AIMST Dental Students’ Association’s Mid Autumn Festival Event 2009

Posted on October 19, 2009 by Jolene

The AIMST Dental Students’ Association has really outdone themselves this time! We’ve only ever had internal events such as the ADSALympics (an annual sporting event among all batches… which i’ve never ever blogged about but hope I will someday) and the dental dinner. When I was in the committee, we’ve toyed with the idea of having a bazaar but with everyone’s irregular schedule (welcome to dentistry) it was difficult to come up with something.

So I have to say that I am very proud of the committee for pulling this off! The Mid Autumn Festival celebrations was never an official thing but they have successfully made it one this year. They even opened it up to the entire university and throngs of people came to take part in the festivities. Truly an AIMST event. 🙂

I took the opportunity to sell my stickers though it had absolutely nothing to do with mooncakes and full moons. That’s Jennifer and Deniece checking out my collection.

Swee Quin and Felicia were very sweet to layan as well!

I tell you ah, every class should have a Maxis. He can come up with the simplest money making ideas for zero cost. LOL. First there was that styrofoam platform with satay sticks sticking out of it, something like what you would find in a fun fair where you throw rubber bands at. Then there’s the lucky draw idea where he collected RM1 from everyone and if your name gets chosen, you’ll win half of the entire pool! Ingenious.

L-r: Josiah, Andy and Phillip.

Jeanette who couldn’t win anything from that satay sticks-rubber bands game.

Batch 4 – They were selling sparklers and eyebrows grooming. Quite clever also, you don’t need much capital for eyebrows grooming. Sabrina, I think you can start offering your services around campus. 🙂

IMG_2147 by you.
As for Batch 3, I didn’t see what else they were selling but I know there’s this thing called Sexy Potion. It’s Sarsi plus cincau. Interesting combination which tasted pretty good actually.

This was by Batch 2 and guys are the ones who always know the easy way out. The girls spent the whole afternoon making meehoon and stuff where else the guys just headed out to nearest coffee shop and came back with Satay. Which finished super fast too. -_-

IMG_2150 by you.
L-r: Sook Mei, Gabrielle, Phebe, Gillian and Alice. 
Quite a nice variety they had there. 

IMG_2151 by you.
Gorgeous handmade hairclips – props to Sook Mei.

IMG_2152 by you.
L-r: Phebe, Gillian, Alice, Stephanie. 
They were the ones who came up with the meehoon. There was Tom Yum style and Tomato style! Not too bad for a bazaar food stall. 

IMG_2154 by you.
Awww Jennifer, I love you for buying my stickers. :) 

IMG_2155 by you.
Sorry, I can’t remember your names.. I think you girls are from foundation right? Thanks for dropping by the booth!! 🙂

IMG_2156 by you.
Samuel, Adrian and Tee Luun try their luck at our super hard satay stick game. 

IMG_2157 by you.
Tee Luun has got some long hands going on so he won quite a bit from us. Boo.

IMG_2158 by you.
Soft toys for decoration.

IMG_2159 by you.
The girls from batch 3. The one in the Yukata is Sylvia who I would say, deserves most credit for initiating the Mid Autumn Festival celebration among the AIMST dental students. She was the one who introduced us to Kong Ming lanterns two years ago and she has made it a point to gather her classmates to conduct the event for the past few years.

IMG_2160 by you.
Some of the other drinks available that night.  What the HELL is Ball Soda?!

IMG_2161 by you.
And I finally had my mooncake fix!! Though I’m still craving for some Lotus ones though.

IMG_2162 by you.
Ling Hui and Yi ting with my mooncake. Damn cute. 🙂
IMG_2164 by you.
The star of the night – Cheow Poh Yee with her fairy godmother Lie Yuen. 

IMG_2165 by you.
Trying to be Fairy like.

IMG_2166 by you.
So did what I do best – be disgusting.

IMG_2167 by you.
The tailor had to get in on it as well.

IMG_2169 by you.
Meanwhile, my old bed frame was used to hold up the backdrop. From the curvature of it, you can totally tell that I have serious weight issues.

IMG_2172 by you.
Business!!!!

IMG_2173 by you.
Zhu Zen and Poh Yee the Chang Er.

IMG_2174 by you.
Chee Wen and Xin Yi with Chang Er as well. Initially the plan was to charge anyone who wanted to have their pics taken with Chang Er and Wu Gang (the tree chopper in the moon).

IMG_2177 by you.
Poh Yee was just finding an excuse to wear those elaborate lashes she bought from Lie Yuen’s sis, Lie Peh. Go toilovelash.blogspot.com if you want some eyelashes too! The bling blings are from me. You know where to get them. 🙂

IMG_2180 by you.
Here’s Sabrina working her magic with the tweezers. 

IMG_2182 by you.
Thank you Swee Quin for buying so many stickers!!! <3 <3 <3 many hearts for you. 🙂

IMG_2184 by you.
As with every event, our dean, Prof. Smales will make it a point to spend some time with us. He must be really happy that his pet project (The Faculty of Dentistry) has flourished into what it is today. 

IMG_2186 by you.
The sticker sellers (Brenda was such a good sales assistant. I paid for two of her dinners.) took some time off to have a picture with their dean.

IMG_2188 by you.
Prof. Smales joined the lucky draw as well.

IMG_2189 by you.
Our “moon”. Could’ve been better. As in the choice of materials.

IMG_2190 by you.
The moon is supposed to be yellow…come to think of it. Sorry guys. I gave a bad suggestion. 🙁

IMG_2192 by you.
Propping my bed frame up needed four strong arms. This means…….:( Four strong arms need to prop me up as well.

IMG_2193 by you.
Angela’s included.

IMG_2195 by you.
Yi Chin actually bought stickers from me! Ng koi sai ah Leng chai, tai pai yau lei pong chan ah!

IMG_2198 by you.
Having a go at that satay stick-rubber band game.

IMG_2204 by you.
Oh yeah, we were also selling lanterns. 🙂

IMG_2205 by you.
Prof. Luke checks out my sticker and rejected me when I tried to get him to buy some. Boo hoo hoo.

IMG_2212 by you.
Me and my moon bitch.

IMG_2215 by you.
Don’t know what he was doing with my sticker la.

IMG_2217 by you.
Sett was forced to take on the role as Wu Gang. Too bad Chee Wen didn’t have his bunny costume.

IMG_2219 by you.
With the axe in the shot.

IMG_2220 by you.
Nien with the two main actors and the tailor.

IMG_2221 by you.
l-r: The designer/tailor, Chang Er, Producer (I forked out over RM50 for materials, but don’t worry I have since claimed back from the class fund.), Designer/director, Wu Gang.

IMG_2223 by you.
Oh wells, the more the merrier.

IMG_2224 by you.
Sock Nee promoting our Lucky Draw.

IMG_2225 by you.
This is Shao Chang! One of my very rare friends from another faculty. If you don’t stay on campus and don’t play in a band or go to Christian Fellowship sessions, the only people you’ll know at uni are your coursemates and lecturers. 🙁 So quite happy that I have a MBBS friend. Must collect more!

IMG_2227 by you.
Here’s my dear Praveena who moved down the road from me.

IMG_2228 by you.
See the smile on Maxis’ face. Clearly a smile of someone duping his lecturers to part with their cash.

IMG_2229 by you.
Can see him eyeballing the note. Hahaha.

IMG_2231 by you.
Angela and one of the choki-choki that the rest of my classmates were holding. Nobody offered any to me!

IMG_2232 by you.
Wu Gang and Chang Er opened for business.

IMG_2253 by you.
Sales were pretty slow at the beginning but when it was time to make the pilgrimage to the sports complex to release the Kong Ming lanterns, our lanterns were selling like hot cakes! Totally sold out by the end of the night!

IMG_2255 by you.
Gillian and her mee hoon.

IMG_2259 by you.
Bought glow sticks from Ei Leng and Charis.

IMG_2264 by you.
The one where Peta and Aimee tried to take pics with the backdrop for free! *hands on hips*

IMG_2266 by you.
Myself and Aimee.

IMG_2270 by you.
Aw 🙁 Wish I had a nicer pic of my stall.

IMG_2272 by you.
Batch 4 had this service to send out messages to people (reminds me of high school!) and I had one from a not so mysterious person with the message, “LIE > LAI” scrawled on it with a vengeance. I always look forward to the times when Lie < Lai. Usually when I do something better than Jimmy, then that’s when I’m allowed to use that. I sent one note to Poh Yee with a drawing of her sexy body, boobs and all.

IMG_2276 by you.
OH LOOK! I can fit into the yukata.

IMG_2277 by you.
Ah~~~ Sin Sang, mou ah…! Hou sui ge nei.. 

IMG_2278 by you.
Hm, not demure enough.

IMG_2280 by you.
A couple of students from the foundation course were sporting enough to don the opposite gender’s costume. This girl put on Wu Gang’s costume.

IMG_2281 by you.
And her guy friend put on Chang Er’s costume!

IMG_2287 by you.
Our walking sandwich board.

Brenda’s artwork.

IMG_2304 by you.
When it was time for the Kong Ming lanterns to be set up, our class found out in dismay that we didn’t manage to get a lantern. 🙁 It was our final year and we were really looking forward to the whole Kong Ming lanterns thing. 

IMG_2358 by you.
I thought it was a clever idea to sell the lanterns so that it enticed non-bds students to participate in the procession.

IMG_2369 by you.
Sigh, my photo taking skills have been sucking as of late. Don’t know what’s wrong with my camera. 

IMG_2378 by you.
Again, too bad I don’t have a wide angled lens but if I did, you’d be able to see how beautiful the sky above AIMST looked that night. 

IMG_2379 by you.
The white thing in the middle is the moon.

IMG_2383 by you.
Chee Wen and Xin Yi with the sparklers they bought from Batch 4.

IMG_2385 by you.
A clearer photo.

IMG_2387 by you.
With Angela as well. Amazing how those sparklers can last so long.

IMG_2389 by you.

Without flash.

IMG_2399 by you.
I think Chee Wen took this picture. Good job!

IMG_2401 by you.
Haih, wish I brought my tripod.

IMG_2403 by you.
We were trying to emulate what we did to Jimmy back in Year 1.

tanglung34 by you.
Jimmy in Year1. 

IMG_2404 by you.
Attempt no.2

IMG_2405 by you.
L-r: Lie Yuen, Nien and Praveena

IMG_2407 by you.
Why can’t we have a good picture? Why?!

IMG_2409 by you.
At some point, Andy called out, “All the old people, come gather. Those above 23 years old one….come now. Take photo.” I looked at him and he changed, “Sorry! All above 22 years old one..” 😀

IMG_2411 by you.
Chee Wen the cyborg.

IMG_2413 by you.
And like any responsible university student, it was time to clean up the mess.

IMG_2417 by you.
This is a good attempt but I do wonder when will we ever take a proper class photo. Graduation day?!

IMG_2418 by you.
Myself and Victor. Another friend from the MBBS course.

IMG_2419 by you.
Sett destroys the moon.

I’m gonna miss all these big ass yumcha sessions which is quite normal for us already.

Here are some photos from the past four years worth of mid-autumn festival celebrations: 

IMG_1091 by you.
This was in Year 4 and it was the second time they had the Kong Ming lanterns!

IMG_1094 by you.
I actually prefer those metal frame ones with the glass paper.

IMG_1103 by you.
Don’t mind him.

IMG_1113 by you.
Some of the batch 4 juniors having their orientation at that time.

IMG_1114 by you.
One of the very few interbatch group photo. I don’t think there’s any batch 3 junior here though.

IMG_1119 by you.
That’s Lesley on the right! She’s Denise Tan’s (those from SMKSU would remember her!) younger sister! And in Batch 5, there’s Hsu Yin’s sister, Hsu Wern. 🙂 The little sisters of my high school mate. As for Hsu Wern, we have more of a history. Her mum and my mum were classmates in Malacca, Hsu Yin and myself were primary and secondary schoolmates and my mum was Hsu Wern’s piano teacher!

IMG_1122 by you.
That was when we had the Kong Ming lantern. 🙁

IMG_1124 by you.
The quality of the pics nicer right.

IMG_1126 by you.
Our group photo a year ago. You’ll be seeing more of this.

IMG_1129 by you.
Back then i was solely a dentistry celebration.

IMG_1135 by you.
The yearly pilgrimage to the sports complex to release the Kong Ming lantern. If you had better camera gear, you’d be able to take a gorgeous shot of the entire procession.

IMG_1136 by you.
Melvin and myself.

IMG_1142 by you.
Before sending our Kong Ming lantern up.

IMG_1143 by you.
This was when Ah Thong managed to recuse our lantern which came crashing down to Earth.

Year 3 (2007). That was when the Kong Ming lanterns were first introduced to the dental students. Read about it here.  


Wow Zhu Zen actually looks different here! 


This was the first year where it was a dentistry event.


Group photo of the then third year students (us!).


When Prof. Smales and Prof. Luke pose for pictures, all dental students will flock there.


And we had fun with the sparklers. In Year 2, Lie Yuen and I went to the park near our house and whiled the night away creating pictures with sparklers! Here’s the link to that post.


ooh! and glow sticks back then as well!


As you can see, the lantern parade was quite small that first year.


Hmmm…I think when my canon dies (my camera turn over rate is worrying high) I’ll go back to Lumix.


All Kong Ming lantern noobs.


Expelliarmus!


Avada kedavra!


The Batch 1 and Batch 2 students who were already staying out of campus adjourned to one of the playgrounds for some games. We were like kids running around the playground! I think I play more in university than I did in high school.


Quite a crowd eh for some playground fun?

As for Year 2, we did it on a smaller scale. Only a few of us gathered to walk around Lagenda Heights (where most of my classmates were staying since back then we were still in the old campus.) This is like really ancient times, the days before the Semeling Campus is ‘finally ready’. 


I was still rather excited at that time as the only time I played lanterns was when I was a little girl. Coming to AIMST allowed me to relive my childhood.


Gotta love group lantern photos.


The girls when we were 19 (me, heh) -21 years old. 


Hahahahaha…this is a memorable photo. 🙂 Yes, and I *had* to be in the middle. Thanks guys for not kicking me one side.


Octo-lantern boy!

Let’s go back further in time! Read my Year 1 blog post here. 

tanglung6 by you.
Meet the 19 years old Jimmy and 18 years old me. Like very skinny right both of us. I was just fresh out of National Service at that time.

tanglung7 by you.
The 20 years old Maxis.

tanglung8 by you.
It was only two weeks into dentistry at that time so what you see in this pictures are typical camp friendships (short lived but super friendly) compared to the familial bond we now share. I see these people more than I’ve ever seen any of my cousins. (except Shevie whom I saw everyday when I was a kid).

tanglung12 by you.
The girl in the grey shirt is Xiong Khee who left to do medicine. Two other classmates, Lydia and Carol, also left half way through Year 1 to do medicine. 

tanglung25 by you.
Lol, weird formation.

tanglung31 by you.
Maxis and Ah Thong back then. Why all the boys so skinny back then?

tanglung40 by you.
That’s Brenda! 😀

tanglung43 by you.
AIMST students now have real hostels to stay in. Back then, they rented terrace houses for us as hostels.  7 students to a house so obviously there was plenty of drama. Screaming at each other, check. Bitching, check. Sweeping dust out of your room and leaving it on the staircase landing, check. Only one of it was done by me, you gotta guess which. 🙂

The houses they rented for us were so pathetic! Almost every house had a leaking problem and the stench from the sewage system around that area was so bad that the smell can waft up through a manhole situated IN the house itself. Ughh. We dumped stacks of newspaper on the hole to absorb the stench. 

tanglung47 by you.
l-r: Harveen, Jimmy, Myself, Brenda and Narjit.

tanglung48 by you.
More happy Year 1 photos.

tanglung49 by you.
And this was how our house looked like. 

Those were the days. :)
