Heya people! I bet most of you are really getting into the holiday grooves by now, so here's something to spice it up even more, the revered MALAYSIA WEEK.

As the name suggests, it is a one week event organised by MASCA. The week long celebration starts with the Fiesta Malaysia, which will be held at the Queensbridge Square, Southbank on 27th of September. The fiesta is a showcase of traditional Malaysian dances, food, games and many more, and is a guaranteed fun factor for family and friends. Best of all, admission s FREEEE!! Do hop over to

www.fiestamalaysia.com

for more information regarding the event.


On the 2nd of October, it's the 10th iteration of MASCA's Annual Malam Gemilang, a night of awe and elegance at Albert By The Lake. Tickets are selling out fast, so be sure to contact MASCA asap to get a seat!




Next up is the Australian Malaysian Film Festival, which will be held at the Australian Centre of Moving Image (ACMI) at Federation Square from the 4th to the 7th of October. The event showcases some of the latest and best films from Malaysia, from some of Malaysia's best filmakers like Yasmin Ahmad and Nizam Razak. A batik exhibition will run alongside the event.

For more information, visit

www.australianmalaysianfilmfestival.com.au.

Last but not the least, it's the Graduan Career Fair, which will be held on the 10th of October. The fair is an excellent platform for students to get to know more about their respective industry in Malaysia. Significant participants in this year's Graduan fair include: Bank Negara Malaysia, ExxonMobil, Maxis and Shell. So do give it a go, drop in a resume, and you'll never know how it fares.

We strongly encourage you to participate in the events above. After all, what is Malaysia Week without.....MALAYSIANS?

At long last, after all those months of anticipation, shopping and knees on floors (Good effort guys XD), it's now only 24 hours away from boarding the biggest cruise ball event ever. Oooh yeah!

I'm sure most of you would not want to miss it for the world, so here's a few friendly reminders that will undoubtedly ensure your evening is as memorable and pleasant as promised.

*****

Please be aware that

THE SHIP LEAVES AT EXACTLY 6PM
THE SHIP LEAVES AT EXACTLY 6PM
THE SHIP LEAVES AT EXACTLY 6PM
THE SHIP LEAVES AT EXACTLY 6PM


The only way to fit into the context of being 'fashionably late' is to board the ship while it's at the center of Port Phillip Bay. That requires either swimming, or renting a sampan, or riding a dolphin, or doing a car jump off the edge of the docks, Starsky and Hutch style. Unfortunately, MoMU will not be able to provide any of the aforementioned services.

Hence, it's highly recommended that you be on the ship no later than 5.30pm. There is a lounge onboard for you to have a drink while waiting for the ship to set sail, and a deck for you to enjoy the bay breeze and the beautiful surroundings of Docklands.

Please be reminded that latecomers will not be able to get a refund for their tickets.

The ship will be docked at the Waterfront City in Docklands. The MV Rivers Voyager is one of the largest ship at bay and it will be quite hard to miss.


We understand some of you might have trouble finding the place, therefore we had set up a pick-up point in the city to guide you to the ship. Our representative will be outside the

Melbourne Central Tram Stop
(Outside the Jeans West Clothing Store),
Swanston St,
at 5.00pm

to pick you up. So please be on time.

****

That's all for now. Looking forward to seeing you all on the ship tomorrow!
