Uni-2-disaster week 14 report

Wow!!! it has been more than 2 months since this blog is dead. I have been so lazy and busy** with all my assignments and Buddhist Society's stuff that there was not a single movement in this blog till now!!!

I don't have much to say actually. Being Buddhist Society's Newsletter Manager looks easy, sounds easy, but... it isn't easy to me. I'm not complaining at all, in fact I'm very very greatful to be chosen to serve the Buddha Sasana and to bring Buddhism to more people. So far the IMUBS team are working very well and getting overwhelming response from new and also senior members. As a relatively new member myself, I feel a sudden wake up call has rang in the society. I wouldn't know whether it is a usual response every year, but what I can say is, I'm contented already. As Newsletter manager, I have created 2 issues with a style very different from that of my predecessor, hopefully everyone likes it. I've also created the IMU Buddhist Society blog which takes a larger step to increase circulation than the dying/dead Friendster account.

As semester 2 is ending, despite only having 2 posts talking about it, I would not be saying much. EoS has only 2 subjects, 2 big and extremely technical subjects. But with 2.5 weeks to study, I can't complain about anything. I just gotta get all my notes, find a nice spot in IMU's freezing library, and snooze on the books with hopes that the vast knowledge can diffuse into my head. yup! That was a joke by Prof PP when I entered semester 2. I just can't wait for the 4.00pm of 6 October, the time when semester 2 truly ends.

That does not mean that holidays have started, at least not for me. Preparations for our juniors, specifically the P110's orientation has started and as part of the video team, I would have to be starting work on the stuff for our juniors. I expect it to be fun all the way for everyone or at least for me *I kinda like making videos*. ***For those in the P110 orientation BOD who have a video camera, camcorder or anything equivalent, can you spare it for our shooting? Thnx***

By the way, I came across a very nice video from Youtube with a bunch of guys singing a medley of Michael Jackson's famous songs remixed. I has a mixture of The Way You Me Feel, ABC, I'll Be There, Man In The Mirror, Smooth Criminal, Billie Jean, Thriller and Beat It. Enjoy it!!!

Before I go, I'll like to wish all Muslims in the World, "Selamat Hari Raya Aildilfitri!" Enjoy your holiday if you have it!!!

Uni-2-disaster Week 2+3 Report

Despite having extra time from the more relaxing semester, I have been occupying myself with several un-beneficial stuff. But recently in uni, we were divided in many groups depending on subjects and were given projects and assignments to be done together. For BM, there is this long karangan, for English, there is a presentation of advertisement, for Physiology, there is this Cardiovascular thingy and an unknown project for statistics.

But academic does not rule my body as much as the spiritual part. Nothing feels better than getting my religious knowledge to good use again. Just a few days ago, I've attended the 4th Ehipassiko Leadership Camp with little to no knowledge about IMU Buddhist Society. Mar-Jie, Jaa Ming and Lee Wun was also there. I know I've not really attended many camps but for a Buddhist camp, this is the one that changes my perception of camps. Throughout my life so far, I've attended only 5 camps, 2 D2YCs, 1 Scouts camp, 1 Meditation camp and this one. Amongst all of them, the Ehipassiko camp and the meditation camp was the most comfortable ones since they don't involve much sweat and muscle aches.

This camp is more about leadership skills as the name suggests. I surely had lots of fun there. If you want to know more, please go to IMU Buddhist Society's new blog to see read the other article I wrote.

English presentation is tomorrow for our restaurant named HanZ, the Dim Sum & Dessert specialist. Hopefully everything goes on well...

Ahmir is Rising

To start this post, you would probably start asking "What is this Ahmir?". But before I answer this questions, I have 2 more for you to contemplate on.

• Have you ever heard songs by the Jonas Brothers and think that they where singing through their nose too much?
  
• Have you ever watched the Hannah Montana Movie and felt that it wasn't worth paying to watch in the cinema at all?

I know these 2 questions are quite insulting to fans of Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana, but before you start cursing at me, listen to another group of singers. They are called the AHMIR. From Philadelphia, Boston, and New York, members Big Mike, Sing-Sing, KC, Mr. Jones formed their group in 2005 and has spawned an album named "The Gift".

The next question is "What is Ahmir to do with the 2 questions above?". To answer this, you would have to listen to their version of Jonas Brothers' When You Look Me In The Eyes and Miley Cyrus's The Climb.





Now those it feel different? If you like their style, you can watch more of their videos in Youtube. I also recommend listening to their version of Beyonce's Halo and If I Were A Boy, Britney Spears's Womanizer, Mariah Carey's Bye Bye, Kelly Clarkson's My Life Would Suck Without You.

Uni-2-disaster Week 1.5 Report

For the past few days, I have been going through a totally different phenomenon compared to semester 1. If you have been reading Uni-disaster, you would know that the whole semester has essential stereotypes, for example, lunch group is less than 10, long lecture hours and lots of practicals. But for this semester, the lunch group number increased 2 fold, large lecture spreads, projects sprouting and most of all, only 4 practicals (which means less reports to write!!!).

It is really hard to get used to these "strange happenings" but with humor, laughter has been and ever will be the best medicine. Like a new segment in a TV show, CV created a craze for charade that is hilarious by making us guess songs and movies from her convincing actions. Today, I've just watched the newest movie in the market, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It is always nice to watch a movie on the day it officially opens and I can't believe I did it twice this year so far, the first was Star Trek. As a movie, it amazes viewers. As a Sci-Fi movie, it exhibits lots of CGI movement. As a big Sci-Fi movie, it is true to it's definition. To sum it up, only a simple 2 syllable word can describe it, PERFECT!!!

Uni-2-disaster Week -1 Report

Holiday is over guys and gals!!! (awkward grunt...) It always happens this way, waiting for holidays to come at the start of semester, then looking forward to the start of the next semester. But at the last moment of holiday (which happens to be NOW to me), the long holiday didn't seem long enough to satisfy me. I guess this must be some sort of dissatisfaction in life.

Getting into my long sleeves, long dark trousers, neck hugging tie and black shoes makes me feel this weird deja-vu. It is like repeating the same old procedure as I have dreamt of for the the past few nights.

By the way, all photos from the holiday will be shown in later posts. But there is nothing much to show since my holiday was spent mostly in my own home (what to do? poor mah!)

To my surprise, I came to IMU at 9am this morning to find that the first official lesson is at 10.30am for the usual briefing by Prof. Peter at LT3 rather than the expected 11.45am class. If you are reading this and you are a P109 student still in your pyjamas, GET DRESSED NOW!!! Around 10.20am, I only realised I've been PUNKed by the AAD lady... GERAM!!!!! that had a domino effect on me and my fellow batchmates and I accidentally kena-ed all of them. So now I am WANTED... :'(
