HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TERRARISTS!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO Orientation was over a week ago and we really hope you guys had a blast!!! A big THANK YOU to all the freshmen for being ever so enthusiastic, from the Walk-In to Station Games to The Quest to the Dance Competition to War Games to the DANCE PARTY and right till the very end of the 5 day Programme. You guys were simply awesome and we believe everyone including all the WONDERFUL TYRAZ OGLS had an experience of a lifetime. Most importantly, remember to bring forward the experience of Orientation throughout your stay in NJC, cherishing all the friendships you have forged during this period and continue to find joy and fun in whatever you do (:
With that, we now move on to the first NE Cup event of the year: CNY!!!!!
Chinese New Year Celebrations this year will take place on the 6th of February. There are 3 House events under this year's CNY (:
Fashion Show
One representative from each house will dress up as 福，禄，寿，喜， 财，运，wearing a suitable costume. (福 – terra, 禄 – lignum, 寿-- solaris, 喜-aqua, 财- ignis, 运- aerius) The traditional costume can made using any materials, including recycled materials.
On the day itself, the emcee will introduce福，禄，寿，喜， 财，运 one by one as if it is a fashion show. The representatives are expected to bring little gifts to distribute to the students to bring up the atmosphere. They are also encouraged to continue wearing their costumes for the entire day.
Lantern-making Competition
Every class will submit a hand-made lantern. The theme for this competition is '鼠年'. There is no restriction to the materials used to make the lantern. The dimensions of the lantern should be roughly 50cm X 50cm. The lanterns will be judged by the teachers and put up along the stretch of corridor outside the I&E hub.
Calligraphy and Jianzhi Competitions
The competitions will be held on the day of the celebrations itself. Each class will send 4 representatives to take part in both competitions each.
Don't limit your creativity for the Lantern-Making Competition, and most importantly, HAVE FUN MAKING IT TOGETHER AS A CLASS (: (Trust us when we say that lantern making is highly addictive)
Oh, and calligraphy is very fun as well (: If possible, try to send a non-Chinese representative from your class and let them have fun experiencing the Chinese culture (:
Ok, that's it from us for now. To end off, here's a picture of all TYRAZIANS doing a certain famous cheer (:
EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
