Hope you guys are enjoying your time there ya? n bring something back for me! haha..no seriously, ENJOY your time!!..n bring something back for me ;P

Things in sydney are below par after Cohort 2 TESLians left us leaving me, and few others dying of boredom..Most of us are working and we do spend time together having dinner, shisha-ing courtesy of our man Rickman and Mr President :P, occasional futsal, playing Diren's playstation, pool session with Azan, Rickman and Ben and more shisha! Oh life is so good here man <--read this in african accent..As for the girls, I guess all they do is sleeping working..But according to Shafiqah, that's not all! They seem to enjoy cooking and shaping up for summer, she said (oh yeah?;p)..Rumour has it that they went to the gym only to buy Snickers at the vending machine..but I did bump into Lisa and Amnah when they was on their way to the gym the other day tho...with coins in their hands..

At the time I'm writing this post, Sunny is playing FIFA Manager 08 which Seng Chee "bought" him, Diren is cleaning his toilet, Reez is in his room and Ain busy with her family..

We DO enjoy our time here in Sydney you see..really..no kidding, i tell you..

Evidence of fun:

Silly guy, Kay, Diren and Reez having dinner at Cafe Kasturi (one of our sponsors so holla for discount!)..we ordered money bags and satay as entrees, red curry duck, sambal udang and chap chai which are all SUPERB!!1!one...for those who haven't tried the food there please try and it's Halal..check their website from the link in our website! ;P

This is a picture of Diren from our warming up session while waiting for Kay and Reez at Star Bar on George St.(definitely not our sponsor so don't ask for discount! :P)

Review - Gear-up and Fill-up BBQ II!

‘Twas a gloomy day. Dark clouds hovered over MQ Uni’s grounds, threatening to rain. Perhaps the grey skies were reflecting the somber mood of students bound to go through the agony of exams in the coming week.

However, at SAM Bar, the atmosphere was less depressing. =) The fragrant smell of sausages and onions on the BBQ pit filled the air, and a bunch of people were talking and laughing, just chillin’ after class before heading back to continue studying (or mugging, in my case, that is =P).

Yes, you’ve guessed it right. It was MSA’s Gear-Up and Fill-Up BBQ II, held on this week, Monday 5th October 2007. It started at 2 pm, and the crowd kept streaming in till past 3 pm since everyone finished classes at different times. The event was an Aussie-style sausage sizzle, which meant bread slapped on with a couple of sausages and some onions, topped off with BBQ sauce and ketchup. Oh, and some potato chips as finger food too.

The turnout was not bad, not too big but not too small either, so there was sufficient food for everyone! Yay! Thus, 150 sausages, few loaves of bread and packets of chips later, everyone went back with full stomachs, recharged and ready to take on their pile of books again.

Thanks to those who turned up for the BBQ. Hope you guys and girls had fun and managed to unwind (at least) a little! =) Too much stress buildup is not good for the soul, yo!

Also, special thanks goes out to guests who came from other unis, namely Amanda from MSO (UNSW) and Jenny and Pek Lynn from MASA (UTS). Thank you so much for making the trip to Macquarie Uni!

So I guess that wraps up MSA’s activities for the year 2007. Hope you all had an amazing year! All the best in your coming exams! And don’t forget to keep an eye out for activities MSA has planned for 2008. See ya!

Review - Annual Dinner and Dance (ADND) 2007

Gosh, it took me a while but finally, here it is! Sorry for the delay, Qawiem.

What?! Where is the IT nerd you ask? No worries, chill chill, he hasn’t gone anywhere. I’m writing this review as he couldn’t attend the ADND due to some unforeseen circumstances. So, here it is!

Review – Annual Dinner and Dance (ADND) 2007

For those of you who do not know, the Annual Dinner and Dance (ADND) is an event jointly held by the Malaysian Students’ Societies of the four main universities in Sydney, namely MSA (Macquarie University), MSO (UNSW), SUAMS (University of Sydney) and MASA (UTS). This year’s ADND was held on the 5th of October 2007 at the Menzies Hotel on Carrington Street. Themed “Kayangan”, ADND set out to create a “heaven on earth” that night. How did it go? Read on to find out...
On that particular Friday night, everyone who attended the function dressed to the nines - guys in suits, girls in evening dresses. Hence, this allowed for a lot of photo-taking moments before and after the event (yes lah, how often do you get everyone in the room dressed so nicely eh? =D) Guests even had souvenir pictures taken using a Polaroid camera (so old school!).

The event officially started at about 8pm. Stepping into the function room, we were greeted with tables lined with white tablecloths, with flickering candles and flowers and as centerpieces, all in line to create a paradise-like atmosphere in the room. In all honesty, food that night wasn’t really great (the best was dessert I would say), but I guess it was the company that mattered.
From the entertainment side, there were band performances and a number of dances. And of course, there were lucky draws. Among prizes included were restaurant and Famous Amos vouchers, headsets, and even 3-month supplies of 100Plus. The biggest winners from MSA that night had to be our Sports Directors. Current Sports Director, Zyerila, went home with a spanking new mobile phone, while Sports Director 06/07, Jonathan, landed himself return tickets to Malaysia. Lucky fellas, eh? Our current “All Natural” President Galven Chia got his share of the limelight as well when he was nominated for some kinda ‘award’. (Details shall not be reveal here, though – I hope don’t get killed for this =P)
The night ended with the announcement of the new committees for the respective clubs from each university. From MSA, Tun Shim, President 06/07, introduced the new committee and hence everyone in the room had a glimpse of who the MSA committee newbies were.
Apart from a few technical problems with the audio-visual equipment and difficulties in figuring out which fork to use for which course (or perhaps it’s just me, haha), all in all, ADND 2007 was a fun outing and a great way to ‘pass on the torch’ in style.
Here’s where us newbies would like to take our hats off the MSA Committee 06/07 for doing a great job. We have big shoes to fill, but we’ll try our best.

So, to all members out there, do watch out for what MSA has in store for the remains of 2007 and the coming new semester!

Gear-up and Fill-up BBQ II!

hii everyone!!

Before you start to lock yourself in your room, wearing ugly betty's glasses and being nerdy, consider spending your next monday afternoon without spending any money with us at SAM Bar from 2 to 4pm, chatting while eating sausagessssss(this explains the no. of sausages available) and of course, have a fun day before exams!

Fuhhh, I managed to put everything in a sentence!;P
