We have assignments due too :(
Tuesday, April 04, 2006
Sorry peepz for the lack in updates...midsems + assignments + lack of sleep = half-dead committee...but that doesn't mean we haven't been thinking about the club (man, I think some of us even dream about it. The only thing I dream about is August getting beaten up :P)
Meeting Report:
1. Had a committee meeting in my lovely mansion last Friday. It was supposed to be a potluck, but some no-skill lazy people cheated and brought pizza instead *frown* Then again, it's probably better than their cooking, so I think at the end of the day we can count ourselves blessed >:)
Some of the things we discussed were...uh...crap...*racks brain* oh! job delegation for Night Market. Yours Truly somehow got roped into being the emcee for the night (cover your ears, people, it ain't gonna be pretty. PLUS I have to wear a dress. And be shiveringly horribly cold. What colour should I wear? *bouncebounce*). No need to go into specifics, partly because I also can't remember who's doing what, but rest assured dear MoMU/ans/sans/lings/ians/etcetc that there will be enough people to cook your food and make your drinks and maybe even do a little joget for you if you ask nicely ;D
Secondy, decorations for our stall. I think we're calling it Gerai MoMU? But there's a deco competition and we could win $100 bucks if we have the best decorations, so we can't just leave it bare, even though that's what gerais are like! I tell you, it's damn annoying cos we spent pretty much 5 hours thinking of how to decorate the damn stall (it's just a table, how much can you do with it, especially when you're as broke as we are?) Finally, someone came up with the idea of using palm leaves, but uh...unless any of you know where we can get some free palm leaves, I doubt that's gonna work out. HEADACHE. Plus we've all got so much uni work to do! But we need that 100 bucks...anyone have any ideas?
We also talked about restructuring the committee, decided which posts we would create/remove and worked out a new committee structure which we hope will work well in the future...all you aspiring Mahatirs/Badawis, stay tuned la, we'll be keeping you guys up to date on when the elections are coming. Fingers crossed the Student Union hurries its ass up and just approves us already!
Okay, moving on: Recent Developments *tadah*
2. We are organizing paintball! Yes, on the first Saturday of Easter, 15th of April, come join MoMU as we trash Monash Caulfield on the paintball field! We're only gonna be charging $55, inclusive of equipment hire (mask, headgear, camo overalls, some high-tech thingy called a commando battle pack and latest semi-automatic gun which fires 7 rounds per second. Now all they need is to give us sniper guns too. CS!!! :p) , transport, lunch, drinks (the last time we went for paintball, they gave us lunch but no drinks...a bit the silly right...luckily for you all we care so much about you, bring free drinks summore ^^) . Now that's value for money. Me, Suvs, Erwin and August went on this same trip last year, minus drinks, for $65! With low tech guns summore. So that's why I never kena anything I aimed for. Hmmmm. In my opinion, this is probably the best paintball package you're gonna get out there, and places are limited, so QUICKKK. Come by our table with your $55 and register! Don't sit around in Melbourne this Easter when you could be out there fragging Monash :P
Disclaimer: Monash and Melbourne Uni's Malaysian Societies are on very friendly terms hor, don't get us wrong. But they started it! XD
3. I dunno if you've heard of them, but Envy Entertainment has the dubious honour of being our first proper sponsor! We have our own guest list over at Heist (corner Lonsdale and Queen St) so if you guys ever wanna go clubbing at a discount, please do support MoMU by supporting our sponsors. They have a weekly event at Heist every Friday, and you can get your discounted tickets every week through MoMU! Check out the e-flyer (which you've probably already had dumped into your mailbox if you live at Uropa/CS/Astorial :P)
Maybe you could get guestlist at Heist through your friends too, but think about it - every penny we earn, we use to organize more activities for you guys at cheaper prices. If you've been with our blog since the beginning (which wasn't too long ago...just scroll down :P) you'll know that we're pretty much bankrupt due to the fact we had to start over, and we can't get grants yet like other affiliated clubs can, so even though we're trying hard to do stuff cheap, it would be great to get support from you guys. Also, we get to show our sponsors that we're worth sponsoring :) If you're interested, just ask any one of us about guestlist or table bookings at our booth outside the Union House.
That's prolly about it for now. Other ideas are in the pipeline, but we need money to organize everything so DON'T FORGET to come support us in the Night Market! Cross your fingers guys, let's pray for some profit so we can all stop paying out of our own pockets and get more active ^^

Your lovely hardworking committee thoughtfully mulling over big important things. Bonus! Something in that pic is an item that we're gonna be selling the the night market! Anyone care to guess which it is?

You probably wouldn't believe it, but the girl in the picture is me. Honestly. I really look like that. It's just that when I go to uni I dress down so that other people not jealous. Really wan. Scout's honour.
