MSO Laser Tag, posted by James @ 17.9.07

Last Sunday, 15th September, we visited Fivedock for an experience many of us hadn't been through before. We met at Railway Square where we had to waited for the bus (we missed the one we'd planned to take, so I have to highlight this). Our usually Malaysian-styled socialising without even being introduced tooked it's course.

When we arrived at Fivedock, we ventured our way through the very-un-Malaysian area and finally found Zone Laser. 3 games were planned out and when called, we were briefed on the safety and boringness of laser tag. Each person was given equipment which had a nickname programmed into it.

We realised our first game involved a group of individuals we can only label as "the birthday party" - a dozen kids aged 8-10 joined our massive frenzy of laser tagging. Needless to say, we got served.

Our second game was a more enjoyable one as we were able to experience it amongst ourselves. A hard-pressing 20 minute battle between the Red team (which I can label as the Space team due to the players' intergalactic-themed nicknames) and the Blue team (nicknames based off various random characters ranging from 'King Arthur' to 'Minnie Mouse'). The outcome of the first game was red team winning with 41,050 points versus Blue team's staggering 36,250 points. The hero aliased 'Eclipse' was top scorer ranking 1 of 18!! Oh, and our dear Sports Officer, Amanda scored bottom points!

The third game followed with more tactics and planning preparation between the teams. We broke lots of rules crawling, jumping and rolling. The outcome of this game, was Blue Team winning with 40,450 points only 300 points ahead of Red Team with 40,150 points! Once again, among the two teams, 'Eclipse' was ranked at number 1 and Amanda a.k.a 'Lancelot' was ranked 21 of 21!

It was an exciting event, and I would like to thank our sports officers for organising this event and everyone who participated. It was mainly the competitiveness (also known as kiasu-ness) that caused the major success of this event.

Signing off, James a.k.a 'Eclipse' :D

Malaysia Festival, posted by Eukit @ 14.9.07









The long awaited Malaysia Festival was a festival held at Tumbaloong Park, Darling Harbour on 26th of August and turned out to be a success! At the festival there were many stalls by restaurants mostly selling Malaysian and Chinese Cuisine and tasted fantastic! In addition there were wonderful performances on the stage located in the center of the festival. This was a whole day event starting from 10am and lasting till 5pm. This was a relaxing event that allowed people to taste great Malaysian food and also have an idea of how vast and great Malaysian culture is, through the performances and dramas.



Here is a picture of one of the dramas performed

by students from the Malaysian societies of Universities in Sydney. It was about an 'angmoh' that went to Malaysia and learnt alot about the Malaysian culture during that time.

This drama showed the audience Malaysian Culture with its good humour and sophisticated plot, which brought lots of laughter to the event.
Thanks to everyone that came to this festival and made this day special! Hope everyone enjoy it!


Mamak Night, posted by Eukit @


On August 17th we held Mamak Night in the Roundhouse. It was an event where we offered fellow members and the public to taste traditional Malaysian food, which I'm sure we missed very much.
The event was a success, with over 200 people turning up!

The food included: Nasi Goreng, Fried Ayam (Chicken), Satay, Chicken Curry, Veggie Curry and Roti Canai. Here's a picture of Bryant and Yamud serving food, doesn't the food look great? We catered the food from Ivan's Fernery, which is a Malaysian restaurant located in the RoundHouse, except from the Roti Canai and the Teh Tarik.


For those that liked the Roti Canai and Teh Tarik you can give your thanks to Yamud (Teh Tarik) and the Prata Boyz from the International House, I personally found it very very tasty =) They've put alot of effort into making it, and it paid off! However we'd like to apologize to the people that did not manage to taste it because of the number of people that came.
We'd like to give thanks to EVERYONE that came! And for those that did not manage to come, don't worry, keep in touch with our upcoming events and we promise you a good time!
