OMEGA

From my observation, MMU has never establish an organisation to handle:

Eclatant Awards
Alpha Nite (Prom)
Outdoor Fest
Convo Carnival
Converse
Affiliation Program

These are events in MMU, that organizers take up and hold recruitment drives to recruit committees for these events which they delegated to perform for each division and tasks.
After an event is accomplished the committee dissolves. It will go to waste if dedicated committees and human resource just went off this way.

During orientation week in MMU, freshmen filled in a survey form of they particulars with a post note stating : "Are you interested in becoming the committee of Convo Carnival 05/06" - YES/NO?
The issue is obvious, there's no permanent student body to handle such events. If the problem continues, one day a student in MMU will say :" How come there's no prom for alphas this year?"

A suggestion:
Establish Organizational Management Executives Assembly(let's call it OMEGA), a student board to manage and organise events in MMU.
A good way to make this achievable is to gather all the past organisers and form a student board. It's also a way to strife for integration in MMU.

What's happening today in MMU:
CLS organises events for the chinese race.
UPG organises events for the malay race.
ICS organises events for the indian race.
ISS organises events for the internationals.

OMEGA organises integrated events for everyone.

There's no Berlin wall here, but let's pull it down!

Templated Introduction

The naked truth is out: These days i've been cutting and pasting a lot of e-mails and messages.

People has been asking me the same things.
About my details, my age, hometown, the introductory matters. I'm tired of explaining.

I prefer it simple, no questions. We are who we reflect to the world. I am still the same me, i still hold strong to my principles and beliefs-simple and full of depth.
I still have the same reference experiences that sculpted who am i today.

If i had the chance, i'll tape my introduction and have it played when an introduction is indeed.
All i have to do is switch sides from side A to side B and look at my watch while shaking my head of the tediosity.

I'm still the life philosopher, searching and exploring new depths.
I'm still the individualist, for being myself amidst the circumtances.
I'm still the lover, the love of life that is.

1.People ask : " Do you have a girlfriend? "
I ask: " How far has the apple fall from the tree? "

*Note:
-an "Apple" (individual) that hasn't fall too far from the
Tree (origin).
-"hasn't fall too far" means a person that hold strong to his/her believes and stand firm on their principles of life.

2.People ask: " Where are you now? I want to meet you."
I ask: " What's the most significant thing you did in life? "

I don't have to make an impression when i'm telling my life's tale. It is who i am.
I'm no superhero that hunt down villains in dark alleys and bring justice to the community.
I never participanted in orgies and bubble parties.
I don't own a record company and studio.

But i'll tell you this, I have wonderful and the best of friends, people that made me who i am today.
I'm loved even though i don't have a girlfriend.
I strive for possibilities and live life with a purpose.
I have a dream; a simple idea.
"A man's mind stretch to a new idea never goes back to its original dimension."

The Entrepreneur

For the upcoming Student Representative Council (SRC) elections in MMU, the proposal of creating an online public profiling is going to be implimented. This is inline with the objective of informing and abolishing knowledge deficiency among the MMU populace.
After all the SRC is a body that established with a mission to represent all the students in MMU inline with its name itself. A student body, for the students, elected by the students through an official election.

With this, the portal will serve as an avenue to inform students and help publicitize the candidates. From a neutral standpoint, a student of MMU will be up to date with information of the capabilities and leadership potentials of each candidate through the portal.

The online public profiling will inform the students of MMU of the candidates running for the SRC 2005/2006. It will be hosted through an online portal where it will be publically viewed.

The online public profiling will contain the following:
1. A large print of the candidate's picture
2. Name
3. Faculty
4. Motto
5. Achievement/ Contribution to MMU
6 Expectation of the candidate

Here's a sampel:


Ooi Mei Ying
Faculty of Business and Law
Catalyzing Students' Excellence
Eg: SRC Secretary, 2004/2005, etc.
[Slot #-Expectation of candidate]
[Slot #-Expectation of candidate]

The significance of online public profiling:
1. Reduce ignorance in MMU
2. Entrepreneurship
3. Informative

Note: Previously candidates would spend around RM300 for campaigns and publicity. Paper posters and flyers are hung and given around campus.
The online public profiling is like a online advertisment reaching out to its viewers. As an online service and for the accountable resource used, we charge a reasonable fare.
(RM300 vs. RM X) = Fair enough.


Let's impliment some changes in MMU!

The Largest MMU Outdoor Event- in progress

I'm thinking of organising an event in MMU. In collaboration with Youth Development Club(YDC) and a few organizers- we're thinking of making the largest outdoor event in MMU.
The idea itself is shared by many with the aim to abolish the racial integration problem that is present in MMU. I'll like to thank Yeow Sin-Lin and Ruzilan in advance.

We're constructing a vertical rock climbing wall , and build race tracks for radio-controlled cars from a car parking lot, and have break dance battles and we might even have Sound Warfare where participants compete by blasting woofers and amps.
The event doesn't need publicity and every race will be drawn to it, the fun theme with the aim the harness integration, people drawn together with a sole purpose-to have fun.


At the 1st half of trimester 1, we build the wall, then everyone will watch us, and anticipate it. They'll say
A: " Wow..what's going on? "
B: " I think it's a rock climbing wall for us to climb"
A: "Awesome..."

The integration part is suppose to hide behind the catchy-flashy fun name.
It's like jumping out from behind and say " Aaaah hah! You're integrated!"

I haven't thought of the name of the event though, any ideas?

Meet the Blogders

Interesting to say that i've met a fellow blogder. A blogder that wasn't a part of my circle of friends.
It was a day in March when i clicked 'Next Blog>>' at the top right of my blog.

I was simply browsing and i came across an entry that i could relate to. She wrote about 'This is one of those days'. The following days she wrote about 'It's good to know i'm different'.
When you read someone's blog you'll find yourself relating to their writings, if it didn't relate to you , you'll probably won't be reading their entries in the first place.

What caught my attention was posted pictures of MMU, Emerald Park and Melaka. Back then i thought, " Alright, so this blogder is enrolling for the next intake to MMU." "Never met a blogder like that before, let's see what's next."

2 weeks ago, during a yamcha session, i said to W.C. Tan , " I'll meet some blogder soon that i've never met before, i'm certain she'll join SPB as a neXus writer."

To my surprise, she emailed thespb@yahoo.com about her experience of orientation.
W.C. Tan notify me of the email and asked me to read it. Her writing showed a lot of potential despite sentence structuring like "The orientation night was superb, oh and the orientation food was horrible" in the same sentence.

W.C. Tan said something like, "Hmmm..." when I asked his opinion on her article. Which was like a person browsing through a menu in a restaurant, but was unable to come up with a decision on the order, while the waiter is waiting to take his order and he had to make a sound "Hmmm..." to indicate that he is still breathing, something like when you ask someone a question that the other can't answer, and buy time by saying "Hmmm..." to appear more insightful and not project an image that you are fidgety and stalling from another's awe-ful presence. Anyway.

Today, on a fine day in June we've met.

Ass.u.me.

Stop assuming. Assume is making an Ass out of you(U) and me. Ass.u.me.

I'm really busy these days. I'm busy with academic, loan and club matters.
Being a Vice President of a club and the Human Resource and Public Relations of an organization is busy.
I know it's an understatement, well i'm contesting for the 'Understatement of the Year 2005' with the verse: "I'm really busy."
Last year's winner of 'Understatement of the Year 2004' was a convict, when interrogated and asked of details by police, he simply said: " I didn't do it."

Well don't assume that i don't have time for you. I'm off.

Different Perceptions

These days i've been interacting and coming forth with ideas.
Some may have alternate opinions from others.
I accept another person's views on an issue and refute it when it's inappropriate.

When you join your index finger and your thumb together and form a symbol by raising 3 fingers up as show in the picture below.

It means different things.

In the U.S.A it means "I'm OK."
In Japan it means " I want my change in coins or money."
In France it means "Three(3)"
In Europe it means "Zero(0)"
In Mediterranean countries it's a offensive symbol( relating to the rooster).

My point is that not everyone agrees with you and you'll just have to effectively convey your views to others in a professional and persuasive way.

The O.C.


For the past 2 weeks i've been preparing for the Orientation Committee(O.C.) Camp and The Orientation Week. Here you see me as the mobilization OC of Green 4.

Group Green 4 and me during a sharing session.


Green 4's representative Aaron Kong during a game, with me looking on from the crowd.

Our group cheer goes like this:

We are all the Green best
aaha aaha
Mighty mighty Green best aaha
We got the way~~~ We got the way~~~

Everybody say!

We are all the Green best
aaha aaha
Mighty mighty Green best aaha
We got the way~~~ We got the way~~~

Go Green 4!

Green 4!




Orientation Nite and Sports Carnival.

These days have been really awarding for me to see my group steadily progressing enthusiastically during orientation week. I really enjoyed this time as much as my group did. Green 4 is the best!

People can be such idiots sometimes



People actually display their IC photograph as their display picture. LOLS!
It's like coming out of a time capsule and ask :" What year is it? "

Boob Culture

Today i'm going to be culturing a new savoir-faire, the right totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns.
As a denizen of a modern civilisation, the predominating attitudes of slapping one's ass and the behavior of sexual arousal through hinting a partner through act acts of fondling of one's arse should be stop.

No one finds that sexual arousing anymore.

*Introducing The Boob Culture*


It's no more the 70's where everyone owns a pair of jeans and oogle at one's @$$ anymore.
No one checks out your rears no matter what Levis' tight bottom fit you're wearing.
Everyone checks out the boobs now!

The new culture is sweeping through this era. Boob Culture Rules!
Advice: Get a new pink top.

Save the Last Dance

Today i got news from Allison that we have a new dance contract.
We're going to dance BoA-Spark.
The contract came from our previous client. Apparently they were very impressed with our performance last time.
We brought down to house that night. I never seen so many well-amused, cheering lunatics in the crowd. They were like hyperactive kids jumping around like they've never seen something like it before. For one thing they were high school kids. Just extraterrestrials that never saw dancing. Or maybe we were performing a rock concert?

Anyway, when i started this blog a part of me wanted to guide people on dancing and teaching dance steps.I even thought of graphically draw each dance step out. Never did happen. Too technical i guess.

The bad news is that our sensei, Jeannette wants to stop dancing for public performances.
So this will be the last dance.
If the worse happens, i'll move on and establish my own dance team. Since i coached a dance team before, i'll be scouting for talents from the freshmen that enrolls into MMU this coming intake. Maybe even establishing MMU Danz?
Just a catchy name i thought of just a minute ago.

Well, i'm off to save the last dance.
