SUBANG JAYA: School of Architecture, Building and Design (SABD) final-year students encouraged building relationships between students from different semesters through various activities at the Chaparty event on 3 October.
President of T-Ribe (SABD’s committee team for Chaparty) Jolene Hor Wei Fern said, “We want to
strengthen the relationship between seniors and juniors because this can really help students to excel.”
“We realise that university life shouldn’t only be about assignments,” Hor said.
“We want the students to look back at this chapter of their lives and talk about it someday.”
Hor said the event was successful because everyone took some time off from their work to bond with each other and build long lasting relationships to cherish.
Chaparty Project organiser Garnette Dayang Robert said the committee came up with a Mamak
theme for this event.
“We wanted an atmosphere where people feel comfortable and could mingle around.
“It’s also a place that we could all relate to. That’s when we decided on the theme of Mamak that
represented our aim,” Garnette said.
Garnette said the Chaparty event has brought the team closer to students from other semesters
as they went through various challenges in organising this event.
SABD student Chia Sue Hwa, 19, said, “One of the most memorable moments I have was when a few seniors voluntarily shared their words of wisdom with the crowd.”
Chia said there was a sense of sentimentality in the air as it reminded everyone why they
belonged in SABD.
“This event was definitely a success because everyone was socialising and cheering,” Chia said.
School of Communication student Annabel Michael, 19, who attended the event said, “I think it was a really good initiative and the organisers did an amazing job for this event despite their busy schedule.”
Schol of Engineering student Darren Lee Jun Weng, 21, said it would be good to have similar events
in other schools.
“It is a great way to bond, make new friends from different semesters and we can improve our
soft skills too,” he added.
