Welcome Tea 2008

28th August 2008 welcomed the freshmen of NTU to our wonderful club. An event which went according to planned and presented us with eager-looking and enthusiastic freshies.

Recruitment fair 2008

Well, as you can see. This is the 3rd post for today and I feel like I have no brain capacity to type out the happeneings of Recruitment Drive 2008. Let’s just say, we hit our target on Day 2 and Azim seriously wanted to ‘tutup kedai’ on Day 3 at 3pm (we were only suppose to start packing up at 4pm) tsk tsk tsk.

Farewell 2008 by the beach

On Saturday 26th July 2008, we finally put the NTUsilat club farewell into action. And i have to say, it went super duperly well. All the plans and effort put in, it was nice. We, the current members of the club, became the ‘dayang-dayang’ for the seniors and the ex Exco. Their requests were our commands. =)

On behalf of the Exco, I would like to thank Halim for the wonderful ideas in hosting this event.

IVP 2008.

Hello, hello! Be prepared for image overload. There will be a string of events up for post. First things first, let me introduce the new executive committee 08/09.

President : Azim

Vice-president : Syaza

Treasurer : FIrdaus

Secretary : Hernidiana

Now, let me start with the Silat Invitational Competition hosted by Republic Polytechnic on 6th, 7th , 8th, 14th and 15th June 2008. We cheered, cried, screamed and even had our own reggae cheer. NTU Silat club came in 2nd overall champion out of 10 participating schools. A joy all of us shared.

With the new exco ready to serve and honour their duty, IVP 2009 will be hosted by our very own Nanyang Technological University.

Universiti Malaya: PENDEKAR SE’ABAD 4

As suggested by the NTU Silat Club coach Mr Ilyas Hakim Jamaluddin, I’ve finally managed to steal some time to update about the not so recent Universiti Malaya: Pendekar Se’abad 4 competition which was held from 21-24 February 2008 ( sorry coach ). As being the only representative from Singapore, NTU Silat Club, represented by 10 athletes and headed by its coach, Mr Ilyas and Team Manager, Miss Herni, was not cowed by the intense pressure it faced and managed to bring glory to the school. Here is a reproduced of the email sent out by Mr Ilyas to summarise the achievement of NTU Silat Club in the land of the Twin Towers…

Silat Pengantin Workshop

Rizman Hassan, 26, has always been interested in the traditional martial arts of silat since young. His interest turned into unbridled passion after he became an active member of ntusilat club and had since represented his university in many tertiary and national silat competitions during his undergraduate days.

So it was of no surprise when he mooted the idea of learning to perform the silat pengantin which is ubiquitously seen during the wedding ceremonies of Malay brides and bridegrooms. After discovering an article about silat pengantin in a local newspaper, he started to ask around among the ntusilat club members to gauge their interest in learning the art of silat pengantin too.

And so on a rainy night last Monday, 24 March 2008, ntusilat club organised its inaugural silat pengantin workshop for its members. A healthy turnout of 18 participants showed up in Activity Room 2 at around 7.30pm. The night turn into a reunion of sort with the appearance of ntusilat club alumni such as Darwis and Razali who took time off from their busy work to gain some knowledge about this artistic aspect of silat.

Razali, Darwis, Faizal Bulu, Badman and Raihan

Clearing The Cobwebs

It’s been a long time since I paid a visit here…

Time for some spring-cleaning…

Made a few changes:

1. Changed the face of the website (bored of the old look).
2. Opened up a yahoo account for ntusilat (ntusilat[at]yahoo[dot]com[dot]sg).
3. Opened up a flickr account (store ntusilat photos and can hotlink from there).
4. Transformed the look of the media player.
5. Replaced Raya song with Rock song.

That’s about it.

Feedbacks are appreciated.

Adios!

NTU Silat Gila-Gila Jalan Raya ‘07

NTU Silat Gila-Gila Jalan Raya ‘07 ~ NTU Silat Crazy Raya Outing ‘07

Well it was a totally crazy, wild, outrageous, hilarious and fun Raya outing.

Haven’t been laughing as much till my jaws ached.

And it was great to learn a few more stuff about the new members through the interactions and conversations and finally memorised their names; erm… in alphabetical order Adib, Andi, Anisah, Hayati, Herni, Liyana (sorry forgot to add you), Razee, Syaza, Sukiman.

Really cool and great people.

Really hope you guys and gals stay on with NTU Silat.

It was nice to get updates from the alumnis such as Kak Lin “Lil girl at the window”, Renee The Genius, Nasir “Bruce Lee”, Rizman “Circus Trainer” and The Godfather RizlanLuth. and his cutey baby son,

Last but not least the great friends that have been around.

To the committee, thanks for the great organisation. Without you, the outing would not have taken place.

So give yourselves a pat on the back.

As a teaser…
