Holiday/OP Comms 09/10 Update

Dear alumni,

Flag & Rag 09/10 is less than 50 days away and our Flaggers and Raggers have been hard at work throughout the holidays raising funds and creating something out of recycled materials. Here is the NUSSU synopsis for the upcoming RAG:


Freshmen Orientation Central Committee Rag & Flag 2009

Exploding Colours, Exuberating Zest

Exploding Colours

‘Colours’ symbolise the diversity of the NUS population. Just as the many colours one can think of, there are many students of different backgrounds – be it their ethnicity, nationality or even their upbringing. One can see the rainbow consists of a myriad of colours, much akin to the diversified NUS student population. We may be different in many ways, but we weather the hardship and challenges together as one NUS, to finally produce that rainbow for all to see – the display of the floats, a testimony of accomplishment.

To explode is to burst forth and hence ‘Exploding Colours’ conveys the message of uncontrolled enthusiasm and vibrancy brought forth by the diversity of the NUS community that we will witness at the 51st Rag & Flag!

Exuberating Zest

On the 2 historic dates of Flag (4th Aug 09) and Rag (8th Aug 09), we witness the uninhibited zest within each and every NUS student. The effusive passion and spirit will be evident during Flag when throngs of NUS students do their part in the fund raising effort for all of our beneficiaries. The abounding gusto will be on display during Rag, as each Faculty and Hall takes their turn at impressing the audience by showcasing their carefully constructed floats with pride.

There is a first for everything, so for the fifty-first Rag & Flag come August 2009, witness the exploding colours, exuberating zest!

Are you already wondering what our Raggers are planning for? We sure are! This is an appeal going out to all alumni to help out in Rag Rush when time permits. Of course we don't mean the entire stay-up-through-the-night kind of Rag Rush, but if you are in hall visiting or for some reason or another, do pop by the Rag area and give the Raggers a cheer or help cut some squares for ten minutes or so. Similarly, give the Flaggers and other OP-commers (FWOCers and Tech Support crew) a hearty pat on their backs when you see them around! It's the thought that counts and that's the best form of support we can give them!

Also, all are invited to the annual S.W.O.C. We are never too old to play! Details as follows:

Date: 4-5th July
Venue: KR Hall + SRC

For those missing the mass dances, here are this year's mass dance practices:

18th June: 8-10p.m
19th June: 8-10p.m
26th June: 10p.m-12a.m

ALL ARE WELCOME!

Do you think you know alot about the KING OF FRUITS - DURIANs?

Well, take a look at the 5 fascinating facts abt durians below

1. The durian is commonly known as the "king of the fruits." The name comes from the Malay word duri, meaning "thorn."

2. Durians cannot be plucked from the tree. You have to wait for durians to drop. The fruit usually drops at night.

3. Durians freeze well, either in the rind or just the pulp sections removed from the shell. You can keep durians that have been frozen for months.

4. The smell of a durian has been compared to overripe cheese, rotting fish, unwashed socks, a city dump on a hot summers’ day. Famed movie directors and scriptwriters Ethan and Joel Coen (known as the Coen brothers or the two-headed directors) rated durians as being among the smelliest things on earth.

5. There are more than 300 types durians just in Thailand alone. The most exquisite of all is the 'blue blooded' meat. have you seen it?

Now its your chance, join us in KR ALUMNI INAUGURAL

Thanks on Wine Tasting


Wine Tasting today was a Funtastic session. Stretching 7 batches and some friends of KR Alumni, everyone had something to talk about over the 4 wines we tasted and tasty german sausages, cheese and Flammkuchen (a form of pizza much better as agreed by most.)

Mr Leonardo had given us a great intro to the various wines and most loved the last one Shereuber, a form of dessert wine.

Our Dearest JCRC members supporting as at our events

More romantic with wine?


Unfortunately friends who support KR Alumni are too shy to show their face, so they show more hair instead.



Big Serene and Dora lee (before one turns red and the other remains, make a guess)



All that sausages......



And all that cheese.

Rating: 8/10
Nice atmosphere, great hosts, great food. Location good.
Air conditioning could be better with doors closed. Parking could be a problem. Slightly costly food but cheaper by european standards.
