Hatters on Parade (Part 2)

The History gang came our decked in a wide array of headgear on Mad Hatters 2009. Here are the list of models who had been captured by our trigger happy photographers (thanks Joshua and Jing Wei!):

I'm wearing a supped up version of my NS hat




I am replicating the bushido spirit to survive the final stretch of my Hons year




Dr Kaneshiro in the presence of Tallness




Hey, who's stepping on my head?




Who says commies and court jesters can't get along?




Lets kill this clown!




All together now!



Cheese!



Our lovely emcee for the night - in her tweeny hat




Cheers, people!




Maryam and Yu: Oh come on, at least PRETEND that u're scared



And the winner of the Best Hat is....*drum rolls* Nicholas with a half eaten head!

Mad about Hatters (Part 1)


It was Friday the 13th. Eileen stared uneasily at the lift doors in front of her. One by one, emerged one bizarre character after another. A resurrected Hitler, a witch, a man partially eaten by a shark. Lingering around Eileen’s table, their ranks swelled as they were joined by more unconventional-looking people.








Sharks, I'm still shorter than Yokes







Since the History bunch are not ones to suffer from paraskavedekatriaphobia (which actually means fear of Friday the 13th!), they have turned up in full force for the inaugural Mad Hatters 2009! And Eileen was there, of course, to graciously help at the event.


I come as a Hammer


See, that's how you look with your invisible hat





The new NUS History Alumni Association (NHAA) committee kicked off its events calendar of 2009 with a revival of a dormant tradition. Whilst before, the entire graduating class would don their graduation garb to be photographed with their professors, this time the entire History community – professors, students and alumni – came together to celebrate the impending Commencement of the Honours class – albeit with a mad hat!


Garbed in graduation gown...but with a mad hat in hand


One for posterity


Heck the mortarboards...


Cause this is so much more colourful!
