FIESTA CAHAYA 2006!!

On 18th February 2006, a great history have been recorded for Indian students of university Malaysia Sabah in organizing an Indian culture show . It was a huge success for us as we didn’t expect a lot of good response from the audiences. Our Menteri Belia dan Sukan Sabah was the chief guest for the day, and he personally said the best and most professional event of the year is fiesta cahaya 2006!! We all shouted to joy!!! You might be wondering what’s all this Fiesta cahaya all about. Well, let me give you a quick tour regarding this event…especially the organizers hard work.

This is the robotic of a pearl which was invented by the engineering students for the launching of the fiesta cahaya show…well done friends!! The pearl is our logo of fiesta cahaya 2006 . It took them 1 month to do the final testing of this robotic and it turn out well during the launching..Performances which was fully participated by all the Indians students of ums especially the juniors and watch out for the barathnatyam dancers, the modern dance, fesyen shows and drama together with the the lucky draw prizes sponsored by air asia,

All the students practice hard for months just to put on a perfect show….The best show of all was the Michael Jackson dance performed by a junior guy. His good in dancing and everyone started to called him by the name “Mariapam Jackson” Indian version of Michael Jackson!

Well, evry1 did put a lot of effort in organizing this event. We had lots of misunderstanding during meetings, sleepless night, going around getting sponsors, getting the hall ready, letters to type, technical problems, dancers practice, tickets selling, food supply and also transportation problems…but all this worth the effort. I still remember how I and my other volunteers went room to room to sell tickets and design free mehendi.

A great success for us Indian to be proud of… We even held a thanksgiving party for all those who put endless effort in organizing the fiesta cahaya show. All gave their gratitude and receive certificate for their tremendous job!!
