A second session was held yesterday as a sequence to the previous one. Similar number crunching session and discussion on a case study followed by group presentation was held. This time around two representatives from Deloitte were also present and prove to be useful to answer questions regarding work in the accountancy field. We hoped members found the session useful and extend our appreciation for supporting the event. Here are some pictures! :)

Warwick MSA had the opportunity to hold a discussion on the use of “Allah”, a topic which is currently followed closely by the media in Malaysia.

The speaker, Imran Mustafa Abdul Khudus, is a friend of an MSA member and a third year student at Imperial College. The discussion started off by sharing his perspective on the issue in a factual and historical context. Interesting points were brought up during the discussions which broaden the scope of the discussions, allowing more understanding and making the discussion enjoyable.

We would like to extend our appreciation to Imran and Akmal Amri and to members who attended the discussion.

Last Wednesday, Warwick MSA hosted a business game session with The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) for members who are keen in finding out more about career in chartered accountancy. The session was designed to cover important issues employers are looking for such as commercial awareness, presentation skills, mathematical skills, team working and communication skills and highlight how chartered accountants act as business advisers and not just on ‘money matters’; it gives you a brief insight into becoming an ACA chartered accountant.

In this session, members participate in a game to plan business strategy and value risk, giving them an insight on what chartered accountants are expected to do. Have a look at the pictures :)

Another session will be held and details are as follow:

A welcome back social was held for everyone to chit chat and share their holiday stories. However, this time we took a different apporach and picked a theme for it: colour blind. With rendang served with hot steamy rice, what else is better to fill yup your stomach on a cold winter night. Several video clips made by the late Yasmin Ahmad was played followed by a few games.

The official Malaysia Night website is now officially launched! For a sneak preview, details and ticketing click:

A keropok lekor work shop was held in Liberty Park. Thank you, Liberty Park residents for hosting us and Kak Su for teaching us!

Other events include a day trip  to Bicester Village for a shopping spree. We also had the honour to host once again a Career Talk by our own alumni, Joshua Ting. We are grateful for the effort and time spent in giving us insight about tips on getting internships and we take this opportunity to congratulate him on getting married later this year.

more updates coming soon!

Nottingham Games 2009 was definitely one memorable day. Our contingent of two buses left Warwick at 6am- we were sleepy, half-soaked for those without umbrellas, but nevertheless in high spirits and decked in our bright red shirts and hoodies! Some of us left for Nottingham early before the weekend.

We are proud to have sent players for football, netball, basketball, badminton, squash, snooker, tennis, pingpong, chess, batu seremban and even congkak!

Effort, teamwork and time well-spent training was rewarded by the victories of our netball team and squash for girls by Ng Hui Mei - both champs. Our footballers also did a great job by going into the quarter finals against Manchester Metropolitan University. On top of it all, we are awarded for being the most sporting contingent of all MSAs in the UK. Well done everyone!

Nothing could have beat the sight of red-clad Warwick supporters cheering their hearts out for our teams all the way through.

The day in Nottingham was perfected by the presence of Malaysian food, and, as anticipated, everyone  indeed succumbed to the irresistible food. A stall opened by our own MSA members definitely was one of the most popular stalls around!

We would like to congratulate our players for their participation and extend one big BIG thank you to everyone who attended or supported, in any way, the Warwick MSA contingent to Nottingham Games 2009!

See you guys on the bus next year!
