Time: 12-2pm
Venue: Campus Centre (opposite STA travel)

To those who missed out on signing up with us last week, you are most welcome to visit us at our booth to meet up with our committee and sign up!

To those who had sign up, thank you but do me a favour yea! Spread the news to all your friends who are interested in signing up with MUMSU.

Lastly, to our old members, come and say hi to us! and of course renew your membership la! Haha.

Hello everyone. Summer holidays must have been great right? To all newcomers, welcome to Melbourne!

The new semester is gonna start soon! Just a reminder to those who are still enjoying!

As most of you know that this week is an orientation week, MUMSU will be setting up a booth at the Lemon Scented Lawn (opposite C1) on Wenesday (20th Feb) and Thursday (21st Feb) from 11am till 4pm.

The exact location of our booth is MUMSU’s Table Booth. We will be at table 7 and 8.

If you miss out on these 2 days, don’t worry as we will still be setting up a table booth from the 25th till the 29th of Feb from 12-2pm. The location will be opposite STA travels in Campus Centre (just look out for the Malaysian flag)!

To those who are new to MUMSU and would like to find out more about us, you could drop by at our booth at that time and we would assist you to our best. To our old members who would be in the campus on those two days, please feel free to drop by and visit us too.

Hey all… This is your ex-Info Officer here. This could probably be my last post

We need all the photos that we can get for the Annual Dance & Dinner held last Friday at Melbourne Aquarium.

We hope that you all enjoyed the night thoroughly and if there are anything which causes dissatisfaction to you, we would like to apologize for it.

Overall, in my opinion, it was a great night. Scrumptious and delicious 3 course meal, exciting and seductive performance (*wink), lotsa prizes given out and a whole bunch of happening and sporting people in the crowd.

The MUMSU 2007 board would like to thank you all again for making it a memorable night for all of us. We hope that you had as much fun as we all do.

If you all have any pictures from the ball which you would like to share, please post up the links to the photos either at the shoutbox on our website or else email to us at mumsuclub@gmail.com.

Till then, enjoy the mid-sem break!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were not able to receive the ball tickets on time. Therefore, we would like to apologize to those who came to our booth this afternoon to collect the tickets.

The good news is that we’ve received the printed tickets right now and you all will be able to collect it tomorrow from our booth, same time and same location. Please remember to bring along your receipt as you do so.

• At the moment, there are only 5 tables left. Many of the tables are already taken. So, if any of you are interested in getting a table, please get it as soon as possible.

• Those who do not have a full table yet, you are encouraged to make the payment first and get the remaining seats later on.
• For those who do not have any tables to join, don’t worry about that as we would do our best to fit you in.
• We will not be increasing the number of seats despite the good response, as we’re already subsidizing heavily on the ticket price.
• Please make your payment for the ball by 14th of September, which is next Friday.

The ball is approaching as we speak of now. Therefore, we hope that those who are really interested, please come forward to our booth opposite STA Travel, from Monday till Friday, between 12pm till 2pm, to secure a seat for yourself.
