Taurus House

IMU CUP 2010 CHAMPIONS!

2010-10-12T20:35:00.004+08:00

Dearest Taurusians!

It has been an immense honour and privilege for me to have served as your captain and it is with great pride and joy that I address you here now in the aftermath of an excellent Imu Cup campaign for Taurus, a 6 week adventure which saw us crowned as the IMU CUP 2010 Overall Champions as well as seeing us amass a record total of no less than 8 Golds, 8 Silvers and 3 Bronzes as we BULLdozed our way to the title in true bull TAURUS STYLE!

Monday, 11th of October 2010 marked the end of my last Imu Cup and concluded an amazing 6 weeks in which we, as a HOUSE, as a TEAM, as a UNIT got to play hard, cheer hard and yell our hearts out, supporting each other as we fought our way to victory after victory. Together with all of you I savoured the joy of winning, the harsh regret caused by rash decisions and mourned those near misses... but more so, I got to experience firsthand and be inspired by that burning passion and indomitable never-say-die fighting spirit that all of you Taurusians exhibited, and that have so very clearly been the driving force behind our inexorable march to the title this year!

It seems only just last week when i stood before some of you in our first house meeting this year, where i was in the running to be the House Captain. I remember declaring to those present then that our aim for this Imu Cup was to be crowned champions. But for those of you who were present last year and knew we only finished 4th in the last Imu Cup, it probably would have seemed like a tall order. And indeed it was. In all honesty I did not have much confidence in my claim and the only reason I mentioned it at all was because I wanted to persuade more people to participate (Remember mass participation?) and not repeat the mistake of last year where we ended up forfeiting and getting 0 points for 5 different sports. Yet you people rose to the challenge and proved me wrong as you played your hearts out for each other and for Taurus!

There are many different examples where you guys and girls were underdogs or were disadvantaged but still fought to the very end, full of self belief and fighting spirit. Volleyball girls was a very good example of that. I was so proud of you girls as you pushed your opponents to the very end and I felt that same heartbreak that you girls did when you lost so closely, not once but twice! There are still plenty of other examples, such as football and basketball, where you guys displayed sheer grit and determination and once again that never-say-die attitude that was just so awe-inspiring to see.

I am proud as well of the fact that in all the sports I attended and participated in and that I know of, all of you Taurusians played fairly, displayed sportsmanship and integrity and were gracious both in victory and defeat, even when sometimes defeat came rather unexpectedly and at the very last moment. Isn't that right Scrabble Team? ;) And of course, not to forget the most important thing of all.. which is to have fun! It was a joy to see each and everyone of you enjoying what you were doing, laughing and having fun because that is what Imu Cup is and should be about. To have fun! Right cheerleaders? :D

The glory of winning Imu Cup 2010 belongs not to me, but to each and everyone of you who have participated and supported the House in one way or another. This victory is yours, Enjoy it!

Taurusians! You have given me some of the greatest memories of my time here in IMU that I will never forget and for that I offer my humblest gratitude. I would also like to specially thank those of you who have helped me so much along the way.

Firstly, my house core committee consisting of my Vice Captains Tej and Hsu Huei, secretaries Erin and Arvinf, quartermasters Jiayun and Jittong, treasurer Lauren and my super design girl Grace!
Secondly, my sports captains, especially my cheerleading captain Jason! I salute you guys and girls for your passion, commitment and dedication! You have made all this possible. Thank you!
And of course, my super athletes! There are many of you and I apologise if I forget some names.. I'm growing old after all. But just to mention some names, Je Vin, Michelle Peris, Clement, Imran, Ting King, Elaine, Hsu Huei, Tay, Shiyi, Li Teng, Wei Rong and my beloved Cheerleaders! Thank you all for taking so much time off of your busy schedule and contributing so much to the house. You are appreciated. :)

My job is done. Till next Imu Cup Taurusians! Till then, be proud to wear your house shirt and be proud to be in Taurus!

GO TAURUS!!

Yours,

Tan Jia Wei
Taurus House Captain 2010

Scrabble we got SILVER! losing at the very last moment due to a tremendous piece of luck from the opponent team. It was a heartbreak for the poor scrabble players and to see them having tried so hard and leading all the way, only to lose at the last moment to what i can only describe as luck was really heartrending. Still, you guys played your hearts out and i am proud of each and every one of you! Sometimes luck plays a factor in competitions, but the way you guys played out there today, you will always be champions in my eyes :)
Huge praise for the scrabble team!

Football we bowed out of the group stages but at least we bowed out with a win and only got knocked out by goal difference! We needed a win of 2 goals over Phoenix to qualify for semi finals. Phoenix, who were one of the favourites and whom everyone expected to win us. Still, we went out there and outplayed them and won 2-1! but still it was not enough to qualify us. But in the end, the fighting spirit showed by this group of underdogs who fought against adversity and almost triumphed was truly inspiring! GO TAURUS!

Volleyball girls and guys we lost to Pegasus and unfortunately are unable to proceed to the semifinals.

That's what the Taurus spirit should be like! 3 cheers for the girls! :D

Coming Wednesday, 5th August, 2-4 pm at vista C

The first badminton practices, would be on Monday (15th of June 2009), Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon, 2 pm to 4 pm at the Vista C badminton court.

It'll consist of basics training, like grip and a bit of footwork.

This is to give you guys something to think about and improve on whenever you guys play on your own.

It's important for you guys to come and train in one of the mentioned days so that we can select an official team captain and recruit members for the badminton team to compete in IMU cup.

Of course, the purpose of these training (and also the upcoming ones) is so that everyone can improve in badminton, regardless if you're on the team or not.

See you guys at those time. I'll be there for all three.

Meeting Minutes for 24/5/09

2009-06-01T21:21:00.001+08:00

1. Money - for trainings, equipment, costumes etc.
The deadline for Sports Reps to submit the budget proposal is 3 weeks from now on 22nd June 09. In your proposal, please include detailed costs. We are also planning to collect a small fee (maybe RM5) from each house member to support our vast expenditures; Persons In Charge are the Treasurer and Faculty Reps. Will update you further later.

2. The deadline to submit the player roster (finalised list of players) is 13th July 09. The house committee will be contacting everyone to try to get them to participate in IMU Cup games. In the mean time, start recruiting your players and start training asap!! Preferably by this week, ya? Let's try to kick start things a bit. :)

3. Please update the house committee by email on everything that you do including all training and practice sessions. These updates will be posted on the blog, imutaurus.blogspot.com.

4. The format for the IMU Cup events are not out yet as the IMU Cup Committee hasn't been formed. Refer to the previous years' format as a rough guideline.

That's all for now. Thanks for your cooperation and enthusiasm in making our house the best house in IMU Cup 09! By the way, any suggestions to improve are always welcome. =)
