IMU Comes First in International Triathlon

A Farmosa International Triathlon 2008

The A Farmosa International Triathlon was held on 10-11 of May in A Farmosa Resort, Malacca. It was a spectacular race which attracted hundreds of triathletes, swimmers, cyclists and runners from all over Malaysia and even countries like Australia, Japan, Singapore etc. It is an event which consists of 1.5km swim, 40km cycle, and 10km run, and it was divided into individual category and team category.

This year, IMU sent two teams to compete in the male relay category and mixed relay category respectively.

The male team consists of Jeremy Er Anke (swimmer), Jeremy Cheah Gin Tatt ( cyclist) and Lee Kuan Ken (runner), and the mixed relay team consists of Selene Chew (swimmer) and Jimmy Tee Chin Li (cyclist and runner). All five of them are from M206. Besides relay team, IMU also sent a triathlete – Tan Jackie (M205), who did all three disciplines himself in the individual category. It was his first attempt in triathlon. All of them were representing Infinity Milers and swimming club from IMU.

After rounds of fighting in the water and on the road, the mixed relay team from IMU emerged first in the mixed relay category, beating 15 other teams to clinch the championship trophy. The other male relay team and the male triathlete also did reasonably well in the race. The final results with timing will be released soon. For full results, please visit http://www.triathlonmalaysia.com/.

It was truly a great experience and all of the participants would like to take this opportunity to thank IMU and everyone for the support. They promise to continue to train hard to bring IMU name to greater height, and to embody a well-rounded education in the university.

Wanna increase our batch funds?

Here's how...

Join the Big Mac Chant. >>>http://www.nuffnang.com.my/bigmacchant.

I thought that since our batch is BIG. We could win this. But need many supporters cos it's based on votes. And if we win, we'll get RM10,000. And that's a lot!!

*drools over imagination of the prize money*

*snaps out of dreaming*

This can only be a reality if a very good video is produced and submitted and is voted for. So it needs loads of co-op to succeed.

About the contest.. Yeah.. nearly forgot.

Big Mac Chant

“Two All-Beef Patties,

Special Sauce, Lettuce,

Cheese, Pickles, Onions

On A Sesame Seed Bun!”

How It Works

Just take a video of yourself doing the Big Mac Chant and you just could be the winner of RM10,000!

Once you video-ed yourself doing the Big Mac Chant, upload it unto www.youtube.com and email the URL and your contact number to our friendly contest master at BigMacChant@nuffnang.com.

Title your email Big Mac Chant! Once our hardworking moderators look through your entry and verify that it does not contain any thing rude/ wrong (you have to get the chant right), we will link it up here and you will be in the running for yes, the BIG prize of RM10,000!

Contest is valid only until May 28 2008.

Judging Criteria

Entries are judged based on Creativity, Relevance Of Content (No paraphrasing the chant!) and Effort (AKA how much you impress us). Popular votes make up 40% of the judging scale, and McDonald’s® own panel of judges make up the other 60%.


So we will need a leader to get people to cast, direct, shoot, edit, submit..etc... and yeah.. VOTE.

So, it's just another contest... for RM10,000...

*imagines what the money can buy... books? food? clothes? shoes? holiday?*

Keep dreamin'

Reliable Diet Advice

---

Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable slop.

Q: Is beer or wine bad for me?
A: Look, it goes to the earlier point about fruits and vegetables. As we all know, scientists divide everything in the world into three categories: animal, mineral, and vegetable. We all know that beer and wine are not animal, and they are not on the periodic table of elements, so that only leaves one thing, right? My advice: Have a burger and a beer and enjoy your liquid vegetables.

Q: How can I calculate my body fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body, and you have body fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain -- Good.

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: You're not listening. Food is fried these days in vegetable oil. The fact is they're permeated with it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: What's the secret to healthy eating?
A: Thicker gravy.

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had.

World Lupus Day 2008

As some of you may know, I am working on a mini charity project for World Lupus Day. A photography competition is held and the task is to capture Anything Butterfly. Those who wish to participate can check out this site for more information. [Sorry for the late notice].

A group of us have come up with an idea to make a Butterfly formation in the atrium. Those who wish to participate may do so but let either me/Navin know in advance so that we can colour code you guys. At the moment, we do not know how many people are needed for this formation. Do note that IF there are too many people, then not everyone will be part of the formation. We will, however, try to fit in as many as possible.

The aim of this project is to raise awareness among the people about Lupus. Do you know what it is and what it does? How about the significance of the Butterfly?

Something from my Pictures folder

I was very very very bored (despite having exams which is really really near)!! So I went though my Pictures folder and found..




First day of Uni life.... ME1/08 AND DT1/08 registration day..

It was also the most formal day for us... I wonder why...

This was what I saw hanging at the notice board near the escalator on my first day...


I will always remember the Pampers group... ONEDERS... Diaper on the head!!! Thank goodness I only had to wear my nametag on my arm. Phew~



Dry ice breakers...Blindfold game... lame game actually... but I enjoyed looking at the blindfolded people...


The Devil!!!



Punishment! Play dead!



And soon came the First Aid 'test'. (which I knew was fake and tried to tell everyone that it was fake and don't study to much cos it's fake...but they never listened...)


Scary Canadian 'Dean' - Leslie.


Everyone very prepared for the 'exam'. Except me, of course...


I even took picture in there... My paper...


Remember the cheaters?? ALL SENIORS LA...

Then came the wet ice breakers...


Then treasure hunt...



Then the scoreboard (I still don't know what position my group is at till now..)


Then, telematch..


Then, variety night~~
I will follow you...



Then finale night...


Then came, 'BUY A SLAVE!!'


And the Go Green Campaign... This is Elvyna if you don't already know (sorry Elvyna..hehehee...). This was the 'thing' she wore that got the first prize...RM250... I'm still waiting for your treat!!! But I think the 'clothe' she wore was more in the Avant Garde category, which caught the judges attention? Or is the model the pretty one?? Hehehehe...

Then came the Charity home visit... KorWoi's Rasa Sayang dance...
Guardians and their responsibilty...
Superheroes or villians??
I wish I had pizza... We only got nasi lemak...
Taking a picture of a person (Victor) taking a picture of a person (Jenan) mopping...
Colouring contest...



Then, came blood donation drive...

Dental students got the highest percentage!!! Yea!! ME1/08 not bad also lar.... Try again next time...

Then there was Dance Competition! I'm supporting my batchmates, medic or dental, it doesn't matter!! Slideout!!

Haha..
Happy people...

This is how bored I am... haha...

Time goes by so FAST. And it's already 2 months of IMU life... Cherish EVERY moment...




[yee phang, a.k.a paige]

*my preferred name would be YeePhang but if you can't remember or pronounce it, paige also can lar...

Nice, Fun & Odd

Hey medt108,



I'm Cecilia :) I know most of your or majority of you will be like, "what?? who???" well I'm one of those pseudo-nerds or maybe a nerd wannabe that sits all the way in front during lectures. I'm doing dentistry *smiles widely to show teeth* and I'm so glad I'm doing it, cus it's really fun and stuff hahaha but it's really stressful cus we have heaps of stuff to study. Who doesn't right?



Aren't you all really tired and bored and like stressed out?? I totally reckon that we should have some excitement in our lives.



Anyways.. how's everyone finding IMU? Nice? Fun? Odd? I think it's a combination of all 3. It's nice cus it's filled with nice and very sexy people. It's Fun cus there's so many things going on like IMU idol and e.t.c. Finally, it's odd cus there are no tutorials. Every thing's independent learning. We might as well pay them our school fees, stay at home and study and come 6 months later for our semester exams hahaha oh and come every Tuesdays to attend PBLs. It's really odd that they have no tutes here. I used to have tutes and lectures in college and lab sessions every week, even with those lab sessions every week, I'm still a sucker when it comes to finding RBCs on the microscope. The first wet lab I had, I had to get the lecturer to find it for me. The 2nd one, I got one of my friends, FAMOUS AMOS to find it for me. It's amazing isn't it, how Amos can be famous.. it's soo cliche.. cus even the cookie store is called Famous Amos.



But yea.. oh and it's odd cus they're dismantling the escalators. Isn't that like expensive??? Like why do they want to safe electricity for? Save the planet??? But we'll have to use our energy and then by the time we walked up to LT1 we'll become hungry than after the first lecture we run down to the cafeteria to grab a bite and run back up, the the time we run back up, we'll feel hungry again, then we'll come down again to have an early lunch. Then the cafeteria will run out of food and they'll have to order it from their supplier, who'll have to kill chicken lar.. fish lar until they run out.. you see everyone's been running down to the cafeteria so much, till lately there's been no chicken rice for like almost 2-3 weeks!! SEEE they've run out of chickens to kill!!



This must be why there's been no more chicken rice lately!!!



Ok till next time..



toodles!!!



Love,

Cecilia Y.



p/s: Have fun in lectures tomorrow!!

Hello All =D

It certainly has been a while since I've come back to blogger. I used to blog oodles on this platform once upon a time and now, it feels like homecoming! =D

Alright, drama aside, I shall truly immerse myself in the opportunist that is me and proceed with my first post here that will take the form of an. . .

AD! =D



Yes folks, I have a printer to sell! It's a Lexmark colour printer, and it's going for RM80. The price is negotiable and it's brand new, still sealed, as you can see from the picture. Mind you, my 6MP camera was outta juice so bear with the low resolutions a 2MP camera phone can provide ye folks. It doesn't come with ink, but Lexmark ink catridges aren't hard to find.


Now, I know you people need printers to print out lecture notes. And well, if you think it's too pricey, well SHARE then! Get your roomies, homies and put together cash to get this exquisite Apple-wannabe Lexmark printer! Nice, glossy and white, you never have to worry about photocopying notes ever!


So invest wisely and purchase the damn thing already! =D


My contact number's - 0123926052


Alright, opportunist moment over. I part ye all with words of wisdom in Latin - just for the fun of it. . .

"Amicule, deliciae, num is sum qui mentiar tibi?"

Which translates to. . .

"Baby, sweetheart, would I lie to you?"

Toodles! =P
