Night of Terror 2011

Finally.

It's here.

Hail,

The first student-organized event held in Perdana University.

The Night of Terror 2011,

in conjunction with Halloween.

It was, a getaway from stress, you could say. Held right after the mid-semester assessment, it was the time for everyone to let their hair down and party hard right to the core.

So the responsibility was entrusted to the Gourmet Club, and to them we put our trust in.

At half-past seven on the 2nd of November, we boarded the bus.

Oh, and I haven't introduce my choice of costume to you readers.

I guess everybody in their right minds would agree I have mixed graduation and Halloween up. Truth was, I did NOT!!

I went as our beloved professor, Professor Tin Tun.

I can assure you, the stylish hairstyle and blazer isn't something you'll see me wearing everyday

Anyway it wasn't filled with any intention to provoke violence, humiliation or anything negative. It must be noted that the writer has huge respect towards the said professor.

Whatevar.

We arrived at 8 p.m. and there was a queue at the entrance to the building. Those who arrived without costumes were sentenced to the artful ingeniousness of Vidianna. For example?

Mutated cat Nain.

Ahh well, the power of lipstick and mascara.

Girl power!

The event started with a short walk down the haunted corridors of Block B. Boo. The place was dark and 'weird' noises came out from nowhere. As we walked past a staircase, a man in a raincoat sprang out from the shadows, thankfully nobody went into shock.

However, as we penetrated deeper into the depths of the building, a ghoul stood requesting for payment (gotta admit I was stunned for....a millisecond. Enough time for ion channels in my brain to leak some potassium ions out).

Anyway, it transpired, most of the lecturers came in costumes.
(kinda sad the students haven't embraced the grace of Halloween haha)

Death and his minion, pontianak pink.

A ghoul strangling Yih Hoong for not putting a costume on.

The food was not bad, prepared by the students themselves with limited budget. It was rather ok. Fried rice was yummy, and the punch was ok.

The girls in Greenfront came up with the fried chicken, and it was just cool.

Fruit kebab and sausages with barbeque sauce. Mmmm.

After the food was devoured and people were starting to chat about soap operas, it was game time. First, it was apple biting, which was an improvisation of the classical apple bobbing. Here, an apple was tied to a string and people were sent to sink their teeth into the apple.

Hmm.

After several rows, tantrums and refusals, the game took off with a bang.

Notice Bryan swallowing the whole apple with his huge chomp.

Prof. Judy snatching the apple from the jaws of Shantini (not in picture).

* The writer did participate but this was a case of brain versus brawn as Prof. Skantha spread a layer of saliva on his hand, coated the apple with it, and the writer withdrew from the contest without provocation.

After the exciting game, it was time for the traditional activity in every other party:

DANCING TIME!!!!!

Tiban break danced to the joy of everyone before pulling Borene in with him.

The professors danced to a romantic tune of 'My Heart Will Go On'.

The student became the mentor in traditional dances.

And the huge flash mob. Macarena PARTYYYYYY!!!

And that draws our Night of Terror 2011 to a close.

It was, absolutely, a success but improvements can still be done.

See ya till next year yo!

Here's a parting gift from the organizers:

Don't catch nightmares ;)

Three cheers for a successful Night of Terror 2011.

Looking forward to next year, when people aren't shy to put costumes on, and more participants (juniors) will be able to join us ;)

Signing off.
