Our activities...

Hi all…

Our club had successfully carried out our Secondhand Book Sale from Week 1 to Week 3. In case you are not sure about how our Book Sale works, here you go...

All students (YOU! You! and YoU!) who wish to get rid of their old textbooks can bring them along to our booth (Don’t worry.. We won’t help you to burn your textbooks =p). Then, our dedicated members will help you to SELL your textbooks (Of course handling fees will be charged accordingly). So, all you need to do is to sit back and pray that someone will purchase it. Hahaa!!

However, for those who wish to purchase secondhand books instead of the expensive new ones, you can visit our booth and hunt for the best deal. Well, we had collected hundreds of books for the past three weeks. Unfortunately, many of the outdated books were unsold... Sorry...

On the other hand, we are also having a recruitment drive (This activity is still going on until end of Week 4). Any interested students who haven’t sign up or renew your membership, please do so by registering yourself at our booth (at lower foyer) TODAY!! Registration fee is RM 5 only!!

On top of that, we are selling our Networking Party tickets as well. RM 8 for members and RM 10 for the Non-members. Well, you might ask why this is slightly more expensive compared to the previous semester. Okay, the reason why is, we are serving you a variety of food! There will be pizza, spaghetti, drinks and more!! Besides, fun and exciting games are waiting for you as well! So, please rush to our booth and grab the tickets NOW!!

Thank you for visiting our blog. Stay tuned for more updates.

By the way, I’m Jeannie. Your newly appointed MBC webmaster.

*Cheers*

hey all!

how're the holidays treating you all? mine's been cold.. a wintery christmassy season up here in calgary, canada. quite different from the dreary malaysian weather. i hear it's been consistently raining back home and make sure you take care on those slippery roads aight?

got a mail from the monash management and it goes a lil something like this:

"Monash Malaysia Open day will be held on 16 December 2006, from 10-5pm and the management was wondering whether MBC will be able to set up a booth to sell Monash merchandises. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation."

i've referred the booth matter to our activities, public relations, and mmshop heads. hopefully we'll be able to gather those who are free (some of you have jobs so this activity isn't mandatory!) to generate some holiday revenue for the club! there are also some perks for those who come to help out.. heheh.. ;p

either respond to the emails from your heads (which should be coming soon), or through this blog, if you are interested in participating.

adios compadres

see you guys next year. the trip has been postponed due to insufficient planning time. like, i seriously doubt if we can get 40 people to go along with us in only a week. that, and all the payments and stuff. well, fret not, the mbc trip will be making a comeback real soon. so hang on to your examination seats and write away. for those who've finished, happy holidays.

hello and welcome *edited*

to another year here at mbc. yes, it's still 2006 but a new committee has already been chosen for the coming year! after a undergoing a strict screening process involving making a speech and getting people to vote for us, here are the members of our new committee!
