1 DAY TO SPACE BAR!

11:20 AM » 0 Comments
HEY ARES!
it's just ONE DAY (!!!) before our much anticipated faculty event!
Just to recap, here are the details:

Event: Space Bar 2009
Venue: O'Leary's Bar and Grill 30 Raffles Avenue #01-04 Singapore Flyer
Time: 7pm-10pm++
Ticket Price: $10 (If you haven't bought one, fret not! Some tickets will be sold at the door)

Due to road diversions and road closures, some bus services and roads near our venue might be affected. These bus services are: 75, 77, 106, 171, 700, 700A, 857, 960 (SMRT) and 10, 36,57, 70, 70M, 97, 111, 133, 162M, 196, 502, 518 (SBS)

Do refer to SMRT and SBS websites for more information.

However, there is still access to the Singapore Flyer through certain roads. If you are coming by car/taxi, please take note of road closures. If you are coming by bus/mrt, you might want to consider taking this convenient shuttle bus service:

There is a shuttle bus service to the Singapore Flyer that comes every half an hour, from 10am-11pm. The pick-up point is at City Hall MRT (Bus stop between St. Andrew's Cathedral and The Adelphi, along Coleman Street). It will drop you off at the Singapore Flyer Coach Bay. However, it is $2 per head.

For more details, please refer to:
www.singaporeflyer.com/en/essential-info-for-visitors/getting-to-the-flyer.html

To make things easier, the Singapore Flyer is accessible by foot. From City Hall MRT station, walk through City Link. Look out for signages that will lead you to the Esplanade. From there, come out to the street level. Then, walk in the general direction of the Singapore Flyer. Some Fac Comm members will be stationed there to guide you.

Also, you should have heard about the food eating competition we are having! Each class is encouraged to send a pair to represent them in this food eating competition with a twist! Do come down to cheer your classmates on as well! So far, these are the participants:

A10: Loh Yi Cheng, Lee Kwang Chian
A13: Bertrand Tan, Clement Lin
A16: Cai Jia Sheng, (needs a partner)
s70: Samuel Tan, Daniel Yip
S72: Theodore Pung, Ang Zi Keng
S74: Ong Cheng Siang, Chin Kiat
S76: Larry Lau, Nicole Lim
S7A: Jerrold Au, Dillon Yap

If your class is not represented but you would like to participate, please inform your CT Rep by today! You stand to win prizes so do participate actively! It's all in the name of fun (:

We hope to see you there tomorrow. Space Bar 2009. Cos it's Out of this World!

For the Glory of Ares

11:23 PM » 0 Comments
Clad in red and armed with truckloads of determination and fighting spirit, Aresians made their presence known and felt at the Festival of Sports 2009, held on the 27th of October. Although the purpose of FOS was to let our hair down and have fun after promos, emerging 1st in 4 out of 6 categories and bringing home the overall title definitely brought glory to Ares (:


Here's a quick recap of our road to victory:


Basketball Boys


Our boys displayed tremendous grit and determination as they executed aggressive and stunning play on court, and did not back down even when the going got tough. Eventually, they emerged as champions! Good job guys (:










































































Basketball Girls

Our basketball girls team showed that girls were capable of swift play on court too. They managed to edge out their opponents with sheer determination and skill, and emerged champions too! girl power (:




















































Netball

Our netballers executed consistently strong play, and were seen constantly cheering each other on as well. Exhibiting great team spirit and resolve on court, we saw some brilliant attacking and tight defense from them.They managed to secure straight wins. Great job girls!
































































Soccer


Despite finishing 4th, the Ares soccer team put up a better fight than their position gave them credit for; with their sparkling displays of attack only coming apart as a result of a combination of ill luck and a few loopholes in their defense. Still we are really proud of them for their effort (:







































Volleyball (Boys)

The team was a little apprehensive about their chances at first, but boy did they rock the court! With killer spikes and players going all out for every ball, our boys fought extremely hard. Their last match was particularly intense, and they had many Aresians at the side-lines cheering their lungs out for them. Eventually, they emerged victorious (:
























































Volleyball (Girls)


The volleyball girls began with a tough match against Athena, and were unable to counter their fierce serves. However, they soon regained their confidence, exhibiting immense fighting spirit and won their other games with steady serves and some fierce spikes. They emerged 2nd. Way to go, girls! (Sorry for the lack of photos)


























OVERALL CHAMPS WHOOOHOOOO.

to all the Aresians who gave their all on the court/pitch.
to all those who came down to support the players.
to Athena, Artemis and Apollo for a wonderful day of sports and games.
to the PE department for helping to organise this.
to our supportive teachers.

and lastly to our sports i/cs You Jie and Noah for their effort in forming teams and making sure everything went as planned.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING FOS'09 A DAY TO REMEMBER FOR THE ENTIRE FACULTY.

see you at fos 2010!

Look out for updates on Space Bar 2009 on this blog in the coming week!

MAKAN, FOS!

2:45 PM » 0 Comments
MAKAN; 22/10/09

The 22nd of October was a special morning where there was no rushing to LTs for lectures, or dragging of feet to classrooms for tutorials.

Instead Ares gathered at the right wing to have a laid-back breakfast as a faculty (Makan), with good food (nasi lemak, kuehs, drinks, and the variety of 'pot luck' food), music for entertainment (friendly DJs You Jie and Yap Chien), and great company (Aresians ftw!)

We hope you had a relaxing and fun 1 hour with your fellow aresians (: Here are some photos! Credits to Miao Hanqing.
































































































































Now, coming up next is the FESTIVAL OF SPORTS (!!!)

On the 27th of October (2 days from now!), 6 teams of Aresians will be courageously taking the field in 4 sports: netball, volleyball, soccer and basketball. They will be pitting their skills against the other 3 faculties, for the glory of Ares! (Although the more important thing is to have fun (: )

We hope that everyone can come down to cheer your hearts out for them. Seeing that Ares is the God of War, we thought a war speech would be apt:
























"My brothers of the sword, I would rather fight beside you then any army of thousands...Immortality. Take it! It's Yours!"
-Archilles, Troy

27th October, 3pm. See you there!
ARESSSSSSSSSSS.

ARESSS! Awesome job for surviving promos J1s!
Now that most if not all mugging has ceased (there's still PW we know, all the way!),
IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE AND LET THE ARES FACULTY SPIRIT SOAR!


In the months ahead, there will be numerous exciting faculty activities planned, so that's something to look forward to! (: When school reopens on Tuesday, we'll kick the Ares spirit into high gear with the first of the string of events, FACULTY BREAKFAST!


















It's gonna be a morning of food and fun with your fellow Aresians!
Our breakfast will be held in the right wing, and we will be providing some food and drinks! However, we would still like to encourage classes to 'pot luck', and bring along your own food as well! the more the merrier (:



So see your on Tuesday at the right wing, 7.45am! Also, do look out for more updates on FOS and faculty outing coming soon!
