(*) 11.00-13.00 Movie Screening 1 at Schonell Theatre UQ ->> Singapore: "I Not Stupid" (小孩不笨)
an internationally-acclaimed movie. (English-subtitled)
The film portrays the lives, struggles, and adventures of three Primary 6 pupils who are placed in the academically inferior EM3 stream (which, as a result of parliamentary debates following the release of the film, was abolished in 2008). This satirical comedy criticises the Singaporean education system and social attitudes in Singapore, including the competitive kiasu (fear of losing) mentality and over-obedience to authority.
"I Not Stupid" won several awards, including the Best Chinese Film Award, at the Golden Bauhinia Awards, and the Best Chinese Humanitarian Film Award at the 2002 Taiwan Golden Torch Awards. The film was also nominated for Best Asian Film at the Hong Kong Film Awards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Not_Stupid

(*) 15.00-17.00 Movie Screening 2 at Schonell Theatre UQ ->> Indonesia: "Apa Apa Dengan Cinta?"
a 2002 Indonesian film directed by Rudy Soedjarwo. The Indonesian title is actually an untranslatable word play, as Cinta (Indonesian for "love") is also the name of the main character. As such the title can be translated as "What's Up With Love?" as well as "What's Up With Cinta (the person)."
The adventure of What's Up with Love? lies in the question of whether damages caused by the "forbidden romance" were reversible, and whether it was possible for Cinta to remain faithful to her girlfriends without losing Rangga. The film is coloured with Indonesian mainstream as well as sidestream values, elements of classical culture and politics, real issues encountered in teen life, and unique adventures and surprises.

UQMSA AGM 2009

Respected Members,

The year is almost reaching its end, as is the term of the current UQMSA committee. Therefore, UQMSA will hold its 2009 Annual General Meeting (AGM) on the 25^th of September 2009 (Friday). The details of the AGM are as follows:

Date: 25^th September 2009 (Friday)

Time: 4.30 PM – 6.30 PM (1630 hrs – 1830 hrs)

Venue: Able Smith Lecture Theatre (Building 23)

The AGM will be an avenue for members to become more involved in the association for the year 2010 by becoming a part of the committee. We hope that our members will free up some of their time to attend the AGM as these future committee members will be at the forefront in portraying the Malaysian spirit in Queensland.

Although we have set a date for our AGM, rest assured, we still have other activities lined up for this term. These include Makan Nite in conjunction with the UQ Singapore Students' Society, Sunshine Coast Trip and Lantern Festival. Our reason for having the AGM earlier is to avoid holding it in the final hectic weeks of the semester when a lot of assignments will be due.

A list of the positions and position descriptions will be sent out in our next e-mail.

Thank you for your participation thus far in our events. We hope to see you at our AGM this 25^th of September.

Regards,

UQMSA Committee
