WELLINGTON MALAYSIAN STUDENTS' ORGANISATION

Perhatian kepada semua pelajar pelajar Malaysia yang berada di Wellington, tak kisah pelajar lama, ataupun pelajar baru, anda semua diwajibkan mendaftar dengan WMSO pada hari Selasa  atau  Khamis minggu hadapan, bersamaan 1 atau 3 Mac 2011. Maklumat terperinci ialah seperti berikut: Date: 1st March 2011 (Tuesday) and 3rd March 2011 (Thursday) Time: 11 am - 2 pm Place: Behind Rankine Brown Library, (Kelburn Campus) VUW Fee : CASH ONLY  NZ$10 dollars (renew membership) / NZ$15 dollars (register membership) Mengapa anda  diwajibkan mendaftar dengan WMSO? Registering with WMSO will enable us to identify and help you in case of emergency (i.e: natural disaster) as Malaysian Student Department (MSD) only have the copy of students' details taken from WMSO. Thus, if you DO NOT REGISTER, then your whereabouts will not be in the database and it will make it harder for us (WMSO and other Malaysian agencies) to help you in time of need. Plus, we will be giving REFERENCE N...

You guys still remember about that dinner we had at Istana Malaysia Restaurant last night? It is in the newspaper today, yay! Electronic Bernama Newspaper, actually but still, it counts. So for those who are bloggers, or write on any social networks' notes, you are advised to be extra careful from now on as it is said clearly in this news that action will be taken on inappropriate usage of internet.

Salam, Kia ora, Hello! Tomorrow will be WMSO's first ever event for 2010, and we're pretty sure you don't want to miss being a part of it! :D This event is important because it creates a(n informal) platform to get members to meet or sort out their club registration for those who haven't completed theirs. One of our major aims, however, is to encourage members to build up their leadership & management skills as well as their resume for personal/professional development. The details are thus: Date: March 6th 2010 (Saturday) Time: 10am-12pm Venue: Meeting Rooms 1 & 2, Student Union Building, Kelburn campus. In case you were wondering, morning tea will be served (and you can never go wrong with free food, especially by WMSO ;) ). So all you need to do is bring along your friends, get to know new/old Malaysian students here in Wellington, catch up with the ones you rarely see, and just enjoy yourself. It's going to be a good time to mingle around...

Salam, Kia ora, Hello! So we've gotten some people who've shown interest in coming to M*Night... but we're pretty darn sure a lot more people are coming... they just haven't informed us yet. What about you? ;) Of course, being students ourselves, we totally understand and empathise since it's the final week of the study trimester. Everyone's probably bundled down by courseworks and stuff... other things have to be put aside for a while, eh? Just so you know, this is a reminder that M*Night is happening this coming Tuesday and we are accepting reservations . Please note however, that there's a minor time amendment! To respect Maghrib prayers, the starting time has been shifted to 8.00 pm - 10.30 pm . :) Some people are worried about the 80 seats issue, but rest assured, this is NOT a problem! This number is just an approximation for reservation purposes. The venue we've booked can easily accommodate a larger number, so if more than 80 people ar...

Salam, Kia ora, Hello! You surely must've heard the awesome news by now! But if not, read on: Nasi Lemak is going to be sold on campus! However, these are limited edition products and are only sold tomorrow at Kelburn. Intrigued? Concerned? Ecstatic? Whatever you're feeling, just come on over to our stall tomorrow to find out how finger-lickin' good our Nasi Lemak is. ;) Date: 13 October 2009 (Tuesday) Time: 11.00 AM - 3 PM Venue: Student Union (Kelburn Campus) Make sure you also bring along an empty tummy as well as some cash, because we're not EFPOS-compatible as of yet. ;) Cheers and warm regards, WMSO Committee

Date: 11th June 2009 Time: 4.30 p.m. - 7.30 p.m. Venue: Everton Hall To put it simply, there will be: - Solat hajat - Potluck Dinner - Mini-fundraising (for Bersatu Games) What you will need to bring are: - Prayer equipments (mat, clothes, etc) - Surah Yassin - Food or drinks (desserts and snacks are welcome) - A lil bit o' cash for our Bersatu Piggy Bank So come on over to this event for spiritual and physical benefits ;) See you there, and good luck with the exams!

Salam, Kia ora, Hello! Basically, this entry is about: - WMSO supporters of the Bersatu Games, and - WMSO tees WMSO Supporters As we all know, the Bersatu Games is happening between the 5th-10th July 09 in Palmerston North this year!

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...
