Raya Haji , Mooncake and First Years Welcoming !



The night of September 26th 2015 was surely a memorable one for all MASAT members that attended the Raya Haji, Mooncake and First Years Welcoming event. It was an event that left us all full with food, laughters, new friendships and sweet memories.

Welcoming the members to the event

The event was held at the  Multi Faith Centre of UofT St. George. Although it was scheduled to expect arrivals from members at 6.00 pm, being Malaysians as we are, a handful of members showed up at around 6.30 pm. Registration fee of 10CAD were collected from all members at the registration table by our lovely MASAT's Treasurer and Secretary, Vyn Gie and Viatrix.

Albeit we were running behind schedule, our admirable President, Faris are able to give a short and simple speech which was then continued with the introduction of the new first years students as per MASAT's yearly tradition. We welcome a total of 9 first years both from UofT St. George and UofT Missisauga.

In order to complete our MASAT Executive Committee, first year representative were elected that evening. Thiiban managed to win the audience by his powerful and inspiring speech and thus are elected to be the first year representative for 2015/2016 term. Congratulations Thiiban!

At 7.00 pm, the event continued on with a speech from Amin, our Vice-President about the announcement of the new Mcard and MPlanner followed by MBazaar announcement by our Cultural Officer, Amier .

The aroma of all the foods filled the air and made everyone eager to dig in. When all of the announcements are made, attendees are welcomed to enjoy the food brought by everyone (since it is a potluck-style event) . We were served with all kinds of food; pulut kuning, rendang ayam, kuzi ayam, rendang daging (from Malay Kitchen), nasi impit, kuah kacang, bihun goreng, mee goreng, roti jala, kari ayam and many more. As a dessert, we had mooncakes, chocolate oreo cake, cekodok pisang, kuih sagu and of course the highlight of the food mania was the air jagung! The attendees dined delightfully until 8.30 pm.

Makan time!


After everyone was energized with the food, it was time to start the game sessions. We played two games in which both games emphasized on getting to know the people around and having fun. The main activity hall was surely filled with a cacophony of laughters and tears (of joy of course) which definitely made all of our MASAT members feels closer together.

Game on!


We wrap up the game at 9.45 pm and ended the event with a group photo of all of the MASAT members.
