Despite the fact that not many turned up at last night's Angklung training, we celebrated our Augustians and Septemberians with fun and joy. Although some (who did come to the training session) were feeling unsatisfied and disturbed with other musical group's training in the same room, but it did not distract the party in the end.
So for those who were celebrated last night, congratulations!! Another year to live, you guys should be thankful.
And for the members who had bought all the foods and drinks (you know who you are), thank you so much! We went back to our mahallat with our stomach full.
For the super-seniors, especially Bro. Najib who was the only one who came, thank you for everything. Don't forget us, always remember IIUM Angklung Club and we appreciate all the teachings you guys taught to us. Thank you so much.
For the Sciences students who will be going to Kuantan Campus next semester, also do not forget us. One day we will come to your place and open a new IAC there, you guys must participate. Do not waste your talent, ya!
Last, but not least, HAPPY FASTING!! Don't forget to perform tarawih and qiamullail. We will still have our training session, but it will be in the evening before breakfast, somewhere around 5 p.m until 6.30 p.m, ok?!
So, see ya there!!

p/s: Actually I was sooooo frustrated with that other 'musical group' mentioned just now. I cannot believe how blind and deaf they are. And they called themselves 'IIUM students'??!
How stupid. read more

Event: IIUM Ambang Merdeka '06
Date: 30 August 2006
Venue: Male's Sport Complex, IIUM
Playlists: Jalur Gemilang, Sejahtera Malaysia

August 30th 2006, IIUM- In about one hour before Malaysia celebrated the 49th Year of Independence, IAC performed two songs, Jalur Gemilang and Sejahtera Malaysia in IIUM Male's Sport Complex.
Days before, on August 26th IAC also had to perform at the riverside of CAC on the first day of IIUM Convocation Day to entertain the students' parents and relatives who were waiting their sons and daughters outside with the songs Puji-Pujian, I'tiraf and Enjit-Enjit Semut. On August 28th again IAC had to go to the Convest Hill and performed Enjit-Enjit Semut, medley of Song of Do Re Mi, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Happy Family and London Bridge and lastly, Edelwiess. Both had two similarities; we played Enjit-Enjit Semut and we had a very small numbers of audiences! So we played and had fun as well!!
And to be honest, for this Ambang Merdeka celebration, most of us had lost our energies for our last three consecutive performances. However, we should give some credits to ourselves who, no matter how tired we were, we still were committed to this last show of this month!
Say thanks to Abang Najib who were conducted us for tonight. And not to forget, Sarah who were our conductor at Convest Hill (26th August). Size is not the matter eh? Plus, to the new members of IAC, thank you so much for your participations, even though some of you had to sacrifice your time for angklung practices and exams. To the senior members, congatulations for bringing this club up to this level. 4 performances in one month, wow!! You guys should be proud!!
Don't worry, even though mistakes happened and we could not play Tanggal 31 because of lack of practice, but no one knows, right? Especially the audiences, most of them enjoyed our performance despite of the sounds was not clear enough for them to really listen to the sounds of angklungs. Even we the players could not hear well.
Nevertheless, the night was great. The countdown was cool and the fire crakers were da' bomb (even though some may said, 'they are burning our money!!! RM12,000, RM20,000!!!')
Not to forget, our beloved friend, Zaki who is going to leave this team. Tonight was his last participation and 'no more angklung after this', he said. Not only him, but at the end of this semester, we have to bid goodbye to A. Jay, Kak Wani, and A. Safwan as they are among Scieces students who have to move to Kuantan Campus. Thank you very much guys..Don't forget IAC and good luck in whatever you do!! Thank you so much for your commitments, we here really appreciate it. *sob sob*
Finally, from me, I would like to say 'Happy Holiday' and 'Happy Independence Day'. May our country will be blessed always with Allah's Grace, Insya Allah.

Event: Opening Ceremony IIUM Convest '06
Date: 24 August 2006
Venue: Convest Hill, IIUM
Playlists: Enjit-Enjit Semut, Joget Pahang

August 24th, 2006, IIUM- IAC yesterday had to perform only two songs, Enjit-Enjit Semut and Joget Pahang just for a few minutes, even though from what I heard, they requested the team to perform more songs since a band had to quit at the very last minute.
It was quite a cool night at Convest Hill. The opening started with some sort of drama on the stage with the terrorists and the saviors who save the day (even though it is wierd to see they wearing scout's uniform). And suddenly, it's our turn!! What's more, we did not say du'a before we went onto the stage! And that's the first time.
What else??
We had to stand on the stage for I think ten minutes because we were the second performer after the other band (not the band I mentioned earlier). Nonetheless, I think it was cool when I listened to the techno sound collaborated with that Australian didjeridu (don't know how to pronounce it).
After two long songs, then it's our turn. The stage is small and I don't understand until now why they did not bring the drumset down the stage?? Because we had to share the stage along with nasyid group and the techno band, so OBVIOUSLY the stage became small! And we lacked of microphones, so we cannot hear other sounds (because playing angklung needs one to listen to others so that he knows where to play and where not to play).
It was a struggling effort just to stand there for ten minutes and then play in about 5 minutes with a bit of change in our plan. But, from what I saw, the audience loved our Enjit-Enjit Semut.
And thanks for everyone who supported us, including some members of the New Team (to Zaki and friends, thank you for your help and comment!!) also to our friends who just came and see us. We really feel appreciated.
No comment for Joget Pahang. All I can say, it was a bit hectic when we did not play according to what we had practiced so it's quite understandable. And we could always improve after this. 3 more perfomances to go.
Phew, IAC is really popular nowadays, don't you think?? =)
