HIMTI(Himpunan Mahasiswa Teknik Informatika) Togetherness and Top Performance, known as HTTP, is an event to welcome new School of Computer Science students every year. For HTTP 2016, it was held on Saturday, September 10th 2016 at BPPT II Building Auditorium 3rd floor, Central Jakarta. The theme for HTTP 2016 is Passion, Innovation, and Togetherness.

First we had a registration before we entered the Auditorium. After the registration finished, we entered the Auditorium and we watched Zootopia film until 9 a.m. The event began a few minutes after Zootopia ended. It started with a robot mascot performance for a few minutes and followed by a band performance named Peanut Butter, from BINUSIAN 2020.

Then there were speeches from Martin Arlando Teng (as the Head of HTTP 2016), Jonathan Gozali (as the President in HIMTI Kemanggisan), Rionaldo Aureri Linggautama (as the President in HIMTI Alam Sutera), and Fredy Purnomo, S.Kom, M.Kom (as the Dean in School of Computer Science BINUS University).

After all of the speeches ended, there was a video about the keys of success life, presented by Andreas Chang, MBA. , as the Vice Rector, Student Affairs and Community Development at BINUS University.

After that, there was a solo singer, performed by Adam (BINUSIAN 2018). After solo singer performance, there was a game, and after that we had a break (Ishoma) from 10:50 a.m. to 12:40 p.m.

After the break ended, the event started back with a talkshow. The talkshow speakers were the alumni of BINUS (if I’m not wrong, they’re BINUSIAN 2016, I don’t remember their names) who created an application that can detect someone’s personality by checking his/her tweets on Twitter.

After that, there was another game, and then continued by Visualization (a drama about HIMTi). Visualization was the most time-taking in HTTP 2016, but interesting.

After that, there was a second break time, approximately from 15:10 p.m. to 16:30 p.m. After the second break time ended, the event started back with revolution dance, and then continued with Vibing High (a band) that brought pop song.

After that, there was legalization for new School of Computer Science students, to wore their university jacket together. After the legalization, there was DJ performance. Many of the students were jumping, going around the center of Auditorium.

And that’s the end of HTTP 2016! We had a good time there.

FEP(Freshmen Enrichment Program) in BINUS University is a program to introduce about BINUS University’s life to all new students every year. There are three parts in FEP. The first one is General Orientation. The second one is Inaguration. The last one is Academic Orientation.

1. General Orientation

General Orientation is like student orientation in high school. I got my General Orientation in the fourth week on Kemanggisan, from 15 to 20 August 2016.

In the first day, we had a briefing for the next day. We introduced ourselves. We chose the leader of the class. We watched and listened to Mars Binus video. We praticed FEP 2020 dance for the last day in General Orientation.

In August 17 2016, we had a ceremony to celebrate Indonesia’s 71st Independence Day on BINUS Kijang. Besides ceremony, there were many competitions, eating a cracker (kerupuk) without holding it, tug of war, sack race, spoon race. It was fun, although i didn’t compete for competitions 😀

We got many information about BINUS. We watched “Bunga Rampai”, the performance of all student organizations in BINUS, on BINUS Anggrek auditorium. We made a song-and-dance (yel-yel) to be shown at 3rd floor hall BINUS Syahdan in the last day of General Orientation.

2. Inaguration

“An inauguration is a formal ceremony or special event to mark either:

-the beginning of a major public leader’s term of office.

-the opening or first public use of a new civic area, organisation or project. Such as a museum, hospital or film studio.

The term, in a less formla context, can also be used to be refer:

-to the beginning or introduction of a new system, policy, or period.

-the first, maiden or initial use of something. For example, a ship, railway or even computer service of some kind.” -Wikipedia

BINUS Inaguration was held on August 30 2016 in Jakarta Convention Center (JCC). I got the 2nd shift for Inaguration.

3. Academic Orientation

We got lessons on Academic Orientation. I like the auditorium class ’cause it has comfortable seats.
