Hari Raya Haji Celebration & Freshers' Welcoming Event

Assalaamu'alaikum everyone!

First of all, so sorry that I haven't published the Hari Raya Haji Celebration and Freshers' Welcoming Event in this blog. Totally forgot that the other day, when I was working on this post, I didn't post it and it was only a draft. LOL apologies. Really am rushing to post the news about this event before the upcoming SouthEast Asian (SEA) Event happening this Thursday, 16th October 2014. Woot woot! And hopefully as I work on the post for that event, I will remember to finish the draft version and have it published XD HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

So a lot of people came to this event. The first event of the academic year! woot woot! Thanks everyone for the support! Really appreciate your presence. Thankfully almost everyone brought home the leftover food so no food was wasted during this event. Next time, we'll know that 4 boxes  of pizza is probably enough when other people brought food with them (since it was a potluck event). We do apologise that the game was not well prepared and organised, but next time, we assure you that we'll have it well planned. :) Insya Allah we will learn from our mistake.

The event started off with Maghrib prayer led by our vice president Matin! and then takbir by all of us with the 'solo' bits done by the three boys as seen in the picture. In the picture, it's Matin turn to read the 'solo' bits.



And these are pictures of some of the lovely ladies who participated in the takbir :)




After takbir, we had dinner. It was sort of a collection + potluck event so we had people making dishes while the rest pooled money for pizza :)  Here is a picture of the queue just outside the kitchen door.



We also played a game of charades, which has sort of become a tradition on freshers' welcoming event. Because of this, freshers' welcoming event is also known as 'Game Night'. We do apologise that the game was not very organised but Insya Allah, the committee members are learning from our mistakes and will plan better so everyone will enjoy future events :) Sadly no photos of us playing charades (more like the secretary acting out all the actions. HAHAHAHAHAHA!) But here's a picture of everyone who came to the event :)




Please look forward to our upcoming joint event with the rest of the SEA societies this Thursday. And Insya Allah, this blog will be updated with the summary, if not most of what happened during the event, on this blog as soon as possible. :)

XOXO
