Cool.. if that's all, I'm up for it ! XD

I'm not worried about the difficulty of tasks at hand though, what I was thinking of was actually the load of work coz I wanna take part in the committee of other societies too. As much as I would love to, I can't possibly be at 2 places at once rite? haha

You should ask people from the industry itself, for their personal opinions

Veteran engineers will say: Never do engineering..! Do business is best, especially accounting and finance or something similar. You'll get good pay in no time.

Regarding the application for a post with the SA Entertainment Team,

Yesterday I sent an email to kasaento@examil.nottingham.edu.my


This morning, which is about 27 hours later, i received the following email from the server:




Hmm, seems like it didn't go through..any advice?

Just received an email this afternoon : FAILED PERMANENTLY!

4 days, or more accurately 84 hours, server still down.. lol

Lol who's more reliable then..?
Google Mail or UNMC mail..
Next time u should include: send a CC copy to xxx.. haha

won't go into much details as above members did.
but one significant factor why it appeals to employers is this.

Scenario 1: MNC
A Monash graduate working at a somewhat superior level at a leading MNC commented: You can clearly see that local grads, e.g. those from UM are highly immature compared to their foreign grad peers, e.g. Monash etc. This can be clearly seen in how they react to situations, interpersonal skills, work efficiency etc.

Although the above does not apply to everyone, it does give a general idea on why employers decide to hire from UNMC.


Scenario 2: A large M'sian Berhad Co.

A fresh grad of ACCA, which is the most recognized accounting qualification, applied for a job. There were 2 other local degree holders applying at the same time. The 3 of them got their jobs and worked together in the same department.

What happened? The ACCA holder was dumped with much more workload than the other 2, because it was clear to the manager that the other 2 so called Degree Holders, are not competent enough to complete the tasks at hand.

The ACCA holder even got promoted in a short period of time. This baffled, or angered the other 2 workers, which made them think: What is this, bias? What is she? Acca? That's not even considered a Degree! How can she be promoted and not me?

The above clearly demonstrates how incompetent some local university degree holders can be. And that's not all, their mentality is wrong too.


Scenario 3: Comment from an Interviewer

Was hiring recently and conducted some interviews. There was this local university grad, and when the interviewer asked a question in English, the interviewee responded in Bahasa Malaysia. In the interviewer's mind, he/she must have been thinking:"Oh my god, Failed!"



Not trying to be a judgemental person from the above statements, but it gives me a valid reason to choose UNMC instead of many other local institutions.

Monash dropped from 43 to 47..

In arwu ranking nottingham dropped from 81 to 82..
While monash can be found in the top 200+ zone..? hmm

Yea, it was very fun!

But the scoring system was a little screwed I guess.. But it's ok lah we all had fun anyway!

Which group were you in? I was in group 7

Umm.. first of all, as evanesence117 said, almost none of us knew how the scoring system worked. Thus there is lack of team strategy, direction, motivation etc.

Secondly, I think there might be glitches. As I heard of comments such as:"didn't we lose that round? how come we're still in and the other group's marks have been deducted? lol.."

Personally, my team played 5 games. We won a total of 3 games (which included the 5th game), but we're out after that last game which we won. Wondered why..

But it didn't really matter to most though, coz everyone had fun


-edited some spelling mistakes-

If, in the event of winning, there's less than 3 people on the court?

E.g. 1 person = +1 ?

Hmm yea it really did clear up much confusion.

Maybe you can post up a ranking list too after the games

Added on October 19, 2008, 7:28 pmI wish to get a prepaid line for on-campus use, as my current line is close to unusable in terms of coverage.

Any recommendation guys? I heard Celcom's coverage is very trusty?
Whereas Maxis's signal strength (overall okay) can be quite low at some spots.

As for DiGi, although their postpaid plans are very cheap, it is currently a provider that's not to be used on-campus until they upgrade the coverage.

According to their brochure/website,

it is RM25000 X 3 years = RM75000

Anyone here went for last night's Halloween Bash??

seriously i've been at uni since april this year..
and i only had SA food twice. and Admin bldg food once.
Both sucks (cleanliness, quality and price).. and i've been anti uni food since then.
(nickname for SA food: if you want to get diarrhoea, by all means go.) (nickname for Admin bldg food: pay MORE to get diarrhoea)
Oh yea and the mini mart at SA too, their pricing is INCREDIBLY SKY-HIGH.

Well .. I've heard quite a number of good comments about the food at SA now.. I shall try it someday, after gathering enough courage
