It was an unforgettable afternoon of fun as the four faculties came together for the annually Festival of Sports. On this day, 27th of October, Hwa Chong’s campus was flooded by an ocean of colours, namely GREEN, red, yellow and blue. Just like any sporting event, there had to be winners and losers at the end of the day. Yet, what really mattered to us was the fighting spirit of the athletes 😀 . Though some of them were at a disadvantage, NONE of them gave up. For that, everyone is a winner 🙂

okay, let’s talk no more……. pictures speak a thousand words 🙂

Guess what sport our fac prince was playing? It was by no way a coincidence that girls swarmed the volleyball courts.

Serving…

Serving……

Look at the intensity of their eyes

Time for a team cheer? Looks like our fac prince refuses to join in the team cheer. Like the famous phrase always goes…every team needs a hero and every hero needs a team. Looks like Mr fac prince should reconsider doing the cheer with the rest of the team!

Friendship – one of the olympic values

Strong. nuff said

Showing some ball control skills

Looks like nothing can stop a raging lion… I mean owl 🙂

Never give up the chase!

GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!!

Sportsmanship. Though we wear different colours on the field, at the end of the day….we are still ONE HWACHONG

Jiayou everyone!

No way through the man wall

come and get the ball….. if you can 🙂

And the fac comm was there to cheer everyone on! UP AND ON ATHENA!

To all Athenians who participated in this year’s FOS, we’d like to say a big thank you for all the effort and time you’ve put in! You guys did well and brought glory to our fac! Thanks a lot for that!

And to all supporters who came down, thanks a lot for helping to cheer your friends on! Seriously it’s a whole lot better to be playing with the support of your friends! Thank you very much for your time!

Last, but most importantly, we (fac comm) really really really hope that everyone had fun! It was a wonderful afternoon, indeed.

Love,
Your Sports I/Cs

By the way, we still need people for Girls Basketball. So, all girls out there, if you would like to play for your faculty on 27 Oct, pls do inform your CT reps so that they can tell us!!!

thanks you

Once again,
Your Sports I/Cs

7 more days to the long awaited faculty event of the year…

煮-ON

Heres something for you guys to enjoy.

Just before the banner was hung up, late one night on 20th October.

This coming Halloween…

The Athena Faculty Committee presents…

Something big, something dark and something sizzling hot.

The much awaited and critically acclaimed faculty event of the year:

Ju-On, otherwise known in the hanyupinyin form as zhu3on1, is a Halloween-themed faculty event where all Athenians are invited to a splendid steamboat buffet and a magnificent feast. The night will be filled with fun, laughter and excitement as a whole series of thrilling games and performances have been lined up just for you.

Your CT reps will be collecting the attendance from you as a class very soon! (:

See you there on 31st October, 6:30 pm in the Central Plaza.

Ju-On, coming to a central plaza near you.

On the 20th of October 2009, the faculty of Athena gathered to watch representatives from their classes eat donuts;

Large sugary donuts;

Large sugary donuts hanging off the end of a bright green raffia string in the hands of their fellow classmates on the bridge.

Chowed down using only their mouth.

In the fastest speed possible. In misery. In frustration. And for some, in glee.

Presenting… our Donut King. 😀

__________________________________________________________________

Now just when we were expecting to sink our teeth into and fill our empty grumbling stomachs with a nice, sugary-sweet, fresh, crisp donut, we encountered one small tiny twist.

No sugar, no creamy fillings, no oreo, no chocolate, no hazelnut, no tiramisu, no sliced almonds, no flavours.

Yup, that’s right, our donuts came… topless. Plain. Just a tad bit boring.

Or… maybe not so boring.

Armed with Peanut butter, Chocolate spread, Milo and Honey Stars cereal, Blueberry jam, Kaya, Rainbow rice, Maple syrup, White chocolate chips, and Oreo, we Athenians got creative.

Scooping… spreading… smearing…

Dunking… dipping… sprinking… CREATING

BREAKFAST.

Together as one faculty, ATHENA.
<3
