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.
