MaSS Melbourne Race!

Heyy...

As most of you would know by now, we would be having a Melbourne Race coming up pretty soon. To describe what it's about, i'm just gona quote it off from Melissa's email ;)

"The 'race' generally has the same concept has the Amazing Race has shown on television (for all you tv junkies), or the Spirit of KL. Essentially, it is running from one landmark to the other, doing a series of non-embarrassing and witty activities to gain your next step into the game. It is proven to be heaps of fun from personal experience and we can guarantee that you will be going home with oodles of great memories and silly moments."

For those newly arrived students out there, here's a chance for you to get to know Melbourne just a lil bit more. I bet you that after this race, you might just know more about Melbourne city that a person who has lived here for a year or 2. hehe.

For the rest of you, here's a chance to test yourself. how well do you actually know melbourne??

Besides, when else will u get a chance to be in a amazing race type situation!!

Anyway, here are the details...

DATE 12th August 2007, Sunday
TIME 9AM - 6PM
PRICE AUD10 per person for members and non-members

over-dued post

Hey guys~ i know i know its been a very goat-damned long time since anyone has actually posted anything on the MaSS website, and for that i apologize most profusely. Though it was done over email, again much over-dued wishes of the BEST OF LUCK to everyone sitting for examination papers over the next 2-3 weeks, being that we are already smacked in the midst of it :D
And why or rather HOW did i find the time to type a post up? Simple answer: i did two papers already and am feeling VERY LAZY RIGHT NOW.


HERALD THE NEW COMMITTEE
i am sure that EVERYONE is very much aware of the new changes in the club right now, with new committee members taking up various posts, and sorts. Please refer to the previous post for information. We are in the midst of revampign certain stuff within the club, everyone very eager to bring forth their ideas and seeing them in action. We truly hope to bring the best to the club in the following semester.

Semester 2
The 2nd semester will start on the 16th July in case nobody is aware. You can bet that MaSS will have a booth opened up during O-Week to receive and welcome you guys back again for the 2nd semester, and hope that you will re-new your memberships with us! Don't forget, if you have the CommUNIty Card, you are eligible for a discounted fee (like me! weee!).
For the following semester, rest assured that there will be activities to enjoy and sorts. Though semester 1 may seemed like a quiet sem to most members, with only a pinch of activities here and there, we will try our darndest to make sure that sem 2 will have more. You guys need to read your emails more often!!! But don't let the acitivities-happening stop at us, the club! You, as members, are MORE THAN WELCOME to create acitivites of your own, propose it to us and make it happen! We are more than happy to hear what you want to do, making it so much easier for us making stuff happen for you guys!



Best of luck again guys, and enjoy your holidays!

look look what i got!!!!

thanks ben!

the aftermath.

i hope everybody have stopped aching or bruising by now. hehehe...

anyway, last Saturday, we had our paintball event and eventhough we didnt get our target amount of people. but nonetheless, it was fun!!

i arrived at 7-eleven a lil later than expected but im sooo happy to say that most of the people that were already there were malaysians!!! i'm sooo proud of u guys. hehehe. the buses left a lil later than it should due to latecomers but we still arrived on time soo it's all good.

It was a 3 hours journey, so i think almost everyone slept at some point of the journey.



we made 1 toilet stop on the way cuz the toilet in the bus wasnt working. anyway, here's melissa!! the success of the paintball is all thanks to her!!



sorry the pictures are a lil blur cuz the bus was kinda shaky and my camera sucks.







we managed to arrive at bout 9.10am. a guy came and gave us a safety talk on the bus. we filled up forms, gave our student ID and got suited up in our camo.
this is the entrance to the place. it looks kinda like a 'tanah terbiar' doesnt it?



while waiting for the other bus to arrive, we took some pictures....





we headed inside the place and took a lil moreee....

once the other bus arrived, we got our helmets and guns and off to battle, we go! sorry i don't have any pictures inside, i didn't bring my camera in. anyway, we played until about 2pm. had a few breaks in between. at 2pm, we had a bbq lunch provided by the paintball place. after lunch, we had 1 more game and then we headed home with bruises and paint everywhere. arrived caulfield at bout 7pm. and that was it!
