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. We'll update this entry with photos soon, AND We'll upload heaps more images in our online gallery in th...

Welcome back to school. Welcome back to assignments, tutes and lectures. Welcome back to checking out that hot lecture/tutemate (or lecturer/tutor?), trying to not sleep in class, and of course, our 'personal' favorite, juicy events. We've been as busy as you are, planning up a storm to serve you as the official news source for the scandalous eventful lives of Wellington-Malaysian intellects... and do we have news for you! - SPOTTED - a new event on the social calendar! Did the title catch your attention? We sure hope so, because there's nothing we like more than surprising sprucing up your day with updates on the hot and happening ! We heard some people complaining the Easter break was too short; not enough fun time, not enough relax time, not enough personal time... well you get the picture. We hear you, and we agree. So we decided to sizzle things up a little. Here's an inside tip, reader : Futsal 's up next on our execution list, and it's coming up soo...

Salam, Kia ora, Hello! Today, the morning sky was a brilliant watercolorish light blue and the sun (and not to mention the weather forecast) was projecting promising weather ahead. After the clock turned 9am, the court started filling in with several groups as they warmed up while waiting for the arrivals of their team members or of their opponent's. By the time their teammates arrived, the players seemed keen to start while the supporters/bystanders looked just as ready to cheer/jeer at the groups. As soon as the groups in the first match stepped into the ball court, the gameplaying took off wonderfully. The groups were: Putih Sepakiu Lennon Cute Chillex Baby Blue HICOM (visiting group) The matches for today were: League Sepakiu vs Baby Blue Putih vs Chillex Lennoncute vs Sepakiu Putih vs Baby Blue Lennoncute vs Chillex Sepakiu vs Putih Lennoncute vs Baby Blue Sepakiu vs Chillex Lennoncute vs Putih Chillex vs Baby Blue Semi-finals Putih vs Chillex Lennon Cute vs Sepakiu Special ma...

Salam, kia ora, hello! As we all (hopefully?) know, it's the last week before easter break! Only a few more days (or courseworks) away before the jollydays come tumbling around. On that note, what better way to wind down and relax than to join in WMSO's easterly Mixed Netball event this weekend~ :D M i x e d N e t b a l l ~ Date: 11th April 2009 Time: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Venue: Kelburn Court, Salamanca Road [ map ] The main purpose of the league is to provide great opportunities for all of you to get to know each other better and most importantly, have fun ! How to join? Wonderful question! Here's a basic idea of how the games are going to be set. There will be... 7 players for each team 2 boys per team (now now, girls, let's not be too hard on the guys, alright? ;) ) And that's basically all you need to know, really. Don't worry about the rules now, it will be explained to you on the day itself. In other words, as long as you can jump, run, throw and catch a ba...
