Bersatu Victory Party

Hey everybody!

The Bersatu Victory Party was a success! Why? Because everything that mattered most were there - the people and the food! :) I did, however, expect more of you to turn up but I guess those that didn't would have had valid reasons and if you didn't turn up cuz you were lazy... you missed out on some really good food!! :þ~ Any regrets? Well, TOO LATE! Next time, turn up! Wahahaha!!

On a serious note, thanks to everyone that came! Huge thanks to those that were involved in the preparation of the food - it was very tasty! Made a few people home sick! Good job!

A special mention should be made for those that received an award from Azmir. Congratulations to...

• Best team: Netball


• Best captain: Fiqa


• Best female player: Yani


• Best male player: Nik

Also, I found the videos that were shown at the opening and closing of the Bersatu Games on YouTube. Check them out. Personally, the last video was especially touching...

• Opening Ceremony: 1 2


• Closing Ceremony: 1 2 3

I guess this will be the last post, from me anyway. We've all had our share of tears, joy, laughter, fun. In the end, we got the glory! However, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you win or lose... all that matters is that you've given it all that you've got, gained personal satisfaction and taken something out of it.

Let's hope that next year's team will do us all proud again! If you weren't part of the participating CMSA contingent this year, sign up for it next year! It's an experience you'll never forget and you'll leave with some unforgettable memories! Here's to looking forward to Bersatu Games 2008 in Wellington...

On that note, I leave you with a few photos from this year's Bersatu Games Victory Party and wish you all the very best of luck in all your exams!

Victory Party... IT'S ON!!

A message from your Sports Officer - Azmir...

"Hey there! Just a reminder 2 all d vic party 2nite is at 7pm ilam old comon room.. Plenty of foods for everyne.. So do come! Spread d word k? Thnx.."

So it's happening TONIGHT! 7:00pm @ Ilam (Old) Common Room which is located next to where the contingent meeting was held. Only $5 per head so unless you have more than one head... that's a pretty good deal for a taste of home!

Be there or be square people!

Bersatu Victory Party!

Yo yo yo! How's everyone doing?

Seems like everyone's been hitting the books now since it's second semester. Regret for skipping lectures and being so slack in first semester eh? Wahahaha! Never mind! You still have plenty of time to catch up! What more... with Bersatu Games out of the way (at least for this year anyway), you'll have more time to concentrate on your studies. However, keep this coming Saturday evening available to attend the long over-due but still very necessary... BERSATU VICTORY PARTY!

That's right! It's happening THIS Saturday (4th August, 2007) at a *mystery* location (but do check back for details)! Hehe! All participants are expected to come along to this event... please? *fLuTTeR LoNg SeXy EyE LaShEs - bLiNk bLiNk*! Haha!

Bring all those special people in your life - your husband/wife... boyfriend/girlfriend... POTENTIAL boyfriend/girlfriend (*WiNk* *WiNk*!) or your wonderful supportive friends at a low cost of $5 per person. What a ridiculously low price for a whole night of fun, right?! AND... it gives you a taste of superb cooking by none other than your very own people! On the menu...

Nasi kuning
Ayam percik kelate
Kari daging
Ikan bakar with air asam
Sambal telur
Roti jala/jemput2
and... dessert!!

*sLuRp*! Tempted yet? I'm sure you are! Haha! What to expect that night... As Azmir says... "eat till u die", some awards, and maybe karaoke? Either way, it should be a great night!

So let's all come together one more time to celebrate our victory!

CMSA...............
What's your profession?!?!
AOOOO AOOOOOO AOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I'll leave you all with some photos from last year's victory party...

See... You could have some of these precious memories too! See you all there? ;)

Hopefully we can keep our "semangat" and make it a record 3 times next year! :) Meanwhile, let us revel in the glory of being the champions!

Congratulations to those who participated... Well done to those who helped organise... Last but not least, thank you to those who supported the team during the preparation and actual Bersatu Games 2007. I'm sure I speak for all when I say that your constant support and encouragement was priceless! Hope you all managed to keep your voices!

Day 3 - Tuesday 3rd July:

Despite the wet and muddy ground at the Ilam Oval, touch rugby continued. After a few slaps here and there (even to the face!!), our TOUCH team still managed to come out on top to secure a GOLD medal... YAY!!

T O U C H T E A M ! !

At night, our BOWLERS won a BRONZE medal thanks to Yani who under intense pressure managed to whip up a TURKEY (3 Strikes in a row) on the very last frame of both sets! Absolutely amazing! :)

3 cheers for Yani!

At the end of the third day, the rest of the sports were as follows (the remaining to be played the following day):

Basketball:
Finals against PETSOC

Volleyball:
Semi-Finals against UMSA and Finals

Badminton:
Still going... <--- seemed never ending!

Day 4 - Wednesday 4th July:

We had a very bright and early start the next morning at 8:00am to accommodate all the remaining sports to be played.

Athletics ran outside on the Ilam Oval throughout the beautiful sunny day. Our athletics team did amazingly well, mostly getting GOLD for their events. I'm not too sure about the details of the medals. Sorry!

Anyway...

Inside Recreation Centre, our Volleyball Team was trying their best in the Semi-finals against UMSA but unfortunately lost, proceeding on to meet WMSO in the 3rd and 4th placing match up to obtain a Bronze medal!

The last game played at Bersatu Games 2007 was Sepak Takraw where we came 2nd to obtain a SILVER . Congratulations to the Sepak Takraw team who managed to captivate everyone's attention, giving us an extraordinary show and managing to arise the curiousity of spectators in the Recreation Centre.

S Q U A S H ( E R S ) !

Because of the outstanding performance from these two tremendous squash players, we have bagged one more GOLD medal for Men's SQUASH and a SILVER medal for Women's SQUASH! Well done!

It was great to see so many supporters that travelled between squash, badminton and soccer despite the horrible weather towards the end of the day! Unfortunately I can only bring you photos from squash and badminton which was held in the Recreation Centre.

No doubt, the photos from soccer will be uploaded soon... once I get my hands on them anyway! Which brings me to say:

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S

I heard that your performance was top class and you should be proud of winning SILVER! Keep your heads held high team!

AAAAAAOOOOOO
