“As you glance at the image, you notice you’re glancing at it once again, don’t you?
You look at it more closely and examine the details.
Every minute detail was not easy to make, it was not a simple task to do...
it seemed simple at one glance but the more you look at it, the more you appreciate…
That is how we are viewed... when you view us as a class, you can't help but glance again.
LOOK more closely, and you'll see… and You will be AMUSED,
why one class with such different characters were able to emit a strong aura
of knowledge and enthusiasm...”
