Review: NCG 2009

Hello,

Do you know what is NCG? NCG means National Conference Game. Basically, it is something like Sport Carnival. However, NCG is sport event which involve all Malaysian from all state of Australia like Victoria, Queensland, NSW and etc. Rather than competing at student group level, the sports will be competed among State. That's why there was NCG Try Out to select players to represent NSW. NCG will be held in different state every year and is it NSW's turn to hold NCG.

MSA also have contributed some players to represent NSW. There were people from MSA who played Badminton, Tennis, Squash and others. I can't remember them all.

There were almost or about 500 players for NCG including NSW players. Due to the large number of people and large number of sports played from soccer to swimming even water polo, NCG was a 3 day event from 8th July to 10th July 2009.

First day was basically, the registration of players and welcoming session which include a BBQ at UTS.As expected, well-talented MSA members were invited to performance traditional dance as the entertainment of the Welcoming BBQ.

The second and third days was all about sports. Many sports were played and many volunteers were there to help out. The "unique" or the no-so-expected things to happen was, many of the volunteers were from Macquarie Unversity. Again, MSA members made MSA very proud as they continue to support MSA events. thanks a lot (have to say it a thousand time).

On the night of the last day of NCG was Malaysian Night. Basically, it was a dinner event where everyone dressed very well for a dinner where the results of NSG was release. That was the time where all winners went up stage to receive their medals. Some of the Macquarie players won some medal from some spot categories like tennis double, badminton double and squash. Again, Congratulation to all winners especially Macquarians ( Forgive me if i did get the sport categories right. I'm not very good with them.).

Last but not least, NSW won NCG again this year making NSW winning 3 times in a row. I guess NSW attracts a lot of talented sportsman and sportswomen.

Here are some photos to share with you.

Review: CARNIVALE - Dance Party @ SPACE

Hi,

It's me again. here is the review for the dance party. I was having some problem getting good quality photo as the light in Space is very bad for photographing. You know lar. Club sure dark dark one!

Carnivale was the first dance party of the year 2009 which is also a joint event between 4 Malaysian student group from Sydney. They are MSO, MASA, SUAMS and of course MSA.

This dance party was at Space Night Club at Liverpool Street and entry to the dance party started at 10pm. As expected, not many people came around 10 pm. It was quite quiet in the club before 11pm. People start pouring into the club around 12pm and more and more better came in.

Th crow was getting really big around 1pm. Many people dance, drink and chat with friends and many people made new ones. The atmosphere was fanstastic and a bit noisy especially if this is the first time you entered a club.

Some people started to leave around 2 or 3am. Some even stay in the City until morning for breakfast. What an amazing night. I'm glad that many people had a lot of fun and joy. Most important. nothing realy "Bad" happen.

That's all i want to say about the dance party. There's another one coming soon for Semester 2 so do come and buy entry ticket from us.

Please contact anyone of us or visit us at the booth during Diversity Week.

Here're the contacts of our Social Directors. Contact them if you want to know more about the up-coming dance party or if you wish to buy the tickets.

Review: SSA & MSA Paintball

HI everyone!

I just got my hands on some paintball photos so here is the review of SSA & MSA Paintball.

The paintball was on the 2nd of May, 2009 at Rouse Hill. The event was a joint even between SSA (Singaporean Students Association) and MSA.

On that sunny Saturday, all the participants from MSA and SSA gathered at MUV bus stop to waiting for the pick-up bus. There were only around 8 people who went for paintball. The main reason behind such low turn out were the NCG Try Out was the same day as the paintball. Hence the low turn out but who cares as long as the people who went for paintball enjoy themselve.

Upon arrival at Rouse Hill, everyone has to take their attires (ie the army pattern suuit) and guns.Oop! Almost forgot. they have to take bullets as well. After collecting all the necessary equipments and items, everyone have to attend a short safety briefing. Always safety first, right!

Only after the short and not so interesting briefing, everyone went to the battle field and the war between teams started. After a few hours of shooting and being shooted, everyone went back with bruise, scars and dirty stains.

Everyone had a lot of fun playing paintball that day and that is what matters.
