Two more days to go till opening ceremony


In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1


Yeap...my uni (the new AIMST campus. The old one was in Amanjaya) is having its official opening ceremony this coming Sunday. And guess what, our Honorable Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is officiating it! I attended the preparation meeting yesterday (there's another rehearsal later). This meeting is just to let us students know about the plans and how things work on that day. I volunteered for ushering and we ushers job is to welcome the PM and the Cabinet as well as other VVIPs. About 40 students are stationed at the main entrance of the Great Hall and we are the very first students who will be seeing the PM coming down from his car. It is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us. More ushers are stationed in the Great Hall itself and other places such as the lifts and strategic spots around the campus. Marquees (Big canopies and fully air-conditioned. 5-Star canopies) are set up near the admin building for the VVIPs and the delegates to have their lunch. Some students can also take their lunch there if there are seats available. The roofs of the buildings are washed (it is sparkling clean right now) since the lasts 2 weeks and many preparations are being made to make this event a success. It is really a proudful moment for our uni. Decorations are also made to make it more memorable and beautiful.


Furthermore, the whole campus will be lit up tomorrow night! It is gonna be a beautiful sight. Now as you can see, only few main lights (most of it are spotlights, so you know how much energy is wasted if too many lights are switched on every single night) are on around the campus during normal days. So when we knew that the WHOLE uni is going to be lit up, we know that it is again a once-in-a-lifetime scene. So get ready your cameras, guys!


I'll try to update about the ceremony with pictures in my latter posts (an absolute for tomorrow's night campus lit-up sight) .


So till then, please pray for this coming Sunday event and continue to pray for me.


God bless. Jesus loves you.
