2009-09-24T00:01:00.001-07:00

O.k.... maybe it's disappointing but the tribute to Michael Jackson has it's course turned to a musical play with the theme...EVOLUTION OF MUSIC... but not to worry friends, MJ will be there...So the meeting yesterday went on fine...with ideas sent forth on how, what, when, where, who... obviously not why... DUH!!!( Its APAC and what else we do) but nothing has been finalised yet. Despite waiting for proper recruitment of the play committees, Punitha says that she'll be on parallel with member's input to expand the horizon of ideas. Having said so, the play is also to be based on a Malaysian setting with it's diverse culture. Oh well the next meeting is set on 6th October 2009 in sports complex. Check the event calendar for details.
And by the way, a new committee is to be elected by end of October. Those who are interested ( I mean like the serious one!!! ) please RSVP to Punitha.
Apart from that, Ramli Ibrahim's show is making it's way to AIMST UNIVERSITY and is held on 25th October 2009 in the GREAT HALL of AIMST UNIVERSITY... Those who are interested could obtain the tickets from Punitha, Kalai or Sindhu from batch 9 m.b.b.s. That's all folks... time to rock... BYEEEEEEEEEE

The Dance Continues...May the Force Be With You

2009-09-16T02:09:00.000-07:00

A short notice... but then... hey WHO CARES...members were there to do some moves...LOL... not many as for the overall member's count but enough to call it as a group. Held at sports complex and was another activity organised by Punita and Vanesh on 15th September 2009. So did anyone danced..LIKE DUH!!!!
It had a slow pick up but members were coming in with time. Halfway through, we stopped to have a short meeting on our next agenda... tribute to Michael Jackson kinda stuff, which continues next week Wed(23rd September 2009) Check our facebook event for details. The session later continued till the stipulated time.
The previous session was on Acapella and had it's go smoothly somewhere in June if I'm not mistaken, sadly I don't have the details on the event to update. Will update if I get it quick.
For those who are interested in joining the tribute, please feel free to put your thoughts into it and give your suggestion(s) at the upcoming meet.

Dance Lola Dance

Ayo... shylarrr.. dun wan... among the first few reactions held by the participants of the dance class of APAC. Led by Punitha the president herself, it was initially awkward for few contestants as they were seasoning themselves in the new environment. Many of the them had not danced before and lacked confidence to do so... fear not my dear friends.. you are in good hands. There were about 30 participants and that pretty much occupied the functional room located in AIMST sports complex. Punitha also coached some of the late comers so that they too can blend in with the others. However, some who came preferred a seat than to try some moves. It has not been confirmed yet to have it on a weekly basis, but there was a significant support to say.. HEY WHY NOT!!!

Break The Ice

2009-05-29T20:35:00.001-07:00

As decided the day earlier, we had our first formal event (I mean like taking minutes.. hehehe). Despite starting a little late, the event went on quite well. There were fewer people than the first day sadly. Members were divided into 5 groups and were stationed at various locations headed by the respective station masters. At every 5-10 minutes, they're rotated. Purposed for group dynamics, it was non other than to augment the bond between members. About an hour later, the individual groups enacted a sketch, of which the title was given earlier. Theme was to be comical and pretty much everyone executed it well. The agenda came to an end with a short video clip prepared by the vice-president himself (IT WAS REALLY GOOD!). The session ended about 7.30p.m with a smile on everyone's face :)

First Things First

2009-05-29T20:15:00.000-07:00

APAC had its very first meeting on the 27th May 2009. About 90 members were the turnout for the day. Apart from brief intro by the president, other matters discussed were probable events, feedback and election of new representatives of their respective faculties. It was pretty much of getting know the committee members and the function of APAC. However, our adviser Mrs. Devaki was not present on that day. Despite that, we managed to conjugate some ideas from the members to display an array of probable events in near future. The meeting ended about an hour later with a final decision to have an ice-breaking session on the next day.

Valentino...First Beat V

2009-05-29T19:42:00.000-07:00

It was night and the campus was in galore of eye-catching lights coupled with its magnificent architecture, hmmm what to say... It was awesome... LOL. 14th February it was and the day would be marked by millions worldwide - Valentine's Day. Placing the concert in great hall the show was nonetheless a mix of Chinese, Indian and Malay entity. It was about 5 years ago when the very first First beat was concerted. Consisting mainly of senior students from various faculty, the show had gained a reputable name along these years. Live bands, solo vocals and some traditional medley were the highlights of the show. Despite having various performances at every concert, there were complete concord at every performances. The night was fine and the romantic mood elevated the ambience. First Beat marked their consistent ability in giving a night to lax our mind.

A glimpse of the past for the beginning..Dance of Destiny

2009-05-28T20:51:00.001-07:00

The clock was ticking and anxiety accelerated on every committee's heart. The night before stood long with depressed setting but not an inch off spirited we were. It might appear dramatic to many, but dare asking anyone involved in the very first musical play , it would not be less as expressed. It took almost a year from the start of the idea to set the play on. Dance of Destiny it's titled, a magical night it was, a longing memory it is. Despite the multifaculty involvement is inevitable, the idea however was started by m.b.b.s batch 9 somewhere mid 2007. The play should have had its go at an earlier date, but due to some trivial problems... the play had a delay. Chaired by Punitha (President of APAC), the play had a great start and 9 months later, every effort was witnessed in the play. Grabbing the attention of 800 audiences, none moved from their seats despite the hot environment. Towards the end, the applause gained was an emotional achievement and the comments received was just enough to pay our efforts well.
