Due to the less crowd expected, the Award Ceremony was held at Chaitya Hall, Fortune Inn Valley View instead of the usual outdoor venue. Everyone took time to dress up for the event. The Batch 28 girls were very well-dressed, most of them donning sarees or ethnic wear (probably their last time in India).
Reached Valley View quite early, and we had time to take some pictures and chit chat before we were ushered into our seats. The event started with a speech by our MMMC Dean, Dr. Ullas Kamath. Our BDS 3 representative - Ken also gave an impressing speech. :) So proud of him. The formal speeches were followed by the prize giving to the academic award holders of B28. 100% attendance awards were given to both batches.
It has become our tradition to enjoy our lecturers' performance during Annual Day, for a change. They never fail to impress us with their dedication to their performances and their talent in music and dance. This time, there was a Malay Joget performance, a song rendered by the lecturers, and a Chinese sleeve dance (Rachel will be proud seeing it :) )
The buffet that followed the events was as good as always. A glutton such as me couldn't have enjoyed better. A four or five course dinner (I can't remember) followed by cake and ice cream for dessert :D The dinner ended the night. But the activities were not yet over when we BDS are concerned. Spent the rest of the night taking pictures with our lecturers and batchmates. Many thanks to our enthusiastic photographers Zheng Tao and Ken (ours mostly by Ken :) ) for the great moments captured through your lens!
So that's about it. It's time to let the pictures speak :)
