10th October 2013

Hello my lovelies! Following a long painful summer of not hearing from me (I know, it was tough on me too), your favourite Malaysian newsletter is BACK.

We hope all of you have had a great summer, whether you spent it interning, pigging out on Malaysian food or just watching every episode of Breaking Bad.

To all our new bright-eyed freshers, welcome to Cambridge: where the Queen keeps drowning in your wine (so rude), your mail occupies the holes of pigeons, and your spirit animal is a bike. Not to mention our slick wizard robes/gowns.

To our less new but fresh-as-ever returning students (we’re talking Will Smith fresh), welcome back!

Guns-blazing, bike-riding, and hands in the air (don’t do this at home, kids), we’re kicking off this Michaelmas with some great events.

First off, head down to Jesus Green this Sunday for our Fresher’s Squash to meet the rest of the CUMaS family; freshers, seniors, maybe even a few dinosaurs? With food, games and majestic ancient reptiles, what more could you ask for? Also, fast approaching, next week’s Fresher’s Michaelmas Formal is another thing not to miss, with Nottingham Games also coming up in just under a month. Check below for the event details!

In addition, if you’re interested in making a significant impact on Malaysia while working with some of the most inspiring people around, check out the ICMS Cambridge Roadshow as the International Council of Malaysian Scholars and Associates visit Cambridge next Saturday. Also, if you’re interested in trading (no, not pokemon cards), our partner the Cambridge University Securities Trading Club has a message for you just below.

Lastly, if any of you are interested in taking part in a cross-cultural study of well-being in Malaysia, Daniel and Dr. Margaret Kern from the University of Pennsylvania are looking for volunteers, details below!

31st July 2013

Hey guys, just a quick CUMaSKini reminder of some big upcoming events. Most of these have already been mentioned previously so I’ll just keep this short and sweet (like baby carrots!)

Also, if any of you old legends and alumni are reading this, we’d like to stay in touch! We know you’re likely to be busy, but if you would like to help us build our Alumni Network, please visit our Alumni Connect Google doc below.

As for the events…

Kicking off with the Oxbridge Debate and the Alumni Networking Event on the 3rd August 2013, we’re going to be up for a pretty busy month. Just before that though, this Thursday, remember to catch the LIVE Radio Interview of your President and External Officer being interviewed about Outreach. Then, on the 17th August, Outreach comes to Kuala Lumpur with Outreach-KL, with Outreach-Johor Bahru just a week later!
Check below for the need-to-knows of the events.

Yang sibuk tapi teruja,

16th July 2013

Well, hello there, it’s me again! Surprised? Ecstatic? Overcome with positive and confusing but nonetheless positive emotions? Oh, you sweet-talker, you. I bet you say that about all your Publicity Officers.

So first off, with summer break in full swing, and the sun trying to set me on fire, I hope you guys are enjoying your holiday. Travelling, friends, good weather, family, food… Life’s pretty good, guys. What else could you want?

Oh, I know.

Maybe this CUMaSKini.

There you go, now everything is perfect.

So, while term is out for a few months, there are still a few things going on. Here’s a quick heads up!

First off, this August, we will be having our very first Alumni Networking Gathering which will mark the launch of our upcoming initiative: the Oxbridge Mentorship Programme. Check below for all the details. Also, there will be limited spaces so be sure to sign-up quick below if you’re interested!

On the same day, we will also be having the Oxbridge Debate at Sunway University College, just nearby where we will be having the Alumni event, so be sure to pop in to give your support to our Cambridge debaters (or Oxford if that’s more your thing, I won’t judge) (Yes I will).

Also, Asia Recruit are looking for quantitative researchers in a research subsidiary of a US headquartered investment management company. Graduates, if you are interested please do check the e-mail below for all the details.

Have a good summer!

CUMaSKini 15/6/2013: Garden Party Tomorrow, CUMaS Families, Outreach-Sandakan, KK

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.

 

Yang baru dan bersyukur,

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.

Yang benar,
CUMaS Committee 2012/2013
