Sunway University: The Leadership Development Program organized Sunway University’s annual Freshie’s Night on Wednesday, the 23rd of February 2011. The event was held at the MPH, kicked off at 7.30pm and ended at 11pm in the evening. Approximately 700 students were present at the groundbreaking event.
It is held annually as a welcoming gesture for the University’s new students. The LDP has decided to adopt the theme “Cartoonology 101” for 2011. The objective of the event was to expose the culture of celebration and partying to all Sunway University’s freshmen, said Joyce Ng, Deputy Chairman of LDP.
The event commenced with a spectacular violin performance by professional violinist Ashley from A Levels. Her grand performance pumped up the energetic crowd of 700 early in the event, just before The Faz, an acoustic band tone filled the atmosphere with Jazz music and romance.
Halfway through the night, the organizers strategically managed a 15-minute interval to encourage guests to socialize with students from different schools.
Amongst the activities was the signing of the signature wall and photography session with the awe-inspiring five-meter long graffiti banner, drawn by the infamous local graffiti artist known only as Bonks2.
Cartoonology 101 continued to shake the ground with a dance performance by Sunway University resident dance crew, The Revolution. While acoustic performer Lindy showcase her talent on the mic, resembling a twist of Avril Lavigne in her music.
The night was filled with good cheer and suspense as the crowd awaited the nomination of Freshie King and Queen. The CIMP camp won both awards as classmates Stefan Khoo and Ashley Tan were named Freshie King and Queen of the year.
The final performance by the Amazing Chindian duo put on a stunning mixture of beatbox and Rap to close off the stage and make way for the opening of the Dance Floor.
Cartoonology 101 proved to be a success with various online testimonies of various students of different ethnicities and schools. ‘The party was Awesome!’ uttered blogger Janice Cheng.
