That was a beautiful, sunny Saturday.
28th September 2013, marked the second Taylor's University School of Pharmacy(TUSOP)'s sports day!
Every member of this big family has gathered at the sports complex at 8 a.m. Even though it was early in the morning, everyone was full of energy and excited for the day!
Dr. Atif, the acting dean of the School of Pharmacy delivered an opening speech to mark the start of the event! We were glad to have the support from our acting dean and lecturers to spice up the sports event.
A warm up and stretching session was carried out right after the opening speech, in order to get all the members ready for upcoming activities, and to prevent injury of course. The crew prepared dances too! Putting their shyness aside, everybody (including lecturers!) tried their best to follow the dance moves lead by the dance crew! Thumbs up to them!
SOP's approximately 90 participants, we were divided into four homes. Blue, Pink, Yellow and Green!
With that, the official sports event started!
Firstly, the 50 meter sprint for both men and women!
Aqil and Ka Xin won gold medals in this session and made Blue house the leading house.
The competition amongst the houses were getting tense.
Followed next, the campus run!
It was a 3km run, participants were to run around the campus for two laps!
"Initially I thought it was just for one lap!" said Dr. June after she made it as the second runner up.
Meanwhile for men's, Mr. Selvaraja successfully retain his championship title. Make us all wonder what's his secret for being so fit?
All the participants came back to the gathering point looking exhausted. But the dodge ball competition started just after a short break, and everyone getting hyped up again! Well, that's the spirit!
Dodge ball competition is one of the highlights of the day!
Pink house, with Dr. Selvakumar won the first place without losing a single game!
It was tense competition, whereby all the participants are spirited to win, lecturers showing their wild sides, and the others cheering for their respective houses!
Lunch time!
After so many exhausting activities, lunch is what most people look forward to!
We had great meal, chi-chat among peers and photography session!
Rest and prepare for the next exciting activity!
Yes its telematch!
Telematch committees have been squeezing their brains for the interesting games for all! Kudos to all!
Telematch is, no doubt a great platform to allow us to form bond with each other, as well as compete points for respective houses!
All the badminton tournament participants were happy to be part of it!
