i found pictures!! this pictures are from the night when the prime minister came to melbourne..

so basically we, the committee and some other peeps from other malaysian societies from various other universities in victoria gathered at

where we heard the prime minister giving a speech!

the whole gang who went were

and we were expecting to get a picture like this with the prime minister. unfortunately the prime minister had to leave earlier than scheduled so our prime minister is not in the picture with us.

so being all kaypoh (busybody) and bohliao (nothing better to do), we decided to go hope on

and take many many photos. that was where the prime minister sat! anyway it is too embarassing to put the pictures with us in it so here you see the empty chairs ;p

so after all the photo taking sessions, we left.. with a full stomach (food was served and it was delicious!).. but also with

lots of flags!! so patriotic.. each person got a flag and we gathered quite a number so we can use them for future events..

well, that's it for being bored.. expect more unexpected posts during this exam period.. tis when i am truly have more time to blog.. hopefully lol!

Situation in Malaysia
*Sirens from 100m away*

Driver looks into back mirror and gives way for the ambulance/fire truck/police (let's call them Siren) to pass. As soon as Siren passes by, driver swoops behind Siren and trails as far as he could.

--The End--

LOL! That's the truth! And it's about time that something is being done about it
--> Siren chasers to be fined on the spot, says traffic chief.

RM300 fine for you suckers!! :p I don't like stupid people who does things like that..

Oh, don't neglect the post below about our FREE screening of Cinta.

Wahlau I have been so busy that I kinda lost track of time!

MoMU at your service :p

Kon!

For those of you who didn't know, the ever-sporting men of the MoMU committee took part in an intercultural soccer match just before Easter. The draw?

Malaysia vs. China

Dum Dum DUMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Naturally, no expense was spared in preparing our stalwart athletes for this impending battle. Although sporting giants like Nike, Adidas, Puma and such were falling over themselves to endorse our players, we patriotically declined, choosing instead our all-Malaysian Bata and Power footwear for the big day. Hours and hours were spent in rigorous training with our resident Spartan (rawr!), moi of course, grilling the men in an effort to whip them into 6-pack shape.

(True Spartans like me have about 10 packs, but I decided to go easy on these nasi-lemak-eating softies)

Come match day, our athletes were fit and raring to go. The cold winds and exceedingly tall opponents did nothing to dampen their spirits. They were all focused on one goal. The goal that eluded them last year when they went up against the Greeks. The goal that would save them from another year of paiseh-ness and mockery. The goal that would enable them to show their faces in Malaysia once again. Yes, just one goal was all they asked...

We're the men in white!

And indeed, one goal they scored!!



(This isn't a video of the goal, btw. You think my camera so chun meh? Besides, this was second half already and everyone ran away when they saw the camera. This is merely a video of August *confirming* that the goal was scored. Because it was too fast! The minute he switched out from goalie to striker, he scored! Can meh??!?)

Congratulations MoMU footballers! You didn't win, but at least you scored ONE goal! Er, I can't remember if China scored 3 or 4 (probably gave up counting) but anyway twas a good game and good fun to watch :D Next years, two goals!

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!!

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."

Yeah, so just letting you guys know what's going on around back home in South East Asia.. Read more at TheStar >> http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/3/6/nation/20070306123658&sec=nation


Also, you guys becareful out there. Just be wary of the people around you. A Malaysian man was killed in Springvale. It is said to be a random attack >> http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/3/5/nation/17047396&sec=nation

"Maybe this year should be less about us and more about others"

I saw that in a Perodua advertisement and thought how meaningful that meant. Many of the Malaysian ads during festive seasons (and the new year) are amazing! They all have a message which are simply wonderful - some reminding us of our family back home, some reminding us to respect our elders and many others.

Not to forget "TODAY marks the start of what will be a remarkable year for Malaysia. It is the 50th anniversary of our Merdeka and Visit Malaysia Year 2007." - The Star. Malaysia is 50 years old now and really I would say we have achieved a lot from where we were 50 years ago despite Malaysia being a multi racial country. Along with Visit Malaysia Year 2007, I say you all ask your friends to come to Malaysia!

Although there are times when some friends ask what is there to do in Kuala Lumpur and nothing comes to mind, do not forget that Malaysia as a whole is a wonderful place. Travel around and do not stay in KL. Go to see the wayang kulit or the reefs in the eastern peninsular or even hike Mount Kinabalu or go camping in Taman Negara. If your friends just want to stay in KL, then ask them to be prepared for shopping and eating. That's what I think KL is mainly about. For those of you from Penang or Johor or Sabah or any other places in Malaysia, maybe you could comment on where and what there is to do in your area.

Anyway I am sure many of you have new resolutions for the new year. So, with the many changes everyone is making, we should try to change for the better this new year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
