PETROVIC DIGEST
1. 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.
2. 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!
3. 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”):
Package 1 (Athlete + Accommodation): AUD 250 - Accommodation, Games Participation, Food, Ball, Merchandise
Package 2 (Athlete + No Accommodation): AUD 150 - Games Participation, Food, Ball, Merchandise

Return flights are estimated to be AUD250-300. 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.

Salam and hello to everyone
Petrovic would like to invite everyone to talk a break from their mid-semester stessors and assignments to have a fun, light-hearted night out with friends for our first ever:
GAMES AND TRIVIA NIGHT!
There will be prizes (because we love all of you so much), fun and games. Details are as below.
Location : Multipurpose Hall, College Square Lygon St
Date : 25th April 2008 (Anzac Day)
Time : 7.45 pm until 10.00 pm
Food will be sent to College Square that Friday for all those who are staying in the city. If you have a valid reason for not coming, please e-mail our welfare officer Rusydina at nur.rusydina@petronasvictoriaclub.org before Friday morning so she is able to inform our food providers.
All Petronas students are welcome to attend (because all work and no play makes us very dull boys and girls).
Hope to see you all there!
Cheers and wassalam,

It was a good turn-out, and Strike Bowling Bar was filled with loud, laughing, cheering Petronas scholars that Thursday.
It was an individual competition, with the best five representing Petrovic for the future inter-club bowling competition in April. Great job, guys, and we appreciate the turnout, especially the ones who came all the way from Monash!
Congratulations to the top 5 who’ll be representing Petrovic at the inter-club competition this April!
