It's official!

Hi IMU-rians!!!

We, the IMU Ball 2009 committee, are proud to announce the following!

Q: Why is the ticket price more expensive compared to the previous ball?
A: There are several reasons for this:

1. Our menu for the ball is going to be western food (which is more expensive than the usual chinese menu). Here's the menu once again:


2. Our venue is JW Marriott, Putrajaya which is a 5-star hotel. The previous ball wasn't held in a 5-star hotel thus it was cheaper.

3. We have to cover other expenses such as:

- the drink expenses for the cocktail party (before the ball begins officially),

- decoration

- emcee, lighting, PA, booklet, tickets, bus fees (free bus services for ticket holders)

(the full details of our expenses will be revealed end of this week)

In short, we ensure you that the RM 120 paid for the ball ticket will be worth every single cent =)


Q: Why Marriott Putrajaya?
A: We finalized to have the ball in Marriott Putrajaya because:

1. It's a 5-star hotel.

2. We didn't choose JW Marriott, KL or any other hotels in Kuala Lumpur because:

a) After meetings with several hotels, Marriott Putrajaya gave us the best deal.

- A larger ballroom which can accommodate up to 600 students

- Sufficient space for us to set up a dance floor! (Yes, we are going have a dance floor! So get ready for a night of entertainment!)

- A cheaper menu compared to other hotels. (JW Marriott KL only gave us a 3-course meal for the same price, while Marriott Putrajaya gave us a 5-course meal)

b) Traffic in the city area is usually congested (which may get annoying especially to those who are driving there.) And just in case you can't manage to find transportation to Putrajaya, fret not! We will be providing free transportation to the venue, in the form of buses!


Q: When can we get the tickets?
A: Be patient, we know you're excited! The tickets will only be on sale somewhere in February and March, so do grab them then!!!


Q: What's the dress code?
A: Officially it's something similar to "Red Carpet" but we accept anything, as long as the girls look pretty and the guys look dashing!!

p/s: We'll be sending out scouts on the day itself to identify the best dressed female and male of the night! So dress up! Who know it could be you on stage receiving a prize!
