Last Saturday, we went to Trimurti Indian Cuisine at Queen St W to celebrate Deepavali. About 30 of us MASAT members went there to have their delicious lunch. And it's buffet, which was awesome, since everyone (especially us Malaysians) loves buffet.

A big thanks to Shannon Scott, a representative from Teach For Malaysia (TFM) who gave a very insightful info session on what TFM is about, its vision and how every single of us can take part in making changes in the state of education in Malaysia.
Far too many Malaysian children are deprived of access to educational opportunities because of where they are born.
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.

We had a major blow to this event. Rain start pouring in on Friday night, and never stop till 6 PM on Saturday (September 21), the day which this event supposed to take place. We had to abandon the original plan of doing the event at the Toronto Island, and use the usual UTSU lawn. And since the rain never stops, it got postponed the next day.
The gloomy weather changed Sunday into a beautiful day, with the sun shines all day; not even a single drop of rain. Apart from fall chill, it was a perfect weather for the BBQ.

Another collaboration with Canada Malay Association Youth (CMAY). This time its for the Islamic Youth Talk that were held last Friday at the Galbraith Building, UofT.
The two speakers invited were:
The two speakers invited were:
- Ustaz Jamir Kodiang who just recently moved to Toronto with his family on July. He has a lot of experiences giving talks in Malaysia at schools and colleges.
- Aiman Azlan who is our very own UofT student, MASAT member and a well-known Youtube vlogger. Check out more of him here: http://www.aimanazlan.com/
After the prayer recitation and some introduction from CMAY representative, Ustaz Jamir started his talk, reminding the audiences (which is mostly our students) about the obligation of a youth in today's world. How the youth will shape the future. What are the things that a great youth should have.
Great turnout at the event. Event started a bit later than the scheduled 2:30 PM (apologize from us as organizer), but I do believe that everyone didn't regret coming to the event.
After the opening prayer recitation by Ustaz Jamir, representatives (in this case, their President) from MASAT, MyMAC and CMA took turn in delivering their speech to about 130 attendees. Then, thanks to Uncle Howard as the owner of Restoran Malaysia; everyone get to taste authentic Malaysian dishes. Among them were 'Kari Ayam', 'Sambal Udang Petai', 'Mee Goreng' and 'Keropok Ikan'. I think I speak on behalf of everyone that I wish I can have the same kind of food everyday here in Canada. But, nevertheless a big big thank you to Uncle Howard. You're the best!
To kick off the year, MASAT will organize an Eid-ul-Fitr celebration on the first week of the school. Collaborating with Canada Malay Association (CMA), Restoran Malaysia, and Malaysian at McMaster (MyMAC), we promised you a very festive event with lots of traditional foods and performances.
As you might already know, after a month of fasting, yesterday marked the first day for this year's Eid-ul-Fitr or 'Hari Raya Aidilfitri'. I want to take this moment to wish every Muslim student in MASAT and also everyone else Eid Mubarak. May you have a blessed and enjoyable Eid. On behalf of MASAT, please accept our apologize if we ever did anything wrong (i.e. insufficient food during events, not being punctual with time, not providing enough event for you guys, etc.) to you guys (Muslim and non-Muslim). We will try our best to make MASAT a great group to be in.
