Pullover Sizes!

Hey Aresians! For those of you who ordered the pullovers, please check this document here to confirm your pullover sizes!

If your size is incorrect or left blank, please come down to the Fishtank tomorrow from 1.30pm onwards to try on the sample pullovers.

Alternatively, if you have an idea of what size you want already, just SMS the size you want for your pullover, along with your name and class to Bryan (98336899) or Jin Yang (92761711), latest by Friday 11.59pm! Please help spread the message to your friend who ordered pullovers too!

- Ares Fac Comm (:

P.S. The sizes available to order are XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL. The sizes available for trying on are S, M, L.
P.S.S. For those medium sized people who ordered size L, you may want to come down tomorrow to try the samples, because L is really big and many people have downsized from an L to an M!

WORK THAT BODY

Work work that body! There'll be a dance session tomorrow from 3pm onwards at the area outside audi, remember to pass the message around!

And here's a little in-between-mugging entertainment:

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

ARES Faculty Pullover!

Hey Ares!

Worried about not getting to see a sample size for the pullover? Worried about ordering a size too big or too small?

Fret not!

You can now order the pullover first without indicating what size you want. Just indicate that you are buying one on the CT order form with your CT rep tomorrow (friday) and pass him/her $19. We will then obtain a sample of the pullover and then get back to those who ordered to confirm the sizes asap! :)

(So juniors, feel free to drag your seniors down, should they be... uncooperative.)

Date: Tuesday, 22 January
Location: RUA (room under auditorium)
Time: do arrive around 1.30-2.00pm!

ALSO, there'll be another mass dance practice on Friday. We'll update the blog as soon as we finalize details! :D Meanwhile, have fun practicing with the dance tutorials. Next up will be a video of Carlos and Sharon performing the dance in slow-motion, their backs facing us, so you can follow them easier and pick up the dance!

So, see you tomorrow!!

P.S. Venue for tomorrow's dramafeste auditions are at A303!

Congratulations to A13 for bagging the BEST PERFORMANCE of the night, and thank you to A10 for designing what we felt was the TRUE best flag of the night! (Once we get pictures of the showcased items from Zhongwei, we'll make a post dedicated to them!)

You can find our previous years' fac dance songs and videos (2007's CNY dance is a MUST-WATCH) from the link above.

So come for dance practices and get ready to SHAKE the whole school on Post-Orientation Party!!
