PERFORMING FOR ANOTHER UTM SPACE AWARD CEREMONY FOR FRANCHISE PROGRAMME

25TH OCTOBER 2015 ~ Right after the UTM SPACE award ceremony at "Rumah Alumni" that ended at about 5:00 p.m., we had to quickly make our way to another venue, the Banquet Hall at Chancellor Building, for another award ceremony. This time it was for UTM SPACE franchise programme.

We just had a short practice, changed into our "Baju Melayu" after the Maghrib prayer at the mosque and were ready for the next show by 8:00 p.m.

We were lucky indeed to be able to perform at three different events organized by UTM SPACE in conjunctions with the university's convocation ceremony. We would like again to thank Prof. Dr. Mohd. Fua'ad Rahmat for giving us the opportunity to be there and may the audience had been entertained by our presence.

PERFORMING AT "DEAN'S LIST AND MEDAL AWARD CEREMONY OF UTM SPACE DIPLOMA PROGRAMME"

25th October 2015 ~ This was the second performance of the three similar events that were organized by UTM SPACE in three different venues and times in conjunctions with the university's convocation. On Friday, SMKTUN's Angklung Group performed at UTM SPACE part-time for bachelor degree programme. This afternoon, it was the diploma full-time students and the ceremony was held at Rumah Alumni UTM.

one of the award recipients.

The crowd had obviously enjoyed our performance based on the thunderous applause received at the end of each song. And we had to be ready for the next event which would start right after this at 8:00 p.m. The first ever we had to do a back-to back performance, with a very short break in between.

ANGKLUNG PERFORMANCE DURING THE 'DEAN'S LIST AND AWARD CEREMONY' OF UTM SPACE

23RD OCTOBER 2015 ~ The SMKTUN Angklung Group was invited to perform during the "Dean's List and Award Ceremony" of SPACE UTM, in conjunctions with the convocation event. This was our second time being involved in an event like this. We were also invited by the same organizer last year.

This time, the ceremony was held at the hall in Kolej Tun Fatimah, UTM.

All the photos were taken by the audience and whatsapp-ed to me. We did not have our own photographer on that day so the photos are quite limited. Thanks to all the (unexpected) contributions.

Mr. Amirul Husni, an ex-Angklung Group member

I would like to personally thank Dr. Mohd. Fua'ad Rahmat, the Dean of UTM SPACE, for giving us the chance to perform, not only in one, but three award events organized. There will be two more for us to shake our angklungs tomorrow and we are all very excited for the moment to arrive.

MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT ARRIVED, AFTER ALMOST TWO WEEKS

Once in a while, unexpected thing could happen to you. I received my birthday present via Poslaju (express courier), two weeks after the actual date. I am not complaining though and I am considering myself lucky, not just to receive a surprising present via mail, but the most important thing, to have a kind and thoughtful friend.

I would personally thank my old friend, Puan Janariah Othman, for sending me the parcel all the way from Kuala Lumpur. Only Allah may repay your kindness.

SEONGEUP FOLKS VILLAGE IN JEJU ISLAND - PART 1

9th JUNE 2015 ~ The last tourist spot visited on the third day on Jeju Island was Seongeup Folks Village. This is a traditional village that has been passed from generation to generation hundreds of years ago and there are real people living in the houses. Although the village looked ancient, but the place was well-kept and very clean indeed.

We were there when it was almost dusk so we could not meet any villagers around. I guess there were all busy eating dinner at that time. So we just wandered around the place, admiring the houses. Everything was old but looking at the buildings and roads, the place was well-planned and developed.
