UQMSA Welcoming BBQ Part I

(Not to be confused with MASCA welcoming barbecue over the weekend. If you guys have forgotten, yes, we did serve free chicken wings, sausages and lime cordial on the 1st of March at Southbank parklands.)

The committee...well, Yu Ting at least got up at the break of dawn to secure us a couple of pits for the bbq. The rest of the committee members turned up around 8 and began preparation for the massive cookout: decorations, a quick shopping trip to the city for emergency supplies, mixing the drink in a massive red 'tong' and the tiresome job of cooking a few hundred chicken wings on top of a pit that didn't work as well as it should.

The hot, sunny weather did us all a favour: people came en masse, Malaysians and non-Malaysians alike and passers-by stared at our glorious pile of food hungrily and shamelessly. It was a festive atmosphere and everyone was in good spirits: a couple of frisbees were tossed around, the football was kicked about (passed to people and with delicious vengeance in mind, at those pesky ibises) and most people went home happy and sated.
