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.

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.

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.

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

Hello our dearest followers!
Last weekend, we organised the Games Day in collaboration with the previous Execs (2014/15) as the first event so that we can bond together as well as learn on managing an event. Being the fresh Execs, we learned a lot on that day and understand that it was not as easy as it may seem on event management. The Games Day was also our first collaboration with the UofT Board Games Club so that we have variety of board games to play. Also, we have variety of video games console such as PlayStation 4, Nintendo Wii and the classic Jeopardy game. Not to forget, we had MasterChef too where contestants had to prepare a dish of Canadian and Malaysian food fusion.
That's all for now! Till next time... Have a nice day!

Every year, members of the committee gathers by for the biggest meeting of the year that is the Annual General Meeting, where the financial report being presented, and the highlights of every events of the year. Also, on this meeting, the voting of the new Executive Members takes place. This year, the Election Commission was lead by Anas Faris and assisted by Ahmad Zahir, Muzakkir Mohamed and Fathuddin Romeli. The Election Commission refined the last year's method of election that is the online voting with the addition of secured website where members could nominate candidates, as well as read their manifestos online and ask the candidates questions on the website itself. This shows how far we have improve since the first AGM where the members voted using the count of hands.
Here are some of the photos from the event!

Teach For Malaysia (TFM) is now accepting applications to its 2015 Fellowship cohort! If you are wondering what TFM is, it's a non-profit organization that addresses the education inequity problem, happening in our beloved Malaysia. We always see the brighter side of the spectrum, but in reality there are thousands of young kids that can't afford or didn't have the resource to get a good education, which is the single factor that determine their future. Teach For Malaysia believes that this problem is one of the greatest and most urgent challenges in our country and the world today.
