6th August 2010 was a very special day in NUS! A really memorable day for many students. Its called ‘Rag Day’, in short for Receiving and Giving. On this day itself, all the different faculties/halls in NUS would present their float and a short performance to the judges.. & Why is it memorable? Because they’ve worked on it for months. Look at how spectacular the floats look! If you’re wondering what floats, its like those you see during Chingay performance! But of course the faculties and halls were allocated with a certain budget and they can do up their float in whatever manner they’d like it.

This year is a little more special, because Rag day is in conjunction with the YOG torch lighting ceremony (?)..

Really glad I made a trip down to NUS to catch Rag day! :] I love the floats! I was mad impressed.

I’ll continue with photos! :D

Little NUS lion mascots found in our goodie bag! :D Mine was an abnormal mutated lion with BLUE mane. HAHA.

Yessss, they are actually balloons! So pretty eh! :D They were released to start off Rag Day 2010!

I think this is made by the faculty of … ? I can’t rememberrrr, sorry!

A back view! :P

There was a screen that telecasted the performance because basically only the judges & some VIPs in the grand stand can see the performance at the best angle.. We all had to look at the screens or admire from far.

 

I think this is from faculty of Dentistry..

Their dancers.

Pretty cute theme..

I can’t remember which faculty does this float belong to.

This is from faculty of law i think.

Faculty of engineering..

There was another hall float that I liked the best, but I didn’t manage to capture it because I left before hall rag started! :C (These few rag floats were captured when I was on my way out of NUS.
