Hopefully some of you reading this will be new members discovering our blog after joining up the fantastic Macquarie University Singapore Students Association during O-Week.<br /><br />Firstly, this is a message to welcome everyone to 2011. Previous years have been big ones for the SSA and full of amazing events and great times, and we're sure that 2011 will be no exception!<br /><br />Secondly and most importantly, this is a message to thank the outgoing SSA committee from 2010. We've seen some really special and incredibly hard working people helping to make the SSA the great society it is.<br /><br />Kai Liang, the excellent President, charismatic and cool leading the SSA through 2010, survived the process of former President Stanley's inscrutable election system to be a popular and successful President in 2010.<br /><br />Bobby, the biggest star of the SSA, our master chef and Vice President, always expert at getting things done.<br /><br />Aloysius, the Treasurer looking after all our money and a vital part of organising the SSA.<br /><br />Yzee, one half of the best ever SSA advertising team, responsible for many colourful and entertaining event emails (only forgetting to include the date/time of events some of the time!).<br /><br />Namdev the legendary Sports and Social director. Whenever you want to find Dev, take a peek in the Ubar he may well be there. Long standing and loyal SSA member.<br /><br />All the departing committee will be missed and we thank them many times for their outstanding contributions!<br /><br />After an O-Week wrap-up, we will introduce you to the new committee for 2011. Stay tuned!Singapore Student Association of Macquariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09591260879980191892noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310506450715450539.post-53002727504228350122010-04-13T16:38:00.006+10:002010-04-13T17:03:12.250+10:002010 Singapore Students' Inter-Varsity Combined Sports Meet Review<span style="font-weight: bold;">April 11th, 2010</span> - After all the planning and organising gathering enthusiastic competitors and spectators from all corners of four universities, the big day of the 2010 Singapore Inter-Varsity Combined Sports Meet arrived and everyone was pumped up for a day full of sporting action.<br /><br />Uniforms were handed out (<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Macquarie University</span> in grey, <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">University of New South Wales</span> in light blue, <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">University of Sydney</span> the red and <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Australian National University</span> in white) and all competitors took their places and warmed up around the Olympic Park Sports Centre, on a day which was proving to be perfect conditions for sports.<br /><br />The football, netball and basketball tournaments took place simultaneously on three courts meaning that those not playing could easily switch from one to the other to cheer on their university.

We are now in week 5 and those assignments and mid-term tests are pouring in. MAN! All of us definitely need a break from the textbooks and boring lectures. We're pretty sure that you need it too! Well, this may just be the message of eternal hope for stress discharge. Macquarie SSA is proud to announce that it is time for our annual semester dance party! It's a joint event organised by UNSW, USYD and UMAQ.<br /><br />Getting bored of those quiet nights in Sydney? Bored of doing your homework at night? Feeling that some part of your life is missing? Or maybe you are looking for something to do. Then this is the best time for you to come on down and unleash that "untamed child" within you. Guaranteed that this event will be action packed.<br />There's even free pizza and free drinks to go around! Now it doesn't get any better than that. Meet new friends, dance with friends, socialise with friends, drink with friends. It's great to do those activities down under! The way we see it, this is a really a great event to attend and even share with your friends back home in Singapore - let them know "your life in Sydney is not that sian". Feel free to bring your friends along too.

I trust that most of you are already in Australia by now and have almost everything settled and are roaring for the new semester to get started.<br /><br />I believe that all of you would be very excited as I myself was pretty excited about studying in a foreign country, a new environment and under a different education system when I just arrived in Australia.<br /><br />There may be an initial culture shock when you interact with the locals and various other international students but don't be afraid! Don't hide yourself in your own comfort zone. Be adventurous and embrace these opportunities to talk to people and know more about people of different nationalities. You may find that although the country we come from may be different, we have a lot in common.<br /><br />I am sure all of you will enjoy your time in Australia and who knows, you may feel attached to this country when the time comes for you to leave. If you need any help at any time, feel free to contact us from the Singapore Students' Association and we will try to help you in any way we can. We are not just about having fun, we are also there to watch the back of our fellow Singaporeans and our friends.<br /><br />Lastly, I would like to inform all of you that Orientation Week starts next week from Monday to Thursday and SSA will be having a booth in the central courtyard. Please do come down and sign up to join our club. There is a one off lifetime membership fee of $10.

We are looking for volunteers who will be back in Singapore during that time and would like to volunteer with us.<br /><br />Camp Singapore 2008, organised by the Singapore International Foundation aims to help students from Singapore living overseas to learn something about Singapore’s history, beliefs, cultural practices and festivals celebrated by many ethnic groups. The students will also get a chance to sample local school life, and find out about local society in general. Learning is experiential and conducted through a host of fun indoor and outdoor activities.<br /><br />SIF is currently looking for youths who are interested in working with children during the Camp, and to help facilitate activities. If you are interested in having a chance to teach children about Singapore’s traditions, culture and history, fill in the form and sign up now!<br />Please fill up the volunteer application form and post/fax/email them to the camp coordinator Mr Joseph Lee (email: <a onclick="onClickUnsafeLink(event);" href="mailto:joseph.lee@sif.org,sg">joseph.lee@sif.org,sg</a>, Tel: +65 68378761, fax: 65 6831 8711). The camp coordinator will contact the volunteers directly with more details.<br />If any of your members have any questions regarding the camp, you can contact the camp coordinator via email.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />International NetworkingSingapore International Foundation<br /><br />The Singapore International Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation that seeks to nurture active global citizens and friends for Singapore.For its work, SIF was presented the Excellence for Singapore Award.
