Dinner to welcome new members. Teluk Gong



On the 14th of October 2011, the members of SCSC club had a get-together dinner to welcome the new members of the club. The dinner took place at a restaurant named, Coconut Flower. The restaurant is located in Teluk Gong and is well-known for their seafood.

Before heading to the location, every committee member gathered at Sunway University College at 5.45pm to have a head count, ensuring that everyone is present. Once the head count is done, the members took off to the restaurant. Unfortunately, Ms Fong was not able to join due to her obligations of taking care of her child. The members reached at the restaurant at 7.00pm.

Daphne, the president of the club took initiative to take orders for food serve because as a respect to some international students, the food served must be halal. The menu consisted of vegetables, and various types of poultry as well as seafood. The food there was delicious. Once the food arrived, everyone had a good time filing their stomach. The dinner provided a platform for senior committee members and junior committee members to get to know each other. After eating, the seniors and juniors had a good time talking to each other.

All in all, the objective of the dinner, which is to make the members of SCSC club closer and more comfortable with one another. The objective achieved by creating as members are comfortable among all seniors and juniors. I hereby represent all of the new members of the club to thank all the seniors for putting in the effort to make the juniors feel welcomed in the club.

SCSC goes Broga.


It was pretty dark morning that the whole group agreed to reach at Sunway University College side gate at 3.45am. It may be new a little early for other some members to actualy force themselves to wake up at such morning just to get prepared for the disastrous Broga hill climb. The whole team of SCSC agreed to go for a climb at Broga Hill for the sake of sunrise. Everyone was there except Lydia and Thomas for some appropriate reason, therefore, they’re free to be absent. How fortunate that the young bloods of SCSC agreed to join the climb and they actually managed to wake up for the climb.

Ms Fong, the SCSC new club advisor was unable to join the climb with the team because she have to bring her 3 months old baby for vaccination. The joy couldn’t be any much fun because Ms Fong was not able to join for the trip but yet, our president , Ms Daphne Wong tried her best to make the whole trip a memorable. Upon waiting for everyone to reach at school, it was already 4.15 and everyone divided into 5 cars and the trip starts right everyone fitted into the car. During the process of driving to destination, the car was aligned for safety purposes and all cars remained at 100km/h as an appropriate speed in order to make sure every car is able to catch up and be safe during the trip.Ms Alexis, vice president, took the initative to guide the whole trip, and she was assigned to take the first car driven by Teng Thiam Woon in his Nissan X-Trail to lead the whole group. Signal lights, phone calls, hand signal was all used while driving to Broga Hill to make sure everyone is safe and keeping on track. Yong, escorted at the back of all other member's car to make sure all the car were save and not cutting the line between each other members car. The whole trip was hilarious. We all have ups and downs during the drive because the road were all dark and gloomy and also hazzy filled with morning bliss vapour.
Upon reaching beneath the hill of Broga, every members was “woahhhhh, so dark ah!” because during that time it was only 5.30am. Rooster have also not awakened yet that time. The plan for this trip is to be early for the sunrise or else it will all be a waste for a long drive but
could not make it for the sun rise. Therefore, everyone reached there early and gears up for the trip. Some of the members with jacket to avoid getting cold and bags loaded with water bottles to kill exhaustion. Daphne Wong, and Alexis will be leading towards the climb and Alex and Yong volunteered to escort the back to make sure no members were left behind and also to avoid any unwanted accident. This is because we prioritised the safety of the members first and to make the whole trip a great go and back.

The climb was really exhausting where we have to break several stops because some of the members could not catch up and have to lay down for a deep breath to catch up. As mentioned, no man leaves behind. Alex, Julian and Yong was there

cheering for other members to enhance their motivation to climb the hill because it was already half the hill and most of the members seems tired and on the process of giving up. We motivate each other giving verbal and physical support to make sure every members reach to the top and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sunrise. Climbing the hill maybe one thing, but pothholes, slippery ground, trees roots are all obstacle that we have to overcome together. It was never a easy climb for first time members. It is certainly a great challenge for members and to show their teamwork in
helping each other to get to the hilltop. This climb was a success because of the objective achieved from this trip, which is teamwork and communications.Not much could say about the whole climb because it will be never easy to describe the whole trip. Therefore, pictures will be upload to do the talk and shows the adventurous trip. Flash lights were flashing all the way to capture good pictures and memories of the time spent with other members at the top of the hill.

After a while, every members decided to get down to the feet of the hill, and have a great group pictures and go for a morning breakfast. Some members decided to forward to damansara while others headed back to Sunway SS14 for great herbal pork ( Bah Kut Teh) . Chatters and laughters were all over the shop about the trip and everyone decided to go back for a good rest after the meal. The time spent was nonetheless than a grateful memories with other juniors. It was a great trip indeed.
