Where East Meets North, South and West -KBU International Night 2011

The International Student Committee recently hosted the International Night in our college. Being a multi-cultural and extravagantly diverse college, an event that is great to bring together students from all walks of life for a night filled with fun, dance, music and just a tad bit of drama, hence the name ‘International’ Night.

It started off with the participants of the fashion show gathering in the Student Services Department to get ready for the fashion show. There was a voluntary make-up artist who dolled up all the participants, so credits to her for transforming them from pretty to prettier ;)

While the participants got dressed, all the guests slowly started arriving at the Multipurpose Hall where the event was being held. To show our appreciation to those who came early, goodie bags were handed out to the first 100 hundred guests; somewhat like an ‘earlybird’s special’.

The first agenda on the program was the cultural performances from the international students of KBU. Each performer blew the audience away with their talent and showmanship.

Between that, dinner was served to the guests as well as the participants. It was a buffet with a wide array of delicious food. The committee this the opportunity to pick out audience members who were remarkably dressed for the Best Dressed Award. This was really tough since there was no single person who didn’t look good that night.

After that was the Cultural Fashion Show. This was particularly interesting as the students (and lecturer!) came in couples portraying the traditional costume of people from different nationality. To name a few, there were traditional costumes of China, India, Maldives, Myanmar, Sarawak and Sudan. Each costume looked unique in its own way and all the models should be given lots of credit for that.

Once the performances and dinner was over, the dance floor was opened, transforming the main hall into our very own club. There were all sorts of music being played and it was evident that all KBU students liked their ‘beats fast and their bass down low’ ;)

That marked the end of the 2011 International Nite but the beginning of a whole new year to plan the next International Night which will definitely be double the entertainment!!
