Warwick Malaysia Night 2012

 

IT IS HERE!

The most anticipated event of the year is coming soon. Yes. It is the Warwick Malaysia Night 2012. The theme for this year is ECHO. In 2011, the Warwick Malaysia Night was awarded ‘Warwick SU Best Social Event of the Year 2011′. This year, the Warwick Malaysia Night is not just going to meet the expectations set by the year before, but also guarantee the most unforgettable night you will ever experience.

Click HERE to watch the Malaysia Night 2012 trailer.

Synopsis:

“If your past comes back to haunt you, will you fight it, or run from it?”

Set towards the end of the Malayan Emergency, where tension was at an all-high between the National Army and the Communist Party, the launching of a number of guerrilla attacks is being devised. In the midst of this chaos, Lee Na finds herself awake in a hospital, only to realise that she has lost her precious memory from a gunshot to the head. With great determination in search for the truth, she goes back to her village and faces the many challenges presented to uncover her past. Why was she shot? Who can she trust apart from herself? A story of self-discovery, love, war and reflection, the echo of Lee Na’s past will never elude her for the memory of our past lives on forever.

Warwick Malaysia Night, of course, would not be the same without our signature DIKIR BARAT team, and we are proud to say that we are the BEST in the UK! Think you have seen it all?

Held in the 1500-seated Butterworth Hall in Warwick Arts Centre, the largest arts centre in the West Midlands’, Warwick Malaysian Students’ Association gracefully extends a warm welcome to each and every one of you to share and experience an unforgettable evening with us!

End of Term 1 Social

Hey fellow Malaysians,

WELCOME BACK and here comes Term 2!

Last term, Warwick MSA organized an end-of-term social to wrap up an exciting term 1. Tea snacks such as scones, donuts, sandwiches, and hot tea, are served. A movie is also being screened for the members and guests present for the party. The theme of the social was Moustache Bash. People present had the choice to draw moustache based on their creativity and the most creative moustache will be awarded.

It was a time for everyone to finally sit down, relax, and socialize as a hectic term 1 came to a close. It was a last social event before most of us went back to Malaysia for the holidays.

Hari Raya Haji and Deepavali Social

What’s up, everyone?

On the 16th of November 2011, Warwick MSA organized a Hari Raya Haji and Deepavali Social which attracted more than 200 people. We are extremely delighted as those who turned up are not only Malaysians, but also other nationalities who are curious and would like to know more about the Malaysia culture.

 

A festival celebration cannot happen without delicious, mouth-watering food. The Warwick MSA estimated and prepared sufficient food for the event. The main dishes are:

Ayam Masak Merah

Satay

Chapati

Nasi Tomato

and of course, we won’t forget about the all-time favorite:

Sirap Bandung

*Pictures are for illustration purposes only.

Once again, the Warwick MSA committee would like to thank ALL members who came for the social. It will not be a successful an enjoyable event without your active participation.

Nottingham Games 2011

What’s up, everyone?

The largest annual Malaysian sport event ended on the 12th of November. Warwick MSA sent out 11 teams for the event and participated in games such as badminton, football, table tennis, squash, netball, volleyball, lightning chess, lightning snooker, scrabble, congkak, batu seremban.

It was an exciting event especially for the freshers as they had an opportunity to visit Nottingham University as well. The Warwick MSA was assigned a booth to advertise our MNight 2012. The outcome was fairly satisfying with lots of positive feedbacks regarding the beautiful bookmark design. The bookmark is an idea which our president came up with. It contains all the information about out MNight, including the date, time, and location. It was a success, noticing the high amount of people asking for the bookmarks.

This year Nottingham Games was challenging for us. The most anticipated matches were the basketball, football, volleyball, and badminton. We had tough draws. One of them was the matchup against the University of Leeds in the basketball competition. It was unlucky for our basketball team to get kicked out of the competition due to an unfortunate lose to Leeds.

SILVER: Volleyball – Cyrus Lim, Cyrus Mok, Brian So, Jay Ho, Kevan Wong, Karen Lam, Cho Wen Jing, Thum Wei Wen & Athena Ng
