KAPPA BACK2BACK CHAMPS

Do I have anything stuck between my teeth?
Ada bende terselit kat celah gigi ke?

OI KAPPA MAU?

Can you feel it? There right there. The unmistakable feeling of total superiority that comes from being CHAMPS. Again! BACK TO BACK!

If you participated, you know what I’m talking about. That special KAPPA magic is still there; still going strong. Still driving the other houses crazy, ‘cause they know they are faced with an unstoppable force that is KAPPA. And their total dejection for having to suffer the KAPPA Kockiness for another year (or a couple, depending on when the MSRC rolls out another competition :)).

Even if you weren’t there last Thursday, just by association, you will now be held in a different regard by your non-Kappa brethren. Not necessarily in higher regard, but definitely different. But, hey, we R the CHAMPS so let’s agree that they’re just sore losers :P.

Seriously, I would like to say to each and every one of you who could make it last Thursday…... YOU DA BOMB! The sheer power of the KAPPA spirit hit the other teams like a tsunami, and the end result was never in doubt. Even though the Grand Chief CEO tried to rally the other teams by saying “It’s Mu, Epsilon and Delta against KAPPA” in his opening speech, it was all for nought.

I hope you had as much fun as I did. For sure, this shared experience will never be forgotten, and it can only make us stronger as a team, both for work and outside it. I am proud and humbled to have fought alongside each and every one of you, from the first march-in to the last moment where we stood side by side waiting for Grand Chief to officially announce us as the WINNERS. I saw in you the kind of fighting spirit that can only bring MDeC and MSC Malaysia to greater heights!

KAPPA went to WAR, and KAPPA brought back BOOTY! [Booty, Booty, Booty, Booty, Booty everywhere!!!] Actually Elderman Niran’s room is chock full of hampers that the various KAPPA teams won, and we’ll have to figure out a way to share the spoils somehow. So this is my suggestion:

KAPPA WINNERS CELEBRATION

Friday 8 May 2008

Rebung

5:00 – 6:00pm

We will acknowledge each of the winning teams and players, and the team members will have first choice of whatever is in their hamper. If they are kind enough to share any of what’s left, we can all share2 in the makan2.

We will also present the award for the KAPPA Most Valuable Player (MVP) – the one person, without whom we could not have pulled this massive victory off. The guy or gal whom you saw on the battlefield, either getting things organized, cheering, or putting their bodies on the line to ensure KAPPA victory. To quote Elderman Niran: the one who best embodies the KAPPA spirit. This person will go home with some cold hard cash (thanks Eldermen J) and a totally awesome Shark “Animal House” Bottle Opener by Boston Warehouse. I will send you a link with the poll, and let’s give a deserving someone a great Award.

Speaking of Awards, here’s my personal KAPPA Honour Roll. This is of course non-exhaustive; there are countless other KAPPA heroes whom I have not mentioned. Please send me your own ideas and nominations, and we will acknowledge them during our ceremony on Friday.

Kappa Kadence

OI KAPPA MAU,

These are sung while marching together, in a call and answer manner. You don’t have to remember anything, just repeat whatever the leader is singing.

================================

Everywhere we go - oh
People wanna know - oh
Who we are
Where we come from
So we tell them
We are Kappa
Mighty Mighty Kappa
Rough - n - tough Kappa
Straight shooting Kappa

================================

Everywhere that we all go
Everybody wants to know
Who them guys and gals so fine
Kickin our ass all the time

Kappa
Kappa Sharks
Oi Kappa Mau
KAPPA!

================================

Ada haiwan dalam bahaya
Cuba lihat disana

Lembu
Musang
Burung
Kesian

Jangan Takut Jangan Bimbang
KAPPA Yang Kuat dah Datang
Membantu anak haiwan lemah
Yang menangis bila kalah

Kappa
Kappa Sharks
Oi Kappa Mau
KAPPA!

Apa yang penting? – KERJASAMA!

================================

Me and Superman got in a fight
I hit him in the head with some Kryptonite
I hit him so hard I busted his brain
And now I'm dating Lois Lane

Well, me and Batman, we had one too
I hit him in the head with my left shoe
Right in the temple with my left heel
And now I'm driving the Batmobile

Kappa
Kappa Sharks
Oi Kappa Mau
KAPPA!
