What a hectic month it has been for Hall 4! The month of September saw 17 of our very own residents sworn into office and the 22nd Junior Common Room Committee (JCRC) taking up the mantle to serve the hall for the next working year. As the Euphoria/ Mid Autumn Festival 2008 “Mirage On The Horizon” was first major event since the formation of the committee, we were all excited to catch a glimpse to what the 22nd would offer us in the coming year.
MAF/Euphoria Celebrations
We were not disappointed. The Social secretaries did themselves proud as our hall dressed up for this event with pretty lanterns and the awesome banner by Publicity formed the backdrop for the stage. Emceed superbly by resident linguist Royston and our eloquent Hall Queen Lu Bin, the event kicked off with Senior Hall Fellow, Prof Yap, giving a speech to the crowd of residents. While out of Pulau Nanyang, one might catch up on old times over a cup of coffee; here in Hall of Residence 4, we do it with style- we caught up over steamboat. Games were played; food was won by the respective tables. As the residents exchanged banter with each other over dinner, they were well entertained by delightful performances led by the Sing and Strum as well as the Chinese Drama. Even the occasional slight drizzle could do nothing to dampen the high spirits of the people who attended the event. The event came to an end too quickly for some with the cutting of the birthday cake for our Hall, with the birthday song led by our resident Project Superstar runner- up Nathaniel.
Happy Birthday, Hall 4!
All in all, it was a job superbly done by the 22nd and it surely whetted the appetites of the residents, who can only imagine and look forward to future exciting events in the year ahead.
