Guests were treated to a delectable multi-course vegetarian meal, thoughtfully curated to enhance the evening’s experience. Throughout the night, the attendees enjoyed the lively banter between the two emcees. To kick-start the event, the guest-of-honour, Ven Kwang Phing, recited the puja and gave an opening speech before dinner is served. Thereafter were heartfelt speeches from the presidents of NTU Buddhist Society (NTUBS), Bro Emerson, NTU Buddhist Society Alumni (NTUBSA), Bro Toh Hong Seng, and Little Bodhi Student Care Centre’s (LBSCC) chairman, Dr Benny Wu, each reflecting on their organisation’s journey, achievements, and aspirations for the future.

Adding to the festive atmosphere, talented students from NTUBS and LBSCC showcased their artistic skills through engaging performances that captivated the audience. Their dedication and passion were evident, leaving a lasting impression on all present. There were also games and quizzes where the winners walked away with prizes.

The evening culminated in a symbolic cake-cutting ceremony, marking the milestones of the three organisations. This was followed by a grand mass photo-taking session, capturing the spirit of unity and celebration.

The event was a beautiful tribute to years of dedication and growth, reminding everyone of the importance of community, collaboration, and shared aspirations. Here’s to many more years of success for NTUBS, NTUBSA and LBSCC!
