15th June 2013

Hello, you, you lucky fella you! After all that work and studying, it’s finally time for a little taste of freedom. Or if you don’t like consuming freedom (tastes sort of like champagne and flour, but on your face), maybe have some good ol’ Malaysian food instead. Much easier to digest, and lovingly transported all the way from London, there’s no way you’d want to miss out on tomorrow’s Garden Party.

Also, believe in love at first sight? We don’t. We’re more of an arranged-marriage-and-then-adopt-some-kids kind of people. We’re really romantic that way. To start a CUMaS family of your own, sign-up on the doc below! 

Lastly, this Summer, Outreach is coming to cities near you! (if you live near KL, Sandakan or KK) More details on CUMaS’ newest initiative below!

24rd April 2013


Hey again!

I’m sorry.

I know this seems a bit clingy, but I’m back. I know, I need to give you guys some space. But… why keep us apart? Why stop something so beautiful? Why-

Alright, here’s the deal guys, I lied.

I told you guys that there was a poster attached of the splendid Pajama-Rama, feeding in its natural habitat, and lo-and-behold, there was no poster.

But, I’ve remembered to attach one now! Check it out for the latest, confirmed details of the Garden Party.

Also, the sign-up form for the Easter Formal has just gone up on the website so check that out!

Once again, sorry about e-mailing all of you so much (not really!)
Have a good Easter term!

9th April 2013

Hello, good people of CUMaS! With just over two weeks of Easter Break left, I imagine there are some of us who are starting to feel a little pressed for time.

“NO, STOP IT, TIME. WHAT’S THE RUSH? THIS ISN’T FUNNY. TIME, WHERE ARE YOU GOING? I STILL WANT TO DO THINGS! THINGS!”

Sound familiar? Well, fear not, because speaking about things, here are some you can look forward to!

First off, this CUMaSKini! Hot and fresh off the print (key?), it even smells amazing. Go on, give it a whiff!

Okay, now if you’re done being weird, there’s also been a few changes for the upcoming Oxbridge Games, including the addition of two events, so be sure to check that out. CUMaS will also be carrying out its very first Outreach Initiative this summer in Malaysia. If you’re interested in helping us make a difference, be sure to sign up via the link below! Also, read up on the latest dirt on the elusive Easter Garden Party. Finally, regarding the Gamuda Talk on the 10th of April, it has unfortunately been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.

CUMaSKini 23/03/2013: Committee Expansion, Oxbridge Games, Easter Garden Party, Gamuda Talk

by TechnicalOfficerCUMaSKini, Members Area ArchivePosted on Comments are Disabled

Oh look at you, reading our very first CUMaSKini. Good for you! Aw, and you look so excited and/or frightened! It’s okay, we’re excited too.

Hello! We’re the 2013/2014 Committee for CUMaS, and we can’t wait to get started. We’ve never been dark overlords before! Well, except Livia. You really don’t want to mess with her play. But that’s an entirely different (critically acclaimed, Oscar-winning) story.

To kick it all off, we’d like to thank you so much for your support at Hustings! Since then, we’ve expanded the committee a bit and we can’t wait for you to meet them down below! Also, we hope everybody’s having a great Easter holiday so far. Rest assured your new committee are hard at work planning another line-up of term events. Easter term promises the much anticipated Oxbridge Games, and there’s also been word that preparations for the CUMaS Garden Party are already underway. More presently, our esteemed platinum sponsor Gamuda Berhad is coming down to Cambridge the 10th of April for a talk. The details are listed below. The ICMS Newsletter for March is also out and is attached for anyone who’s interested. There’s a familiar face or two in there too if you need any more encouragement. CUSEAF (Cambridge University South East Asian Forum) is also currently recruiting for their 2013/2014 committee. Find out more about how to apply below.

Again, we’d like to thank everyone for their support at Hustings. Let’s have a good run, everybody! 

And now all that’s left is to make it official.

CUMaSKini 13/03/2013: Hello, Goodbye!

by TechnicalOfficerCUMaSKiniPosted on Comments are Disabled

It’s the end of Lent, and the beginning of winter…

We hope you enjoyed the AGM at Newnham yesterday! We had a very fun Hustings, free food, and a little electorial drama (recount!) to spice up the meeting. Congratulations to the newly-elected committee for 2013/14! With the end of the AGM comes the end of the current committee’s reign of terror, so please support the incoming committee who, we are sure, will plan a fantastic year ahead for CUMaS!

Not to forget (this is a newsletter after all), our platinum sponsor Celcom is currently screening applications for their graduate programme. If you are interested, see below for more information.

Finally, with this comes the last issue of CUMaSKini by the 2012/13 Committee. We hope we’ve served CUMaS and you well, and we thank you for your support over the past year. Below you can find our goodbye messages to all of you. Thank you for making CUMaS a truly amazing society to work for!

Sekian, terima kasih.

CUMaSKini 10/03/2013: CUMaS AGM Tomorrow, Research Survey

by TechnicalOfficerCUMaSKiniPosted on Comments are Disabled

Winter is coming… again. As Lent term ends, we find ourselves in a similar position as we were at the end of Michelmas; that is, tightly curled up under a blanket with a cup of hot Milo nearby.

But Monday arrives soon, and we all have to leave our warm shelters eventually. So wrap up tight and head on over to the CUMaS AGM tomorrow evening at Newnham College. Highlights include complaining to the current committee on our lack of response to the sudden cold weather chill, and watching young’uns convince you to vote for them while shivering (cold? nervous? who knows?).

Important reminder: If you’re unable to attend the AGM (snowed in, attacked by sentient snowmen, etc.), please register for proxy voting by tonight! Details are below.

Finally, we have a survey by an undergraduate doing research on Malaysians studying abroad.

CUMaSKini 04/03/2013: Candidate Manifestos!

by TechnicalOfficerCUMaSKiniPosted on Comments are Disabled

We hope you enjoyed this year’s Malaysian Night! With that over, there’s only one event left for the current committee before we step down. That event, of course, is finding a crew of motivated, dedicated and capable people to take over for the upcoming year. So we are proud the present the manifestos of the candidates for the upcoming CUMaS AGM!

A few events by our friends around the UK: the Chinese Cultural Society is putting on a hilarious comedy, "Somalian Pirates", this weekend.. And the Universities of Newcastle, Northumbria and Durham are putting up a joint production, the North-East Malaysian Night, at the end of the month.
