Poster of Raleigh KL's Skytrex Fundraising Event posted at Fayette House.

Fayette House is currently supporting a fundraising event for a Raleigh KL's expedition to Bornea at the end of this year! If you were in college today, you might have spotted a poster, entitled "Skytrex Adventure" on ADP notice board. Also, there were fliers left on ADP counters for interested Skytrex participants. The posters can also be spotted in Fayette House, cafeteria and 1st Floor.

So, what's happening you ask. On Tuesday (June 8, 2010), Raleigh KL will conduct a fundraising event at Taman Pertanian Malaysia, Shah Alam. The purpose of the fundraiser is to support the expenses of two Raleigh KL members who will be going for an expedition to Borneo for community work at the end of the year. It is a very noble cause of course but they need fund. And in order to collect enough fund for their expedition, they want you to have fun while helping with the fund!

Here's the deal. There are four available slots for the Skytrex adventure on Tuesday; 9am, 10.30am, 12pm and 1.30pm. Raleigh KL is providing transportation from Asia Jaya Putra LRT Station one hour before each booking time slots. At the rate of RM65, you will be provided with t-shirt, glove, entry fee to Taman Pertanian Malaysia, transportation (as mentioned), lunch and lots of fun when you go from tree to tree via series of aerial obstacles suspended at 3 meters to 22 meters in the air! You can cash or bank-in to 1430-0006860-05-5 (CIMB Bank), email the persons-in-charge your scanned copy of bank-in slip as proof and notify them through sms by this Saturday (June 5, 2010).

Orientation for May 2010 Intake

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to mix around different types of fishes and put them in an aquarium? Well that was what SEGi College Subang Jaya (SCSJ) did on May 24, 2010. There were not only ADP students this time, but a mix of people from FOCAD, FOBAA and Foundation studies among others. The day began with a massive rush when fresh graduates from all over Malaysia and the world dashed towards their respective counters on the ground floor of SCSJ. Members from all SCSJ clubs, including Fayette House, the Psychology Club, Communication Club and the SEGi College Student Council, to name a few, joined in to control this colossal tidal wave of students. After a two hour fight, all students managed to register themselves and find a spot in the Multi-Purpose Hall (MPH).


The orientation officially started with a speech from our principal Dr. Lisa Tan which consisted of encouraging words of wisdom as well as advice on what to expect in SCSJ. Not to forget, there was also a special appearance from UIU’s own Pete the Peacock that entertained the new students.


There was then a briefing from all members of the different faculties to keep it informative. After the boring stuff was done, a hyped-up Ms. Helena, ADP’s head got all the students on their feet with a little exercising and a lot of cheering for their favourite world cup teams. The ADP students were then gathered after lunch to register for their subjects and were given a short introduction to their Fayette House members. What a hectic day it was.
