வேட்டையாடு விளையாடு 2008

“Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu” (Hunt & Play) 2008 is an island-wide one-day race event which involves the finding of clues at respective checkpoints to discover the next destination and performing certain tasks at each checkpoint. The significance of this event is that some learning journey aspects about Singapore are infused into the race through the checkpoints, games and tasks to be performed.

SIMICC holds the distinction of organizing this first ever event-of-its-kind to be organized at tertiary level. This will be the second consecutive year of running the event, following the success of the well-received Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu 2007. This event is targeted at students of Indian origin of all tertiary levels inclusive of Junior Colleges, Polytechnics and Universities.

The competition aims to promote interaction and foster bonds with our Indian youth community, as well as allow them to engage in healthy sporting events, hence taking a break from their hectic school life.

Consolation Prize for Minerva

Despite claiming only the consolation prize for the dance competition, our Akshava girls did SIMICC proud by putting up an engaging performance which showcased their effort and creativity practiced hard over the past 2 months. They fused contemporary steps with a couple of traditional steps to form a uniquely captivating dance which wow-ed the audience at the SP Convention Centre.

Special thanks to Shanjini, Ponvili, Sathiya, Rafi and Giri who helped the girls with their costumes, make-up and welfare throughout. Also, special thanks to Rafi once again for remixing the song to which the girls danced to.

Of course, not forgetting all those who turned up in support of the girls' performance, a huge THANK YOU! to you guys.
