HTTP 2015: SHINE
HTTP is an abbreviation of “HIMTI Togetherness and Top Performances”. This is an event held by HIMTI (“Himpunan Mahasiswa Teknik Informatika”) of Binus University. This year’s HTTP’s theme is SHINE which stands for “Strengthening Harmony and Inspiring New Experiences” and was held on the 12th of September from 9 AM to 5 PM. This event was organized to specifically welcome new Binusians of SoCS, School of Computer Science. There are 1200 of us, Binusian 2019 of SoCS from both Binus University Kemanggisan and Alam Sutera, in total.
I took the first shift for the bus and arrived at the venue, BPPT Building, at around 7 in the morning, which was 2 hours before the event actually starts. We entered the hall and the movie “Mr. Peabody and Sherman” was being played on the giant screen and were given the privilege to watch the movie or to have our breakfast.
When the clock strikes 9 o’clock, the HTTP event was started and was opened with a performance by the winner of HIMTI Got Talent of the previous year. He sang as he played chords on his guitar. It was an outstanding performance. Then, it was followed with a series of agenda. We heard various speeches from the head of HTTP event, the head of HIMTI Kemanggisan, the head of HIMTI Alam Sutera, the head of SCDC, and the Dean of SoCS of Binus University, who also introduced our lecturers.
Other than the official inauguration of new SoCS students, there were lots of performances from different performers; HIMTI Band, HIMTI Visualization, guest star Rianti Duke and Teddy Aditya, and also from guest DJs. There was also a talk show about Technopreneurship featuring students and alumnus of HIMTI who succeeded in entrepreneurship by using technology to facilitate it. Other than that, there were also games and door prize giveaways.
In conclusion, HTTP 2015: SHINE was awesome and was an out-of-this-world event. I have no regrets whatsoever in being a part of it.
Thank you, HIMTI.
One Family, One Goal!
