The MMA (Murdoch Uni Malaysian Association) had quite an illustrious past. However, recent years (at least the last one year) has rendered it as viable as last years supply of cabbage sitting in ur fridge. Nevertheless, it was indeed heartening to note that today's reception for the Consulate of Malaysia to Perth & the MMA A.G.M was a well-attended affair. Everybody who is anybody (read:Malaysians ...and some more enlightened Singaporeans...hehehe).....took time off their busy schedules THIS early in the semester to attend. "Syabas & Tahniah kepada semua"...however, I deign to admit...it was prolly more to do with the excellent spread (Nasi Goreng & Rendang Ayam...yummy!!) that drew the droves.
Guess wot urs truly was doing at 6pm when the meeting started?...The disturbingly constant scenario of pushing an overloaded trolley from the 'greatest mall in the planet' Kardinya Coles. As Vikz and me made the long haul dodging cars on the freeway (Its called South STREET..but I swear this is hardly the stuff of regular streets lined with quaint shops...more like some GP circuit with Schumi wannabes throttling at 140 mph)...But I digress: The point is I thought i will skip the meet, considering it was my last semester and really..who goes for AGMs at the twilight of the uni years?
When Sharm called to remind me, being the unpatriotic goose that I am, told her that I was "gee...shopping for pasta & bog rolls".....she made it quite clear that I was expected to be around;)
To cut a short story shorter, one hour later urs truly was unwittingly elected to be the Treasurer of MMA....I'm sussed that its something to do with me studying accounting...Hmmmm.....Honestly folks, preparing financial statements & budgets are not too difficult with some basic accounting knowledge. Seriously easy as sheep!
Anyways, we have a bubbly and energetic team-lets hope we can rally some support for Merdeka on the 31st!!!
