Two sides
25 May 2008 - 22:20
2 months of hard work, 200,000 of calories burned, 20 buckets of mix sweat and blood, about 2 billions of dead brain cells and insufficient sleep with several occurrences of cursing and swearing, SP Singapore River Raft has finally closed its chapter with us claiming FIRST prize in the FOAMula - One Inter school race. We begin writing a new chapter and has brought School of Business into a new journey that we have least expected to venture on.
Being shunned and looked down upon, we have emerged victorious in front of many amazed eyes that were later filled with agony and rage. Unfairness is what they say but the truth still remains as a fact after all. SB has won the race with dignity and pride. Our moment of glory came with us abiding to standards that were written clearly in black and white which eventually were burned to ashes. If unfairness is their claims, what's more left for us?
POWER RANGER - Singapore Series
The journey started with 5 heroes, with a passion to win and a heart that syn. We have many thanks to these heroes who have made the impossible into possible because they believe in one another's potential to perform.
The Brain Ranger - QianYi
A really big thanks to pink ranger (colour of the brain) for the many ideas you've contributed in making the miracle raft aka turbo car. Though most of your ideas are quite far fetched, but a little fine tuning and filtering, we could turn your ideas realistic. Without your opinions, the raft would have be impossible. Of course we also acknowledge your hard work in cutting the boards for the spoilers and opening the tin of super glue with a 5 cent coin. It is because of the super glue that we could join the parts of the raft together. Many thanks.
The Motivator Ranger - Ivan
The motivator of the team who has been supporting us through out the raft building process. As the black ranger, you have been following us behind in our shadows encouraging us all the way. At times your presence has made things processed so much quicker and more effectively. We thank you for your assistance and really appreciate your effort. Thank you once again.
The Heroic Rangers - Jeremy and Sheng Yuan
The heroes who possess the colours of blue and red. Overcoming their rage with calmness, the balance control of emotion has made us claim victory in today's battle. Your hard work and effort has certainly paid off and has made the victory so much more sweeter and fulfilling. You guys have written a new history with your hands and have made the people around overjoyed. Without your sincere contribution to this event, we couldn't have make it thus far. I hoped this experience will forever stay with you and if you ever happen to forget about it just remember your butt getting cooked on top of the raft. Thank you guys very very much.
The Supporters
We will also like to take this opportunity to thank those who have sent their well wishes and good lucks. A big thanks to the people like Shyanne, Carrie and Vivian from SB who have taken some time off to support the team. Your presence is indeed greatly appreciated as you've forced a certain form of pressure on us to press on. Great thanks.
The team would also like to show our appreciations to the advisors, Mr Caleb and Mr Alex for their assistance in getting tapes and glue. Without your help, our tires could have detached themselves from the raft, floating aimlessly in Singapore River. Many thanks for your jokes too.
On behalf of everyone, we thank the rangers for their effort and the sacrifices they have made for this event. I hoped the experiences we shared will forever be etched in our mind. And with every time we look out to a river, we will be reminded about the happy moments we have during this event.
In every other and any other ways, we thank each and everyone who have made this event so memorable. Either good or bad, the fact is SB has won FIRST PRIZE in SP Inter school Foamula One RACE.
WELL DONE!
P.S. Photos will be put up soon. Need time to gather them. Till then.
A word to our fellow mates who took part in the race:
...simplicity and complexity? what's the different in the end?....
