LEO Fiesta 2012



It’s April! We had organized LEO Fiesta 2012 on the very first week of this month. LEO Fiesta originally was called Food Bazaar which was organized by our club annually. Our team decided on changing the title of this event as we planned to add in more elements into this event to make it much more interesting.
 LEO Fiesta 2012 was a ‘night market resemblance’ event around the Mexican theme of ‘Fiesta’. This event aimed to raise club funds and also at gathering INTI students and their friends together in a merry atmosphere to relax before the stressful forthcoming exam period.  
This was a 2-day event– 3rd and 4th of April 2012 –divided into 2 sessions; morning and night sessions. The venue for the morning session was held at Student Concourse while the venue for night session was held at INTI’s hostel area, Hostel Street. Morning session for this event started from 10am to 4pm. We set up our ‘LEO Stall’ at the concourse and sold food such as marshmallows, cupcakes, herbal eggs and also packet drinks. Business was good as students would buy their breakfasts and lunches while they are on their way to class from our stall. 

Then we started setting up the stalls at the hostel street by 5pm before the night session started from 6pm to 11pm. For the night session, a stage was set up for performances such as band performances, dance performances and movie screening to make the event merrier. We took this opportunity by inviting participants from INTI’s Got Talent 2012 (event organized on March by our club) as our performers so that students who missed their performances could enjoy them in this event. In addition, a drinking and a food competition were held with prizes for the winners.

‘Pasar Malam’ in-campus? Yes, not to forget the main part of this event, we had brought in around 30 various vendors each night for example food, accessories, and etc.; we also had game booths around! A bit like at a fancy fair. Stalls that usually operate at different night markets around Malaysia were invited. Our very own INTI clubs were also invited to open stalls. Not only considering students’ breakfast and dinner, students could also get their dinner and supper just steps away from their dorms. Lucky draws were held at the end of the event – in a manner to thank INTI students and their friends for attending our event and making all of this a success! 
 
Lastly, I would like to thank to all the participants of this event. I would say it was a very joyful event and it wouldn’t be that fun without y’all. Stay tuned for more upcoming projects by our club!
