It started to pour and people started to leave. But this makes up for all that misery.

selfless su says:

Hmm.. I beg to differ.. I think she left out a zero..

There must have been 1,000 people here!! I swear!!

Anyway, people came.. late..
So we started.. late..

Everybody seemed to rush to the BBQ pit.. WHY?? Are you guys that hungry?? Tsk tsk.. Think MoMU will feed you till you're full?? That's about right! But not before you guys get to know one another and played some games!

Yes we randomly separated everyone into groups. I was Team Leader 2!! Go Team 2!! You are winners!! The other teams, they're noobs! HAHA!!

We played "Passing the peanuts with chopsticks" game.. Some team won.. Think it was Team 5.. Grr!! They had less team members than we did!! Serious shit! I think my team had the most members loh..

Anyway, off to getting more food after the game.. By then, I was MFC, MoMU Fried Chicken..

We had planned to play another "interesting" game.. Those who attended last year's BBQ should know. The "Swing the banana" game!! Too bad we did not have enough time.

Tis all your fault for coming late!! Next time come earlier mah.. This is Australia after all. Not Malaysia. A wise old man once said "When in Australia do as the Australians do". ^_^

Anyway, it was great fun knowing everyone.. Wanna have a look at some pics?

GOOOOOD FUN

Don't forget.. Next up, MoMU Stall @ Night Market on Friday, 23rd March 2007!!! See you guys there :D

Hello poiples!

Hope everyone's settling in just fine now that we're already in Week 3 of uni. By now some of us should've gotten more info about assignments and assessment and all that horrible stuff. I know I have. I'm taking this ridiculous subject where we actually have *shudder* homework to do every week which we actually have to hand in. The worst part is it actually counts! And I'm not talking no piddly little 5% amount here...it's worth 20% of my entire grade! It's so damn cow stressing...euuurghhh

Anyhoots, a quick update on MoMU and the life of your beloved committee members. Because of everyone's clashing schedules, it's been a tad difficult to organize a proper meeting for all the departments, so as yet we haven't actually all met up yet. Luckily, we have very competent and responsible Activities, Liaisons and Publicity Officers who are diligently taking care of their tasks despite not having me to nag the crap out of them. Kudos to everyone for their work so far!

We've also got a couple of admin issues to clear up...according to our email inbox, these include some hoo-ha about a multicultural sports tournament, linking to a new student website, an international student transport concession meeting, and a potential contract which could score some income for the club...butttt...as per all good decisions, needs a little bit of discussing first.

Our next big activities are also coming up...the Welcome BBQ as well as our stall in the upcoming Night Market! MoMU is practically a full-time job, I keed you not.

If you guys are free this Saturday lunchtime (1 pm to be more precise), hop along to our Welcome BBQ. It was a pretty big hit last year with a large and happy turnout (free wad!), so we're hoping to see a similar sambutan this year :D We seem to have a lot of friendly, chatty and all-round gorgeous new members, so come make some new friends and enjoy the gardens Melbourne is famous for! Plus, can see me *cheh wah*




Oh! If anyone needs vegetarian food, email us and let us know beforehand yup? We're kind and understanding souls - we'll make sure there's food for you too. No excuses now! :P So see you all there this Sat!

OMG! A restaurant filled with servers with French maid outfits! Unfortunately that's in Canada and not here in Melbourne >> http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/3/11/lifeliving/17064442&sec=lifeliving

Now who's gonna ask their daddy to open one just like that in Melbourne? ^.^

Kawaii!!

You probably heard all the members manning the sign-up tables at Union House talk all about it. "We are having a City Tour this Sunday blah blah blah ..... and Welcome BBQ next Saturday!"

Well it's just around the corner and it's really about time we issue those updates!

City Tour
Date : 11th March 2007 (Sunday)
Venue : Sidney Myer Asia Centre, University of Melbourne)
Time : 1pm to 3pm

Put on your walking shoes and be ready to take walk along the streets of Melbourne City.
Starting off from Sidney Myer Asia Centre on Swanston St. we will be strolling all around the city checking out more than 10 checkpoints.Not only that, you get to find out where you can benefit as a MoMU member!

Oh! Don't forget to buy your Sunday Saver. Only $2.50 for the entire Sunday to ALL zones.
I'm sure with an offer like that, you wouldn't want to walk the entire City Tour route :P.

As this programme is aimed at participants of MoMU's Buddy System, you don't have to be part of the Buddy System to attend the City Tour. Just send us an email letting us know your name and contact number so we can provide extra "tour guides" if needed :D

Welcome BBQ
Date : 17th March 2007 (Saturday)
Venue : Flagstaff Gardens BBQ pit
Time : 1pm to 3pm

It's back and this time it's going to be bigger than ever. With 200+ new recruited members, we just want to thank all of you by inviting you guys to a FREE BBQ. That's right. No strings attached. Have a feast and we ensure you that Halal food is available. Vegetarian food is also provided upon request. You can also join our Gold Coin Raffle Ticket and have a go at winning a prize. Just like last years, we had tons of members in stitches with some team building games. If games are not your thing, we make sure you have fun just watching it.

As not many of you would be familiar to Flagstaff Gardens, here are some maps to provide you a good idea of where it will be held.

(map taken from gate1travel)

You can reach Flagstaff Gardens (symbolized by the red star) by walking along Latrobe St to William St and start heading towards Dudley St. The BBQ pit is located nearer to Dudley St. It is also right behind Queen Victoria Market (pass the parking lot)

(Flagstaff Gardens map taken from Google)

Here is a map of Flagstaff Gardens. The BBQ pit is circled in red with a nice big WE WILL BE HERE sign. So with all these clear instructions, I hope no one will go missing. If anyone is still confused or unclear about where the heck is our FREE Welcome BBQ, just drop us a comment or email and we will help you to find your way there.

Feel free to click on the pictures to get a bigger picture.

So take out your calendar and mark these dates.
You certainly don't want to miss out this time!

It was a bright sunny afternoon, and South Lawn was bobbing with heads by lunch time.
In a secluded corner hung a banner and flag which screamed no other but MoMU to the public.
It was MoMU's Free Pizza Lunch event held at 1-2pm at the South Lawn.

This event also started our Buddy Project, where senior students volunteer to take new students under their wing and guide them to the life of being a Melbourne student. Lots of mingling took place among the 26 mentees and 8 mentors. It wasn't long before the heart melting aroma of freshly baked pizzas drew the crowd to feast upon it. Even some outsiders stole some slices. (Grrr... )

But hey, we had more than enough pizzas and had to end up begging members to eat up. Wishing you were there now ?

After some time we started dividing the crowd into groups and from the looks of it, they all got on all fine and dandy. Besides the normal introductions and small talk, I heard they were already planning dinner and beach picnics for the weekend. These people are really getting ready to get the ball rolling.

*smile for the camera!*

*I say we all do homework at his house, or not...*

I'm happy to say that the Pizza Lunch was a job well done!
Can't wait till we go on the City Tour and attend the Welcome BBQ!
More information coming soon!

I was chatting with a friend from Singapore when she said "My TV is still blurred from the earthquake earlier". I was shocked.

"EARTHQUAKE?!? WHAT EARTHQUAKE??"
"Yeah.. There was an earthquake earlier at 2pm."
