Mamak Nite's finalised details & other UQMSA news.

Hey guys,

It's confirmed! The first Mamak Nite for this year is this coming Wednesday, 4th of April. It starts at 5:30 pm, Schonell Theatre 2 and we estimate that it will last till around 10 pm. The movie 'Cinta' will be screening at 8 pm sharp. Don't forget to bring your membership cards for verification as non-members will have to pay an entrance fee of $3 for this event. Also, remember to sign up for the Moreton Island one-day tour and bring the fee of $90. If you still haven't signed up with UQMSA for 2007, this is your chance to do so and meet the rest of us! Just a reminder that it will only cost you $7 for the entire year.

On other non-Mamak Nite related news, PPMQ (Persatuan Pelajar-Pelajar Melayu Queensland) will be holding a free BBQ at Guyatt Park on the 8th of April from 10 am onwards and there will be a football game in the evening. Also, the Malaysian Students Department will be sending two representatives on the 9th of April (Monday) to UQ to meet undergraduate students from 10 am till 12 pm. If you would like to voice any concerns or issues to them or would just like to get to know your representatives better, then do try to make it. We will announce the venue of this meeting closer to the date.

Alright, hope to see you guys this Wednesday! :)

Mamak Nite #1 for 2007

The first Mamak Nite for the year is here, all you hungry Malaysians! At this free event, we'll be selling your favourite food from home at unbelievable prices because we're not out to make any profit at all. The menu we have come up with is:

1) Nasi lemak

2) Rendang ayam

3) Roti canai

4) Sardine curry

5) Pau

6) Onde-onde

7) Sardine rolls

8) Mee Soto

So make sure you're available on the 4th of April, next Wednesday!

Mamak Nite will kick off at 5:30 pm and after all that eating, we will be screening the movie 'Cinta' at 8 pm sharp. Also, don't forget to sign up for the Moreton Island 1-day tour that night. The $90 fee that only applies to UQMSA members is inclusive of morning tea, lunch, transportation, National Park fee, and all activities (normally priced at $25 each) so this is a very good deal that you shouldn't miss out on! Unless, of course, you prefer to pay $119!!

We'll be announcing the venue for Mamak Nite soon enough (it's definitely going to be held at uni) so watch this space and check your e-mails. Make sure you bring your membership cards. You can also bring your friends who are non-members but they will be asked to pay $3 at the door.

We can't wait!! :)

P/S: Those of you who haven't signed up with UQMSA, you can still do so on that night. The fee is only $7 for the entire year. You can also collect your membership card if you haven't done so.
