Welcome to the very first edition of the Gobble Gazette!

Greetings, my fellow gobblers. It brings me great joy to be typing the very first post in our virtual newsletter (THAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO CREATE, MS PRESIDENT!!) as I sit here in the comforts of my own home, in my pyjamas, no less. The creation of the Gobble Gazette signifies the beginning of a great future (food-wise) and I certainly look forward to our next Makan Club outing. Having said all that, the Makan Club is still esentially a club and what is a club without a set of stringent rules and regulations that nobody will adhere to? The swimming club, that's what we would be - which we are not. (No offense to the swimming club. That was only directed towards Steph because she doesn't want to have kids.)

Back to my point. This is a rough draft of the Makan Club rules and regulations. (the main commitee reserve the right to change, retract and break any rule we want to because we are the main committee. Deal with it.)

1. Must love food.

That pretty much sums up the rules and regulations set by the committee at this point of time.

For the time being only 2 posts have been created. At our next general meeting, we will be having an eating competition to determine the people who will be holding all the other positions. Just to brief all of you on the way we handle our biannual General meetings - positions of power are NOT, I repeat NOT, created by democratic votes, but by the amount of food which you can consume. The person who can consume the most will naturally get the highest post (president) and so on and so forth. For all intents and purposes, the rules of election will not apply to Suet May because let's face it, she would be president forever and ever if we follow the current system of election which is based on the person who can consume the largest amount of food.

As was mentioned earlier, we have only agreed on 2 positions so far and they are

Club President : Li Yeen
Club Bozo : Wen Hao

*clap clap*

These people will serve the Makan Club for a duration of 1 semester afterwhich another general election (ie. eating competition) will be held to choose the new committee.

A quick update on the places we have deemed worthy of our presence so far :

Week 1 : Steamboat place in Puchong (I forget the name.)
Week 2 : Backalley coffeeshop in Jalan Raja Laut (it has no name)

Week 3 : Currently in debate (between Murni in SS2 and some naan place in KL)

Till our next Makan Outing.
