Matriculation Fair 2008 (FASS)


Being in the Matriculation Fair is the first time we're being recognised in a school event, and we already got into trouble with some student bodies. What a great way to start the year!

Trouble finding us at the Fass fair however didn't really spoil all the fun. We got 120 students to sign up! And, we got to flirt...I mean, make friends with all sorts of students. Wilson got to show off his tricks, and Shamil and Saddiq put their charm to the test by harassing all the ladies who passed by (so, don't be surprised if we get 90% female members at the end of the recruitment). And one guy, named Mizra (hope I got that right) who self-proclaimed that he was one of the club's founders showed up for the first time. Although he didn't stay up for the rest of the afternoon, he was a big help in getting potential members and in entertaining us with his amusing dance moves. And let's not forget Riya, who provided us with sweets that kept some of our energy up, and who also made great sacrfices for the club (which will not be mentioned here) but which all turned up as a blessing in disguise because she got to join almost 80% of the clubs in school and make some cool friends along the way.

If we started on the wrong foot with some students, we seriously didn't mean to. We're new to all this. Because like what our shirts say, we take control. Maybe, we just had a little hard time adjusting.

Peace! ;)
