WHAT’S UP PEOPLE!!! 
Mid semester break is over and now it is time for the final stretch before our finals! 


THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT YOU GET TO PROCRASTINATE AND READ ABOUT A NEW POST!!

While all of us were dreading to hand in our assignments and/or studying for our mid semester exams, we actually missed out on a fantastic Chinese tradition – the Mid Autumn Festival or more commonly known as the Mooncake Festival back home in Malaysia. Fear not me mateys, UQMSA came to the rescue! We may have been late in organising it, but we had it!
And here was what was on the menu!
Food: Various Mooncakes (Assorted Nuts, Red Bean, and Lotus Seed with Black Sesame)
Drinks: Oolong Tea
