Hey guys.. I have been given the room I4A71d...

can anyone decipher the "code"
*
The A after number 4 should mean "Ground Floor" if I'm not wrong, coz the code for the classrooms and all goes by this way.

A - Ground Floor
B - First Floor
C - Second Floor

I dont really und the rest. rclxub.gif

You know.. I'm actually thinking of a page instead of a group, where we can have multi admins across the school/faculty posting up stuffs like ads, accommodation review and all that.

Of course this would need a lot of planning beforehand.

It wouldn't be a LYN Nottingham group if we have these people involved. On top of that, there is a facebook group created by SA which is unsurprisingly deserted.

I dont get the line "if we have these people involved".

I mean, a page for the LYN Nottingham Group, an extension of what we have here by itself, not a page for Nottingham Malaysia. The same group of people "managing" the forum here, doing things like the things we did when we ported from v3 to v4.

LYN is quite limited when it comes to full fledged ads, photos and other things like that. We could do that in a FB page since we can post notes and all. We could do things what the SA cant do, like posting up rents and selling stuffs.

Which is why I say this thing needs proper planning before a "full release". But I'm so glad that our first page of v4 is so nicely developed.

[edit] My multiple admins doesnt mean those officials from the white building. It means us people here. Like tjj from Engineering, me from Biosciences (Am I the only one here LOL?), Cottoncandyclouds from Business.

And @entryman what course are you doing actually? You're not on the list? o.O

So if we really want a place to establish what we are doing in first page of v4, I think a page is more appropriate.

Let's not compare to those international one, at least like hostel at Inti Nilai, they are charging the same price for the single room with ensuite bathroom with a/c without having separate meter for the usage of electricity. Not to mention the rooms all are well-furnished.

Anyhow, thank you for the helps. Appreciate!
*
I'm a bit surprised that you would think INTI Nilai's rooms are better than Nottinghams'. I was from there actually and yes they do not charge utilities on a separate bill. But the price quite exp also lur, my room cost about 700+ a month, single with own bathroom.

And there are nasty guards who check your lugs when you bring big boxes or things like that.

Oh that's because my friend was from there as well with a single room, around rm 300. Hmm, I never been there before, was just browsing through their brochure on accommodation, it seemed not bad to me. lol. May be pictures are always nicer la.
Another friend of mine is studying at IMU, so she rent a master bedroom there in a condominium, around rm 400 excluding utility bills. Kinda feel like the rentals around nottingham are all overpriced, since there's a demand there more than supply. I have a uncle who lived at semenyih last year (around 10km from nott) before he moves to Kedah, he actually rent a whole house with only rm300 p/m. *Not trying to compare here, just feeling a bit heartache on the money that spent on something which are not worth the price, no choice*

*
Yea, the price just gets legendarily (sry, watching HIMYM tongue.gif ) ridiculous the closer it gets to Nottingham. You can even get a whole room for less than 1k in some areas.

And yes I had that exactly same impression "Wah so nice drool.gif" when I went thru INTI's brochure last year, but when I get there grumble.gif

Stay on in this thread, don't "never come back" as alex would put it.
Yesh thumbup.gif , we need more people to remain active in this thread. I hope more will come as it gets nearer to September.

When was the last time we push through a page within just a few hours? LOL..

As for the facebook group, if it's what Alexander suggests where we do the SAME thing as we do now, chances are the lowyat thread will eventually become not that important. People surf facebook more than lowyat. Then some day we will be more inactive on this thread.

I don't know how the traffic comes to this thread. For me, it's me lurking in lowyat.net and find this thread some day. Others come from Google? How likely is our facebook page being spotted via Google Search even if it's active?

QUOTE(entryman @ Aug 15 2011, 07:25 PM)
It's more for.. keeping in touch, image posting, drinking sessions, tea sessions, etc lol. Can't see any real benefits with it... No one's gonna take charge of managing the list of accommodation available...........at least not for long!
*
Yes, I'm in a dilemma on determining the "direction" of the page. I really do not wish to come to a scene where, once the FB Page get launched, the LYN thread gets abandoned. v4 that's the end. NOOOO.

Or it might turn out this way, the FB page will be what we are doing like first page of v4, then this thread become a chatting site for us students, random gossips like that-hot-chick-in-[name of school]. LOL.

As for the accommodation part every Friday there will be a renewed list given out in OWA. I dont mind maintaining that part as soon as I register and have access to OWA. And we could offer a tradezone or some sort, OWA only enlist them when the things being selled (like books) are ORIGINAL, no photocopied version allowed.

And I realised this thread exist when I googled University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus if I'm not wrong, it was in 3rd-4th page.

And btw, is a fb page googlable? I know friends in fb can be googled. But not sure about pages, or maybe it can be modified in the page settings?

Yeap, really do not want to blur up the line. UNMC@LYN is where we orginated. Porting to fb is too risky for now. Look at SA UNMC's fb page and you can sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif

O really? We'll see how it goes then coz I'll only be there around 12th, might be going back before returning again during Registration.

And btw I tried Broga Pan Mee and Restoran 52 (why isnt this place suggested as one of the good place to eat eh? hmm.gif )

You gotta try the tomyam noodles, turn left immediately after you pass by Restoran 52, it's a house on the left.

I like to add "qing tang" (plain soup) into the tomyam so it's not that sour/spicy, nice blend  smile.gif

Alright will take note on that, didnt get to taste much of the food around during last visit.

Group createddddddd!!

http://www.facebook.com/groups/195661860498138/

That's the direct link for the group, current it's set as a closed group. So guys just send a request and pm me to let me know it's you, just in case your LYN and and profile pic differs greatly from your FB profile.

[edit] For now I'll approve those who are in this LYN thread. So if you got friendgirlfriendboyfriendexgirlfriendexboyfriend or whoever, it wont work. Duwanna end up with BUNCH of non LYN members.

That's for entryman, isn't it? LOL!

BTW, I think we should keep the facebook groupo a lot more informal, i.e. a space for chit-chatting, organising events (if any) etc. while we try to keep most academic queries on this board? I think it's quite okay if we keep the group closed - take the LYN thread like a registration spot for them to be approved into the group?
*
HAHAHAHA yes.

The fb group will be more like an inner circle. Place for everything that's NOT covered by first page of v4. Heh heh.

Only those actives in LYN will be admitted, definitely not for those who come in here, drop a question, and then....

Trying to see whether there's any salvageable info to add into first page.

I once sent a reply mail to him after he kept on changing instruction about our lab report. The reply mail is purposely "reply to all", all same batch read it, and it's mostly made up of wordings used by him.

What I find him lacking is the respect towards students. He thinks that students shall never disobey him. That's what I see in him.

There's another time when he asked me out to read out tutorial question (in an attempt to put me into shame?). So, what I did is some extreme twisting of mic, and speak so so so so closely to the mic. His face darkened at once and rushed over to bend my mic away. Wahahaha, I happy what!

Bold 1 - This kind of lecturer is the worst one you can ever encounter la, always thinking students can never be geng-er than him, I pity those who became research assistant under his wing.

Bold 2 - I LIKE THIS ONE, epic.

Eh does your lecturer have fantasies of thinking himself as.....
