Ice Breaking BBQ - Sem 2!

In true MSA tradition, an Ice Breaking + Welcoming BBQ was held last Saturday at the Hawthorn Central Gardens to welcome new and continuing Malaysian students for the new semester. It was a rather pleasant Saturday morning - cool and cloudy - when fellow Malaysians started to fill the BBQ pit area.

There were familiar faces and even more amongst them, new faces as everyone mingled over BBQ-ed sausages and wings, sandwiches, chips and drinks.

It wasn't long before it was time for games. VP Wilson ushered the crowd to the fields and led the group through a favourite childhood musical-chair-ish game loosely translated from Mandarin as When the wind blows.

Hilarity ensued as all of us scrambled around the circle at cue. Punishments were passed down at the slower of us which saw some of us literally tree-hugging and stripping down to singlets.

Then a name-memorising game followed where everyone struggled to recall self-introductions of name and place of origin. By the end of the game, names were effectively carved into the back of our heads.

All games were then wrapped up with the mandatory group photo session, with a proud Malaysian flag to boot!

And that's it, folks! Thank you all for coming! Watch this space for announcements, activities and re-caps!

MSA Presidency Handover

Time flies and before you know it, another semester has come to an end. For most of us, it's just the end of yet another semester; but for some, the end of university life as they graduate with pride, head-first into the job world.

Such is the case for our president, Kendrick Ng, as he is handing over presidency of MSA to Danny Lai, our incoming president for the next term. Needless to say, Kendrick has been exemplary in leading us throughout the semester, making numerous successful events possible with the help of an amazing committee.

The official handover was actually held on the 26th of May, witnessed by executive board members as Kendrick passed on leadership, briefing his successor Danny on the workings and responsibilities of MSA. The 1st committee board of Jan-June 2011 were also officially relieved, paving the way for a new committee board of July-Dec 2011 to be elected in due time.

If you're a continuing student, do look forward the new faces of the MSA committee as the new term approaches! If you think you've got what it takes to be part of an amazing team here at MSA, reach us!

Till then, happy holidays!
