Quoted below is a letter sent to us by MASCA Victoria regarding upcoming events that are happening in Melbourne. If you are looking for internships or career development, do have a look.

We feel that it is our responsibility to spread the word out this very useful information to as many students as possible. The application deadlines are really soon. Hence, it would be best to inform the students as soon as possible. Please forward this message to all your friends. I would also like to remind the relevant Malaysian Student Associations to please forward this message to their respective mailing lists as well. Lack of interested participants may cause some companies to pull out.

Thank you.

Clarification
Now this is very very very important so pay great attention here. Previously we mentioned to meet at 4:30am. That doesn’t mean that you should start walking out of your house that time. It literally and seriously mean that your ass should be somewhere near our buses at Robert Blackwood Hall by 4:30am. We will be departing at 4:45am and we will NOT wait for anybody.

To avoid confusion, I have constructed the list again as below…

Time: 4.00-4.30 am (no shit, you better be there)
Departing: 4:45 am
Date: Friday, 28th July 2006
Meeting Point: Robert Blackwood Hall (Same as Easter Camp)

Addition
Previously on our Hard Gay version email sent this morning, there was an item missing on the check list. I hereby include the missing item in bold as well as the rest of the list.

• sunglass or ski goggle (you may be glaring into the sun while skiing)
• Waterproof gloves
• Warm clothing
• A few pairs of socks (your socks will be wet and smelly very easily)
• Parka & pants (rentable from lodge)
• Some snacks (preferably not messy – lodge cleanliness is priority). Instant noodles and stuff can only be good. There won’t be anything to eat after dinner with nearest shops like 300 kms away.
• Money for renting equipment & lunches. For prices of hiring equipments, please refer to here.
• Don’t worry about sleeping bags, the rooms are well heated and have pillows and blankets. And if you still feel very cold, there’s *still* a human heater named Benjamin for all the girls. XD

WOOOHOOOO!! Hard gay~ OKAY! *insert random crotch movement here* (A Japanese show if you don’t know, search Youtube). I know you are really excited about this, so am I. Can’t wait to run over all of you with my snowboard…. or vice versa. Anyway, here’s a very important check list and of course, the gathering details on this friday.

Check list:

• Waterproof gloves
• Warm clothing
• A few pairs of socks (your socks will be wet like every 30 seconds)
• Parka & pants (rentable from lodge)
• Some snacks (preferably not messy – lodge cleanliness is priority). Instant noodles and stuff can only be good. There won’t be anything to eat after dinner with nearest shops like 300 kms away. Actually, make it LOTS of snacks. I want some.
• Money for renting equipment & lunches. For prices of hiring equipments, please refer to here. And same as above, I want some too.
• Don’t worry about sleeping bags, the rooms are well heated and have pillows and blankets. And if you still feel very cold, there’s a human heater named Benjamin for all the girls. XD

And now the most important details:
Time: 4.30 am (no shit, you better be there)
Date: Friday, 28th July 2006
Meeting Point: Robert Blackwood Hall (Same as Easter Camp)

Yes, you read right, its 4.30 am on Friday morning, not Saturday morning. That means the morning right after Thursday night 11:59pm. Please be aware of that, and that you will have to make arrangements if you have classes you can’t afford to miss on Friday.

Again, be on-time…. or I will suffocate you with my underwear.

See you on friday!

Yes, for those who know about this, it’s here again. For those who don’t, it’s still here again. Anyway, it’s the event by MUISS where clubs bring you a bit of food or culture from our home countries. So what is MUMSU doing? We’ll be selling Fu Chuk Yi Mai (Barley Drink) and Soy Bean + Grass Jelly Drink. Yummie? We’ll be opening our stall from 11.30am to 2.00pm on Wednesday and Thursday next week. Details are as follows.

Date: 2nd August 2006 (Wednesday) – 3rd August 2006 (Thursday)
Time: 11.30am – 2.00pm
Location: Lemon Scented Lawns, Outside Campus Center
Poster: Here

So don’t miss out!
