Team SUCCESS

Three entreprising individuals from our club took part in a competition organised by the SINGAPORE INDIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY. The competition was titled SICCI YOUTH ENTERPRISE AWARD 2007. The team members comprising of Satheeish, Rooban & Rafi had to come up with a business proposal for which they spent months researching on. Their proposal impressed the first panel of judges and they have qualified for the final round. The finals will be held on Saturday 29 September at the SICCI conference room whereby they will be interviewed by SICCI Chairman, Mr M Rajaram.

We wish the guys the very best in emerging victorious!

Vasantham Star - Round 4

Our Vignesh once again stunned the crowd with his awesome performance earlier this evening on the 4th LIVE show of Vasantham Star 2007, emerging the top in the SMS ranking. The SIM ICC gang (Ponraj, Kishure, Farah, Deepa, Sanjay & Varman) who had gone down to render their support, later had dinner at Adam Road Food Centre after the show, where Vignesh's mum was so generous to offer us $50 for the expenditure of our dinner in appreciation of our continued support for Vignesh. Vignesh & his family were having dinner there too.

We're definitely hoping to catch him at the grand finals! If you're interested in joining us to catch Vasantham Star "live" at MediaCorp Studios to support Vignesh, please do not hesitate to contact Deepa at 93225703 for tickets.

Captain's Ball

The SIM ICC gang had gathered this evening for a friendly game of Captain's Ball at the Ngee Ann Polytechnic Sports Complex, where our friends from NTU & RP joined us as well. Today saw the biggest ever informal gathering among ourselves, so it was indeed a delight that most of us could make it for the game, considering how difficult it is to congregate our members on friday evenings due to their personal commitments and evening classes.

Despite being a predominantly female gathering, our 5 boys (Rafi, Ali, Navin, Dinesh & Sanjay) who turned up were sporting enough to join the girls in an exciting and vigorous game, which kicked off around 7pm and ended around 9pm. It was truly an enjoyable experience and good form of exercise for all of us, not to mention that it gave us the well-needed opportunity of strengthening our camaraderie & getting to know some of the members better.

If you're interested in joining us weekly (tentatively on friday evenings) for Captain's Ball or Soccer (dependent on the turnout for the day), please contact Shanjini at 81633464 or Dinesh at 98954567 for more information. Thank you!

SIM Student Buzz Week

In conjunction with the SIM Student Buzz at campus, this week sees the various CCAs hosting & promoting their booths at The Atrium. The 1st few days kicked off with street soccer at the ground level among the various institutions. The school seemed like a bazaar with various make-shift shops selling all kinds of titbits, chocolates, ice-cream, candy floss, handmade products & even gadgets.

There were a number of performances (breakdancing, singing, etc) including the Hey Gorgeous! show by Channel U in campus. Our Indian Cultural Club were given a pretty prominent place to set up our booth at The Atrium. Shanjini & Geetha did this magnificient kolam of the club's logo with orange-colored rice. Many passer-bys took photographs of it. Proud indeed.

The following video was captured yesterday at The Atrium when the babes & the dudes battled it out against each other. Darsha & Gaayathri, followed by Ali & Satheeish. T'was funny watching them fight!

Vasantham Star - Round 3

Vignesh wasn't at his peak at yesterday's performance as he was suffering from throat infection, but that didn't at all compromise his performance, where he rendered the song Babylona. A difficult song indeed with many variations of high pitches, but we're proud that our boy has pulled off the song pretty well to secure himself yet again in the top 5 position. The SIM ICC gang came down this time with banners & posters in strong support for him. In fact, Vignesh's supporters had the most number of banners for today's show!

Please do continue to support & vote for Vignesh!
