in RHM: Why?

Hi Daniel (Daniel Kwok)! Before going on to the more important issues, can you tell us why you wanted to put a fish tank in the Comm Hall? You have several tanks in your room filled with shrimps and fish already, so why another one in Comm Hall?

There were two reasons I set up the RH Fish Tank: (1) bring some color and life to the otherwise gloomy Hall, and (2) to give RH residents something to be proud of and have a sense of ownership over.
(1) Raffles Hall was quite “dead”: there was no life, there was nothing truly beautiful about the hall besides its central location and inherent greenery (we’re surrounded by grass/trees, even our hall t-shirts are green!), however there was nothing “alive” in Raffles Hall though.
(2) Face it RH residents: do you have anything in Raffles Hall you’re truly proud of? Besides the friends around you with whom you treasure your time with (playing bridge with, rehearsing for concert and events with, etc), there’s nothing you’re really proud of, are you? Do you go out there and say “I’m staying in Raffles Hall and I LOVE IT because of __________!”?I was hoping to give something to Raffles Hall that would bring the residents closer together, something they could relate to, something they would be proud to be a part of.
