By the way, who dare to do Dr.Yiap's SAQ? So far I know only Li Guo done it, walaueh... really salute him leh, so hard also dare to do, I don't even know how to answer any of the question. Hmmm... first class people really keng leh... erm... or I should say "diamond medalist"

Which Cendol is the best?

Penang Cendol
Location

The famous Penang Cendol's stall



Melaka's Nyonya Cendol at Jonker Street


I tested Melaka's Nyonya Cendol while I was doing my Industrial Attachmet at Xepa-Soul Pattinson at Melaka last year. I really have to admit it is really nice.

Although I still think Penang have a lot of nice food, but this Nyonya cendol with its Gula Melaka toping in viscous form taste better than the famous Penang Cendol near the Komtar.

The Nyonya cendol cost about RM 2.50 , while the Penang Teow Chew cendol is RM 1.50.

Why British think 80% of M'sians coming to UK to study law?

UK Immigration Officer: Purpose of visit?

Visitor: I'm here to study law, sir.

Officer: You know, you must have a lot of lawyers in Malaysia .

Visitor: Why do you say that?

Officer: Well, i've been here for a good twenty years, and I'd say 80%
of Malaysians I see here say they're here to read law.

Visitor: Oh, really? That's really something i never knew. Hard to
believe in fact.

Officer: Just you watch, then. You just stand here until the next
Malaysian comes along, and I'll bet he's here to read law.

*Visitor waits for 5 mins, Ah Chong from Malaysia comes to immigration
counter*

Officer: Mr. Ah Chong, purpose of visit?

Ah Chong: Study lorr...

Another Joke

你知道为什么马来西亚的官老爷贪污被揭发后常不了了之吗?因为…每当见面时, 彼此互相提醒 : "wa salah lu mai kong"

U know why those corrupted politician always get away from being caught? It is because they always remind to each other
"wa salah lu mai kong" when they meet.

Plagiarism-Cheating ? A different perspective

I read an interesting article from today Sunday Star Education section-"Another face to cut-and-paste". I agree with the author point of view, that is, the educational system needs to acknowledge what the paper is today: a work product that tests very particular skills- the ability to synthesize and properly cite the work of others- and not student's knowledge, originality and overall ability.

TurnItIn is a website which provides the software to detect plagiarism, may be IMU is using this kind of software to detect whether we plagiaries our portfolio ...



Actually, I think that the most important thing that counts when you get into the society is to do something efficient . For example, will you spend so much time to do a portfolio when you can just get all the information you want from a journal or a reliable source when you are graduate and just want to update yourself? As long as you get what you want, learn what you want, that's it, what for to spend like 12 hours to do information gathering, drafting, summary, and writing. I doubt neither you nor I would...

300 - Movie Review


Today I went to Mid Valley to watch 300, it had been long on the screen but I can't get people to accompany me to watch (all saying I am busy la, why u so free one? or No thanks...) so I decide to go by myself before the screening ends, coz my friends say it is a nice movie to watch, and I cannot afford to buy original DVD and don't wanna download (ahem... ahem...)

Although the storyline is base on the ancient time, I think that it also apply in Malaysia, that is CORRUPTION causing other people to suffer for personal benefits. I hope all the corrupted politicians who force us to pay high toll, water, and car price will get the same faith as the traitor in the movie!

Overall, I will give it 8 out of 10. Worth to watch it in cinema.

Haiz.... I choose the wrong time to watch the movie actually, coz a few of my friends went to the famous steamboat for dinner nearby Sunway which I always wanted to try, but never had the chance. By the time I come back only myself alone... sigh!

Front from left: Dr.Arjun, Alan

Last time, I don't like PBL that much coz it is more like a lecture presentation... now this semester is more interesting because each of the group member done the PBL in discussion form. There are a lot of funny moment, which keeps me awake, compare with last time... I just zzz, cannot concentrate and basically my soul fly away outside PBL room but just my physical still present... LOL!!!

During my last presentation, I also record down the voice of our presentation. I forgot to start recording until our third presenter (Foot Seng) present, but still is a 1 hour long voice clip (5.5MB), open by quick time if u want.

Last PBL.amr
