Biennial Intervarsity Games XXV 2012

Biennial Intervarsity Games XXV 2012 (BIG)  

             The games officially started in 1951 as a biennial event, Biennial Intervarsity Games (BIG), after a number of exchanges between Singapore and Hong Kong Universities. With the separation of Universiti Malaya from the then Singapore University, the games included 3 universities and over the years, more universities expressed interest. This biennial event became triennial in 1982 to allow universities time to prepare and raise thenecessary funds. TIG was discontinued for almost 10 years after it was last hosted by NUS in 1997,due to the lack of resources and financial support. The 24th TIG was successfully revived in Singapore in July 2009. A total of six universities participated in this event. They are Hong Kong University (HKU), National University of Singapore(NUS), Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), University of Macau, Fudan University and University of Indonesia.

There will be football match at GOR Soemantri, Badminton match at the UI Gymnasium, table tennis match at UI Balairung, tennis match at UI tennis court, basketball match at the UI Balairung, swimming match at Hotel Bumi Wiyata, and athletics at Madya Stadion.

       I will be singing the National Anthem of Indonesia and the BIG theme song with the other new students on the opening ceremony of the Biennal Intervarsity Games XXV 2012. 


        So this is the lyric of BIG theme song 2012 :


  Let us march on to the field, with loyal hearts and sportsmanship

    For the honour of our unions, and to foster true friendships

      Now raise our voices loudly and clearly, cheering in this our happy song

         The glory of sports we'll cherish dearly, singing as we march along 


   in Indonesian :


Mari kita berbaris ke lapangan, dengan hati yang setia dan sportif
 
Untuk menghormati serikat kita, dan untuk menumbuhkan persahabatan sejati
 
Sekarang kita mengangkat suara keras dan jelas, bersorak dalam lagu gembira kami
 
Kemuliaan olahraga kita akan menghargai,bernyanyi seperti kita berbaris bersama


   so, for the participants of BIG 2012, I welcome you to Indonesia
