Rated as the 2nd best in Melbourne after Crown Palladium, Sofitel is one of the grandest places in Melbourne to host an event. This year, MUMSU is proud to bring you only the best and nothing less, the MUMSU Ball 2006 at Sofitel! Take a second to imagine this: a beautiful night in the city, in one of the classiest hotels in Australia, spending time in an unique ballroom, looking at your best, spoiling yourselves with a 5-star dinner, having fun with your group of friends… and you think that’s all?! Hell no!

Let me tell you what you will get for $69! Oh wait, you thought it was $80 didn’t you? You said it, we heard it. Through our feedback which indicates that a lot of our members feel that $80 is slightly not so affordable, our committee members have been working EXTREMELY hard just to secure more sponsors for this event which in turn lowered all the ticket prices. You have no idea how much we went through just for you. T___T And yes, even us the committee pay for the ticket at the exact price that you are paying to us.

What do you get you say? Let me break it down to you… So if you’re to get all these stuff yourselves:

- Dinner at 5-star hotel, commonly $30-40.
- Unlimited flow of beverages all night, commonly $10.
- Free after-party, usually around $20.

So that’s like $70 already right? On top of that, we’re giving out:

- Great lucky draw prizes including latest Ipod Nano and Shuffle released just two days ago!
- Awesome performances to keep you entertained all night.
- Lots of vouchers and discount coupons!
- Many many chances to socialize and know the lengchais and lengluis around.

That’s like, well over $100 worth of value we are adding onto our $69 ticket.

Tables are only available on a first-come-first-served basis. That’s why do not wait till the very last minute to confirm your table with us. I’m sure all of you would definitely want one with the best view of the performances on the stage at the night while I assure you that no tables will be suffering from bad angle view. If you do not have enough for one whole table yet, DO NOT PANIC! Talk to our committees or email us back at mumsuclub@gmail.com and we may be able to arrange something for you.

Sofitel is in City ya know, I live in Clayton! How to go and come back?
Sofitel is only 2 mins away from the Parliament Train Station in the city. As for return transport, there are Nightriders (basically a bus service) that operate until 4-ish am that pass by Monash University Clayton. And if you party until any later than that, you can probably grab the earliest train already.

What’s Bedazzled?
1. to dazzle (glitter), enchant
2. movie starring brendan fraser and elizabeth hurley
3. Something shiny… maybe?
4. Mumsu Ball 2006
5. Pay first, think later.

Only MUMSU members can go?
Of course… no! Anyone is welcomed to join our events. If our Malaysian club is consisting of more than just Malaysians, what makes you think that we will restrict this to our members anyway?

See you there in our biggest and final event of the year — the MUMSU Ball 2006!

Ladies and gentlemen, yes this is it: The final BIG event of the year by the committee that has brought you the many memorable ones so far. Yes, it’s our Annual Dinner & Dance 2006. This year, we’re making it grand, we’re making it big. The venue is none other than the 5-star hotel right in the heart of the city, Sofitel Melbourne. What that means is pure grandeur, and an amazing number of places to take the photos that you’ll cherish for years to come. And if that isn’t enough, we do our best to make sure our Annual Ball is never just your typical ‘boring’ fare. For that, you’ll just have to come and see for yourself. So come celebrate with us, and be part of what will be a blast!

The theme this year is Bedazzled, so come dressed to dazzle, or with just a dash of glitter. We want this to be YOUR night to be a star…
