It's been nearly a month, but I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the huge effort of the Malaysian Bazaar 2013 organizing team with their awesome volunteers for making the Malaysian Bazaar 2013 (MB13) a huge success. We had a great turnout that January 11 night, much more bigger than last year's. Only thirty minutes after William Doo Auditorium opened to the guests, crowd had filled in all parts of the hall, having a taste of Malaysian traditional food or playing the Malaysian traditional games.
The fashion shows, traditional dances and song performances were great, with crowd cheering on the performer each time, basically appreciating the uniqueness of our multicultural value of Malaysians.
All in all; awesome event, awesome team, awesome, awesome, awesome. Looking forward for MB14 next year.
Lots and lots of foods (all made fresh by volunteers), were sold. Among others were Herbal Egg, Roti Jala, Nasi Lemak, Pan Mee, Kunching Kolo Mee, Teh Tarik, and Soy Bean with Cincau. Simultaneously, volunteers taught eager crowds on how to play traditional games such as Congkak and Batu Seremban).
All in all; awesome event, awesome team, awesome, awesome, awesome. Looking forward for MB14 next year.

Last year's winter holiday was cold. Cold enough so that we'll be staying inside all the time. Luckily, there's some sports events to keep us active and warmed. And to make you feel better; this year; the second MY Canada Games will be back. Thanks to the organizing committee from MASAT, MyMac and M@C.
Unlike last time, MY Canada Games 2012 will be a one-day event, which is on December 24, 2012. Four types of sport are being contested; SOCCER, BASKETBALL, BADMINTON and VOLLEYBALL. The games will be held on Ultrasport Centre and Agincourt Badminton Centre at Scarborough (do not be worried, as they're both next to each other and along the TTC line).
Registration will be opened soon, in which we'll update you guys later. But, for now if anyone wants further information on this event; do visit the official website; MY Canada Games 2012, and their Facebook page; MCG2012.

MASAT held its first event this for this term; the annual BBQ event, which was held to welcome our new students. Welcome to Toronto. And since today is "Hari Malaysia" (Malaysia Day), the 49th year now.
Around 3 pm, people started coming in, helping to set up the tables, barbecue sets, etc. The menu for today was grilled chicken, sausages and refreshments. Enjoying the food, everyone had fun meeting with old and new friends.
Later, our president Wen Cheng Chong gave a speech and presented MASAT's new committee to all attendees. The new and old students then; one by one introduced themselves; followed by round of applause for each of them.
There's mooncake too; to celebrate the Mooncake Festival which happens to be at this time of year.
Around 7pm, everyone packed and left, full and happy.
To our new students; WELCOME TO TORONTO!
To the one's celebrating; HAPPY MOONCAKE FESTIVAL!
To every one; SELAMAT HARI MALAYSIA!

The evening after the graduation session for the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering, MASAT held a special dinner for our respective just-graduated students. About 20 of the graduating students attended this dinner. Along with parents and friends, the dinner was spectacular.
The food was catered from Pickle Barrel, a famous restaurant. The attendees was being served with a 3 course meal. The main dish were either the special Avocado Salsa Chicken Breast or their delicious Salmon Teriyaki.
Between the meals, our President, Wen Cheng Chong gave his speech; congratulating all the students for their achievement. Then, several graduated students came out to the front and gave probably their last speech in MASAT event. Among the important message from them is that we have to think about why do we do whatever we are doing, because its the cause that's important.
That's it. So long all graduating students. Till we meet again. "SELAMAT MAJU JAYA!!!"
About 20 or so of MASAT members graduated yesterday. This convocation session was the largest group of our members to graduate, as it consists of Engineering students; which make up about two-third of MASAT members.
The Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering session was broken into two session, the Morning session for Civil, Mining, Mechanical & Industrial and Material Science department, and the Afternoon session; for Aerospace, Biomedical, Chemical, Electrical and Engineering Science departments.
Despite the hotter than average weather yesterday, every graduating students cannot hide their smile of joy as this is the moment they'd been waiting for the four, five years of studying.
Parents, family members and friends were present to support them. Thanks to all of you, yesterday's ceremony was a memorable one.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! to all graduated students; from our first session (UTM students) till yesterday's session. To those who'll or already went back home, hopefully we'll bump into each other in the future. To the one's staying in Toronto, we'll keep in contact. There's much to learnt from all of you guys.
As of now, goodbye and see you guys soon.
