ANNUAL GATHERING OF PHARMACY DEPARTMENT 2008/2009
BY FIRST YEAR STUDENTS
Together Forever. Without unity, there is no strength in a community. With one determination and one voice, we stand strong above others. With an all-round approval from all the first year students, this is the theme for our annual gathering 08/09 : “Together Forever”. This event is held successfully every year and the most important thing is, it is organized by the first year pharmacy students, who then were still being acknowledged as freshies, for the lecturers and seniors. The objective of this event is to build strong team spirit among the juniors and also with others. It was indeed our big day throughout our 3 weeks of the department orientation. The hard work we put in, the frustration we felt, the tiredness we endured, the sleepless nights we had, were all for this gathering. Success is definitely what we had hoped for in this event.
The annual gathering was held at 25th July 2008 in Dewan Jemerlang. There were 5 bureaus; performance, technical, decorations, publicity & protocol and refreshments. With good teamwork, we managed to come out with a few good ideas for the performances. We had choir, combination of dances (comprising malay, indian, modern and boys dance), dikir barat, and drama. At the end of the performances, we would dance accompanied by our theme song, High School's Musical “We're All In This Together”.
The event kicked off with the superbly interesting candle performance. Next, it was the multimedia presentation, then followed up by choir, which comprised 16 girls. We sang along to the song “Voice of Tomorrow”. It was definitely a good start for this gathering as we not only managed to entertain the crowd, the ever enthusiastic Dr. Zoriah also joined us onstage. Dikir barat was next and they performed to the song 'Dikir Puteri'.
Then, it was time for the much awaited combination of dances. Students clad in beautiful outfits that matched with the type of dances they were involved in displayed their skills and brought up the high spirits among the crowd. The boys dance got the most cheers from everybody. Staff and seniors couldn't hold back to their seats due to belly-tickling laughs. After the marvellous performance from the dancers, it was the drama’s turn. The story was about a poor boy with big ambition who, despite facing many complications like having not enough money to fund his education, strived hard for success. He then graduated as a pharmacist. It was definitely a very entertaining and inspiring story, with great actors and props.
The finale was the best, where all the first year students rushed in from both entrances, with the theme song blasted merrily in the hall. We took turns to go upstage and danced energetically. Some seniors were even spotted joining us in the dance. It was undoubtedly a good way to end the annual gathering. After that, refreshments were served to the guests. Everyone was satisfied and contented during the whole duration. But, the happiest were still the 1st years, because we were finally approved as juniors!
In short, annual gathering 08/09 was a great success, and it was a good experience for all of us. It proves to us that unity is very essential in determining one's future, and that includes academic as well as developing our soft-skills in this pharmacy department. Let’s hope for the best together, forever.
