Pumping it Up for Malaysian Night!

If you haven’t already noticed, Malsoc’s blog had a makeover! A fresh look for a change~

This time round of the year would probably be the most stressing part as everyone grits their teeth, anticipating for the results of their previous semester examinations. For that, I wish all of you the best of luck with it!

Meanwhile,  behind the scenes, practices and rehearsals for this year’s Malaysian Night (on the 19th March 2011) are on the go!

Feel free to contact anyone in the committee if you would like be a part of our “crew”

Stay tuned as we will be keeping you updated with more exciting news! Expect the teasers coming in very soon, and probably you will be seeing some familiar faces

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended Malsoc’s Chinese New Year dinner and we hope that you enjoyed it as much as we did!

xoxo Malsoc Comm.

Trip to Coniston, Lake District

As all of us are finishing our exams, why not reward yourself with a worthwhile trip! This time round, Malsoc will be organizing a trip to the breathtaking Coniston located in Lake District on the 29th January 2011(Saturday)!

The perfect adventure for a breath of fresh air outdoors!

For those who have not heard of Coniston or Lake District, you might have actually seen lots of pictures but not know of it. Here are some pictures to enlighten you

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The itinerary of the trip will be as the following:

7.30 a.m. Depart from King’s Road to Coniston

10.30 a.m. – Arrival at Coniston

10.30 a.m. – 12.00 p.m. – Tour in Ruskin Museum

The Ruskin Museum as ‘the most thought-provoking in the Lakes’ for its authoritative and inspiring introduction to the history of Coniston from its geological origins, through its associated extractive industries of slate-quarrying and copper-mining, and its archaeology and industrial history, through land use and fell-farming, to its most famous literary and cultural icons – John Ruskin 1819-1900, the great Victorian pundit on art, architecture, & ethics & moral values, who was one of the first to identify the climate-changing results of industrialisation; Arthur Ransome 1884-1967, sometime Bohemian,journalist, possible secret agent, and the master story-teller who transformed children’s literature with his ‘Swallows & Amazons’ adventures; and Donald Campbell 1921-1967, the legendary Speed Ace who broke the World Water Speed Record seven times [four of them on Coniston Water, where he was killed, attempting an eighth Record] in his innovative jet-powered hydroplane, Bluebird K7.

12.00 p.m. – 2 p.m. : Outdoor Walk

Walk and lunch (pack or buy your own) (We’re going to follow ‘the Coniston notebook trail’. You should have received a pdf file in your mail, so read more about it if it sparks your interest.) It’s an easy and very walkable trail.
Which then leads us to…

2.30 p.m. : Boat Cruise

40 mins Cruise around the Coniston lake. The boats are solar and battery electric powered so that should be interesting.

4 p.m. : Depart for Newcastle.

For all this, the trip will only cost you £28. *Which includes the transportation fees to and fro to Coniston, the entry fees for Ruskin Museum and the cost of the Boat Cruise.

However, if some of you are not too keen on the boat trip or to the museum, and want to just walk around Coniston we’ll sort something out for you.

For more enquiries, please feel free to email Phey Feng at p.f.lo@ncl.ac.uk.

If you are interested in the trip, please transfer the money to Cecilia by this coming Wednesday. The details for payment are as the following:

Till then, we hope to see you very soon! And all the best for those who are still having their exams!
