Life on The Leaf: PIKOM PC FAIR 2009@UUM

First time ever PIKOM PC Fair held in public university
(i think so), fortunately that is our lovely University Utara Malaysia (UUM). Today actually is the second day, i actually did not realized this event is going back ON, since it was cancel due to “H1N1 Holiday” last week.

This event is collaboration between UUM and PIKOM. Eventually, the project is under the organization of Student Resident Hall Yayasan Al-Bukahry aka DPP YAB (if not mistaken…). It should be a grand event, but it doesn’t happening as i expect… May be this caused by 3 reasons:

H1N1
As UUM is just reopen back for student after one week holiday. Student might not so ‘willingly’ gathering for such events. Yet, during my visit to Dewan Mu'adzam Shah (where PC Fair took place) quite many students at there as today is SDG (no class).
Bad Economy
Since these year economy not very good. not much booth and company dare to try their fate in such rural place as ulu Sintok. Other hand, student also would think twice to spend their money.
Not the First
Unfortunately, this PC Fair is not so “fresh”. Last month, there was another ICT fair held at the compound of Varsity Mall organized by CeDI UUM (Institut Pembangunan Keusahawanan dan Koperasi). Since that was the First PC fair in UUM, new student would be happy and anxiously spending money on the gadget like : laptop, cooler pad, mouse, digital camera, even mobile phone…
