Before I start sharing my experiences in this year’s HTTP, let me explain briefly what this year’s theme is.
If you read the title then you probably know it already, but for those who are too lazy to read it, it’ shortened to SHINE. That’s about it I guess, I don’t want to go to details ’cause you can read about it in their website www.himti.org Now back to the main topic, what are my first thoughts about HIMTI? Well to start off, I’m not too keen about the event, it just doesn’t get too me. However, they keep telling me that it’s a 1-chance offer. So yeah, why not (lol).
Let’s skip the minor details and head on to the event itself.
We were asked to meet in BINUS Anggrek’s administration office early in the morning. Well of course, I don’t want to be late for the bus so my friend and I arrived there 30 minutes before the meet-up time. We waited for about 10 minutes and then 2-3 buses arrived. Both us head on to the committee and they did something to the ticket. After that, we waited in the bus. Long story short, we arrived at the place.
After arriving, we fill-out our NIM in the laptops and then there’s this area where we can try games made by BINUSIANs. It’s a shame though, I wanted to try all of them but the committee asked us to enter the auditorium. I thought that the event was going to start, but turns out we ended up watching Big Hero 6 lol. 1-2 hours passed and then *drum rolls* the event finally started. After the tremendously long speeches, we got a chance to see all our head of faculties which is cool because the slide shows who are the important people in your faculties 🙂 After that… I didn’t quiet remember, I think there were games
which fails to attract the crowd in joining the game. And then… we had lunch, or to be more precise snacks, cause the food they gave us didn’t even fill half of my stomach (lol). Aside from that, I got free Bear Brand milk. Moving to the future, we got a chance to meet 2 technopreneur BINUSIAN which is quite motivating. Moving to the last moments of the event, there were bands and doorprizes which of course I didn’t win. Then we had a music party or to be more precise, a rave. When we were having the rave, all I was thinking was “Where are all the important people? Are they joining us in this rave?”.
After the event ended, we were given goodie bags which contain some merchandises and a free t-shirt, which is probably the best part of the event :p
That’s about it I guess, I only share what I remember the most. I’m sorry if my blog offended anyone from HIMTI or anywhere. My advice & critic for the next HTTP : better food, faster services, cooler performance, less boring visualisation and more creative flash mob
