Updates!

Greetings ME/DT109!!

I just wanted to make a few announcements before the huge overflow of
updates that is bound to follow after:-

1. Summative 1 results

Will be released this ....
Friday, 2 April 2010. The exact time is still yet to be informed,
so please be on standby for that. For some this is exciting news and
for others this is probably a shock that results are going to be released
so soon. Either way, take it easy because it is just a small fish, the bigger
more important fish is still to come. Regardless, I wish you all the very best in yr results!

2. Batch Blog

I want to revamp this good ol' batch blog of ours. I think it's time for a new face
life and perhaps even a batch logo? Anyways, I will refer to this matter with our
batch's 3 fellow IT reps - however, those with any suggestions on how to make
this blog more 'batch friendly' or might be skilled in blog layout editing and would
wish to contribute do let me know! :)

Zia's Msg

Dear all,

I have messaged you once about this already, but I'm not sure if you've received it. I apologise if you have not, I have been having troubles with my phone.

Please inform all your batchmates that if they eat in the canteen they have to clean up after themselves. This is because to bring down the price of the food the operators have decided to hire fewer workers, hence we all have to make the habit of cleaning up after ourselves (which really isn't anything more than placing our plates on the trolley and cabinets in the canteen). Thanks everyone for their hard work and future compliance to this. :)

On a related note, De Brio is planning to hire two student part time workers for the cafe in the library. The pay is RM 5 per hour, and the timing is from 9 AM to 5 PM. Those interested, please contact me at 016-2578-520 with your name, ID number and contact details. Please keep in mind that they will be hired by the owner of De Brio, not IMU.

Open Day money is coming, don't worry. Just a few issues I need to sort out. However, I would like to greatly apologise for this delay.

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah

Inter-Faith Forum

Hi guys!

Would be great if you could remind your batches about this event through your respective blogs.

The Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist and Catholic Society are having an inter-faith forum on Monday (29th March) at 11 am-1.30 pm at Lecture Theatre 3. Please do come to witness an open and neutral talk on the 'Purpose of Life' by each religion.

Come to learn something new or ask any burning questions you have on religion. It is not often different faiths get to come together to discuss one common topic. Whatever reason it is, this is an event not to be missed! I'm serious :)

The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss. ~Thomas Carlyle

See you there :)

Withdrawal of Jumbo

***
Jumbo's Withdrawal
***

Dear All,

We wish to advise that Jumbo (current main operator) at Pandan Serai Cafe has advised that they will not be renewing their contract which expires on 31 March 2010. Jumbo has indicated that they have been losing money since operation and that their losses were higher since the introduction of vegetarian food by Sri Emas. They had approached us for committed pax and for exclusivity, however, the request does not meet IMU's requirement. From the beginning it had been made known to all operators that:
There would be 1 main operator and maximum of 3 sub-operators
No restriction or exclusivity extended to operators to meet IMU's requirement ie student's limited break time, reduction of re-queuing for other items and Cafe Committee will control the pricing/portions
We are aware that recently Jumbo have been awarded a contract to supply food for a committed 300 pax daily with a company.

We have now secured an interested party (after approaching 3 potential operators) to take over as a main operator at Pandan Serai Cafe. Append below is a brief outline of the New Operator - Impian Rasa Foods for your information:

Impian Rasa Foods was registered on 13 November 2008 and it is managed by family members under the ownership of Puan Nor Azizah binti Mustaffa. Currently they have 3 restaurants under the name of :

- Restoran Mutiara Pedas
- Restoran Mutiara Pedas - Taman Industri
- Restoran Mutiara Iman.

Their main operation, a restaurant is based at Puchong.

They are currently operators of Kesas Canteen since 2008 and they are also supplying packed food to SP Setia Berhad on a daily basis. They are also one of IMU caterers.

Jumbo will cease operation at 3pm on Friday 26th, to clear and clean for handover on Saturday 27th to IMU.

Impian Rasa Foods (New Operator) will take over on Saturday 27th to prepare for operation on Monday 29th as main operator at Pandan Serai Cafe.

Regards,
Wai Ling

Gaming Event
***

On the 24th of March, the IMU Ball 2010 committee will be organising a GAMING EVENT! There will be BAND HERO and DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION available so start practising at home, be it dancing in the streets or singing in the showers. Talent or no talent, we want to see all of you there. It will be a rocking good time so do drop by, relax a little and relieve yourself of the stress that's found around every corner within IMU. Who doesn't love those funky dance mats and a chance to shine at playing a guitar or beating away clumsily at the drums. It doesn't happen every day in IMU so DO NOT MISS OUT ON YOUR GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW OFF TO YOUR PEERS YOUR SUPERB HAND-EYE COORDINATION!

The event will be held at the student lounge with the PS3 set and games there whereas the dance dance revolution game will be organised within the very cosy enclave of the dance room. Light snacks and refreshments will be available in case you have burnt off all the calories and need some refuelling. Oh and we have GRAN TURISMO 5!!! For those of you who have always dreamt of releasing your inner rempit, seize this chance now!

Each participant will be required to pay a small fee of RM3 for 2 rounds. The winner of each round gets to stay on to play until he/she is beaten to pulp and faces the shame of losing.

Details are as follow:

Venue: Student Lounge & Dance Room
Date : 24th March 2010
Time : 10.30am - 4.00pm
Fee : RM 3 for 2 rounds (winner stays until he/she loses)

MUET & IELTS Workshop
***

Dear Reps,
Just a gentle reminder as I am seeking your assistance to inform all the students for all programmes that the above 2 workshops would be run in IMU soon. Do inform the students and it would be a good idea for you to pass the names of those interested to Ms Danielle Ho at the Postgraduate Office [Office Ext 1302] on Level 1. as she is in charge of the registration.
Apparently, there are still a number of IMU students who are yet to fulfill their minimum English Language IELTS & MUET requirements. It is especially important for all PMS/PDT as well as the MPharm and the Health Science students who have opted for credit transfer to the universities in Australasia fulfill these requirements asap before the matching exercise carried out in early Sem 5.
Please find the attached flyers containing the necessary detailed information, although please note that the date for IELTS workshop is now 10-11 April 2010 and the MUET programme will now be in the afternoon from 1.30-5.30pm.
Thanks a lot for all your assistance.

SRC Nomination 2010

***

Hi guys, this is Naomi Grace from ND109. currently i am running a campaign for the Public Relation Liaison post from Student Representative Council. winning the campaign is not the greatest thing; the greatest thing is to be able to represent the community to voice out their opinion.

Are you satisfied with the food from the canteen? do u think that there's enough places in the cafeteria to accommodate all the students? having any difficulties in printing your notes? bring the matter to me and i will try to solve it for you.. stop fretting, hugz.. i am there for you people.. no matter sunny or rainy, no matter morning or nighttime.. my ears will always be there to listen, my msn will always appear online..

"we ARE who we ARE" .. why should IMU segregate the different batches during games and matches? putting aside the different courses that we are taking, we are basically the same human being. humans who love singing, love drawing, love clubbing (i love it too myself XD) .. so why ME108 versus BP109 in a badminton
match? we should form our own team and compete against other universities.. try 2 imagine a futsal team consisting of N&D, BP, ME, P, BM, PC, PS, NU ... competing against other universities.. and we won... Unity? ABSOLUTELY!! we are one family, we are IMUians.. "I AM YOU"

why care about what people say about us?? we are "we" !! a pharmacist need not be serious, he can be a dancer while being a pharmacist. just break all the traditions and bring out our true self !! Roarrrr...

not satistied with the services SRC is contributing? we would love to hear from you. please voice out your views, we would be appreciate every word that you contribute.

please voice out your opinion concerning these unsatisfactory matter, and i will try my best to solve it for you.

there's still so much that i would want to type here. but i think it will make the mail very draggy. however i can assure you that what i can do for you all is not just the merely few thing which i had stated above. there's still so much more to do. let's hold hands together and form a better, and brighter future XD


the power is in your hands now. vote me to see a difference. i promise you that i will serve IMU and you all with a humble and truthful heart. hope to converse with you all soon.


Yours sincerely,
Grace

Chili Earthquake Fund-raiser
***

Dear all,

In our term in SRC we have had a few fund-raising events to help out devestated areas and IMUs adopted Orang Asli Village (Kg. Angkat). The following is how much we raised in total for them.

1. Indonesian earthquake (batch to batch collection) - RM 700
2. Kg. Angkat (Halloween Night) - RM 2650 (of which RM 2500 will be used to install a manual water pump)
   
3. Hope for Haiti (with P110 and Hope for Haiti ad hoc committee) - RM 11,218

Our last fund-raising event will be for the Chile Earthquake (which will be batch to batch collection).

We would like to thank all students for being so magnanimous. You have really demonstrated just how wonderful and caring IMU students are.

Warmest regards,

IMU Gym
***

To all students of IMU,

The IMU Gym is one of the most highly trafficked areas in IMU. However, it does lack some things. The treadmills have a few problems, there are not enough weights, and too few dumbells, and the equipment malfunctions on occasion. The IMU Health & Fitness Club has been working since day one trying to make it better, and have achieved a small measure of success (evidenced by lockers in the gym, and replacing some wires in the circuit machine).

Amongst other requests, we are lobbying for a computer, a radio (or speakers at least), a security camera, air purifiers, additional weights, consistent maintenance and above all, new equipment. And so on, and so forth...

HOWEVER,

It has become extremely difficult as of late to convince the management in IMU to part with the funds necessary to get all this. This is mainly because of the belief that the gym is not used very often. Because of this, from the 12th of March Onwards there will be a sign-in sheet attached to to door of the gym, or the board next to it.

It is not compulsary to write in one's name and student ID. But in doing so, you will give us proof that the gym IS being used, which will give us the numbers we need to perhaps convince management to speed up in giving the the gym, and the students what facilities we deserve.

So if you happen to use the gym, please write your name and ID as a show of support. Proof of usage could be all we need to convince IMU that the gym needs upgrading/fixing/maintenance, and needs it now.

On a side note, we are also looking for potential candidates for the new committee. Interested individuals please SMS your name, course and student number to 012-3040-397, or email imugym@gmail.com. We will update everyone when application forms will be available.

Thank you all,

Arthur Leow

Misc.
***

1. Communication Skills Training

Since Communication Skills training has been taken over by CSU and is no longer under the Behavioural Science department, all Communication Skills sessions are compulsory, especially those during Rotations (Semester 3&4). With immediate effect, attendance will affect students EOS paper eligibility. (So please, do skip those classes to study for exams.)

2. Pathology Lab
Dr Sri Kumar has kindly requested that students attend all designated Pathology Lab sessions as Lecturers feel that the time and effort put into teaching at Lab sessions are wasted as very few students attend.

3. Alumni Talk (USMLE)

Justin from M207 will be coming to IMU Bukit Jalil to give a short talk about taking the USMLE exams after Semester 4 lectures (about 6pm). For those interested, the talk will be held at the discussion rooms at Level 2 (near AAD).

That's all for now!

Warmest regards,
