UTM GAMES 2019
On 15-22 November 2019, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) was organizing a
sport event that known and called as UTM games. In this UTM games there’s a lot of games
that has been conducted and the venue for each games its depends on the games itself. For
example, volley ball, badminton and takraw was played at the Sport Hall. Street soccer,
Frisbee, and Futsal at Stadium Azman Hashim and so on. This UTM games started with the
fun run in the early morning and this run made all of the student from all colleges to gather
together that makes this programme become more happening with the mascot appearance.
UTM was organizing this event almost every year to maintain the tradition of the sport and to
create the engagement with all of the senior and junior students by contributing into this
annual event. There were many of activities that have been conducted including games, the
procession based on college with mascot, silat and so on.This UTM games also has a purpose
that is to find and select the talented player and bring them to another level of sport such as
“SukIpt” and “Masum”.
The event was launched and closed by UTM Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Prof.Dr.
Durrishah Bte Idrus at the Stadium Azman Hashim by having a representative for each
college in marching.The organizer also take a marks in marching from each college that will
have an award for the best in marching .The games session started on the Friday morning
around 8.30 AM with the volley ball and takraw games and its follow for the others games
for the next day such as petanque. This event was so happening because of the cheers team `s
appearance and many students take a part for this annual sport event. All of them looks very
energize to play and win the games. Next, for my part I have received a task 1 month from
the organizer before the event was held. For example I have got a task to design a banner,
flyers, bunting, brochure, and the countdown picture for every days until the event be held to
create the awareness for this event to the others student . During the event days, I also got a
task to make an Instagram story, instagram live and to post the photos of the event in the
Instagram platform. This updating news will help the others student that has come or not
come yet to the sports venue to receive the new update for every moment of this games and
event.
This UTM games event make me feel very excited because this is the first time they
organized since I started study in this UTM Skudai and this event actually being held in the
early of the semester because this time student not have so much work yet and they will feel
free to join.I feel more excited when my application to be the part of multimedia crew is
approved by looking to the criteria needed and experience that I have before this. I can see
from this grand event that it is very happening because lots of students from different college
was taking part in every single games include the foreigner student. So, actually from the
normal day with a class, meeting, discussion and so on, we can see there`s infrequent of
student that involve their self to spent their leisure time to play for the certain games that’s
they like in the evening or weekend. From this, we can conclude that actually lots of student
has interest and they are talented in some sports but maybe they are lack of time due to the so
much homework , assignment, project that has blocking their time to play and polish their
skills. Other than that, this UTM games is a great event for the student to show and highlight
their talent to the organizer and from this event they will know their limit that actually they
can move to another level in sport. For example, there’s several of successful Malaysian
athlete was born and well trained that comes from UTM Skudai, and this athlete is selected
from the UTM games itself such as Nur Azilah, Pow Mei Foong, Nur Fariha Abdul
Razak.All of them is Malaysian netball player which is student that comes from UTM
Skudai.For the indoor sport such as silat and judo, UTM also has the representatives that’s
going to the Malaysian level such as “SUKMA” and SEA games 2015.For silat, UTM has
Muhammad Faizul and for Judo UTM has Nik Norlydiawati Nik Azman.All of this athletes
has bring the UTM name to the Malaysian level.From this result, we know that even they are
student, there`s no problem for them to involve and contribute their skills for our country
sports. By making this UTM games programme in every year, maybe UTM will produce
more athletes that can go further in every type of sports that can bring UTM names into the
global.
As a multimedia crew, the task that I had received from the head of crew is very
related to my course which is Multimedia and Graphic Software, and I have an experience
during my internship and working. After I graduate from Diploma, I worked in one of
printing company that known as “Dr Cetak ”.My position in this company as a designer and
sales team, from this job scope I have designed so many type or marketing content for the
company`s customer such as banner, bunting, flyers, and brochure, so as a designer for this
UTM games event is not very difficult for me to handle and finish it on time because I can
reduce the time in designing by implementing my skills and by the experience that I have.
This type of task also will give a benefit for me to polish my creativity and idea in designing
a marketing content and gain more experience by working in the new environment, new team
and new objective. This new experience also can give an advantage to me that I can add in
my resume and cv after i graduate from this UTM that I can use to apply a job that related to
my course which is Science Computer ( Multimedia & Graphic Software). From this
multimedia crew that I joined, I also have polish my team working skill since I have to work
in team to settle up every task for this event.
From this UTM games, the most important aspect that I have learnt is from this
multimedia crew because working in team can polish my team working skill since I have to
work in team to settle up every task for this event. Working in team give me a lot of benefit
compare to working alone because work in team we can learn something new and do the
work faster. For example, if we do something or lack of knowledge in certain parts, our
teammate that master in that parts will help us to overcome an solve the problem and we can
learn from it more faster than explore by our self. In team, cooperation is the most important
aspect we should apply in our self because cooperation will help us to communicate well in
doing some task to make it easier to finish on time. Moreover, working in team can improve
our discipline by managing the time well because any task that we received sometimes its
related to the others team member. For example, the task that require us to finish first before
we pass to others team members, so if we late submit it will effects the other people
submission too and it maybe effect the emotional feelings of each team members that lead to
uncomfortable working environment.
In the future, if UTM or any organizer organize any kinds of events that will attract
my interest to take a part I will not miss that opportunity and I will join again the event and to
keep improving myself skills to be better designers by helpings others people such as team,
player and organizer to make that event running clearly by making the advertisement become
more happening co pare to before. By joining for the next events it also will help me to gain
more knowledge in multimedia field such as new software, new skills, new features and so
on. Other than that, by joining others event I also can polish more for my soft skills such as
team working, time management, leadership and so on. Actually, during our study there’s a
lot of programme or events that has been organize by some of clubs in the university that will
give a benefit and advantage to us by joining it that will helps us in the future purpose. For
example in organize the activity or to apply a job. I will apply all of my experience and
knowledge if my application is approve in some of the company and I will helps the company
to improve their working efficiency.
