rag's over. and i'm happy. no its not one of those "good riddence" sort of happy, but the sort of happy you feel upon completing something you never thought possible at the beginning. our float might not even be a fraction as grand and gasp-inducing as others, but what mattered to me was that it was beautiful in my eyes.

the two respective faculties i have been with in the past two years did not win anything but looking at it from another perspective, i've realised the verity of keyou's statement made last year - the fact that we managed to parade a float on rag day is an achievement, and hence a triumph in itself, something all the more true for the USP float this year.

no matter how tired and irritable it makes me feel, or how sleep deprived i am, or how i smell after not showering for more than a day, i love rag. and i will gladly do it again next year. and to all the USP raggers i've had the pleasure of working with this year, i hope i won't be alone in making this commitment.

btw, jae just told me that he lost 2kg during the course of rag. congrats jae. i hope you become the rag PD next year and you'll end up looking like junwen at the end of it all. =)
