Happy Birthday to Val, Gayathri, Rafi & Rooban

This month saw the birthdays of 4 members of SIM ICC, including Gayathri's birthday surprise which was held on tuesday. Rooban and Rafi share the same birthday which is today. They were given a mini pleasant birthday surprise bash on campus on friday before Val's at Ngee Ann after our weekly Captain's Ball. Rooban's and Rafi's birthday surprise consisted of a mini dare and forfeit which they had to perform. Our Vasantham Star Vignesh was generous enough to render a song for the birthday boys. SIM ICC thanks all those who took their time off to attend the surprise in giving the boys and the girl a memorable moment to cherish. We wish them all the best in their future endeavours.

SIM ICC Meeting after November 15

Dear members,

The examination period for RMIT courses starts this week. We have in mind to have a gathering to celebrate the birthdays of our October babies in our club, after November 15 (when examinations are over). The date and venue of the event will be sent to you as soon as possible. In addition, we will be discussing upcoming events and proposals by our fellow members for shows and events.

Please do attend the meeting and let us know of your attendance after the sending-in of venue and further details.

Thank you!

Yours sincerely,

Captain's Ball Tournament

The following, organized by the SIM Netball Club a.k.a Raven, was held on campus today at the courtyard on the 1st level from 9am to 4pm. 2 teams were formed by SIM ICC, each consisting of 6 team members, as per required. Each team had 2 girls atleast - the minimum as stated by the organizers. Satheeish, Rooban, Rafi, Geetha, Gayathri & Usha formed a team named Succezz, while Ali, Dinesh, Gabriel, Sanjay, Safiya & Darsha formed another team named Oowa Oowa.

Team Succezz emerged the top qualifier in their group after beating 3 other teams within their group, to qualify for the quarter-finals. Unfortunately, the other teams proved too strong for them. Nevertheless, their fighting spirit was apparently evident and undying, as Team Oowa Oowa cheered for them. Team Oowa Oowa, on the other hand, was booted out after 3 games.

Overall, a challenging yet a fun sporting day for us.

Aaraathanaa 2007

Satheeish & Darsha have done us proud by clinching the 3rd prize for CCP (Customary Costume Parade) at the recent Aaraathaana 2007. They performed an enactment of the Karwa Chauth - a North Indian festival. A married woman celebrates this day with great fervor and dedication, by observing a fast and praying for the long life of her husband. The most important aspect of this day is that a dawn to dusk fast is undertaken by the North Indian ladies and seeing the moon they finally break the fast. Darsha took our hearts away by giving a splendid performance while Satheeish exuberated his suave charms to wow the audience.

Special thanks goes out to Mathi, Shanjini, Gayathri & Sanjay who helped the couple out with their dressing and make-up backstage. SIM ICC would like to convey a huge THANK YOU! to all of you who not only came down for the show to support the couple, but also have been watching them rehearse all along before the show and showing your genuine concern and support by correcting and motivating them.

The gang had dinner together at Al-Ameen after the show to celebrate the win garnered. It was indeed an evening to remember and we definitely look forward to more of such gatherings. Below are more pictures taken in school on that day before the competition. They had been rehearsing conscientiously since morning that day, which of course has proved to be much fruitful. We applaud their undying effort.

The following message was sent by Satheeish & Darsha just before the commencement of their performance at the show:

"Folks. Please sit back and relax. What you are about to see on stage, is the realisation of all your hard work, time and comments. When you hear the applause at the end of the performance, we want you to remember that they are applauding you and the effort you've put in to make this performance materialise. Whether we win or not depends on God, but in our eyes, we've already won because through this CCP, all of us found a reason to palagaran with each other even more. The both of us would like to dedicate our performance to each one of you. We hope we can make you feel proud after we walk off the stage."

We're indeed happy for them and very much proud of them! Here's hoping that our SIM ICC soars to greater heights!
