so it begins...

So it starts with a cold... very cold Monday as MaSS begins its quest to 'evangelize' fellow students into member recruitment; little did they know, we are actually hired by our beloved country's government to scout possible talents for National Service (why did you think we organized paintball for!!?). But i digress (and am joking by the way).

i swear, they were innocent until we got a hold of them, and zapped them with our beloved "Reflexigator" There are those who even came willlingly to be zapped. Oh joy.

Despite the cold morning, we managed to actually spam people's arms with our self-made leaflets which hopefully has been a changing moment in their lives, AND gained 3 new members! Hooray for that! All the more reason to break out the secret booze that our glorious President has been hiding under his bed.

Let's just hope that our efforts will be more ... 'fruitful' in the coming days.

WELCOME fellow MaSS members to the official MaSS blog! If you are reading is, we heartily thank you for actually taking the time to drop by to check out the site. Now all you need to do is to tell everyone else about it! We have plans for this site and hopes that it will carry on for as long as Monash Uni will live, and with your help, this site will most certainly live forever!

The MaSS table is MOST certainly opened for the entire first week (excluding Friday). Therefore, it is highly suggested you drag your friends, relatives and partners alike to us and force them on joining. Please remember, one does need NOT need to be a Malaysian to join MaSS! For goodness sakes, we are a multicultural society! Anyone remember; Malaysia, truly Asia ?? If you don't, you need to watch more television!
The table can be found along the corridor outside K Block (where most lectures are). Just look for the majestic "Jalur Gemilang" soaring amongst the other banners and clubs. We are opting for someone (preferrably male) to wear a singlet, sarong and songkok, and walk around, but so far, no one has been volunteering. Sigh.

We also would like to extend our congrags and slaps on backs towards William & Keng Wei; our previous Vice President & Membership Officer, who have completed their Uni courses and are graduates! They now enter the workforce, well equipped with knowledge, and the fate of Malaysia's future rest in their hands. So... this is an opportunity to smash eggs and do the whatnot rituals for them. They are sure to be very free before going back to Malaysia.
And with that, we welcome our new Vice President of MaSS: Neo! (isn't that such an awesome name! And YES, it IS his real name!). Humbly and graciously accepting this post, Neo is sure (or destined, however you wish to see it) to bring MaSS to new heights.
A new Membership Officer is yet to be announced, but we will keep you posted.

These are the activities that are planned for the 2nd Semester:
- Welcome Lunch
- Mt Buller Day Trip (there is YETI to be found!)
- MultiCultural Event
- Merdeka Night
- Tulip Farm Trip

FELLOW members! We implore you to bombard our President's email with heaps of suggestions for anything, ANYTHING at all; activities, outings, exploration, gatherings and so forth. MaSS's mission statement has always been to make everyone feel welcomed and like a 'family' (yes in all its clicheness!!!), therefore we so welcome your ideas and opinions.

Also, the Sponsorship Officer is welcoming any suggestions of places you would like discounts at (especially if many Malaysians or Monash Uni peeps frequent the spot). If you have any clubs or bars in mind, please drop an email by as well. Everyone likes clubbing and drinking don't they?

Email MaSS! << click that!

C'MON PEOPLE! We are braving through Winter's harsh winds, rains and chill for you guys! You gotta give us credit for that!
And with that, the post will end.

Until next time people!
