Hello dear friends, it's me again. This is my last post I promise haha(hopefully;p) 
Just wanted to notify you all that MASA has donated all the proceedings from MASA Bake Sales and some funding from MASA to the charity:

and AUTISM SERVICE OF SASKATOON.
This happened during finals thus my late updates!
Thank you all for showing tremendous amount of love and support to MASA 2014-2015 Term 1 and 2! I'm stepping down and we have high hopes for the new committee members!

Thank you people! =D

Dear all,

Today was the last event hosted by me and my lovely committee members, Angel, Serena, Jia Yun, and Mimi. It was definitely a blast and I hope u guys had enjoyed the activities that we carefully planned for all of you. It was so great to see everybody again and get to catch up with all of you before we all caught up with finals. 

A big congratulations to all the committee members for 2015-2016. I wish u all the best of luck for bringing MASA to a whole new level, not forgetting our main purpose of forming MASA, which is to build a tighter Malaysian Community here in Saskatoon and also work to promote the Malaysian cultures and values among the non-Malaysian members.

I am really fortunate to have my committee members who were absolutely helpful and staying with me till the end of the term, despite the busy schedule for school, work, and volunteering for MASA. U guys are the best! Thanks :') Also, I would also like to give thanks to Tim & Hannah, who were always willing to offer us their cozy home for events, and also Dan & Beata who always give us rides during the events. Thank you guys. Also, the non-committee members who assists us in every way they could, u guys have the heart of gold! And also I'd like to acknowledge people who supported us all the way till the end of the term. Thanks thanks and more thanks!!!

Last but not the least, good luck to everybody for your finals preparation/ work! We'll see each other in the coming MASA event!

Till then, take the greatest care !!! :)

The bowing out of the old members and the introduction of new ones :)

Hello everyone,

So this will officially be the last time I'll post something on this website. Being on the committee had it's up and downs, sometimes it felt like there were more downs than anything else but we all pulled through despite having some really rough times. Things didn't always go to plan, and the weather was not always in our favor. We started on a really rough start with the buses not running too but I'm happy with what we've achieved. All the hard work put in for the year paid off, or at least I think it did. I sincerely hope that everyone enjoyed attending the events that we've organized. I think all of us individually learned something valuable from being a part of the committee and now we hold an even greater respect to everyone who was on the committee in the past.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout the year whether by volunteering to be the driver,allowing us to hold events at your house or by attending our events. We couldn't have succeeded in anything without all of you, so thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We hope to see you at the future events organized by the new MASA 2015-2016 committee.

Thank you for those who voted us as your committee members for 2014-2015 and having faith in us.

And now, for the new committee members of MASA 2015-2016 !!!

Advisor: Christine Schian Yee Lim

President: Sam Tan 

Vice President : Jia Yun Tan, Yan Ran Tang 

Treasurer: Kate Wong 

Secretary: Jerenne Yen Ling Tan 

Social Director: Naethan, Boon Hwee Tan

All the best in everything, you guys will be great, I know it :)

Signing off for officially the last time,

Mimi <3

MASA Chinese New Year Dinner

February 21st, 2015


The event that every Malaysian loves the most. The annual Chinese New Year dinner. Since so many of us are here away from family, this is also usually the time when we feel the most homesick, craving those delicious cookies and home cooked food.

This year, we decided to have the dinner at Miramar, a restaurant located in Market Mall in Saskatoon. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was very reminiscent of home due to the amount of noise we were making in the restaurant.

Thank you everyone for coming out for this event despite the freezing cold weather. It was great to see so many of you. especially those who have graduated. We had a total of over 40 people who attended so thank you thank you for making this event such a huge success.

After dinner, Tim and Hannah were so generous and invited us over to their house for some mahjong, snacks and games. In case you didn't realize, boys were severely outnumbered by us girls ;D

Melissa Wong was also kind enough to make her own Yee Sang which was amazing !! 

We also fried some nian gao because what is Chinese New Year without some :)

Thanks for showing up guys, can't wait for Chinese New Year next year !

Love loads :)

MASA Skiing Trip

February 15th, 2015

Hello, these updates are super late because I've been so busy with work.
Anyways, on February 15th we headed to Table Mountain at North Battleford. For some of us it was our first time skiing and snowboarding.
Thank you to Dan and Dr Awang for driving us there, if it weren't for the 2 of you there was no way this event could have happened.

Thank you to those who showed up for this event. My but was sore for a whole week but the experience was totally worth it.

MASA Curling Event

Hello everyone ! On January 24th MASA organized the very first curling event at the Curling Rink on Campus.

There were a total of 16 people who attended this event and we played from approximately 2pm till 4pm.

There weren't many pictures taken as we were having wayyy to much fun and completely forgot about it.

I hope everyone had fun at this event and here's to hoping for another one in the future.
Thank you to everyone who showed up !
Good luck for your midterms coming up people.

New Year's Eve Potluck Party!!!

A potluck party was called by MASA for 2014 new year's eve. MASA was really grateful as Dayne has kindly offered his spacious place for the celebration. The event started at 7pm with a table full of scrumptious dishes brought by fellow attendees. Thank you guys for putting effort in preparing the great food ! =)

                                                 Posing nicely for pictures.

                                 Look at the hilarious face expressions!!! Bahaha

                                                          Mouth-watering!!!!

                                   And I made some Malaysian dessert for MASA =)

                                                         

More group pictures:

We had such a fantastic time catching up, playing games, and getting to know each other that we didn't get to count down ahaha. The clock struck exactly at 12am when we looked at the clock. We wished each other a joyful and prosperous new year of 2015 with hugsssss before ending the day.

In a nutshell, it was a wonderful night with awesome people and great food. Hopefully everyone enjoyed and thanks again to Dayne and his roommates for offering their place for this event.

Thanks for coming! See you in the upcoming events! Stay warm =D

Thanksgiving Dinner

On October 11th, 2014 we had our Thanksgiving dinner. We couldn't do it in school and the buses were on lockout still so we had quite abit of fun brain storming trying to figure out a way to make this event happen. Thank you to Tim and Hannah for allowing us to have this event at your house. You have no idea how thankful we are for that :)

The MASA committee members were at Tim and Hannah's house at 1pm to start cooking, and we were only done at 7pm which was when everyone showed up. No worries, no one chopped their fingers in the process of cooking all of this. We had a huge turkey, stuffing, fried rice,mashed potatoes salad, ham, homemade pumpkin cupcakes and other stuff ! 

 A group picture of the attendees as per usual.

and a "freestyle" picture because we're MASA and there's lots of awesome food in front of us.

Hopefully everyone had fun and the food was good. Thank you again to Tim and Hannah for letting us host an event at your house.

Also, thank you to those who volunteered to drive us to and fro. Thank you Steve, Wei Xin, Pam and Dan for being so so kind. The event wouldn't have been able to happen if it weren't for all of you.

Till the next event then ! :)
