Election & Raya event

2009-10-13T11:15:00.001-07:00

Assalamualaikum,

An update regarding the new committee election event. Since we cant find a room to accomodate the election, it has to be postponed. Most likely it'll be held by next week.

Meanwhile there are no changes for Raya event. It will proceed normally on this Friday 16th October from 6.30pm onwards at Darwin Missing Link. Food and drinks will be provided. But guests & society members are welcomed to bring food (especially kuih raya. that will be awesome). The tickets for the event will cost 3 pounds and can be bought on the spot.

Ok I think that is all what I've got in mind.

Cheers,
Milzam

Easter Picnic, Day Trip & Planet Lazer

2009-04-07T13:56:00.000-07:00

Hi guys

A few more days to go before the Easter holidays. I assume that everyone is busy with their deadlines as the end of spring term is coming to an end. Good luck with whatever you're trying to finish. Anyway, the society has planned a few events so that members can have something to do during the holidays:

1. Easter picnic
This will be held on Friday the 10th starting from 11-3pm. We gonna have a picnic on the field (close to Rutherford and Elliot). The theme will be beach party (wear anything that suits you since it is a sunny day). Food and beverages will be provided, but you can bring your own food.

2.Trip to Alton Towers/Thorpe park
We're planning to have a day trip probably on 20/4 or 21/4. Its either to Thorpe Park or Alton Towers, but it's unconfirmed yet so I've posted a poll for you to vote which place we should go. Polls will be closed by next week. And spaces will be limited as we're planning to take 20-30 people only. So let me know if you're interested.

Prices:(Thorpe Park): http://www.thorpepark.com/ticket-prices.php
(Alton Towers): http://www.altontowers.com/tickets/

3.Planet Lazer
Its like paintball, but its in a form of 'lazer tag'. See: http://www.planetlazer.co.uk/
The cost of entry is quite cheap and the place is near (Its in canterbury!), so let me know if anyone is interested

I think thats roughly what we had in mind. If there's any update I'll email you guys and post something on the blog. So keep checking your mail and the blog as well. Oh, dont forget to vote for Alton Towers or Thorpe Park for our day trip!

They are requesting a help from our society to give them donations so that we can aid them financially in order to pay for the mosque. To donate you can go to Markaz and meet one of the committees there or just simply insert your money into one of the donation boxes. There is still a large amount of money for them to pay, so please kindly donate to them.

Thank you guys.

Inter Society Sports League

2009-01-19T04:25:00.000-08:00

Hi guys~ Happy new year! hope all of you had a great x'mas and still stayed conscious after the fun in new year~

I've been extremely lazy recently... I guess we all have been since it's the only holiday in the term where we can relax oursleves~ So OK! Back to business, I've tried my best to sort out the teams who're participating in the league, so here it goes;

Football

Teams participating: HK soc/ Thai soc/ MB soc/ CN soc (I am not so sure about the ABACUS foot ball team yet)

1st match: HK v Thai

2nd match: Thai v MB

3rd match: MB v HK

4th match: HK v CN

5th match: CN v Thai

6th match: MB v CN

We really need to know whether we can have 2 courts per day so we can get 2 matches finished at once. That'll be much easier. We're having each society to play with each other... this is what you call, round robin, right? i'm not so sure lol~ but as long as all of you agree that this would be the best way to handel it, we'll go for it and same as basketball and badminton.

_________________________________________________________________________

Basketball

Participating Teams: HK soc/ Thai soc/ MB soc/ CN soc (Again, I'm not sure will ABACUS be able to have a team ready by then)

1st match: HK v Thai

2nd match: Thai v MB

3rd match: MB v HK

4th match: HK v CN

5th match: CN v Thai

6th match: MB v CN

So, the same format for play. From my understandings, we can only have one court per play, so no matches can go on together. But it'll be good if we could have 2 games on going for a day. same game play format as football if anyone has any other suggestions.

__________________________________________________________________

Badminton

Participating Teams: HK soc/ Thai soc/ MB soc/ CN soc/ ABACUS

1st match: HK v Thai

2nd match: Thai v MB

3rd match: MB v HK

4th match: HK v CN

5th match: CN v Thai

6th match: Thai v ABACUS

7th match: ABACUS v CN

8th match: CN v MB

9th match: MB v HK

10th match: ABACUS v HK

11th match: MB v ABACUS

This one is soooo confusing or just despite on my stupidity!!! So... I've attached a table to this email... see how it'll work out. But there are things i need to know... and definetly another meeting asap when we got back after the holiday. I wanna know do all of you have girls for doubles and

singles. I really need to know all of your team status.

So, do you have girls for doubles and singles?

if so, how many?

Would you like to get the mixed doubles on going?

We need to have these information before we decide how are we gonna sort out the games and courts.

As scheduled, we do it after Chinese new year... But I know... it's a bit hasty since it's like, one week after... so I say, have the meeting at the 20th of January if everyone's fine.

Please reply this email asap so we can all get to know each other's availability~

Thanks again and lookin forward to your replies!!!

Pre-Secret Santa Party 27/11

2008-11-29T09:38:00.000-08:00

Hello there

As you all know, we had a society meeting last Thursday at the Keynes Lecture Theatre (KLT1). Big place btw...such a waste that not everyone came to fill up such a huge lecture room. However, ‘waste’ is hardly the right word to describe the meeting itself because there were many things that we discussed. So for those of you who missed the meeting or have short term memory, here’s a brief recap of the things we discussed:

Pre-Secret Santa

The main purpose of the meeting was the pre-Secret Santa event where we all write our names in a piece of paper and then randomly pick another paper with someone else’s name. Then you will have to buy that person some gift. Simple. However, there are few things to note:

Secret Santa event will be on the 9^th of December (Tuesday) – so you have one week plus to buy gifts (although I’m sure many will do the shopping on the Monday before that day :-P)
MUST WEAR FORMAL CLOTHING. No Jeans. No T-Shirts. No Selipar. No Seluar Pendek. For Men, if you don’t have any suits then just wear something smart.
Please do not give ‘rubbish’ gifts (although what qualifies as a rubbish gift depends on the person hehe)

MB-Soc Uniform

Another important thing that was discussed was about a new official Malaysian-Brunei Society Uniform. We are planning to have two types of uniform:

A Polo shirt – Dark Blue colour, your name, Kent Logo
A ‘Hoodie’ – Red, your name, MBSOC logo

During the meeting, we passed a sheet around members of the society who are interested in having one so that they could fill up their preferences (Polo/Hoodie/both, Size, name to be put on the shirt). For those of you who are interested but did not attend the meeting contact the President or any of us committee members.

The price has not been decided yet as of now...I know, I know...that’s the first question that runs through everyone’s mind...but we will inform you ASAP

Movie Night

Last but not least, the current plan is to hold another Movie Night this upcoming Friday. Our last movie night was really fun (despite how a lot of girls complained about not coming because we were showing a horror movie, there were actually MORE GIRLS that came than guys LOL). What we are planning now is to have a theme for this upcoming movie night and that is ‘Classical Malay Movies’ which is basically P.Ramlee movies. We will post another poll in this blog, as soon as we confirm the availability of the movies. So for those of you who have P.RAmlee movies, plz contact us.

***

Ok, I guess that’s all for now

Nawawi, signing off~

Pre-Secret Santa Party

2008-11-25T12:16:00.000-08:00

Again, a reminder to all of you about the Pre-Secret Santa Party. It will be held THIS THURSDAY (27/11) at the KEYNES LECTURE THEATRE1 from 6PM-8PM.

And another thing to add, on the same night, the society will be having a charity. Since christmas is all about the spirit of giving gifts, why not give away a pound or two pounds or more by which the money will then be donated to a children's charity.

To those of you who have any unwanted items (eg. clothes, books, bags & etc) you can bring them along to our pre-secret santa meeting and give them to us and we will give them to Oxfam. But make sure the items that you plan to donate are still in good conditions =)

Alright, thats all I have to say and see you on this Thursday!
Cheers.

Pre-Secret Santa!!!

2008-11-18T14:06:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone!!!!

Busy with your assessments and rushing through assignments? =) I understand the following weeks will be extremely busy for all of you.. and it IS rather difficult to concentrate when we know the holidays are coming up!! For me, that is! I am simply counting the days to the 19th when the hols finally begin!

We've got some very, very exciting news for all of you! The Pre-Secret Santa party will be held NEXT THURSDAY (27TH NOVEMBER) at the KEYNES LECTURE THEATRE 1 from 6PM - 8PM.

For those who are not familiar with Secret Santa, I've hyperlinked it to the trustworthy Wikipedia for your reading pleasure. =) In other words, it's a game where you buy a gift for someone else and vice-versa without the person knowing you are their Secret Santa!! This goes in conjunction with our yearly Christmas celebration albeit a little early!! =)

This would most probably be something new for the first years as well as the postgrads so do come and join us at the event!! For the rest of you, we are having a different theme this time *wink* so do come along to the meeting and find out what lies in store for you!!!

Looking forward to seeing all of you next Thursday!!! Take care!

Cheers,

Suk Yein

So Shutter It Is

Wow. 808 votes? I didnt know our members are as big as that. Obviously someone voted more than once hahaha. 397 votes for Shutter and 392 votes for Kung-Fu Panda. Each of the remaining titles was voted by less than 10 people which is extremely minute compare to the two "over-voted" titles haha.

Anyway, I know some of you are not happy with the results. But like it or not we're going to watch shutter tomorrow night. For those of you who do not know what "Shutter" is, it is a romantic movie as quoted by Nawawi. Trust me, it is a really good movie. Watching it will make you burst into tears hahaha.

The MBSoc-Kent Deepa Raya celebration was held last night (1/11/08) at the Darwin Missing Link. Although the preparation was a little bit in a rush, the celebration was a blast =) So congratulations to Azura and her committees for their fantastic job in making the celebration a success. As a representative of the committee members, I would like to say thank you to any volunteers who had helped during the preparation, to the performers who entertained us and to everyone who came last night =) And thank you to the contributors of food.

DeepaRaya Celebration & Society Meeting

2008-10-21T00:22:00.000-07:00

You guys probably have received the DeepaRaya celebration e.mail from Suk Yein. Anyways, Im gonna post it again here.

Hello everyone!!

First of all, I would like to apologise for the really late update as the committee has been running around trying to book a suitable venue for our DeepaRaya event and at the same time, register for the Malaysian Nottingham Games.

Here are the details for our DeepaRaya event:

Venue: DARWIN MISSING LINK

Date: 1ST OF NOVEMBER 2008 (Saturday)

Time: 6.00PM - 10.00PM

Please note the change of date. There has been many changes to the date mainly due to the booking of the rooms as we've tried our very best to hold this event within the Syawal Month. So, to all the Muslims out there, I would like to say 'beribu-ribu maaf' as all the major event rooms have been booked from the 24th of October onwards and this is the best available date.

The ticket price for this event is 3.50 pounds.

We are planning to have a few performances as well as games so to all those interested in performing (be it singing/dancing/whatever) or if you have any interesting games in mind, please do e-mail Ben (bmks2) and let him know by this Friday (24/10) please!

As this is a potluck event, feel free to bring food to the event but please let Ali (aah23) know beforehand alright? We wouldn't want people to bring too much of the same type of food over! =)

Here's a list of food in which some of our lovely members have volunteered to bring. Hopefully, with all of your contributions, I'll be able to make a huge long list! =)

1. Nasi Goreng @ Fried Rice (vegetarian)

2. Cucur Udang @ Prawn Fritters

3. Popiah @ Spring Rolls

4. Chicken Rendang and Nasi Impit @ Ketupat

5. Lontong @ Vegetable Curry

6. Soft Drinks

Moving on to our second major event - the Malaysian Nottingham Games. Practice sessions for participants will be sent out to everyone. If you are interested in just coming along to support our teams and also meet up with your friends (a lot of people are going to be there!! Not to mention tons of MALAYSIAN FOOD!!), please e-mail Azura (nc72) or me (syk2)!

I'll inform you as soon as possible on the transport cost.

Finally, we will be holding a Society Meeting to discuss these events. Details are as below:

Venue: RLT1 (Rutherford Lecture Theatre 1)

Date: 24th October 2008 (This coming Friday!!)

Time: 6.00pm - 8.00pm.

We have also noticed that most people have difficulties with the Kent Union website, having to go through so many procedures to register as members of the MBSoc. Well, don't worry as we will be setting up laptops to help you through this rather painstaking process!!

All you've got to do is bring your DEBIT/CREDIT card to the meeting on Friday!!

Hmm, this is a rather lengthy e-mail. Okay, I'll just sum up a to-bring list for all of you! ;-)

1. Debit/Credit Card to register as a member of the MBSoc.

2. 3.50 pounds for the DeepaRaya event.

Looking forward to seeing you on Friday and do take care! =)

Warmest wishes,

Suk Yein
