Movie screening: Sepet

Dear members,

MSA RMIT will be organising a movie night in conjunction with the International Week. Details will be as follow:

Movie title: Sepet

Date: 4th of May (Friday)

Time: 7-9pm

Venue: Building 12 Level 5 Room 2

Fee: 2 dollars

Synopsis: 19-year old Ah Loong is in charge of a stall selling pirated vcd's. Contrary to what you might expect someone of his social standing to be, Ah Loong is an incurable romantic with an unlikely hobby - he loves to read and write poetry. Quite content to carry on being the Romeo of the slums, Ah Loong's life takes a sudden turn one day when a 16-year old Malay schoolgirl arrives at his stall in search of Wong Kar-Wai's films.

Those who are interested pls purchase your tickets on Wednesday 11am-2pm. MSA will be having a booth on Bowen Street for the market day. Otherwise, you can purchase the tickets on the spot before the screening of the film. However, PLACES ARE LIMITED! So it is better to purchase your tickets in advance! Feel free to bring your friends along. The price of the ticket will be the same for non-members.

Old Melbourne Gaol.....Spooky

Fantastic turn out today with a total of 40 participants for the Old Melbourne Gaol trip. Despite being a bit lengthy with the tour guide giving explanations to everything; it was scary in some ways.

Please have a look at our pictures and recap what we all went through the 1st night of our Easter break. Have a enjoyable Easter Break and see you in a week's time.

BBQ Review

Attendance was expected, heaps of food for everyone to eat and most importantly the old meets the new. Enjoyable day I would say; many of the newbies are eager to come for more events and many of them I can see are possible committee members for 2008 :D

Anyway, check the BBQ pictures by clicking on the "Photos - Flickr" on the right-hand side. A sneak picture from the album :D

EVENT: Night Tour to the Old Melbourne Gaol

MSA RMIT will be organising a Night Tour to the Old Melbourne Gaol. This is a rare opportunity to go on an adventurous tour with your friends as this is a private tour booked by MSA.

Explore the imposing interior of the Old Melbourne gaol at night when it would normally be locked and left to the restless souls within.

Experience a creative blend of cutting edge theatre and historical fact that brings the forbidden secrets of the prison to life by candlelight. It will be a guided tour by the 'Hangman' himself.

This is an enthralling tour that you wouldn't want to do alone...The details of the tour follows:

Date: 5th of April (Thursday) - The 1st day of our Easter break
Time: 8:30pm
Venue: Old Melbourne Gaol, Russell Street, Melbourne (Just behind RMIT)
Price:

1. Members - 20 dollars
2. Non-members - 25 dollars
   **Special offer!!! Pay 23 dollars and become a member of MSA RMIT and enjoy the benefits of being a member!!**
   

Please be punctual on that day. We wouldn't want to start the tour late as most of us don't want to stay in the gaol till late to witness any ghostly activities, do we? (Just kidding) We will gather in front of the gaol and collect the payments before proceeding with the tour.

Feel free to bring your friends along! With just 3 dollars extra they get to enjoy the benefits of being a member of MSA RMIT.

Those who are interested please reply to us at msa_rmit@yahoo.com ASAP with your name, number of friends going and your contact details. PLACES ARE LIMITED!!!

The Chinese New Year Spectacular is a variety show introducing Chinese traditional culture and values to both Chinese and Westerners. A lot of effort has gone into bringing this performance to both the wider Chinese communities outside of China, and non-Chinese who have a genuine

With its theme of Myths and Legends and featuring genuine traditional Chinese Culture inspired by Chinas ancient legends and virtuous heroes, it is truly a divinely inspired showpiece of performing arts. This show is coming for the very first time to the best theatre in Melbourne, The Regent. There will be 3 shows at 1pm & 7.30pm on 23rd and 7.30pm 24th March.
