24th National Day Celebration in Melbourne, Australia

Come 22nd March 2007, Bruneians in Melbourne celebrate the 24th National Day Celebration at Winners Hall at Arrow on Swanston. The Event was organised by the Brunei Student Society Melbourne (BSSMelb)for all Bruneians and Bruneian students, Permanent Residents of Brunei in Victoria and other parts of Australia.

The whole afternoon event was not only decorated beautifully accordingly to the theme. However, beautiful faces and smiles from various age & races enlighten the event. The event started off with the singing of the Brunei National Anthem by the attendees. A welcome speech was made by Ying Yeu, BSSMelb president ('07-'08) and then by the guest of honor Pg Ayup, Educational Attach'e in Brunei High Commissioner, Canberra, Australia. The attendees was served with Indian Authentic Cuisine and local Bruneian delicacies made by the students. While the attendees are having their meal they were accompanied by contemporary performance performed by various students in the society:

BSSMelb Crew: Cinta
Mahyuddin & Azhan: Itu Kamu
Syazwana & Fawzi: Rindu Bayangan
Azhan, Kamaliah & Muneerah: Say Hello
Lina: Ku Mohon
Closing performance BSSMelb Crew: Sunday Morning

The event would not be complete without the appearance of the photographic session with the attendees, crew and guest of honor. Event was also highlighted with a treasure game by searching and collecting what were being asked for. one of the groups won a $20 Money Price and sweets. The attendees are glad to meet new faces and made new friends.

The National Day event was a success and everyone who attended the event enjoy it. The event was not particularly celebrating National Day however the committee have recruited new members joining the society. The society hope that there will be greater outcome and participants would come and participate their future events.
