Freshies’ Nite 2009 was held in much pomp and glamour to welcome the freshmen of Sunway College Johor Bahru. The event was held on 27 March at the Multi Purpose Hall. As the theme of the night was ‘Sporty’, about 150 freshmen were geared up in sports wear enthusiastically waiting to have fun throughout the night. The hall was beautifully decorated with colourful balloons prepared by the Student Ambassadors.

      The event started with a special cheerleading performance by none other than our very own “sexy babes” (who happened to be the boys from the Student Ambassadors). As the crowd roared with laughter, the evening kicked off with a warm welcome by the Masters of Ceremony, Krithika Loganath and Kharis Ishan. The evening continued with an energetic hip hop dance performed by the members of the Dance Club. The 150 students were then divided into 10 teams for the ice breaking session and this was followed by a game called ‘Balloon Bursting’ which saw the crowd going wild as they tried to burst each others balloons which were tied to their ankles.

     Various performances were lined up for the freshmen. Kenneth from MUFY July 08 gave a soulful rendition of the song ‘A Beautiful Mess’ which was followed by a Mascot Designing Competition as groups dressed up their mascots in cheerleading outfits made out of newspapers and recyclable items. The crowd burst out in laughter as our mascots marched down the aisle in their outrageous outfits. The crowd then settled down and enjoyed a sweet duet of the song ‘Lucky’ performed by Joan and Kenneth Goh of A-Levels Jan 09. Everyone in the hall was definitely grooving to the beat as Kenneth performed the song ‘This Love’ followed by a performance by Colin of MUFY July 08 with the song ‘I’m Yours’. Besides that, the student ambassadors put up a great sketch full of humour. The fun filled event ended with a prize giving ceremony and lucky draws.

Freshies’ Nite 2009 was a hit among the students. This event was made possible by the Student Ambassadors and all students who contributed. We hope the next Freshies’ Nite will be as successful as this.
