BOLLYWOOD NIGHT

 

13^th October 2019, Sunday – Kolej Sakura’s celebrated its first ever Diwali during “Sakura Bollywood Night” handled by the Discipline and Protocol Exco. The word Diwali means “row of lights” which is why people who celebrated this always decorate their home with oil lamps called diyas. This celebration is not complete without kolam.

  

            On the Sunday morning starting at 8 am, the kolam was drawn and decorated with rice flour led by the Indian students in Kolej Sakura. It was located at the ground floor of Blok B. Kolams are drawn in order to invite ants, birds and other small creatures to eat it and is also to welcome the Goddess of Prosperity, Lakshmi. This activity is named Let’s Art, ended on the afternoon, 12 p.m.

            All apartments participating in this program must decorate their apartment according to the Diwali theme because there will be an Open House activity. Two apartments will be combined, and they will cooperate to decorate one of the houses. They will be serving foods for those who came to their house. The students also dressed up nicely according to the theme, Diwali which makes the event unique compared to others. Photobooth sections were available in all the apartments where people can capture their memories for that night.

Miss Ain and Miss Farida went to every apartment to evaluate their creativities. Some apartments even prepared games for Miss Ain and Miss Farida in order to make the event much livelier. While visiting the apartments, Miss Ain and Miss Farida took the chance to get to know the students better, asking how they are doing and so on. The purpose of this event was not just to celebrate Diwali, but to also brings the students together. In the near future, hoping that more event like this can be organized in order to make life in Kolej Sakura more exciting.
