Movie Night :D

Hello All!

The movie night last week was an amazing success, we got a bunch of great people coming over and we watched the movie "Haramiya Thailand". The movie was fun, and it was great to see fresh new faces over at the event. Here are some pictures:

Some of the attendees left too early before I got my camera out, so they didn't get a chance to photograph :(
Oh well, for sure next time! :D

Freshers' Fayre 2006 in Pictures

fatigue is just too much! We all had a really long day. And everbody worked hard
We're very excited to be welcoming all new members, as well as returning ones!

Find Your Shaganga-gang!

Well if you find anybody around campus with these t-shirts, just grab them from their neck and ask any information about Brunel Arabs. But don't forget to memorise their faces, they might be hiding in normal casual clothes on other ocassions. OR they might be in diguise of big fruity bananas! GET THEM!

So those T-Shirts were made for us to promote ourselves, and if you happen to find our blog through posters or any publication around campus, that's a good sign. Otherwise, Hey Welcome! You stumbled on Brunel Arabs' blog!

No updates so far, we were able to construct a good mail list but we still need to fill out more names, that will take place mostly on Monday and Tuesday since 27th is Hecticday when the freshers' fayre will be happening. Just wish me and my fellow hardworking Arabs (yes, and I mean Salem - hehe) the best. Remember, if you signed up to the mailing list, you should come and see us in the Freshers' fayre if possible!

FRESHERS WEEK @ BRUNEL!

Finally! The day has come, new Freshers came into Brunel. Whether Undergrads or Postgrads, they're all good! Its really exciting to see the university pumped back with tonnes of students. And the diversity at this university is absolutely amazing. We're having total fun, and so can you!

Just to inform you all, and you'll notice our posters around that we'll be in the FRESHERS FAYRE on the 27th of September, 2006. So Why don't you come over, we'll have a little chat with you and you'd be able to register as a member to our society. We'll be eagerly waiting for your arrival!

For the mean time, I advise you to visit the UBS website for latest updates on current events in the university. Try not to miss out, there a lot of fun events to be involved in. Like today's Fruits and Vegetables vending at the academy! hehe. Gotta love those Kiwis!

The event was absolutely awesome, probably a small number of people, but still they're all important and we had so much fun. People who weren't able to make it, hard luck, maybe next time we'll see your pretty faces. You missed out some event!

Since this was my first timer, I think I did quite well and I never realised as an organiser you'd be crazed about it from the very beginning of the day! I just can't stop saying it was great, it was great. I had Freekeh with Chicken and it was very nice! Along with Falafel, Tabbouleh, Wara' Enab (Vine Leaves or Yalanji), Herra' Esba'o and much more. Abu Zaad has great food choices with seriously outstanding prices!

This is part of the group as we were leaving Brunel, and stomped over Isambard's extremely short statue! Quite a fun photo!

(L-R) Fahed, Zayyad, Ziad, Ammar

Well,
Tuesday 18th of July was the first day of the 3-Day Graduation of Brunel University. And of course many Arabs are shooing out of it, which is quite sad, because I've made great friends with them. ANYway, they'll be around for sure and still be involved within the current university's Arabic Society.

These are the ones I can remember, I think there are a bunch more. I got some shocks hearing out total Arabic names, and people walking on stage, looking Arabic without me knowing about them. It's funny how I HUNT for Arabs in the uni. If you just see the way I barge into a group when I see them approaching to say Hello. HEHE -- Gotta work my Social bottom off in this matter, right?

and a nation that doesn't care...
