IIUM Campus Wireless System

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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.
