These are all really awesome hardworking people, and we have no doubt at all that they will continue to develop the club MoMU to new heights. So come next week, we will be officially handing over the reins to the new committee. So... look out for them on campus la - I'm sure they'll be pottering around planning the next activity which I have no doubt will be a huuge success :)

And also, here's a leetle message from the incoming president, Su Ann...

Hey everyone!

I have had the honour of serving MoMU for the past term, and I have seen MoMU grow to what it is today – a simple and casual, yet dynamic and friendly club. On behalf of the newly elected committee, I would like to thank you for placing your confidence in us. We will dedicate every ounce of determination and energy inside ourselves to bring you a bigger, better, and more enjoyable MoMU.

Our club wouldn't have thrived so well over the past one and a half years, if it wasn't for the support of you members, who have attended our events and have made our effort and time worthwhile. Once again, I would like to thank you for giving us your never-ending support. As president of the 2007/2008 term, I would like to encourage everyone to voice out their ideas and opinions. We at MoMU will always try to bring you what we "think" is best for you. But of course, nobody knows what is best for you but you yourself. If you have any ideas or feedback (be it positive or negative), please do share it with us. There is always room for improvement, and we can always find a way of making the club better. Remember, your opinion counts!

Year 2008 will be just as awesome as this year, if not better! That being said, I hope to see you guys at two of our grandest events this year, the Merdeka Countdown and Kenduri Malaysia and our future activities. Come along, celebrate Malaysia's big FIVE-O!

Su Ann
President, 2007/2008

Alrightay, that's it for now! And on a final note, it's been great being MoMU secretary and of course, a big THANK YOU to all of you who have frequented and supported our activities. Like Su Ann says, every single one of our successful activities/events can only be attributed to you guys - So, really THANK YOU! And good luck with the rest of the semester!

PS - Bought tickets to our Merdeka dinner and countdown? Come lah come lah!!! Give face to the last event the outgoing committee is organising! Pretty please with cherry and cream on the top? *smiles winningly*

Su Vyn
the *sniff* outgoing Secretary

Look at what we have to offer during Festival of Nations 2007!

As per the previous semesters, we are again selling Kuih and Teh Tarik due to popular demand. Come satisfy your cravings with our mouth-watering menu.

Feeling blue?
Have a bite of the local favourite: Pulut Kaya

Pul­ut kaya – Plain glutinous rice served with kaya (jam made from pandan leaves.)
Always a winner among everybody.

***
Here's one for all those yam lovers out there: Yam Kuih

Yam kuih – A rice cake made out of yam, steamed to give a soft purple texture. Yum!

***
Be spoilt with colours with the sensational Kuih Lapis!

Kuih lapis – A nine-layer glutinous rice cakes for the Straits-born Chinese wedding speciality.

Never heard of Kuih Salat? Then come and try it!

Kuih Salat - Similiar to Kuih Talam, but with a glutinous rice base.

***
More kuih will be there like this Tapioca kuih!

Tapioca kuih - Baked kuih of tapioca mixed in sweet pandan-flavoured custard.

***
Last but not least, our two-tone heaven: Kuih Talam.

Kuih talam – generally known as steamed coconut pudding.
It is a delicacy enjoyed by all walks of Malaysian life.

***
These delicious kuih-muih will be sold for :

$1 for 1 piece of kuih.

$4 for 5 pieces of kuih.

$1.50 for a cup of teh tarik.

If you buy 5 pieces of kuih and is a MoMU member, you're entitled to a FREE teh tarik! (Membership card required)

But don't worry, if you're a non-member, just add $1 and you get teh tarik too!

That's 5 pieces of kuih + 1 teh tarik for only $5!

Please take note that no containers will be provided for purchases less than 10 pieces of kuih. So if you wish to take them home, do bring your own containers for your convenience.

However, if you decided that you immensely enjoy our selection of kuih and would like to buy more, we will gladly pack them in transparent plastic containers when you purchase 10 pieces or more!

We also have Apok Sago to tantalize your tastebuds but unfortunately we do not have an image available.

So the only way to find out is to be at North Court, Union House on Tuesday (28 August) and Wednesday (29 August). Our stall will be opened from 12pm to 3pm both days till stocks run out. Look out for the Malaysian flag and we'll see you there!

Sorry to crash in on this post guys!!

But guess who's bringing sexy back?

Come to our Merdeka Night Kenduri and check out who!!

PSV Eindhoven are interested in a promising Malaysian teenager after seeing him in action during the Champions Youth Cup currently being held in the Asian nation.

Under-19 defender Mohd Asraruddin, who can play at left-back or in the middle of defence, has caught the eye of the Dutch powerhouse and has been offered a two-week training spell in the Netherlands.

“We saw player No. 3 (Asraruddin) play against us and the match before and we came away impressed,” PSV coach Peter Dekkers told The Star newspaper.

“We would like to take him to PSV for a few weeks and see more of him in action,” added the coach.

The youngster also impressed PSV scout Piet de Visser.

“He is a good captain and has a good left foot," said de Visser. “He is very strong, fast and has good passing skills. Many defenders just defend well but are unable to create moves, this boy can do both very well. We look forward to having him at PSV.”

Good luck kid. Make us proud!

Hi all,

Firstly would like to say that us at the MoMU committee have all had a great time working together. But then we're like damn old edi la, and we need to step down to pass the work on to you younger people :p

Soo... our elections are coming up this Friday, and would be awesome if all of you really enthusiastic members could swing by to vote or run for a committee position!!!

Anyhoo, details as follows...

Meeting: Annual General Meeting
Date: 24th August 2007 (Friday)
Time: 12.00pm
Venue: Joe Nap Rooms A & B (2nd floor of Union House)

Essentially, what we will be doing in the AGM is ratifying our club constitution, making some necessary amendments and voting the official committee in. Any MoMU member from Melbourne University is free to run for the committee.

Those of you who are interested in running for the committee, please do email us by next Thursday (23rd August 2007) or earlier to finalise - and we'll arrange the proceedings.

The committee positions up for grabs are as follows...

Oh and please do note that nominations for committee positions will be called out in the IGM, and no proxies are permitted (ie you have to be in the meeting in person if you wish to vote, or run for a position). Also, due to VSU and student union regulations, at least 2 members of the executive committee (ie President, VP, Treasurer and Secretary) must be members of the student union.

I got many emails from people interested in running for a committee position - so I better see many many MoMU members at the AGM!!!
