a spot of tugging

the evening came with large ominuos rain clouds hovering overhead, threatening to postphone the event for yet another day.


still, the calm weather prevailed and although the monash sports carnival was to have ended the previous week, we participated in its final event - tug of war.


there was a total of.. THREE teams participating in this event and we had to go through two rounds to clinch the title of "tug of war champions".


the other teams were the student association of monash and erm.. a bunch of friends calling themselves the rojak team or something.


what can mbc do against such opponents but to win. and fast.


musa photographer temme lee exclaims, "why did you guys have to win so fast? it was over in just 4 seconds and all i could take was a photograph or two!".


the whistle sounded and we started tugging. the strategy was to place our biggest and baddest man (sesshy) at the anchor position (the back) and tug our hearts out to the cries of our president, "kill them all! kill them aaalllll!!"


the field was a little mucky due to the rainy season and those who faced us soon found themselves sliding over the soggy ground. i contrived to remain spotless as i had to fetch qianyi from the ktm station afterwards.

flower power..

..was the theme for this semester's networking party - hosted by the monash business club and attended by its members, their friends, representatives from monash university's student association, and others. the theme was meant to extend to dressing, and even accesories.

the evening started off with the activities crew leading us into our first game, which was an icebreaking session between party-goers. it involved a sheet of paper with boxes. in each box there is a requirement. if a friend meets that requirement, you get him/her to sign the box and once you get a row [or was it two?] you win a prize. some of the requirements were: can do 20 push-ups, can down 2 cans of coke, and can do a dirty dance.

and presenting the winner - mr dirty dancer himself

after dinner, which comprised of the old favourite [same with last semester] nasi lemak plus curried chicken and other condiments, everyone settled down to listen to a few instructions on the next game. after some lengthy preparations and such, the game was to be a form of charades. group members guessed what they thought sesshy was acting out. or something. haha. maybe you should see for yourself:

the next game required a little more physical exertion. groups were spread out about the room. on one side, members were blindfolded and spun around a few times for good measure. on the other side, members were sat down on a chair, blindfolded, and what's worse.. they got their wrists tied together. tables and chairs were scattered between the two ends. and the game began..

needless to say we chose the right man as musa president. so, erm.. gungho.

next, we had a few rounds of best dressed [you dressed all flowery. guys. you sure deserve somethin] pageant thing. and after that, the groups all showed their creative side as they were to present a sketch on the spot.






the laughter from presenting the sketches basically summed up the night's events - a bunch of people, brought together under the red and white of mbc, doing something crazy and having a good time.







congrats to the various groups who participated whole-heartedly and went through the night with us. a big THANK YOU to all who came and made the party alive and happening - it wouldn't be the same without you. XD
party on~

p.s. thanks to the security guards who waited for us to clean up after the party and stuff. of course it helps if they have an added incentive..
