CUMaSKini 16/10/12: Nottingham Malaysian Games, Vietnamese Food Festival

Another week, another CUMaSKini!

The Freshers’ Formal is happening today! Hopefully you’ve received your confirmation e-mail for this sold out event. Next up is the Nottingham Malaysian Games, in mid-November. It’s the biggest Malaysian sporting event of the year, so if you’re interested in representing Cambridge, do sign up below! And finally, the Vietnamese Society is holding a Vietnamese Food Festival at the end of October. Between all the food festivals coming up in Michaelmas, it’s probably a good idea to join some sports training for the Notts Games to burn off those calories 😉

CUMaSKini 04/10/12: The Freshers’ Edition

A very special welcome to the Cambridge University Malaysia Society (CUMaS)!

If you don’t know who we are yet, here’s a quick introduction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe9ldY7Epac.

For those new to Cambridge, we hope you’ve had a great Freshers’ Week! The time to buckle down and start working is upon us, but never fear; CUMaS will be holding loads of events this term to ensure you’re never bored. For those returning to Cambridge, well, you know what it’s like, except this year, it’s probably more difficult. Good luck!

First on the agenda is the Freshers’ Squash coming up this Saturday, where you can meet the freshers and seniors who make up our society. Also, if you’ve yet to join CUMaS, this is the most convienient place to become and member (and enjoy our various benefits!). Once you’ve RSVP’ed for the Squash, have a look at our term card for the coming term (on our brand new website). And maybe, perhaps, have a look at the CUMaS Sponsors for this academic year.

As always, our online Jumble Sale remains open for business.

Finally, if you have any questions or feedback about CUMaS, send us an e-mail.

Freshers’ Camp and Banquet 2012

On the 8th of September, CUMaS held its first ever Freshers’ Camp at The Saujana Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. The freshers arrived in the afternoon and were raring to go, but of course, being Malaysians, a few of us were fashionably late. Things got off to a great start as we went through several hilarious rounds …

Garden Party 2012

Thematically it was Balik Kampung. Realistically there was a bouncy castle, tons of scrumptious Malaysian food, enough wind to power Holland, and best of all, loads of friendship to go around.

Sunway Q&A Session

How on earth can you impress a Cambridge interviewer in a mere 30 minutes interview? On September 25, 2012, CUMaS members visited Sunway University College for a Q&A session to share their unique interview experiences and exciting life at Cambridge. Successful applicants shared what they think the interviewers are looking for, and what preparations could …

Cambridge Pun Boleh Bah 2012 – The Talk at Tawau

There are many students from Tawau who are studying in top universities in the UK, among them Imperial College London, King’s College London and the University of Bristol, but very few apply to Cambridge, or even consider that as an option. We aim to change that. On the 15th of August 2012, the Cambridge Pun …
