our artistic side

coming soon to a foyer near you, the monash business club membership drive cum 2nd hand book sale! it'll be starting from the 27th, which is when uni starts lah, to the erm 10th i think. yeah. and for those of you who might be new and are wondering where the foyer is, here's a helpful guide prepared by your seniors who have been around for 2 to 3 years: we have no idea either.

seriously, where in the campus does the foyer begin? and where does it end? and can anyone point out the location of the mystical student concourse that shifts its location with the sands of time? back when i was in cimp, i heard the concourse was that strip of concrete connecting the then called 'foyer' with the then called 'cafeteria'. now they have 'new age' names like 'discussion area' and 'food court'.

food price trivia time!
brought to you by mbcjournalist

how much was the hotdog (set) and the burger (set) last year?
answer: 2.00 and 2.20

how much are they now?
2.20 and 2.50

*prices are subject to a 5 percent variability and we are 95 percent confident they are correct

clearly, as you are, i am flabbergasted at this turn of events. let us, as a united student body, rise up and boldly speak against the corporate profit mongers. let us defend our right to cheap and filling food. let us go outside and eat lah. i heard one 2 eat (orange shop) is doing well.

but i digress. before we present to you the drive and the sale, the blog brings you the prep.

making a booth backdrop is tedious work


the mbc legacy - the bookshelf

making your own t-shirt is more tedious

but there's a sense of achievement lah

and since we like danny so much, here's one of him hard at rest

rachel's finger pallette. hey don't laugh she's the best shirt painter among us

the final product. and mbc's tentative new catchphrase!

many thanks to those who came, helped, and bore witness to mbc's staunch logic - if we make our own shirts, we save money! we tear our hair out in frustration but, hey! more money for us! hooray!

moral of the story: where does the money go to hmm?

orientation!

for those of you who didn't know, monday, the 20th of february, was orientation day for the 1st monashian intake of 2006! the monash business club was there bright and early, at 11, to prepare colourful flyers and cheerful faces to meet and greet the newcomers. of course we went in during the lunch break! what could be more strategic than going in when people are holding plates and cups and can't run away fast enough! haha kidding.

really, mbc thanks all of those who availed themselves to help arrange and distribute flyers. if it were not for you, we would have to place them in one of those box things with the words 'please take one'. and they would be distributed more efficiently that way.

haha. but really. what matters is that the students get greeted and informed about the club. what matters is the human touch. the "hello how are you" and the "we do lots of stuff" and the "can i have your number?". less efficient, but loads more effective.

ps. spread the word! the blog lives through the mouths of the people!

hello all!

a friendly reminder from all of us at the blog, who got reminded by danny, to allocate! all your lectures and tutorials and labs and whatnot need to go someplace right? so make sure you get those times and days that don't clash with your packed social agenda! i mean, as business students we most likely get 1 day off anyway. but you can decide which day! see you in a week!

p.s. happy valentine's!
