Merdeka Week Events

Although this is already on the Merdeka Celebration 2007 website, I just thought I'd post a short event calendar here for everyone:

1st September: Merdeka Fest 2007 Gathering
2nd September: Pantun Merdeka Competition
5th September: Merdeka Movie Screening
7th September: Solat Hajat Merdeka
8th September: Merdeka Gala Dinner

Do go to the website for a more detailed description of every event, including times, dates and venues.

Tickets sales were absolutely fantastic yesterday; isn't it just so typically Malaysian for everyone to buy tickets on the last day that we open our booth? Lol! I think it's safe to say that we are about to sell out since as of yesterday, only one table was left. It's only a bit more than a week away but I think I speak for all the committees when I say we are so hyped about all the performances, great food, lucky draw prizes and all that in Brisbane's best function venue! This Merdeka Celebration is going to be awesome and well-worthy of our 50th year of independence.

Alright, everyone. Are you ready for the Malaysian Gathering? ;)

Changes to Ticket Prices for Merdeka Gala Night Dinner

Good news! The prices for tickets to the Merdeka Gala Night Dinner have been changed, yay! It will now cost you only $50 per person. Therefore, we will not be subsidizing tickets by pairs any longer. However, if you would like to buy tickets for a table (10 persons) with UQMSA, it will only cost you $490 instead of $500. Double awesome!

Don't forget that our ticket booth will be open outside the main refec area from 12 pm till 4 pm for the next two coming Wednesdays. So get your tickets before they sell out! A quick recap on the event:

Date: 8th September 2007 (Saturday)
Venue: Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre (Southbank)
Time: 6:30 pm till 12 am

We're excited too! ;)
