Thought of sharing some jokes from the email with you:
Teacher: Simon, your composition on "My Dog" is
exactly the same as your brother's. Did you copy his?
Simon: No, teacher. It's the same dog!
Man: How old is your father?
Boy: 1 year older than me
Man: How can that be?
Boy: He became a father only when I was born
A boy came home from school with his exam results.
"What did you get?" asked his father.
"My marks are under water," said the boy.
"What do you mean 'under water'?"
" They are all below 'C' (sea) level!"

Days in IMU
This year 2007 will be the third year Bpharmers have been together. So, there left one year before we change path and move on.
The "White Coat Ceremony" was as though it happened few months ago. Remember the orientation planned for juniors, the T-shirt designing, banners, etc.? It was two years ago (1/5 of a decade).
Then we had hospitals visits during our first year which I didn't understand what the purpose was but to answer the questions in log-book.
Followed by Industrial Visits.. totally got bored with the machines and the gowning procedures. Later on was two weeks attachment at pharmaceutical companies..didn't it just got more interesting?
"Watson de-stress Workshop" at Armada Hotel was interesting though.
Semester 4, we started Malaysian Studies. We got a very enthusiastic lecturer, Mrs.Phoong, who told us stories about Malaysia politics, economy, history and current affairs. What mattered was how she presented the stories to us and not what she had presented. It was then I realised history and politics can be interesting.
Also not forgetting "CULTURAL NITE" which wrapped up our Semester 4 all together. N my junk-band too!
Remember we also had a visitor from Japan? Keiko-kun, Dr.Hiro's student.
"IMU OPEN DAY" where each of us were paid for helping!
Semester 6 we organized the "BLIND DATE SHOW", where we manage to squeeze some money from IMU's "rich and famous". The game was based on voting system where the top three male contestants of highest votes wins a date with the girl candidate also of the highest vote. After the three dates the girl will then decide who will she bring along to the IMU BALL. All votes are price-tagged of course! Votes are in the form of chocolates. More expensive chocolates get more votes. 50% of the profit goes to charity and the rest is for B104 convocation magazine.
Time flies isn't it?

"Nodame Cantabile"or のだめカンタービレ
Have you ever wish to become a musician but didn't have enough talent? Ever dreamt of being part of Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra? Enjoy classical music? Wonder what assignments music student have in uni?
Well, I shall recommend you "Nodame Cantabile", a Japanese drama series based on a comic by Tomoko Ninomiya. Megumi Noda, or “Nodame” is a sloppy, untidy girl who bath every other day and steals friend's lunch boxes. She's an extremely talented pianist whose ambition is to be a kindergarten teacher, she prefers playing by ear rather than reading the music score. Shinichi Chiaki, an arrogant multi-lingual perfectionist who is talented in piano and violin and has a secret ambition of becoming a conductor.
Well, the synopsis might sound boring huh? I thought so too before I started watching. However, it's unlike those Japanese soap drama normally seen on tv which the plot is so slow that you will be able to pick up the story immediately after missing a few episodes.
"Nodame" uses special effect to exaggerate certain movements and actions so that it becomes more comical. Together with the characters' sarcasm and wackiness you can really laugh your head off, even if you are watching alone in the middle of the night!
Besides the comedy, you can get to listen to many beautiful classical symphony, classical piano/violin pieces and concerto. My favourite: Mozart's piano duet. wow! It also reminds people that pieces are better appreciated when one is allowed to express freely.
Worth the time watching. *pssssstt*...Im not a big fan of Japanese stuff but Im recommending this to you. So, go watch!
I give a 9 out of 10.
Take a peak into "Nodame" below (a performance of S.Rachmaninoff Concerto No.2):
Lead actor: The pianist, Tamaki Hiroshi
Lead actress: The mascot, Ueno Juri

Sarawak+Sabah trip '06
Malaysia has got two places which are considered as the World's Heritage. One is situated in Sabah - Mount Kinabalu and the other is in Sarawak - Mulu Caves & Pinnacles.
I have been to Sabah a number of times, but had yet to step foot on Mt.Kinabalu:(
Also been to Mulu but did not get to climb the Pinnacles:'(
However, the seafood in Sabah is incomparable else where in terms of price, freshness, quality, and variability.mmm...
Holiday in Singapura '07
When I was there, one thing that kept distracting me was that I miss Malaysian food so muchhHH!
Nonetheless....
Singapore ONE train system, MRT, is soooo much more efficient compared to Malaysia which is conjointly operated by KTM, PUTRA LRT, STAR, MONORAIL, KLIA EXPRESS...walau!
Why need so many operators when ONE is enough. If MRT can link whole of singapore together, from town to airport, west to east and south to north, why can't KL alone be linked by one operator too?
One example is getting from Berjaya Times Square to KLCC. First, we need the MONORAIL to bring us to the "interchange", then from there we need to walk 500m to reach PUTRA LRT station in order to get to KLCC, while the distance between TIMES SQ and KLCC is merely 8km!
birth of a new blog
Isn't it facinating to see human coming out from another human. JUst like a factory producing its products.
