Groovy Movie Monday

Image
Salam, Kia ora, Hello! The Bersatu Games are coming up pretty soon and WMSO hopes to minimise the athletes' burden by financially supporting them a little. Plus, we miss everyone and we feel like everyone deserves a pat on the back for almost completing a/another uni trimester. We figured that the best way to resolve these issues of ours is to have a casual meetup, especially in these wintry days in Welly. So, wanna help your comrades out the fun way? How does a movie-watching get-together sound? ;) Title : Night at the Museum 2 : Battle of the Smithsonian Day/te : Monday 25th May 2009 Time : 8.15pm onwards Ticket : $12/person Contact : Apo or Mika or our email - by Monday 10am! Still unsure? Recite this : " I MUST WATCH MOVIE WITH WMSO ON MONDAY! " ...at least a dozen of times ;) If you've decided to come, spread the word and drag your friends along (if they're unsure, repeat the same line for better influence effect)! The more the merrier, as they say. L

Salam, Kia ora, Hello! We had 7 teams competing at the Rec Centre at Massey Uni today for our 2009 Mixed Futsal event. Suffice to say... It. Was. a Blast. Although the event started a bit later than the tentative 10am, the turn up was good and the weather outside was very pleasant. Looks like the heavens are still with us since our first sports event of the year ( Mixed Netball ). Alhamdulillah. Without further ado, let's get on to the juicier stuff. Here's the 411 on the gold, silver, and bronze winners: 1st : Ahmad Faruqi (Poqy)'s team - "Kaki Bangku" 2nd : Che Mohd Ridhwan (CMR)'s team - "Zombie Kg. Pisang" 3rd : Syafiq Ikhwan's team - "Lubuk" Best players: Male - Faiz Yatim (Lennon); Female - Wan Ling Congrats to those who won medals, and we hope everyone who attended our humble (but awesome) event had a fantastic time.

Salam, Kia ora, Hello! According to our member-info database, some member names did not have with them contact details (phone number and/or email), which we are quite concerned about.

We want you to get WMSO updates that are untouched, unfiltered, uncensored, all that stuff. Basically put, we want you to know what's up with us directly from us .
