Jom Watch AFL

Salam Sejahtera and Hi everyone ! 

Hope things have been awesome, and that the mid-semester exams are all out of the way already :) If you've been missing our past events,  no need to fret anymore as our next big excursion is now here! UQMSA will be organizing Jom Watch AFL ! , in which we will all be watching and cheering the Brisbane Lions at The Gabba  :D

A bit about Aussie Footy
Australian Rules Football, or Aussie Footy for short, is the one of the most popular sports in this sports-obsessed nation which is Australia. The game itself is a unique blend of soccer, Gaelic football, and rugby, and is considered as one of the unique icons of Australian culture. 

And like surfing in the Gold Coast, or patting a koala at Lone Pine, experiencing a live Footy match is something that should not be missed by anyone in Australia!

Okay, enough with exciting you, details of the event are below :)

UQMSA Rock Climbing

Hello EVERYONE! On the 2^nd of April 2011, it was a beautiful morning and the sun was up and shining brightly by 6.30am! However, more importantly, UQMSA had a social rock climbing session held at ROCKSPORTS in FORTITUDE VALLEY!!

8.00am – Chiang arrives at Toowong Train Station!

8.30am – A few participants arrive at the rendezvous point!

9.00am – Everybody arrives except one! (you know who you are!)

9.05am – She finally arrives!! =O

9.11am – Everyone got into the train heading towards the city!

9.55am – Arrived at ROCKSPORTS!  Because we were too early, we were told to CHILL!

After Rocksports’ staff finished setting up all the climbing gear, we were given a short introductory lesson!  Joel looking very pert, proper and with great makeup!

After the short training, everyone found themselves a partner and went climbing! From here on out, it is just going to be photos of people conquering the climbing walls!

Social Volleyball

UQMSA organised a great game of beach volleyball on Saturday, 15th March 2008. A lot of our members showed up, slapped a ball around and some even got to eat sand. It was a great show of sporting spirit where newcomers had a go at playing beach volleyball wholeheartedly and people who had experience gave tips and encouraged the newbies and their team members. At the end of it, the sun had set and a group of people had the court booked for 6pm and kicked us out but some of us kept on playing on the grass hitting the ball to each other. UQMSA went around collecting gold coin donations for the good cause of the club and to help pay for court hire and future events, and we got quite a decent amount, including $2 Singapore dollars! People, gold coin donation doesn't literally mean the coin has to be GOLD...it just means donation of any amount, in Aussie dollars! So, next time the collecting bag goes around, you know what to toss in there. No more SGD, or, the outphased RM1 coins, ok! but whomever that was, thanks anyway; your heart is in the right place...right?

Team UQMSA!
