The Spring Beach Picnic is Here!
Monday, September 25, 2006
You can feel it in the wind. The fun and warmth is all around.
The mid-semester holidays and spring have arrived.
No more freezing cold mornings or windy afternoons. Yay!
Also ... more girls in miniskirts and single layer t-shirts. *wink wink*

"mmmm....miniskirts and single layer t-shirts..."
"lol momu... been to to your functions... my impression? a bunch of enge students ganged up to party while giving no significant contributions nor support to the malaysian students in melb uni in in-campus concerns. u guys heard of 'the stellars'? u might as well just be 'the league of wannabe enge students'. really. look at the victoria-wide malaysian community (can't recall its name), vs momu. what exactly have u guys done other than partying? i do party alot but hey that doesn't happen under the name of some msian-rep union. btw, from what i heard about how the commitee was formed via some dodgy oh-i-just-turned-up-now-let's-gang-up-and-vote-for-me, can't blame ya. take this however you see it, but think about it. and the website! just a blogger? biggest joke i've ever seen, of a bunch of malaysians, here in melbourne. but oh well... i wish you all the best momu"
"and if yer FREAKIN REPRESENTING MALAYSIANS, what's that bloody perverted miniskirts and single layer t shirts thing? what? "damn nice right"? i am so thoroughly humiliated i'd really be better off if no one knew this damned 'Malaysians of Melbourne University' existed. freakin disgusts me. and sounds like it's just a congregation of bananas."
"good morning people...guess its just the time of the month where everything gets red and bloody...
anyway in all seriousness who cares about the name?? malaysi-what?? me represent malaysia...me superior..me EMO!!
been to the functions?? dont like it?? dont go...el problemo el solvo! its your choice and if you are smart enough to be dragged in, too bad for u :)
heard about the committee?? well i guess thats not good enough...i heard that ur somewhat homo...can it be true?? fruitcake.
people here are just to have fun and if you dont wanna be a malaysian...change your citizenship or something...quite easily done IF you are qualified and there goes your association with everyone :)
ps. banana's are hell pricy now...can you afford them? ;)"
"and if yer FREAKIN WANNA GIVE SUPPORT TO THE MALAYSIAN STUDENTS IN MELB UNI, do something bout it? what? nothing? figures. me whine me whine me whine. freakin disgusts me. take this however you see it, but think about it. but oh well... i wish you all the best anonymous"
"Sheesh, so what if the club haven't really lived up to your expectations? What ARE your expectations? Its only been alive for what, 3 months? or slightly more? What kind of grand scheme do you expect? Not all clubs have to start with dour agendas and grim proclamations or cheesy projects for future generation-ish schemes.
Momu has been informing its members about events that are relevant to them as Malaysians and International students, such as the Raja Muda Perak reception, as well as meeting the minister of higher education from Malaysia.
I had the impression that this club was formed mainly so that Malaysian students have a common banner to flock under when having events or socialising, so that we have a better awareness of our fellow malaysians around the campus. I have to say, in this aspect it has succeeded admiringly. Thanks to MoMU i now know about 15 to 20 more people i am proud to call friends.
BTW, its MASCA. For someone who places such high importance in proper malaysian representation, you should know the name of the organisation that is the umbrella body of all malaysian students clubs in Australia. So can you please take that holier-than-thou attitude, and stick it where the sun doesn't shine? Preferably up your own anal opening. Thanks."
"now now...2v1 isnt very fair ey mate? so cut that person, he/she some slack...and gosh, the language...tsk tsk.
BTW, sun DOES shine if you point it in the right direction. Thanks."
"Not if you shove it far up enough *grins*
2 v 1 isn't fair, but coming up to an entity with unfair expectations will garner you some unfair responces, no?
2 v 1, unfair yes, unreasonable no. Chivalry is overrated."
"Hello to the 2nd and 3rd anonymous (I'm sorry but no real names were given so I can't address you properly).
As a committee member (and activites director to be exact), I have participated in organizing many of the events. Indeed we have organized many social events but as we are a just established, we thought we would give the members and it's founders (mostly current committee members) a chance to know each other and make friends.
Merdeka night was definitely a different way of celebrating merdeka but we have catered for the non-clubbing crowd by incorporating trivia on Malaysian culture and history. to be continued..."
"cont ... In fact we had alot of other games that night but the crowd wanted to start grooving to the music. Plus they sang Tanggal 31 which made me really surprise.
I'm sorry if the club have gave such an impression on you. But being a fresh organization with 0 bank balance, we can now afford to buy bananas and fry goreng pisang for all our members.And that meaning that we can organize better activities and even subsidising them.
Regarding the dodgy committee, they helped out voluntarily and have gained respect as well as trust from each other. Through that the members are confident who they are voting for.
And the miniskirts and single layer t-shirts. I wrote that post and I'm a girl. I am very aware on what I'm talking about and well, I just didn't expect anyone to be disturbed by it as I'm pretty sure that everyone have joked about ideas worst than that. Sexual imagery have been used widely in today's media industry and I believe that most of us find it normal.
Thank you for your feedback both Anonymous 1 and Anonymous 2.It was very much appreciated."
"Oh one more thing I forgot tp add.
The "damn nice right" is actually pointing out to how nice the club is to escort you to St.Kilda Craft market and not that you have the chance to see girls in miniskirts and single layer t-shirts.
Thinking about it, all girls wear single layer t-shirts in Malaysia don't they?"
"Gosh.. This is gonna be fun.. But before I continue, I must thank Shou Farn for his efforts.. Really. Oh and to the other mr./ms. anonymous..
So I hear mr. anonymous has been to our functions. Thanks for your support man. Really great to have you there.
What?
"what exactly have u guys done other than partying? i do party alot but hey that doesn't happen under the name of some msian-rep union."
Oh no.. He said we're all for partying.. By the way, I was awoken and asked to read this.. I was all day in the library studying and fell asleep right after dinner. Is all this partying in the library just fantastic or what? Don't really know about the rest of the MoMU comm, but I'm pretty sure I had fun partying in the library.. Hey, I'm going partying again tomorrow at the library.. Anyone care to join me? You could dress up as a librarian :P
And the website? Just a blogger? Oh man.. Wait till all the other malaysian societies see you say that. You'd break their tender little hearts. Just as you did mine. Ah you wish.. Mine's not that tender after all.
Anyway, he wishes us all the best. And we can't turn down something good. So we thank you for your kind wishes and all the best to you too mr. anonymous. *Gah what's with all this anonymity? Now I can't thank him personally using his name T_T"
Sigh.. This is a waste of time.. Gonna go off to sleep now.. Can't believe you actually have the time to hate us.. As for that dodgy oh-i-just-turned-up-now-let's-gang-up-and-vote-for-me post, well most of it is not true. Hey, I guess you know that already since you said that it is dodgy yourself..
Thanks for your support.. Hope to see you at our events more often :P"
"T_T Su Ann!! Why are you so quick at replying? Now I'm far below *Sobs*
Now that's someone who can break my tender little heart.. :P"
"take this however you see it, but think about it. and the website! just a blogger? biggest joke i've ever seen, of a bunch of malaysians, here in melbourne. but oh well... i wish you all the best momu
Hi. I'm not a member of MoMU, nor do I live in Melbourne or Australia for that matter. I'm posting because I disagree with you, that blogs would a bad medium in which a club of this "caliber" would use to reach their members. What's wrong with using Blogger?
In case you've been living under a rock for the past, oh I don't know, 5 to 10 years, blogs have become extremely powerful tools for content publishing. For one, you have an entire content publishing system, along with comment posting, formatting, multi user limitation and access and archiving tools available at your disposal in just a few minutes of registration. Blogs registered under blogger are automatically provided with a relatively simple, easy-to-remember URL and RSS feeds (for every post, so go crazy with your live bookmarks) for absolutely no cost.
What's that? A site of this caliber must have a proper, expensive, professionally designed site with an extensive graphical interface and Flash objects? I don't know, but these sites (that are visited by thousands, if not millions of people a day) disagree with you: This Week In Tech, Joystiq, Slashdot, Engadget. All it takes is a little customization (in terms of user interface) for a site to look "professional" (The sites above are essentially blogs with a souped up interface), and sure this site would benefit from a professional design treatment, but hey, it's totally optional. The blog gets its job done as it is. Maybe you just have a problem with Blogger?"
"Oh, and continuing from the post above, ever heard of Drupal? It's an extremely powerful content posting system (Read: blogs). Here's an excerpt from their site:
"Equipped with a powerful blend of features, Drupal can support a variety of websites ranging from personal weblogs to large community-driven websites."
Holy shit! A content management system for personal weblogs being used for large community-driven websites? Heretical!"
"wow we have our first official flamer XD let me address his concerns in an orderly fashion:
by "enge students" did u mean engineering? because last i checked our members and even our committee are from a diverse range of faculties.
our IGM was conducted in a democratic fashion... so how was it dodgy? most of the leaders of the world are elected the same way - perhaps next time we'll jsut pick names our of a hat?
as erwin said, go google for malaysian student organisations in other universities around oz, or even the world. blogs enable us to engage and entertain readers more as well as make the workings of this society transparent for all to see.
committee being homo? our sexual preference is none of ur business!
dearest anonymous, just to let u know we inform all members of internship and job oppurtunities back home. also we are going to have an orientation week next yr to assist new msian students here to adapt to life in melb, even having a mentor system of sorts. perhaps thats not enough, maybe we need to cook all ur meals and change ur diapers before we are fully taking care of ur welfare?
if u do really want to make a difference, come chat with anyone of our committee members directly, we do welcome and appreciate feedback. or perhaps co-opt into the committee... unless ur afraid to label urself as a homo banana fruitcake."
"mmmm...homo banana fruitcake...sounds yummy...maybe not.
on the other hand, starting by cooking my meals would be nice...diapers i've grown outa them so you are a tad bit late...but yeah, that'll serve my welfare alot better :)"
"that i posted my comments on anonymity has certainly enabled some to reply using the same name. but look, here is my one and last reply. i would only like to take back on what i said regarding blogger. apologies, but all else said i reckon remains. dunno how u guys got the impression that i'm homo, but then again, this is all just my view of the past, didn't mean to flame any rage here, and lastly and sincerely, good luck guys. didn't write all these to say u guys suck and should so, instead just hope to see more in the future. and no, i'm proud to be a malaysian. wasn't having any great plans to change my citizenship. if i wasn't proud to be one, i wouldn't even bother writing. cheers."
"Right now, I really don't know what you want. First you say that we were enge students busy partying and now, you say that you wrote all those to say that we do not suck. But then you also say that all else you said remains.. You are seriously one confused guy. View of the past? What past did MoMU ever have? We just started..
Now, if you really want to know further about anything, please come meet us and we shall explain what we have done and are planning for the future of MoMU. If you have any ideas on how to improve, also do let us know and we shall take into consideration of your ideas. But please, to say that we have done nothing but party is just condescending and not true.
Once again I thank you for your support. As to seeing more in the future, do let us know what it is you want to see. By writing the comments you have written will not let us know what you are thinking. So no matter what we have done which does not benefits you, you'll only feel that we are busy 'partying'.
I hope that you understand what we have gone through setting up the club, organising activities and at the same time, finishing up tutorials, attend lectures and also assignments to finish up. We are all students just like you but at the same time we dedicate a significant amount of time doing things for all of you, the members."
"=.=|||
Some people are really damn free."
"single layer t-shirts? is there any other type? :O
I'm missing out!!! T_T
... I saw 21 replied, and thought "wow! I wonder what's so interesting?!!!"
then I realised it was all flame... so let a non-committee member say something... you know, just cos u're a msian society dun mean you have to do anything more than party. As it is, that's what most clubs do. MoMU's committee really has a ambitious vision... far surpassing relevance of most Melb University clubs and societies... so :thumbsup: to MoMU.
haha, what's wrong with banana's??!! you know how much they're worth?!!! XO"
"wow~ luckily Mr/Ms anonymous remained anonymous~
>.< if not i cannot imagine what will happen to him/her.
anyways, i thought we, as uni students, have always been taught and geared towards providing constructive comments/suggestions instead of vague/unsupported criticisms.
nevertheless, we are all here to try to make this a better club for everyone~!
good job su ann~ looking forward to ur event! ^=====^"
"ever heard of constructive criticism, mr/ms anonymous?
it's not easy being on the exec. it's bad enough they have to spend LOTS of time planning events, they also have to prepare for the events in advance and stay back to clear up. if they have too many 'boring' activities, people complain. if they club too much, people complain. but see, these people who complain don't even bother to do anything about it. they don't try to run for exec the next year.
you clearly have a lot of time on your hands even though you party a lot.
and speaking in another language doesn't make you cool.
~subwaypath"
"well... at least momu's a self-funded, independent social/welfare based club which is by malaysians and for malaysians... plus... minus the politics part... cheers..."
"nothing is without politics mate...maybe in wonderland...then again u have the queen and her army of cards...hmmm"
"This Spring Picnic is gonna be great fun!!!
We're all looking forward to it =D
:thumbsup:"
