PETROVIC Annual Grand Meeting 2009 - 17th October 2009

2009-12-04T01:50:00.008+11:00

First of all, thank you all for attending the AGM.

The AGM was held immediately after the Annual Dinner to celebrate the graduating scholars.The AGM began with Presidential speech, followed by the year's report of activities and report from the Treasurer. Also, amendments of the constitution were also brought forward, mainly about including MISC scholar into the PETROVIC club. This was followed by voting the new committee.

The voting process went on smoothly. Another change that was made was to include another welfare officer so that each university( Melbourne and Monash) have its own welfare officer. This is done so that, the officers are more approachable personally to discuss personal welfare matters.

We would like to thank Melbourne University for giving us the venue in a short notice and the sponsors for the dinner.

Finally, we as the new committee would like to thank the old committee for their contributions made to the club and providing the new committee a smooth transition. Also we would like to thank all AGM attendees and their votes.

Pasar Amal Ria

2009-07-27T09:26:00.004+10:00

Hi all,

Last 19th of July, Petrovic has participated in Jualan Pasar Amal Ria Satay Amal.
This event was intended to raise donation for a mosque, a very noble cause indeed.

So, few of our Petrovic participated in this event like L, Azmir, Kuchai (as dikir barat percussion team), Aida (helping out KUAM booth), Faiz (one of the gerai-keeper) and Atok (as a photographer). Also not to forget, all the members who supported this good event. Big claps to you all.

In the event, there are Malaysian and Singaporean performances, recitation of The Quran, lectures and obviously (duhh) the gerai2 which sells lots of yummy food like satay, mi rebus and laksa sarawak.

The dikir barat performers

Yes, the awesome percussion team. Thank you.

Azmir.

Wassalam.

MUOSS Night Market 2009

2009-04-03T13:24:00.000+11:00

Melbourne University Overseas Student Service or MUOSS had organised an event recently, called Night Market, which was held in Melbourne University. All clubs and societies involved took part by selling food, organising games and carrying out voluntary works like setting up the tents and providing help and support to each stall manager and staff during the event. It was held on the 3rd of April 2009.

The Preparation

The preparation for this event was carried out by us, first year students, who had absolutely no idea of what was going on. However, the goal of this event was fulfilled, thanks to our seniors who provided us with support and proper information on the ways things should be done, et cetera. PETROVIC had decided to sell satays and cendol to raise fund for the club. At the end of our final meeting, we had decided to add in sirap bandung in our menu to boost profitability.

To our surprise, making satay was quite a pain in the neck. The pain does not include the ‘ordeal’ we had to face when preparing them. It was quite difficult to estimate how much meat we were supposed to get since it was our very first time preparing, making and selling satay in a huge number, but with the help of some of our very experienced seniors, the problems we faced got very much alleviated.

The preparation started by estimating how much raw materials we would need. It was pretty tedious as we did not want excess materials lay to waste. Hence, we came up with a budget list which guided us to make sure that we would not go off-budget.

Our journey started early in the morning on the 2nd of April when we (Rusydina, Amir, Chuah, Faizal, Farouq) went to Fitzroy Market to get materials for ‘kuah kacang’ i.e. peanut gravy, of which addition were pivotal in giving our customers’ satay experience an extra kick. It was challenging for some of us as we had to estimate how much ingredient needed. Therefore, a conclusion on the high level of difficulty involved in the process of making estimation was made.

Another meeting was held a night before the big day. At the same time, the preparation of satay began. We started by chopping onions, garlic, chillies and the meat, of course, with the help of everyone including senior scholars. Everyone came to participate in preparing the satay as it was projected to be our biggest profit contributor in the project.

The Big Day

The day was, to our discontentment, rainy. Thankfully, the weather got better later in the evening. Prior to the event’s start, the stall was nicely decorated, thanks to the committee members. Our theme colour was green, so everyone involved during the big day wore green. At around 6 p.m. the process of the grilling of our sinful satays as well as the preparation of our cendol plus sirap bandung started. The project was a success, as most of our food items were sold, especially the satay thanks to our customers and friends who supported us along the way. We managed to sell around 1000 sticks of satays. At the end of the day, we celebrated with some cendol for ourselves and had a great conversation, with apparent mood of paean and relief lingering in the air. The goal of raising fund for the club was met. Thanks to everyone who did their bit in getting involved, directly, or indirectly to the success of our night market project. It is of my great hope that such enthusiasm, and collaborative spirit shown by everyone can be maintained, and further fortified for our future activities to garner even higher level of success.

Annual BBQ and General Meeting

2009-03-15T22:48:00.002+11:00

On sunday, March 15th 2009 we had our Annual BBQ and General Meeting for year 2009. At first we planned to have our BBQ at Princes Park where we can play some games later, but due to the unpredictable weather, we reckon we should stay somewhere sheltered – College Square Lygon. Thus on the day itself a huge texting frenzy hit us as we were trying to inform as many people as possible for the venue changes.

The menu was, as usual: some bread, sausages, BBQ chicken, potato salad and fruits. Although it was chilling like nobody’s business, we managed to cook (but apparently not fast enough, we turned into MONSTERS when it comes to food!) and made everybody happy *grin*.

After eating, its time to talk talk talk. Azmir was the emcee for the day (because I don’t feel like shouting haha), introducing the new students who just landed to Aussie a few weeks before. Mazlan briefed about our annual activity planner, and Faizal was appointed as the head of dinner committees this year.

PETROVIC Annual Dinner 2008 - 3rd October 2008

2008-10-03T18:40:00.006+10:00

Congratulations to the dinner committee, led by Azmir Ariffin, for managing to turn our annual event into one that was truly worthy of the Petrovic name.

The theme was simple enough: celebrating the raya spirit.

Members arrived decked out in traditional attire, and walked down the stairs leading into the halls of Arrows on Swanston, one by one, where there were registered and given their lucky draw tickets. In keeping with the theme, the tables were very simply set with green candles, and each guest received a little package filled with sweets, a throwback to the nostalgia of youth and the sweets that were synonymous with it.

The event formally started with the ushering of our VIPs in, including Dr Ali Abdul Rahman, the Malaysian Education Attaché, and his lovely wife, the Petronas food providers, and Associate Professor Andrew Ooi from Melbourne University as well as representatives from Monash University.

We all laughed at the slide shows and picture presentations that were displayed. We applauded the very entertaining band from Monash, comprised of Zafril, Azmir, Aliyas, Safwan and Mazlan, with their rendition of the classical raya songs – it really set the mood, and who knew Zaf could sing like that?! We laughed at the final years performances chronicling their journey past and journey to come, as expected, with people like Eby and Chap on the team. We sat on the edges of our seats waiting for the lucky draw of the night – although I think the highlight definitely was the ‘duit raya’ that we received, complete with a five ringgit note!

As per tradition, the seniors walked the stage and were presented for tokens of appreciation for their contributions throughout their stay – little glass metcards with their names printed on them, truly Melbourne indeed! It’s always a bit of an emotional moment when we realize that many of us will be ending this chapter of their lives and starting a new one.

Congratulations to the dinner committee for organizing a fantastic event, and the best of luck to our graduating members for their lives to come!

PETROVIC DIGEST

Results

En Ezidy has requested all scholars to please email their semester results to him preliminary to having the university email your results to him. Please email your semester results to En Ezidy at petronas.advisor@bigpond.com and CC it to petsa@acay.com.au.

Semester BBQ

We're excited to let you know that this semester's barbecue will be hosted by the Monash Petrovic kids! Take this opportunity to head over to Clayton (as it's only fair, because we make them drag themselves all the way to the city!) and experience the difference!

Place : Rusden House, Monash University Clayton

662 Blackburn Road, Clayton

Date : 10th August 2008

Time : 1030 am until 130 pm

The Petrovic Committee will probably organize going together some time in the morning if anyone's concerned about losing their way, so join us and let's get lost together!

MASCA Games Reimbursement

There are two parts to this:

Firstly, can people please email me the list of events which Petrovic scholars participated in, and their results as well as pictures so I can put this up on our website (we're proud of you, no matter how you did).

Secondly, and this is incentive for all those who participated, can you please email me your name, university and contact details. Petronas scholars were partially sponsored by Petronas, however, as Petrovic was unaware of this, we are collecting retrospective claims from all you athletes out there so we can reimburse part of your travel costs. I am unsure as to how much we are claiming for, but any money is good money!

Thanks guys! Hoping to see all of you at the first second semester activity, and until then, enjoy what's left of the holidays!!

EVENTS UPDATE

Bringing you your daily dose of what's happening, or will be. Mark these dates in your social calendar, people!

1. MASCA NCG BRISBANE

Dear Victorians,

Last year, Malaysian students studying in Australia had an excellent time during MASCA National Conference and Games (NCG) 2007 that was held in Melbourne. Victoria gloriously won second place. This year, we are proud to announce that MASCA National Conference and Games (NCG) for 2008 will be held in Brisbane, Queensland. It will be a four-day event starting from 1st - 4th July 2008.

Malaysian students from all over Australia will congregate in Brisbane over the winter holidays to take part in various sporting events, the MASCA annual general meeting and a fabulous masquerade ball as the traditional end of the NCG where winners are celebrated, MASCA Idol is contested and everyone gets a chance to eat, drink and be merry.

This year, Victoria will be sending 170 athletes to represent this state and compete in various sports including Frisbee, Sepak Takraw, and Athletics. Together, we will strive for the champion title. We welcome supporters to support our contingent.

There are four packages on offer (please refer“Packages-2.pdf”):

Feel free to buy your own flight ticket; just notify MASCA Victoria beforehand. The prices will be subsidized, but the amount is not finalized yet, as it depends on the amount of sponsorship that we obtain. If you would like to help find sponsors, we have prepared a draft. Feel free to edit it to suit your purpose.

Interview tips for final years: direct from the interviewer!

2008-03-18T18:59:00.000+11:00

Good day Everyone!

I hope the subject is interesting enough to catch your attention! ;)

Upon negotiation with our beloved President, Encik Ezidy has agreed to spare us some time for coffee tomorrow night, March 18th and give us direct tips on interviewer's expectations during the interview session. I know as a graduating student, I'm dying to find out, so people, come join us tomorrow night!

I understand that it is a weekday, but Encik Ezidy has got his schedule full almost the whole day tomorrow. We wouldn't know when is the next time he is to come to Melbourne and thought we should just grab the chance while he's here, so we agreed to meet up at 10pm tomorrow. The plan is to have an informal get together (probably over coffee at Lygon Street).

Due to short notice, I will need immediate RSVP through SMS to my handphone at 04-22684524 (Three Network rocks). I will update the place to gather through SMS to those who have made RSVPs only.

Lets all grab this opportunity, and benefit from it. Looking forward to ongoing SMS alerts!

Have a pleasant week ahead, guys!

Xx.

Meeting with Mr Ezidy, 17th March 2008

2008-03-17T19:01:00.000+11:00

Thank you everyone who made it to En Ezidy’s briefing yesterday!

Attendance was good, even with the short notice and the confusion with the venue, which ended up in Malaysian Hall over dinner.

There was a short welcoming speech by Suhaimi, the Petrovic president, before En Ezidy briefed everyone on the current issues and situations of Petronas scholars throughout Australia.

On an academic note, the number of green certificates given out to Petronas scholars (which, as we all know are an indication of the scholars meeting (or perhaps exceeding) expectations) has increased for 2007.

The new arrangements for accommodation are geared to each student having their own room, and respecting privacy issues, as well as increased comfort to students.

There has been no decision made on the allowance issue. However, the issue was reviewed in December and is still under consideration by Petronas. There is a team that is managing the issue at the moment and student input has been taken in, with the information provided by the Petrovic survey and proposal as a guide.

As a result of the Leadership Forum in Sydney 2007, a Scholars Leadership Development Program was come up with. This is currently piloted in Sydney, and will be further trialed in Auckland before implementation to the rest of the Petronas scholars. The aim of the program is to develop competencies required by Petronas : ROTI BALDO (Reach Out, Take Initiative, Be A Learner, and Develop Others).

The role of Petrovic was reiterated as a platform to develop leadership skills, and attendance was encouraged for all scholars.

On a personal note, congratulations were given to Aishah and Martin for being elected technical representatives for the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).

QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION SUMMARY

1. With the introduction of the AUD50 cap, bills can be prepaid with our own electrical providers, as long as the full receipts are given to the Sydney office. Also, since claims are made once every three months, the total amount claimed is AUD150, and this is irrespective of whether the monthly amount is more or less than AUD50.

Eg April AUD40

Student pays AUD50, where AUD40 goes to existing bills and AUD10 is billed separately as a prepaid electricity account. The claim for both bills (as long as it doesn’t exceed AUD50), is accepted.

Eg. April AUD60 + May AUD40 + June AUD50 = AUD150

Even though April’s bills is above AUD50, because the total claim made does not exceed AUD150 for three months, this claim can be accepted.

2. Claims are tri-monthly and can be made at any time.

3. Final year interviews will be from the 4^th to the 10^th of July, tentatively. For individuals graduating mid-2009, interviews will be held then. The place is still to be confirmed. Petronas will be liasing with MASCA for help to organize transport and information.

4. The allowance proposal is still under review and no decision has been made. It was suggested that a forum between students, the team managing the allowance issues and Hassan Merican be initiated.

Petrovic was one of the clubs invited to attend the Prime Minister's visit with students at the Park Hyatt this 4th of May. Approximately 20 members attended this function.

Kudos to Nicholas Lai Xin Onn for having the courage to speak up and actually ask a question.

For members who were interested in attending but were not able to attend, we apologise for the late notice, as we were not told until the 1st of May. Also, as spaces were limited, we allocated spaces for the first 20 members. The club will endeavour to keep all its members updates with regards to such events.

Motivational Seminar, 22nd April 2007

2007-04-22T19:44:00.000+10:00

We had our first motivational seminar of the year at Charles Pearson Theatre, Melbourne University, which covered the topics of motivation, procrastination and self esteem. We hope that everyone was able to take away something that will help them in their studies. Half our members turned up, which isn't a bad number, considering that the other half had exams and other commitments to contend with. We will still be expecting apology letters from all who couldn't make it!
