just to finish up all the details and basic costumes. Honestly never thought that I would have any contribution to costumes except being hard labour and like maybe cutting out the cloth. Never expected to be able to input ideas for the designs and be able to learn how to use the sewing machine. Ended up being one of the main people at costumes. Really didn't expect that but I guess I did sell my soul to RAG as the deadline drew near. Shall keep this short and say thanks to the seniors and my fellow freshies for carrying costumes to achieve what we achieved.

Notice how the lack of sleep impairs coordination
So tired we ended up on the floor *Moments before boss falls asleep
As for St Jazz... Gotta say sorry for always running away after practice to help out at costumes and not joining you guys for lunch/dinner. All I can say is that you guys are a weird bunch and I like it weird. Thankful that Min Nee and Jaryl accepted me into this dance crew and for teaching me all the dance moves when I'm such a bad dancer. Never expected myself to be able to remember all the moves and stand on the stage to perform. Like I said before (for almost a million times) dance is really not my thing, especially not street jazz (with all the sexy moves and stuff). Never really expected myself to pull off this performance and I have the choreos and the rest of the crew to thank. Thanks guys and gals for helping me out throughout this 1.5 months and thanks for always being so happy and fun to be with. You guys may not know/sense it but I truly appreciate every single one of you. Thanks for the fun and memories through this journey and really look forward to seeing everyone again in the future (more meetups and RAG 2017)

Thanks ButterFingers for coming :)
Much love for this burden that turned up out of no where

Full Attendance for once
RAG face ON
Just before we got chased to dance prac with bubbles
Looks like I pretty much succeeded in keeping this post short and less emo, though I'll probably start crying once I start writing the individual notes.
Here's a sneak peak at our dance during the showcase
Thanks everyone who's been part of this journey in one way or another. Thanks for helping me out and for giving me such a good memory. Thanks for helping me enjoy uni life before the hectic mugging life begins. There's no other words to describe my feelings but LOVE YALL! Cheers, PandaWalwus
One fine day, some 10 years ago, this crazy girl started this random blog to follow the current trend.
10 years later, blogging is no longer the in thing, but she continues to write her random thoughts and experiences with the world.
Sharing her happiness, adventures and reflections.
This blog followed me through my 10 years of education, from secondary school, all the way through university.
There were times when there were no updates, but still it survived.
Despite all these changes in my life, this blog helped me consolidate my thoughts and wishes throughout the years.
Looking back, it has turned into a time capsule .
I hope this a place where others can find some help and answers to their own life questions and as I step into the working world, this blog will continue to live on and include more interesting views on adulthood!
In my free time I like to ...
Make music | Take photos | Play DOTA
Do connect with me on my social media as we look forward to more decades to come!
