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!

Yang terbebas dari Tripos (yay),

19th May 2013

Greetings my lovely stressed humans! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I’m sorry about that. I’d say it’s because I’ve been busy revising, but ‘revising’ seems to be a rather grandiose term for eating Nutella from a jar and trying not to cry.

Mid-stride through Week 4 with Week 5 just around the corner, it’s hard not to feel a little blue. But whether you’re neck deep in revision, hard at work on that thesis, or just busy crying yourself to sleep in foetal position, we hope you’re still finding time to relax and have some fun! By reading this shiny new CUMaSKini, for example! Aren’t you just having a blast? I know I am.

But wait, there’s more! Registrations are now open for the much anticipated Pajama-Rama Garden Party which promises to be the most fun you could probably have in a garden. Check below for the link to the event page! Also, following the correction of a glitch in their ticketing system, there are now some tickets left for the Clare College May Ball if anyone is interested.
We’d also like to call for a final poll on what you think about the new logo before it’s all official, so hit us up! Also, in unrelated, less important news, your Socials Officer wants you to know he is lonely.

Anyway, we know how tough Easter term can sometimes feel, and the impending meteor that is Tripos probably isn’t helping much either, but keep your head up. You’re not alone! 🙂

(unless maybe if you’re our Socials Officer, sorry, Jo)

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!

23rd April 2013

With the advent of Week 1 and the shadow of Tripos upon us, it’s sometimes hard to get excited about term starting again. But fret not! CUMaS has some exciting events lined up for you this Easter term, and if that isn’t enough (so demanding!), you can always visit your Welfare Officer, Lim Tian Xi for some manly love.

“Manly love is the best kind of love”

–Samuel, Christ’s College

Indeed. Well, quickly moving on, the first thing is the MNight Dinner this Thursday (25/4) for the cast and production crew of Playback 2013, with a little reminder from our lovely Treasurer for those who have not paid.

Next up are the Oxbridge Games this Sunday (28/4). Join us as we defend our honour in the ultimate clash of athletes (yeap, that’s us). Not forgetting the much anticipated Garden Party at the end of term. Finally find out the theme below, as well as the latest updates! Also, a quick word from your Ents Officer, Samuel, about live acts and performances.

Outreach has also just had its first briefing recently, check below if you couldn’t make it and are interested in helping out this summer in KL! Also, if you couldn’t support our Malaysian Tigers on the 9th March last term, find out all about the game in Sport Officer, Ramaraj’s iCUSU World Cup Football Tournament Report. There’s also been word about a new CUMaS logo going around, find out more below!

With that, we welcome you back! Let’s have an amazing term everybody!

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

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,

CUMaS Committee 2013/2014
