Committee '09/'10

Malaysians of Melbourne University Committee Members for 2009/2010

President

Brendan Tong

Shown here with bloggerKenny Sia. Bad experience, had been straight ever since

Hello fellow MoMu-ans,

My name is Brendan Tong and I am your 4^th (and also the 1^st Male :P) President for this club. I don’t know how I am going to fare in my position as compared to the previous fair ladies before me but I promise I would not disgrace my fellow genders at the very least. ( I could do with more support here, guys!) 

For those of you who may like to know me better, I am a kampung boy from grand ole’ Sarawak and more specifically, a little town called Sibu. I am also currently doing my 3^rd Year in Architectural Studies so if you can’t find me taking a breather over a latte at the Union House, just come up to the 4^thlevel of the Architecture building and you would be sure to find me there laboring over my models (and no, not the ones on two legs ,I know what you all are thinking, guys!) with my hands covered in glue. Just remember not to shake hands with me unless you want to be stuck with me for the rest of the day! 

Like any Presidents; whether it be one of a club, an association or a nation, the first priority would be to make good the promises made before the election. Believe me, brains are being picked, ideas stormed and avenues sourced as we speak, to put our plans into gear to make this club work for you. All we need from you is your support in our objectives, your participation in our activities and your feedback on the results; regardless of whether it is one to boost our ego or lower our morale. If we have done a good job, do be generous with your compliments and give us that pat on the back and if we fail in your expectation, then let us know how we can do it better next time. Better still, come show us how! We welcome your input. 

I am very hopeful that with all your continued support and blessings, MoMu will continue to thrive and be the club that we can all believe in to make our university life a truly eventful one. 

So why wait? Come join us and give us a chance to show you some clean fun and true Malaysian hospitality!

HARLOW,

I'm Ai Ming. I'm in my 3rd year of Commerce & Arts degrees. I'm with MoMU since I was in my first year. I was the Publicity Officer, then the Publicity Director and now i'm the Secretary of the club. oh, I'm from Seremban (NOT KL) but it's only 45 mins away from KL.

I am the one sending out emails and communicating with you guys. I guess you guys may have noticed that I sometimes do make silly mistakes in the emails i sent out. i shall apologize before hand. I would double and even triple check verything many many times before i click "send" in order to avoid confusions. I promise I would try my best to get the information out to you guys as efficiently and as effortlessly as possible.

What else can I say, if there's anything you need, we would be more than happy to help. all you need to do is drop us a friendly email

Treasurer

Wilcent Chua

Yo,Wilcent here

Yess my name is spelt Wil-C-E-N-T….Don’t ask me why…lol

I am the Treasurer of MoMU 09/10. Currently, 3^rd year, doing Bachelor of Chemical Engineering and Commerce. I originated from Johor Bahru and this is my 4^th year in Melbourne (one year in Trinity).

Basically, I have nothing much to do besides counting the money that the club have, preparing financial reports and also issuing cheques. I will try to keep the prices of our event as low as possible by working closely with the activity department. Hope to have an enjoyable year ahead!

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask me. I may appear “stuck up” and arrogant but once you get to know me, you will know that I can’t shut up.

AND… I miss my dog.

Activities Director

Audrey Ng

Hi guys!

My name’s Audrey, second-year Science (Chemistry) student and I’m yourActivities Director for 09/10. As much as I love my C-C double bonds and benzene rings (scoffs), I also love to have fun! If you’ve got any questions (or even suggestions) regarding our events, please feel free to talk to me. I don’t bite, regardless of what some other ppl may tell you. Heh. However, if you see me power-walking to/in/around uni (which I tend to do just a littleee too often), it probably isn’t a good time. Any other time would be just fine. Hope to see you guys at our events!

Publicity Director

Salihah Kamal

Hey folks I'm Salihah, the publicity director and I'll be promoting all of MoMU's events so you'll be seeing me around and if you don't that means I'm not doing my job. feel free to walk up to me and talk, no matter what the content. the only thing you need to know is that I'm a Juventus fanatic.

Asistant Publicity Director

Mah Jun Yeu

Hi MOMUians!

I'm Mah Jun Yeu, your assistant publicity director 09/10. First of all, I would like to wish MOMU a great year ahead, and also to all members and the committee. Having this role, I will try to not only help the committee pass on messages to the members but also help bring forward the voices of the members to the committee so we can truly be ONE club. I feel that publicity is more than just chalking and decor. It's a form of expression of the club. The publicity of a club is what people see the club to be. It is the outermost layer, the shell of the club. However, this does not say that the planning part is not as important. We all know that without a strong core, everything breaks apart. So, I'm asking all of you MOMUians out there to support us in bringing MOMU forward because, as members, YOU are the centre of our club. Let us continue our tradition as MOMUians to share our Malaysian culture, and let it not be streaking.... (memories of prosh week)

Wanna know a little about me? I'm from Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Studying mechanical engineering. I play squash (LOVE THE GAME), badminton, football and i'm interested to try out almost any sport. Sports ROX! I'm also a little into photography. I play the piano and guitar. Do some song writing. =D Love Malaysian foood! (who doesn't?) teh ais roxx!!

Truly Malaysian =D,

Jun Yeu

Sponsorship Director

Mohd Faiz bin Abdul Aziz

Hi there!!

A little something about me you asked? Well, let’s start with my name. I’m Mohd Faiz bin Abdul Aziz or Faiz for short J I’m the usual random boy seen in university campus: walking alone, listening to the iPod, and rushing to class.

Well going into a bit more detailed information, I’m taking mechanical engineering. But I’m really into photography in my spare time. I’m also allocating about an hour or two for gaming in one week. Anyways I hope I can do my bit as the Sponsorship Director to help MoMU in any possible way I can think of. Have a great year everyone!

Assistant Sponsorship Director - Club

Gajanayagam Jeyasundram

Halo!! I am Gajan. I am MOMU’s deputy sponsorship officer. I must say that I love the immense satisfaction of being helpful to others. So, do not feel afraid to approach me if you need any favors or tips especially regarding settling in University of Melbourne. Moreover, it took me an entire semester to actually settle in Melbourne. Hence, I am more than willing to sort out anyone facing that predicament. Lastly, I am eager to make new friends during my tenure in MOMU.

Committee '08/'09

Malaysians of Melbourne University Committee Members for 2008/2009

President 08/09 : Sherlyn Law

Hello MoMU-ans!

I'm Sherlyn Law, the 3rd Miss President :) I'm a "not-so-busy" commerce student who can be found wondering around uni with a huge country road bag. Love to hang out at MoMU table in Union House. Usually spotted wearing a black thick spectacles.

Well, as the President of 2008/09, I give you my word that our new committee will dedicate all our energy and effort to provide members with not only more benefits, but also extra privileges for being members of MoMU. In other words, we will do our very best to organize bigger and better events as well as to expand our sponsorship list *this means more discounts for members!*. So, I hope that you, our treasured members, will continue to give the new committee your full support. And of course, THANK YOU to those of you who have been supporting us all along.

Also, please do not hesitate to give us your comments, be it positive or negative, as we look forward to hear your feedback and opinions on anything and everything concerning MoMU. Don’t worry, we don’t bite. Your feedback is essential to us at MoMU as we value what our members have to say.

Hopefully 2009 will be an amazing year for MoMU, and I am looking forward to see you all at our upcoming events! That’s all from me!

xoxo

Sherlyn

Vice President 08/09 : Albert Wong

Heya Guys! My name's Albert and I'm your VP for 08/09!

I'm in my final year studying to become a Quantity Surveyor in the future!

Basically my hobbies include photography, and online gaming. (World of Warcraft FTW!)

Some details about myself?

Well I'm from Miri! Yes i'm Sarawakian, but lived in Singapore after form 2. Yes I betrayed the country, but yea. I'M STILL MALAYSIAN!

I'm 20 this year.

Anything else you want to know? Just find me at table duty or smthin >.<

Lets have fun in MoMU and hopefully i'll be a good VP? xD

___________________________________________________

Secretary 08/09: Mabel Sia

Peek-a-boo! Wazzup people! This is Mabel, your MoMU Secretary for 2008/2009. By now you would have had me spamming your emails to the brim. And to answer those grumbles, you may be happy to know that my job is to filter spam that come to us, and give you MoMU-ians ‘good’ spam. Confused? Don’t worry. You’re not alone.

On a serious note, my job as secretary revolves around the administration side of MoMU; paperwork, emailing members about our activities, and making sure that MoMU runs on schedule. Roz, my lovely mentor *the previous secretary* has a flair for playing with colours on her emails. Hence, I intend to continue that, in hopes of not boring you people from reading my mail.

Now, about me. Nothing much really. I’m your average Malaysian student who does the norm -2nd year Commerce student. Although, it might spark your interest to note that I hail from Kulim, Kedah. But I live 30 minutes away from Penang so I tend to say I’m a Penangite to avoid those blank, blur looks from people who go “ …err..Kulim where??”

So there’s your Secretary for you. Look out for my emails!

Treasurer 08/09 : AL Zaquan

I'm usually seen around uni with headphones on,one eye shut and conspicuously taking long routes to class (the Zoology trail is quite an adventure),sometimes talking to trees and sleeping hobos,once in a while chasing stray cats.I enjoy photography (wildlife & elderly folk,ie old people on trees),uber-violent cinema and indie rock,parks and aquariums,and am a writer of ponderous fiction and erotic haiku.

As treasurer,I intend to keep this boat floating (financially,at least) and bring more diversity and change to our modestly-sized,but big-hearted club.Any form of feedback is appreciated,and we're infinitely open to new ideas and suggestions (no matter how small,bizarre or outrageous) so do drop us an email if you have something to say,or come say hello (pass us some apples!) if you do spot any of us anywhere.

Publicity Director 08/09 : Ai Ming Chow

ello there!

I'm Ai Ming, coming from Seremban, Malaysia makes me a not-another-Malaysian-from-KL. I'm doing commerce/arts so guess I will be sticking around for quite awhile. I'm the Publicity Director for 2008/2009 with the ultimate mission of publicizing events and the club, informing members what we have to offer.

In order to attract you guys to come to our events, I vow to drain my creativity juice (together with the assistant director and officers of course) to come up with outrageous and effective publicity stunts in the near future. If you happened to see a person walking around in full skiing gear (yesh, the transformers ski boots is a must!) in the campus, that must be us, MoMU publicizing our annual exciting skiing trip.

To make this short, don’t hesitate to say “Hi” or you prefer “Apa khabar?” when I’m in your way, chalking on the floor in front of the Asia Center.Good luck with the studies, y’all~

P/S: Just picture me as "Micheal Scott" and my assistant as "Dwight Schrute" from the hit tv series "The Office" so you can imagine what a great team we will be!

___________________________________________________

Assistant Publicity Director 08/09 : Salihah

Hi everyone, I'm Salihah, your assistant publicity director. I'm currently studying engineering but it's going to be hard to find me in lectures because I never seem to attend them.. Anyway, my duty is to promote all MoMU events and I encourage you to participate in all of the events, it's all done in good fun!

Don't hesitate to ask me anything about MoMU or our events, and hopefully I'll meet whoever's reading this at any upcoming events or our table at Union House.. I'll be especially nice to you if you like Juventus, the greatest team in the world.
