It was the first ever in-kind event that i have attended to. We went there on the last day for the closing and the prize giving ceremony. Actually, we also went there on the previous day, but we couldnt get the seats as we were late. So, with the hope of getting the strategic location in the Dewan Canselori UTP, we went there as soon as possible after maghrib. and, yes, finally we got the seats, yet, not so strategic la (tgk le pic tu, the view was not nice~serabut je tiang light effect tu), but..so-so la. The majlis began with the speeches, followed by gamelan and nasyid performances, announcement of the winners, Quran recitation by the best winners, and prize giving ceremony. and we went back before the event finished. ooppss..lupa, we got souvenir tau..hehe
