SyukuRun 2011

26 December 2011 marks the day when NYPMSN successfully held its first ever Inter-Poly Amazing Race - SyukuRun 2011. The focus of this Amazing Race is to remind us that we should be grateful for who we are and what we have today. Alhamdulillah, many of our brothers and sisters from different polytechnics came down to join us and gave their fullest support for this event.

"I found the race enjoyable because I got to mingle around with brothers and sisters from
other polytechnics, which was something novel. It was a great way to bond and
form ukhwah together in such an event as we all made time despite being
students who are busy with schoolwork and projects. InsyaAllah we will work
together for future mass events. What I learnt from SyukuRun 2011 is that no
man is an island and life has little meaning if we have no ‘Saudara and
Saudari’ to guide us along a path towards Allah. We need to be surrounded by
like-minded people to prevent us from going astray, and insyaAllah that is the
key that leads to success in both dunia and akhirat."

"Alhamdulillah, it was an event worth remembering. Kudos to NYPMS in roping all the Muslim Society together in one event. SyukuRun covered all the P.I.E.S for the event such that there were ‘Physical’ activity (the running around), ‘Intellectual’(puzzles,quizzes), ‘Emotional’ (the walking on stones) and lastly ‘Spiritual’(Islamic questions and Sunnah practices). On top of that, the event has a specific objective which allowed the participants to experience how people with dyslexia face their daily challenges. The Islamic quizzes really make us review back what we have been taught as sometimes we just take for granted things that we might have already known or not know at all! Lastly, looking forward to meet the fellow' brothers and sisters from other Muslim Society again, Insya’Allah =)

"Alhamdulillah. I was really excited for what is in store for us when NYPMSN broke the news of the SyukuRun. It itself was a great platform for interaction between different tertiary MS members, strengthening the ukhwah and spending some fun time together. This event which was able to attract large number of NPMSS members showed that we have a common desire to establish this ukhwatufillah among our brothers and sisters of different institutions. Even some of our alumnis wanted to join in! This event also has opened our eyes to enable us to be thankful with the gifts that Allah have bestowed upon us. From the bottom of my heart I would like to thank the organizing committee for putting in alot of effort in coming up with this event.

The event was laid out quite neatly. I came bit late but nonetheless, the members of NPMSS made their own ta`aruf session before the event starts. The stations were spread out widely around the area. Even though some thought that it was too big of an area, I feel that we made full use of the time walking by interacting with each other. The structure of the activities were very interesting. From puzzles, to sensory trails, I really enjoyed the activities throughout the event. One of the most memorable part was the part when we had to climb up flights of stairs to get questions that needed to be answered. The wide range of questions regarding the Quran really showed me how much we dont know or have forgotten about our Quran. We need to cherish our knowledge, the gifts that Allah have bestowed upon us, the companionship that we have by giving back to the society.,

Alhamdulillah wa Syukrulillah. InsyaAllah this event will spark more of its kind from other tertiary institutions. May these bonds of faith be strengthened, may our hope for a greater, stronger and better Ummah comes alive through events that unites us and may we walk in this path of mardhatillah as one Ummah here and insyaAllah in the hereafter."

"I shall congratulate NYPMSN for
the recent successful event, SyukRun. Marha! Marha! No doubt, I enjoyed the
unique event that also allows ukhwah bonding between different Poly MS-es.
Also, I learnt few Islamic values through the fun and engaging games.
To sum it up, I am very pleased to be part of the fun yet memorable event and
would be glad to be part of such events again, inshaAllah. "

Alhamdulillah, with new friendships and bond built, we hope that this ukhuwwah will continue. NYPMSN would like to thank every single person who made this event a success, from the organizers, to the facis, and of course, the participants. Hope to see all of you in another Inter-Poly event soon insya Allah! :D
