15th May 2007, Tuesday-29 members of IAC had performed for International Conference of Islamic Economy Management at the top of Kuala Lumpur Tower. Some of the audiences were YB Tan Sri Sanusi Junid and IIUM Rector. Not forgetting IIUM Gamelan Group and Zapin team also joined the night's event.
Nothing much had happened for the night's show, except the songs that IAC group had to play were reduced form 10 songs into 5 songs because the group were given only 15 minutes to perform.
About the performance, IAC group played very well, especially for the new song, Rindu Bayangan. The audiences; almost of them were veterans and late adults were happy with the song. And also the international audiences were mesmerized with the sounds of bamboos and their feedback was very good.
All in all, despite of the disappointment of the numbers of songs that the group had played, at least the audiences enjoyed the performance, and that should give IAC team one good credit for their effort for the night's show.

13th May 2007, Sunday - Alongside with Caring Club, IIUM Angklung Club, together hand in hand joined a Community Service program at Rumah Kanak-Kanak Tengku Budriah, Cheras.
In this program, IAC team not only had to play songs to the children, but also helped the committees playing along with them. Divided into 3 groups; babies, toddlers and primary, many were not sure what to do at first. However, after some help from Caring Club commitees, they got along and starting to understand that the children are not the same as those outside the house.
It started at +9.00 a.m, the three groups went to each places and observed the children and babies, played along and helped them with their studies and education. The primaries, aged 7 until 12, played games on mathematics, with the commitees being their teachers.
IAC team performed for the enthusiastic children at +4.00 p.m. Playing songs like Enjit-Enjit Semut, Sejahtera Malaysia, Rasa Sayang and three medleys, the children did sing along. Our keyboardist, Fairuz also was requested to play some songs for them to sing, like Oh Ibu, Ya Rasulullah and Pencinta Wanita. Even though the team were threw down by some naughty audiences but they kept playing on the stage.
The program ended at 4.45 p.m, and after the children were given some small gifts everyone went back to IIUM. All in all, it was a good new experience, and it reminds us that we are so lucky to have such a beautiful family that love and care for us all the way.
