Whoever that has any problem especially critical health problem...

Please inform to our Welcoming and Welfare Bureau... We do hope that all of you will to do so..

so that, we as committees do not get any unexpected problem...

We do beg all of you... Please....

In this second day... The biggest thing that we'd done was we did the KYKM shooting... which is 'Know You, Know Me' session....

In short, KYKM is a presentation that introduce the committees members to the new student as said by God :

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَى وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ

Al-Hujurat : 13....

O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)...

So, we do hope that all of you especially the committee members....

And we do apologise if there anything that we showed to you doesn't spare your feeling...

We just want to entertain all of you guys....

Tazkirah of the day....

2011-09-07T15:43:00.002+08:00

On the authority of Omar bin Al-Khattab, who said : I heared the messenger of Allah

salla Allah u alihi wa sallam

say :

"Actions are but by intention and every man shall have but that which he intended. Thus he whose migration was for Allah and His messenger, his migration was for Allah and His messenger, and he whose migration was to achieve some worldly benefit or to take some woman in marriage, his migration was for that for which he migrated."

related by Bukhari and Muslim..

In our daily life, everything we want to do is started by our intention.

From the hadith above, it is clearly mention that every action that we intent to do starts from our intention firstly.

Lookin at the hand of the time weve been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
Every second counts on a clock thats tickin
Gotta live like were dying
We only got, 86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell em that we love em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like were dying

Our prophet said, do Ibadah as we'll die tomorrow and work hardly as we'll life forever....

So, don't waste our time...

Go.. go.. look for any chance that we can grab....

Goooooooooo....

Wrap Up Day 1...

Here, we have an important announcement.

To all committees, you have to always put yourself in 'wake up' mode during working hour.

If you're not able to do so, then we'll take your picture and post it in this blog, hahahaha.

So, please enjoy your work.

Byeee....

1st day of induction...

2011-09-06T12:38:00.008+08:00

Assalamu'alaikum. Good morning we greet to all of you.

First of all we would like to wish all of you best of luck today.

Because today is our first day of Taaruf Week.

we also hope that all of you are in nice and great condition.

Although today is the first day of program, but in this post we prefer to story and show our situation on the first day of induction.

Basically on the first day, bro Rizaili began the session by introducing himself and separated us into 4 teams. Then, we had to know one another although we are not in the same bureau.

Then, we were asked to sit in bureau accordingly.

At first, our bureau which is Multimedia was attended by three people.

But, Alhamdulillah after a few moment, our member of group came one by one.

In brief, we took a few pictures using our members' camera's phone.

So, we would like to say sorry if the pictures are not as good as usual.

This is due to the limited number of camera that we have.

Here are a few of pictures for the first induction day.

Registration Bureau prepare the Taaruf Kit

Welcoming and Welfare Bureau helps Registration Bureau

Catering Bureau

Our designers

Discipline and Ibadah

Program Coordinator

Secretaries

Our first draft of name tag

Special Task

That's all from us. We're sorry to the other bureau which their photos are not shown.

This is because we do not have enough camera. We're very sorry.

See u again...

Dear committees...

2011-09-06T04:22:00.003+08:00

Assalamualaikum. First of all, we would like to apologize for delaying to update this blog.

Due to the Ta'aruf Week for September 2011/2012 intake that will be on just a couple hour to go.

We, Multimedia Bureau would like to wish all the best to all committees.

We also want to wish 'Eid Mubarak to all of you as well and maaf zahir batin if there is any shortcoming from our bureau in treating you guys.

In order to cultivate the spirit of 'sincerity' among all committees.

Here, we have a few words to support you guys.

The Prophet said :

If anyone of you improves (follows strictly) his Islamic religion, then his good deeds will be rewarded ten times to seven hundred times for each good deed and a bad deed will be recorded as it is.

Muslim, Book of Belief 205

Allah said in the Quran:

The noblest among you in Allah's sight is the one who best performs his duty. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. (Surat al-Hujurat: 13)

So, it is clearly stated by our God that the sincerity is very important in doing something. Allah does not look what we have done, but He looks at our heart. So, let we open our heart and mind and put the positive thinking in our mind. InsyaAllah, He always be behind us.

If we face any problem tomorrow, please remember God a lot.

Lastly, Good Luck guys.

seconds, hours, so many days
you know what you want
but how long can you wait
every moment lasts forever
seems as if you lost your way

what if your chances are already gone
you started believing that you could be wrong
cause you give me one good reason to fight and never walk away
so here i am still holding on

with every step you climb another mountain
with every breath is harder to believe
you make it through the pain without a hurricane
to get to that one thing
when you think the road is going no where
when you gotta escape upon your dreams
they take you by the hand and show you that you can
cause there are no boundaries
no boundaries

you fought to your limit to stand on the edge
what if today is as good as it gets
do not know where the future is heading
nothing gonna bring you down
you have jumped every bridge
and run every lie
you rick being safe but you always know why

you can go higher
you can go deeper
there are no boundaries above or beneath you
break every rule cause
there is nothing between you and your dreams

Taaruf Week in Facebook

2009-05-01T02:21:00.000+08:00

Social networking has become part of our life. Few years ago, Friendster is the fastest growing social networking website. Slowly, the trend changed to the Facebook website. It uses more interactive and interesting feature for all user. The most powerful function in Facebook is the ability to view status updates and comment on it, with automatically reply subscription.

So, I've decided to create a brand new page for Taaruf Week. People can become a fan and subscribe to the wall post. Just after 24 hours after I've designed it, we already have more than 22 fans. Most of them are the ex-committee of Taaruf Week.

I hope that this page can create awareness and hype among the old and new committees. Click here to go to Taaruf Week IIUM Page in Facebook.

Eco-Pack and Menu Selection for New Students

2009-04-26T01:41:00.000+08:00

Salam. I've been appointed as the assistant head comm. for catering bureau. Just want to share few things about what happen today.

Eco-Pack for Students Meal
This Taaruf Week is going to be the first in using eco-pack for the meals rather than using polystyrene food packaging. It will cost S-DEV additional 20 cents for each meals.

Menu Selection for Students
Its not that easy in deciding the right menu for students. Basically, there are 3x breakfast, 3x lunch and 3x dinner for students. Few things should be considered such as the 'hot and spicy' level of each food because some students don't eat 'hot' meals. Besides that, some students are having allergies on some food such as chicken, beef and fish.

I hope that new students will enjoy the meals provided to them.

New Students performing Chicken Dance for Cultural Night

2008-12-19T21:59:00.004+08:00

Its one of the exhilarating performance by the brothers. They have performed the chicken dance on the stage and they also had invited some committee to dance with them. I found it very funny. Well done guys!

Course Registration

2008-12-19T15:00:00.000+08:00

At the end of the day, all the new students went for a course registration. First semester is very important when registering for subjects. It is so important because it will affect your first semester study life in the campus, whether you can adapt to it or not. Besides that, the first semester CGPA also will be determine by the first course registration during Taaruf. Don't worry. You still can change your subjects during the adjustment period. (Dec 16 - Dec 26) For more information, you can check A&R website and also the important dates for Sem 2, 08/09.

New Students taking oath during Bai'ah Ceremony

2008-12-19T10:00:00.002+08:00

Bai'ah Ceremony is the most highlighted event during Ta'aruf Week because students will be taking oath in front of the Senate Members of the IIUM.

Bai'ah Rehearsal is shorter than before

2008-12-18T23:30:00.002+08:00

Bai'ah is an oath or pledge that students will have to declare during the orientation. In other university, its like Akujanji. Its the tradition of Taaruf Week in IIUM, both in branch and main campus. This time, students don't have to do rehearsal many times. Its enough just to make it on the day before. Besides that, the Bai'ah script also was shortened. I knew it because I'm the one who doing the multimedia backdrop for the Bai'ah too!

IIUM Campus Tour

2008-12-18T14:20:00.000+08:00

Most of the multimedia committee were quite busy in preparing the KYKM videos. Since they have the campus tour slots, I've suggested to screen my old IIUM Virtual Tour video. It was created two years ago for Taaruf July 2006/2007 Intake but it still reliable isn't it? If I have the time, I want to make a better video that shows the Mahallah and other facilities such as stadium etc.

Rules are meant to be broken?

2008-12-18T12:15:00.000+08:00

I was the emcee for the Legal SDEC and Security Session. For me, this is the best session because students can know and understand what misbehave that they should have known when studying in IIUM. I also enjoy the pictures in the slides. But I think its better if Legal Unit can include about disciplinary actions that was taken for cases like clubbing.

IIUM Campus Wireless System

2008-12-18T11:13:00.000+08:00

During ITD Briefing, the officer main talk about the function of ITD in IIUM and also the implementation of wireless network in the campus. I'm quite agree with one of the sister who asked them about those who don't use laptops. However, I think in the near future, students will be carrying laptop or nettop just like we carry our handphones. Who needs PC anyway.

Sleeping Beauties during Taaruf

2008-12-18T09:10:00.001+08:00

After doing Qiyamullail, most of the students are quite sleepy on the morning session. Here are some of the shots that was taken both in Main Auditorium and Experimental Hall.

Qiyamullail at SHAS Mosque IIUM

2008-12-18T05:00:00.000+08:00

Qiyamullail activity was conducted at SHAS Mosque. After the last night session, all students sleep at the mosque. About 4am, DnI and other committees wake up the students.

Students learning to sing IIUM Students song

2008-12-17T23:58:00.000+08:00

Students were learning to sing IIUM Students Song because they will have to sing the song during the Bai'ah Ceremony on Friday. I hope that they can sing it passionately with high spirit. I pretty like the up-beat version of this song which was re-composed back in 2007.

Taaruf Gimmick was a blast!

2008-12-17T22:36:00.000+08:00

If you've missed the gimmick video, now you can watch it online at Youtube. The video took about 10 minutes. The opening ceremony was launched by Dato' Hamidon Abdul Hamid during the Session with Deputy Rector and Opening Ceremony.

Know Your Kulliyah briefing about academic matters

2008-12-17T17:22:00.000+08:00

In the afternoon session, students went to their own respective kulliyahs for a briefing about academic matters such as study duration, type of majors and courses as well as what they will have to know about subjects they should register for their new semester. After the briefing, students were required to answer Fundamental Knowledge Test (FKT) about Fardhu Ain as a placement test.

Having lunch at SHAS Mosque courtyard

2008-12-17T14:15:00.000+08:00

Students have to eat their lunch at the courtyard but some of them even take the meal to HS cafe. So far, the food is delicious, both for students and committee. Thanks for keeping the cleanliness at the courtyard too. Good job to all Catering committees!

962 students: More students more troubles

2008-12-17T12:30:00.000+08:00

According to Sis. Hayatun, there are more direct intake especially oversea students that are coming for registration on the second day. Initially, it was supposed to be only 862 students.That's why some of the students have to sit at the Experimental Hall because is already full at Main Auditorium. Its been quite a tough day for all the committees too as we need to take care of the welfare of some sick students.

Unfortunately, there are also some theft that happen. Not to mention some of them who ditched the briefing session. Whatever it is, we will entertain the students no matter how fussy they are.

Live from Experimental Hall

2008-12-17T10:30:00.001+08:00

On the second day, there are more briefings from various divisions such as A&R, Finance, S-DEV, CCAC and also from the respective kulliyah. Experimental Hall was used to support additional students. Live telecast was setup so that the LCD screen will show the same thing as in Main Auditorium. Well this Taaruf also has set a new record where its 'The First Taaruf Week that was held on Two Venues' with the support of CPD Technician. Thank you and congratulation guys.

First day of Taaruf Week on Youtube

2008-12-16T23:59:00.001+08:00

Credit to Multimedia committee for the picture and slideshow. During the screening of the video, there was a technical problem with the audio system. We are really sorry for that. Check out the video.

Taaruf Kit distribution at Main Auditorium

2008-12-16T18:00:00.001+08:00

Taaruf kit is a backpack for the new students. Inside the kit, there is a batik shirt, a sport shirt and some informative documents, pamhplet and reminders for the new students regarding the flow of the program. The distribution activity was conducted by Registration commitee assisted by Special Task and Catering committees. Click picture for larger size.

I found its quite useful because most sisters don't have backpack unlike brothers. It is also very useful to stuff many items especially for the Qiyamullail session on Thursday.

New home for the new IIUM students

2008-12-16T13:43:00.000+08:00

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome my new brothers and sisters to the garden of Knowledge and Virtue. Mahallah registration is the first session where parents will send their son/daughter to their new home, IIUM.

All students from CFS went to Mahallah for the registration while direct intake students had to register at the Main Auditorium lobby.

Final touch at Main Auditorium

2008-12-16T02:28:00.000+08:00

Final touch was held at Main Auditorium on 9pm on Monday. All head comm is giving their report and reminders to all committee for the first day of Taaruf on Tuesday. All of them looks totally anticipated for this day to come.

Committee name tag with tentative and prayer times

2008-12-16T02:08:00.001+08:00

After 3 days of shooting, cropping and designing, finally the tag is ready to be distributed to all committees. Let's see what's cool about this design. First of all, its not laminated. It has two pictures of the committee, close up view and freestyle look. (No wonder they spent more time to crop all of them).

Second, I think that the other side of the tag should have some more information that can benefit the committee. So I put 4 days tentative and also prayer times. This feature is quite useful because committee can easily check about the event and also reminds them to perform prayers on time.

Main board horse ride at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa

2008-12-16T02:00:00.000+08:00

Main board went to Taman Tasik Titiwangsa for their KYKM video shoot on Monday. This time they even tried the horse riding activity. Pretty cool eh?

862 students will be joining Taaruf today

2008-12-16T01:55:00.000+08:00

According to Hayatun, Head comm of registration committee, 862 students will be joining Taaruf Week for December intake 2008/2009. 588 students will be coming from Centre for Foundation Studies and 259 direct intake students, both Malaysian and oversea students. Another 15 students had confirmed their attendance for re-taaruf session. According to gender, there wil be 396 brothers and 451 sisters.

Catering committees go for picnic at IIUM river

2008-12-15T15:00:00.001+08:00

For the KYKM, Catering committees go to IIUM river in front of Cultural Activity Centre. They had planned to shoot at 12pm but since it was raining, they have postponed it to do it at 5pm. Unfortunately Bro. Salleh, assistant head comm is having chicken pox. His position was replaced with Bro. Azizuddin.

Xpax sponsor committee shirt?

2008-12-15T14:00:00.000+08:00

Committee t-shirt has a combination of purple and orange color. This really looks like a Xpax official shirt. Actually, this program don't have any relationship with Xpax. Just coincidence perhaps. But students t-shirt remain with the yellow colored shirt.

Mass gathering at Main Auditorium

2008-12-15T04:48:00.000+08:00

Mass gathering for all committees was held at Main Auditorium on 8pm. On the first session, all head comm had reported and deliver some announcement for all committees. Registration bureau also had distribute all t-shirt and batik for committees too. For the second session, Welfare & Welcoming bureau held a First Aid kit training for their committees. This is important as they should know how to take a good care of the welfare of the students.

Special Task shoots extended ending from Gimmick

2008-12-14T23:41:00.000+08:00

Special Task KYKM video shoot was inspired from the Gimmick video. ST was the first bureau to have their photoshoot. They begin from 10am until 1120am. The shooting session was done around mosque courtyard and also main staircase.

Looking for best talent at Emcee Audition

2008-12-13T21:24:00.000+08:00

On 9.00 a.m today, emcee audition was being held at Main Auditorium and half of our committee member turn up for the audition. The candidates received the scripts ten minutes before the judges called them. Some of them were very talented and the rest need to be trained so that they will be selected for being an emcee. Preparation and Technical bureau were very supportive and sent 80% of their man power for the audition.

The judges were the program manager and assistant program manager themselves and they gave good comments for all the candidates. Congratulation to all the selected candidates and for the rest who were not selected, there is always next Taaruf for a second try. Practice makes perfect!
