1. Imperial Malaysian Night 2010

Dear all,

That time of the year is here once again!
Imperial College Union Malaysian Society presents:
Malaysian Night 2010: Born to be Vile

At its heart this is a human story about love and hate, about revenge, about Malaysian culture, and about how life is all about different points of view.

Meet Bruce Weng, Malaysia's biggest timber tycoon. He's rich, he's handsome, he's TIME Magazine's Man of the Year (and also FHM's Sexiest Man of 2010). Then one night his house is blown up and his life comes crashing down. He's convinced this is the work of his former business partners: Donald Tiram, Malaysia's biggest oyster sauce manufacturer, Datin Hillary Kelentong, and Bill Backgates, CEO of the MicroHard Corporation. But who's the good guy in this story? Throw in an obsessive police detective, some bumbling sidekicks, and the stage is set for an epic story of good and evil.

Are people born evil? Or do they grow evil? Come find out in BORN TO BE VILE.

The event details are as follows:
Date: 26th & 27th February 2010
Day: Friday & Saturday
Time: 7:00pm - 10:30pm
Venue: Great Hall, Imperial College London, South Kensington
Ticket Price: £10 (traditional Malaysian kuih served after the show)

FoodCycle (previously known as FoodWorks) is currently searching for new Project Leaders to lead the FoodCycle Team - New hires are integrated into the current team of Project Leaders as part of a continually updated team of leaders.


A PROJECT LEADER- recognized as a year long place with FoodCycle: Imperial.

WARNING: Not for the faint of heart, it’ll be a challenge, but we promise what you will get out of the opportunity will be well worth it. Read these testaments of previous project leaders.,,

".. I realised that being a Project Leader was the most challenging and worthwhile thing I was doing at college."

"Being a Project leader was fantastic, apart from being very tired at the end of a Sunday, I felt awesome that we got all the cooking and delivery done. It was a warm and happy tired feeling".

"Taking part is fun, but i learnt and did so much by becoming a full project leader with FoodCycle".
"FoodCycle and their organisation is well known within charities." 

" ... the support and training that we receive as Project Leaders from headquarters is of the highest quality"


If you want to LEAD this project AND MAKE IT GROW, we are accepting applications and holding interviews now!
