Welcome to the Imperial College London Malaysian Society! As one of the most active Malaysian Societies in the whole of Europe, the MSOC hosts many events throughout the year!

This is what you missed at the Welcome Dinner 2010!

The dinner this year, was (as always) held at the Holiday Villa, Bayswater, London! Before I go in to the people, note the buffet!

As you can see, typical Malaysians aready going for the food!

Here are some facts, there are about 400 Malaysians students at Imperial College London at any given year and most of them are members of MSoc.

Note the sotong rings which were already half gone BEFORE I got there! No doubt, there was a long queue.

But, this special lady was able to beat all of us to it! Why? She's vegetarian! And yes, there are food for you vegetarians!

I still don't understand why did the Manager had to stand beside her like a Queen or something. Suggestions?

For the carnivores, like me, we had some saute chicken!

Anyhow, after food and drinks, I was good to stretch and so everyone just got up and started mingling. Note the ratio of guys to girls in this picture. Yes, we were all fooled as they never stated it in the application.

The place was absolutely crowded and it was nice to see people dressed up in traditional costumes. Back to the gender equality thing, yes its unfair. Therefore, it is not surprising when you see this:

It ackward, but they will learn that there is still hope. They are still all first years, as the event was intended to bring all of them into the Imperial family. However, there were seniors as well, such as Ke Lun, Tian Siong, Lilian, Zafi and Aaron. We were all past our league but since it is our last year, might as well have a go.

Okay, these are perfect specimens of Buaya Darat and Buaya Air Masin. Who knows who will be next.

IC,MSoc,Dinner

Here is Aaron! The biggest buaya of the all! who is a 6th year medic! Also, you will sometimes find that you make old connections again. Was surprised to see Ka Yin again, the last time I saw this guy was at least 5 years ago when he was one head shorter!

IC,MSoc,Dinner

Yes, London could use more Penang people. See you in London!

PS. There were girls in pretty dresses as well but I won't go into the details! Later kena smack by Bb!
