altogether now.. mbcccc!

for the uninformed, or for those who didn't walk into the foyer at all for the past week, monash's club and societies week was held on tuesday and wednesday. i think. the monash business club was there all the while lah.

we've been there for the past two weeks receiving and selling second hand books (includes a small fee of rm5 for book handling), offering book wrapping services (rm1.50 per book), taking in new members at rm9.90 a year (rm0.10 processing fee), and selling tickets to the networking party (rm 8 non-member rm 6 member)! we're still gonna be there this week to sell said tickets, and maybe extend the recruitment drive. but that's up to laura i guess.

come one and all! party tickets purchased so far: 50!

get your party tickets from the booth in the foyer (or near the financial counter)! also, come for the general meeting on tuesday to find out more about the departments you've joined and meet your department heads!


oh and if you've sold second hand books through the booth, come by the mmshop anytime these two weeks (13th - 24th march) to collect your money! or if your book hasn't been sold, collect your old books lah! and notes. heaps of them are clogging up the mmshop and getting in the way of the spring cleaners.

so during the clubs and societies week, they had this competition going on see? best booth and what not. and i must admit there were some tough competition. costa (movie making communications faculty club thing) had a projector and were showing off their advertisements and short clips they filmed. the biotech club taped squiggly white things on the floor throughout the foyer. a publicity gimmick i guess. hah! a member of theirs must have taken marketing as an elective.


but i guess the clubs weren't just judged based on how big their booths were. or how busy it looked. or how many new members they had registered. because we would have won outright. no, they were also judged on.. i dunno, having a club t-shirt?

or was it how much profit we made?

it was the day of the storm. the winds swept in rainwater and leaves, wetting the whole foyer. the trees around sunway and subang, and a couple of booths, fell against the torrential downpour. it was then that the results announced the culmination of two weeks of hard work. the setting up and pulling down of the booth, the heaps and heaps of books that had to be carried to and from the mmshop, the promoting, the sales, the haranguing. to use the words of president wee, "WE WOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN"
