Hello all SSA members! 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.
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!
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.
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.
Bobby, the biggest star of the SSA, our master chef and Vice President, always expert at getting things done.
Aloysius, the Treasurer looking after all our money and a vital part of organising the SSA.
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!).
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.
All the departing committee will be missed and we thank them many times for their outstanding contributions!
After an O-Week wrap-up, we will introduce you to the new committee for 2011. Stay tuned!

2010 Singapore Students' Inter-Varsity Combined Sports Meet Review
April 11th, 2010 - 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.
Uniforms were handed out (Macquarie University in grey, University of New South Wales in light blue, University of Sydney the red and Australian National University 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.
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. The loudest cheers of the day surely came from the football final where ANU defeated UNSW, however the Macquarie basketball team nearly blew the roof off the Sports Centre with the roars of their fans in their final match for the day.
Following a well deserved pizza break out on the grass, everyone lined up once more for the captain's ball tournament, a hard fought battle (with plenty of laughs and thrills) which was an epic way to conclude a long and glorious day of competition.
Once all the games had completed and all the cans of 100Plus had been drank (huge thanks to 100Plus, with which we could not have survived the gruelling day without!), University of New South Wales finished as the overall champions of the day, taking home the trophy in Basketball, Netball and Captain's ball. Australian National University took home the football tournament.
In the warm evening outside the Sports Centre our special guest, the National Population Secretary under the Prime Minister's Office in Singapore, Mr Goh Kok Wee was on hand to present the medals and trophies to the deserving champions of the day. Macquarie University ended the day in 2nd place overall, a terrific effort for our Singaporean superstars. Without a doubt, this was surely the most exciting and best event that any combined societies of universities have put on all year.
Massive thanks to everyone who put in the hard time and effort to secure the venue, organise the teams, uniforms and trophies. Thanks to all the competitors from all four universities to came out to Olympic Park, especially ANU coming all the way up from Canberra! Also massive thanks to the event sponsors 100Plus, Network of Singapore Students in Australia, Merlion Club Melbourne and Overseas Singaporean, who helped make it possible to put on such a wonderful event.
Already looking forward to next year!

Following is the list of sports and requirements for each:
1) Indoor soccer (2 teams of 9 -> 6 players and 3 substitutes) (girls are welcome to participate and the incentive is that 1 goal scored by a girl equates to 2 goals scored by a boy. So get out there and put some in the back of the net ladies!)
2) Basketball (1 team of 10 -> 5 players and 5 substitutes) (once again, girls are invited to participate as their contribution to the score board will be double those from boys ~ slam dunk!)
3) Tennis (2 teams of 6-10 -> minimum of 3 boys 3 girls and maximum of 5 boys 5 girls) (Please note: you need to bring YOUR OWN racket)
4) Netball (1 team of 13 -> 7 players and 6 substitutes) (girls-only sport - sorry guys)

2010 SSA Welcome
Hi everyone,
Firstly, I would like to welcome all of you to Macquarie University on behalf of the Singapore Students Association in Macquarie. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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. You will definitely get back the value of the $10 through the various events that we organise for you that are usually free. Please do join our facebook group at ssamacquarie@gmail.com to be updated on our activities and to interact with other members.
We have various activities planned for the coming semester like paintball with our good friends and straits neighbours the Malaysian Students' Association, a combined welcome reception for all new students to Australia, with UNSW and USyd and possibly Newcastle Uni, graced by the High Commisioner of Singapore to Australia, a Inter-Uni Sports Carnival between us, UNSW, USyd and possibly ANU, Newcastle Uni and many more.
We know these events will be great and we hope you'll join us for them, and we look forward to seeing you soon during O-Week.
Sincerely
Stanley Tjhai
President
Singapore Students' Association
Macquarie University
PS: Wish you all a very Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year. May you be blessed with good fortune, good grades and most importantly good health.

Movies Night at Robert Menzies College
Dear SSA members
Exams are just round the corner and i know everyone is getting all stressed up. You know you need to destress, relax and chill a little bit. We are going to have a SSA movie night just for you to do that.
Date: 1st of November (Saturday)
Venue: Robert Menzie College
Time: 6.30 p.m
The movie to be screened will be a Singaporean movie and currently there are 4 we can choose from
2 - I Not Stupid 2 http://www.mediacorpraintree.com/instoo/
3 - Just Follow Law http://www.avistaz.com/movies/2008/just-follow-law-singapore-2007.html
4 - One Leg Kicking http://www.filmsasia.net/gpage127.html
These are all Singapore movies. Singaporeans unite and support our local productions. Non-Singaporean friends who are interested to understand our Singaporean culture better should come and watch it and get a laugh out of the Singaporean English (Singlish).
The movie that will be screened will be determined on the day itself and of course it involves you getting to vote for which one you wanna watch. Bring your friends along and your own food and drinks (non-alcoholic) to get you through the movie. Popcorn will be provided!!! It is going to be a very exciting evening and hope that everyone will be able to make it down.
Please respond to this e-mail and let us know if you will be coming down so we can pop enough corn for everyone.
Cheers

Singapore Camp
Dearest members,
SIF will be organising a camp called Camp Singapore from 17 July to 29 July 2008. We are looking for volunteers who will be back in Singapore during that time and would like to volunteer with us.
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.
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!
Please fill up the volunteer application form and post/fax/email them to the camp coordinator Mr Joseph Lee (email: joseph.lee@sif.org,sg, Tel: +65 68378761, fax: 65 6831 8711). The camp coordinator will contact the volunteers directly with more details.
If any of your members have any questions regarding the camp, you can contact the camp coordinator via email.

WELCOME
Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers. Your contribution is greatly appreciated. I'm glad to
report that we have 26 new members signed up this semester! I'm sure we'll have a blast with our growing SSA.
To kick things off this year, we have "in process" many social events such as a welcoming BBQ, Dinner at "Kopitiam at 282", a paintball "Grilling" session with the MSA (Malaysian Students' Association) and a Royal Easter Show outing in the mid term hols! And a trip down to Bondi Beach just to chill and relax, before we hit our exams.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at our upcoming events.
Pam
