The MSO Team

COMETH RAYS, HAIL, RAIN & SHINE. WE FEAR YOU NOT.

First and foremost, MSO UNSW would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the members who made their way to Coogee for our WELCOMING BEACH BBQ. Hooray to our very first event this year! Coogee Beach was our hand-picked spot due to its well-known reputation as one of Sydney’s favourite beaches and the close proximity to home. For those still unfamiliar with directions around town, MSO provided our very own escort service led by charming Kai Xian and Sabrina. The turnout on that day was spectacular and when I say spectacular I mean “WHOA.LOOK AT THE LINE….” SPECTACULAR! =) We had more than 300 attendees of both freshers and oldies mingling in one of Sydney’s favourite beaches close to home.

The committee members *special drumroll for Mei* rigorously prepared sausages, onion rings and other grilled items while some distributed vegetarian and flavoured pizzas, garlic breads, drinks etc  assorted halal food. The barbeque pits never got cold and even the sudden storm left as quickly as it came, intimidated by the sheer enthusiasm of fellow MSOians. With the dark clouds gone and the sun out again, more food were supplied. Fellow MSOians baked *i mean basked* *coughs* themselves under the sun while meeting new friends and acquaintances.  Even beeps were honked by the petrol units whom amazed by the crowd, very “gently” and kindly reminded us to clean up the bbq area.

For those who stayed and lingered long enough, one cannot miss out on the laughter pealed as members and red shirts partake in social games.

All in all, this event was a success and we hope all of you had as much fun as we did. Thank you once again all for supporting MSO.  This also goes out to committee members from other SUAMS, MSA and MASA . =) We do hope to see you in our next upcoming events. CHeerioZ~

p.s. Plans for White water rafting are still afloat later in the session, so keep a lookout for our e-mails.

Coogee is cool, Bondi is blazing, but nothing beats Manly Beach as one of Sydney’s most popular seaside destinations.  There is no better way to take a trip to Manly than with MSO and your friends.  So make you way down to Circular Quay for a trip by ferry across Sydney Harbour to Manly.  As promised, we will be giving you a fantastic deal you can’t resist.

Package and Cost

Regular cost of travel and OceanWorld ticket is $31.75.  Since MSO does not like having a big bank balance, take advantage of this opportunity to explore or revisit Manly beach this summer before winter comes around.  At the same time, get a chance to get up close and personal with sharks, crocodiles and the world’s most dangerous snakes and spiders at OceanWorld and their 4 million litre Oceanarium.

Details                                  
Date: 21 March (Saturday)
Time: 9.00 a.m.
Place: Circular Quay Ferry Wharf 3

For those who are unsure of the direction or location, we have troop leaders Kai Xian and Huey Shyan to lead the way. They will be departing from UNSW main bus stop.

Thank you for your amazing support. MSO had a fantastic O-week (23-27 Feb 2009) with membership sign-ups exceeding 200 people and counting. We were glad to see both, the old and the new members enjoying themselves at O-week here in UNSW. The weather was great throughout the week and lucky members got to cool off with some good ole’ Ice Kacang courtesy of our sponsor AusEd who prepared those cold treats for us.  Here are some pictures, click to enlarge.
