O-Week Kick(ass)Off!

Delaqroux Inc Updates!

Today, the campus finally feels like a campus and our lives as uni students, well, actually feels like one once again. I'm not sure if that's saddening for some people but for me, i rather be out in the sun, venturing from one block to another, looking for classes rather than coping up restless in my room when it's such a nice weather outside. Kinda give me a sense of purpose and according to Dr William de Jean earlier this afternoon "everything we do is for a purpose" followed by, "knock your table"(?) Well, in any case, while mass lectures are already online, tutorials are still put on hold up till next week. This is due to the fact that it is still the uni's orientation week and yeah, booth were set up with all-out open registration for clubs and stuffs. I did joined a few as well (and even planning to join even more tomorrow) and i guess i better note it up here before i forget them. Might serve as some guide for those who havent joined any as well.

1. Malaysian Student Association
Everyone claims that it's compulsory but i'm not so sure. I thought it was just an association, no different than other clubs around but eitherways, everyone was super esteemed to join. When i popped the question to everyone who joined in about why the club is compulsory, the only answer i get is; "i dunno. Got free food"
2. Muslim Student Association
I know how i never have any interest on Nuqaba or pretty much any religious clubs in Malaysia but it'll be a good change to venture and find out how does the religious views differ from around the world, even if it's the same religion. And hey, they have a goodie bag and free candies! lolz
3. Student Publication Association
This isnt really a club but its an organization which publishes... well.. monthly, i think.. magazines. You can submit photos, articles, artworks etc. eventhough you're not a member, provided you stick with the month's deadline. But if you do sign up, you'll get email updates on the magazines. If you always have something worth a scoop for the mag, why not, right?
4. Zines Club
Zines is short for Magazine but, as the name implies, it minifies the concept. Yeah, zines are just simple self-made magazines of your doodles, made for the fun of it with no commercial value or whatsoever. So it you love journalism and art, dream of publishing a mag of your own then this is the club for you.
5. Vote 4 Green!
This is pretty a much political club in which they fought for a greener cause (like global warming and stuff). Think of it as a unit of hippies.. i mean, earth lovers and cross it out with a political society that voices out their rights; and there you have it. Dont vote Greed- Vote Green!! (no, i didnt make that up, it was their catchline)
6. Oaktree Club
No, this has nothing to do with conserving the environment. Oaktree, however, is a charity organization that believes that the world of poverty and hardship can be saved with the power of education. Basically, you can get the idea on how the club activities goes like and if you're interested for the cause, join right in!
7. iStudent Association
Whoo-Hoo!! I joined the ISA! Except this time, the ISA does not arrest people but unites them (dude, with a statement like that, i can get arrested too 0.o). It's pretty much like an Interact Club we had during our secondary school where people from different places just sit down, get to know each other and have fun. Widen your network ppl!
UPDATED: I Just found out that it's not iStudent Association. It's actually iClub. Whoopsie.
8. BeMU: You are (NOT) alone
Uh.. i forgot what the abbreviation stands for but regardless, it's another socializing club only this one focuses on mental illness. Yeah, sounds pretty scary. The activity pretty much include having talks and spending time with those with mental depression. This year's focus is a campaign against campus isolation (You are not alone) So yeah, the world can be the happiest place ever if everyone's happy, why not make someone happier?

So yeah, that's about all the club i joined so far. Quite a heavy line-up no? there might still be few more the list that i couldnt remember but if i joined anything (or have already joined) any new clubs, i'll keep y'all posted!
