Pre-SIFE World Cup

The beginning of SIFE UMS' physical journey to the World Cup. For the five days we were in Kuala Lumpur, we had several things to do before leaving to Berlin.

And for that five nights, our 'home' was this beautiful, classic, but apparently very haunted building: The Heritage Station Hotel. Maybe we were just to chaotic so I don't think many hauntings occured to us when we were there.

On Monday, the 28th of Sept, we had a presentation to some big shots of Khazanah Nasional, right at the top floor of Mercu UEM.

Tuesday, the 27th, we had to make a courtesy call to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at Wisma Putra.

Wednesday, another presentation in the Ministry of Higher Education with Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah, Deputy Minister of Higher Education. En. Redza, Chairman of SIFE Malaysia, and Dr. Kassim, our incredibly supportive Deputy Dean of Student Affairs, were also present.

We did alright at this point of time, but PRACTICE was the keyword throughout this journey. The presenters spend a few hours, several times a day practicing the presentation. Are we ready for the competition? Bring it on!

Breaking chains for change.

SIFE World Cup 2009

Today SIFE UMS begins its physical journey to Berlin. After months of preparation, hardwork, turmoils, obstacles, sweat, laughter, tears, sleepless nights, and puffy eyes, we are leaving for KL, our first part of the journey.

SIFE UMS will be in KL for the next five days doing more preparations (read: practice, practice, practice!) and courtesy calls with the big people before we leave the country on the 1st of October.

For the first time, the Malaysian team will be showcasing several never-seen-before ethnic groups (stay tuned!) during the cultural fair and we'll be bringing along a furry friend :)

Keep us in your prayers and thoughts. Wish us, the pioneering SIFE UMS team to be competing at this level, the very best. We promise we shall strive and do our utmost to succeed.

Remember our mission statement:

Breaking Chains For Change

HAPPY MALAYSIA DAY

SIFE UMS would like to wish everyone a very Happy Malaysia Day!

Embrace cultural diversity, like us :)

"For we are of one family, Malaysia."
