Please give your fullest and utmost support to the new Fac Comm, who are your peers, your faculty mates and your CT Reps, for the upcoming year! We promise nothing but our best and our all to make Athena THE faculty you love, THE faculty you are proud of and THE faculty where you would have an enjoyable, fun and exciting year ahead.

To all faculty committee nominees, we would love to say a BIG THANK YOU for all your efforts. We are extremely proud to have so many great individuals from our faculty who are willing to serve Athena and we really appreciate it! We sincerely thank you once again.

We would also like to take this chance to show our utmost gratitude and appreciation to our senior Fac Heads and Fac Comm for putting in so much effort and time into making Athena the imbAthena it is today. We love you! <3faccomm0809!

On another note, do look out for upcoming events such as Combined Sports Meet next Wednesday where we’ll be cheering our hearts out for our brave atheletes fighting for us! Bring the spirit and enthusiasm we experienced and are so proud of during Orientation along on that day and we’ll rock the place. Gah, we actually rock anywhere and everywhere we go. (:

The new Fac Comm will promise to do a phenomenal job and to do so, we hope that you can be as awesome as ever like you were in the past 5 months! (:

“Why we so imba? Cos we’re Athena!”

Lots of love,
Wenshan and Huiying

And we thank you for making it happen!

Hey Athena!

First of all, I need to apologise for this horribly late post. (we all had some catching up to do after the event :X)

That aside, let’s take a look at what made it so much fun!

Attendance: (go count.. remember to multiply by 2 to include those at the ice cream booth)

Fun:

Food:

Games:

Now you see it…

Now you don’t.

Awesome-ness factor:

Bonding:

And of course, the Fac Prince:

It was so good, other people wanted to join us…

Hi everyone, I am Linus, and together with Guo Dan (the other event I/C), we call ourselves LG, coz life’s good with LG (hahahaha). With all sincerity, we thank everyone for coming, and we hope that everyone had lots of fun while getting to know a few Athenians better.

The Athena Faculty Committee 08-09 has come a long way since May last year and this is probably going to be the last you will hear of us. Many things have happened since we started, but I believe we can basically sum it up with the names of our past three events:

Back when we first started, people were doubtful of our capabilities because we didn’t get to win that silly game known as the Faculty Shield Challenge. But we showed them that a Faculty goes far beyond material Faculty Points and Faculty Shields… who needs shields when you have a burning spirit? We demonstrated a Green Revolution, showed everyone GreenWorks, and made Athena the Envy of the Seven Seas :D

For the J2s, thank you for your continual support for our events.
For the J1s, thank you for bringing the spirit back to life. You guys have been the MOST enthusiastic, the MOST motivated bunch of people I’ve ever seen.

Since this is probably going to be the last time I am posting on the faculty blog, I would like to end it off with a personal touch, something I wrote on my blog the night after GreenWorks.

I turned around to face the crowd, and we led them in cheer, for the last time.
“Athena Ke-ba-ba”!
The words didn’t even make sense to me, but as the crowd replied with equally silly words, that didn’t seem to matter anymore
Then it ended, and we made our way off the stage.

“A-A-Athena!”, the crowd began to cheer.

I smiled to myself as I hopped off our makeshift stage made of canteen tables that we brought to the central plaza with the help of many volunteers.
And I thought to myself, ” We’ve done a good job.”

All this, from us, to you, with love.

The 30th of April is a very important date.
It was not only the eve of a public holiday (labour day),
or the day in which we had our super awesome faculty event, GreenWorks.
It was the day which marked a very important end, and a new beginning for Athena.
It was the day, our new faculty heads were chosen.
Wenshan and Hui Ying.
The successors.
Wilson and Matthew,
The predecessors.
Continue to give your fullest support to your new faculty heads, as much, or even more than what you gave us (:
Together with 09/10 fac com, they would write a new chapter.
ALL THE BEST!
Wilson and Matthew
