Only 3 more weeks….

Only 3 more weeks to Warwick MSA’s Malaysia Night!

Photobucket
Our theme for this year’s Malaysia Night is “Home”. With all of us being miles away from our home, this year’s theme is sure to be one most of us will be able to relate to. Without giving too much away, this year’s play centres on a young man who was born in Malaysia but raised in the UK. He embarks on a journey back to his homeland to discover the truth about his past. Along the way, he meets an unforgettable cast of characters that show him what it means to be Malaysian by leading him through various exciting dances that imbue the traditional with a touch of modern.

Malaysia Night 2009 will be held on the 7th of February (Saturday) at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry from 7pm (seating at 6.30pm) onwards. The tickets are on sale now and can be bought online via the Belgrade Theatre website http://www.belgrade.co.uk/site/scripts/show_details.php?showID=282 or through the Warwick Malaysian Students Association by email: warwickmalaysianight2009@gmail.com Dinner which will be a dinner buffet featuring a wide spread of Asian cuisine will be held at the MYO restaurant located close to the Belgrade Theatre. Anyway, the ticket categories and pricing are as follows:

  • Dinner Tickets (inclusive of admission to the show) : £17
  • Show Tickets (for university students) : £10
  • Show Tickets (MSA members price): £8

PLEASE NOTE that the Dinner Tickets and the £8 show tickets for MSA members are only available for sale through Warwick MSA and cannot be purchased via the Beglrade Theatre’s website.

To all the actors, actresses, dancers and of course the dikir barat team, keep up the good work! Make Malaysia Night 2009 a success!! To all the other members, it’s not too late to get involved! If you’re interested do let us know! *hint hint: there’s no such thing as “there are too many people in the dikir barat team”* ;p
To everyone else out there, I hope to see all of you guys on the 7th of February!

Thus far…

Are you guys still alive and surviving? ;p we sure hope so because we have so many more plans ahead for you guys! So far, we’ve had a successful welcoming social with quite a huge turnout. The freshers looked well fit in with everyone else and i’m sure everybody enjoyed Kak Shidah’s homecooked nasi beriyani, currypuffs and popiahs!

We are also proud to announce that the Warwick MSA Executive Committee 2008/2009 is now complete! The elections which were held in last week together with the annual AGM was a competitive one with many first years running for the unfilled posts. The enthusiasm shown by the members is a good sign of things to come and we hope that everyone keeps this spirit up! (You’ll need it for all the looonng Mnight Practices! ;p ) We’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate the newly elected committee members! To see the full list of the Exec Committee 08/09 please proceed to ”the committee” tab)

Aside from that, the Mentor-Mentee program is also now up and running. A Mentor-mentee dinner will take place tonight at Nandos, Coventry in hopes of allowing the mentors to bond with their mentees and also for everyone elese to get to know each other better. So mentors, grab you mentees and drag them to Nandos! Don’t miss this opportunity to get to know them because you’ll never how much a helping hand makes a difference some times.

The Production Team Recruitment Drive for Warwick Malaysia Night 2009 was aslo conducted this week. Kudos to those who turned up for the interview. For you guys out there who were not able to make it for the recruitment drive, fret not! There are still positions up for grabs. All you need to do is email us and let us know which position you’re interested in and we will provide you with further details. You could also get in cotact with our Cultural Officers Jin or En Li for more information.

Next week, we’ll be having auditions for performers (musicians, actors/actresses, dancers etc.). An email will be sent out very shortly with more details so keep an eye out for that email! We welcome anyone who is interested in performing. Remember, it doesn’t matter if you’ve never had experience in performing! Just try out because you’ll never know what the future holds! (well.. not really anway :p)

Until next time!
