But as it happens I find myself sitting in the office, listening to vagabond by Wolfmother and wishing I had a pending trip to Thailand or even to Genting for a short getaway after the exams. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Unfortunately the economy has a hit a new low thanks to the Dubai royal family royally screwing what could have been a nice turn for all. Now I’m not sure if I should be getting that new watch for my sister and perhaps downsize gifts to a teddy and some chocolates. Not even my team of 12 years (Liverpool) can help to lighten the mood as they have been playing like amateurs this season.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;But not to go off track, although there seems to be more bad then good, there is also a sense of joy for those who look optimistic for a new year and the chance of a good night out in town with friends, family and for some, their significant others on Christmas day or new years eve. For me, tradition is that I get my yearly turkey dinner, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, cranberry sauce and a viewing of Home Alone 1 with whichever sad person would be part of it and a glass of wine….followed by a night out in town with heavy drinking and memory loss. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;So for all those in MDIS, happy Hanukka, Merry Christmas, Felis Navidad, and for the rest, my apologies for the lack of understanding of foreign languages but I wish all the readers of this brief message a warm (haha) and joyous Christmas.

A number of Sparks in their signature maroon t-shirts were stationed within the halls to be the familiar faces, leading the prospective donors to the correct stations, as well as to comfort those who were donating for the first time. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By 10AM on Thursday, 5th March 2009, donors were already trickling in, ready to save lives, and by 12noon, there was a steady flow of people walking in and registering. The response for the event was so warm, that the event had to be extended by more than half an hour before the last blood donor was allowed to get off the bed for refreshments. Even after forms were used up, there were still walk-ins who had to sadly be turned down due to the high traffic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The donors, who were mainly MDIS students were treated to a host of blockbuster movies shown on the large screen at the SAMTAS hall, where the drive was held. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;When walking into the SAMTAS hall, the first station that every potential donor would have to encounter would be: STATION 1: &lt;strong&gt;“FORM-FILLING”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SbaF4-kP3fI/AAAAAAAAAWU/T8yQodz2-JI/s1600-h/station+one+photos.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311580024444280306" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 363px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SbaF4-kP3fI/AAAAAAAAAWU/T8yQodz2-JI/s400/station+one+photos.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Here, donors would have to fill up a short form that would give the Red Cross a record of their donations. This would usually take about 3 to 5 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once done, the donors would move on to the next station:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;STATION 2: &lt;strong&gt;“REGISTRATION”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SbaFjdD00MI/AAAAAAAAAWM/nG1AFBTt0ys/s1600-h/station+two+photo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311579654672666818" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 400px; height: 266px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SbaFjdD00MI/AAAAAAAAAWM/nG1AFBTt0ys/s400/station+two+photo.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div&gt;The donors would queue up to get their names keyed into the computer, where all information given is stored. The process of getting their names keyed in would take approximately 4 to 5 minutes, however queue-time might differ.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;After registration, the donors would have to go for:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STATION 3: “MEDICAL CHECK UP”&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SbaFMZZ_yOI/AAAAAAAAAWE/WEm-qEIvdys/s1600-h/station+three+photo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311579258554927330" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right; width: 339px; height: 222px;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SbaFMZZ_yOI/AAAAAAAAAWE/WEm-qEIvdys/s400/station+three+photo.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It is here that a few donors would have to drop out or for-go donation. Certain guidelines such as staying in the UK between 1989 and 1994, or getting the flu or common cold within the last week, would cease a donor’s option to move on to the next station. This would usually take at least 7 - 10 minutes to determine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;However, the majority who do make it through the medical check-up would now have one more test to go at:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STATION 4: “THE BLOOD TEST”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311578586438745202" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 400px; height: 266px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SbaElRlAvHI/AAAAAAAAAV8/Ka2RCkBcLxU/s400/station+four+photo.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;div&gt;The blood is tested for its iron content. Not enough iron content, and the blood tested would float, if it sinks, you’re ready to save lives! This blood test takes a mere 2 minutes to determine!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Once you’ve passed the past 4 stations, you move on to:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STATION 5: “DONATING YOUR BLOOD”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SbaENkJoWAI/AAAAAAAAAV0/9FShPoLjUBw/s1600-h/station+five+photo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311578179107313666" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 254px; height: 690px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SbaENkJoWAI/AAAAAAAAAV0/9FShPoLjUBw/s400/station+five+photo.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Once the comfortable bed is ready for you, the Red Cross staff would check for your veins and check your blood pressure. They would then insert a needle into your vein (you will only feel a pin prick!) and all you have to do is lay back and watch the movie screened right in front of you. A red stress ball is given to you to squeeze gently so that the blood flow is quicker and smoother. The staff would give you iron tablets that will help you regain the blood you’ve donated, and give you diet tips on getting iron back into your body. The whole process takes about 15 – 30minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;You’ve saved 3 lives with one pint of blood! Now you can reward yourself at the:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STATION 6: “THE REFRESHMENT CORNER”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SbaD3-3tgxI/AAAAAAAAAVs/XiMZb60SCLU/s1600-h/station+six+photo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311577808322790162" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 299px; height: 400px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SbaD3-3tgxI/AAAAAAAAAVs/XiMZb60SCLU/s400/station+six+photo.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; You would receive a certificate for your donation, a pin with your blood group on it, a goody bag (specially brought to you by the Sparks), refreshments, and a red leaf to fill in your thoughts and comments to be added to our Sparks tree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Once you’re done, you can leave with the satisfaction of having saved precious lives with just a little bit of your time, and a little bit of your blood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About a week before, the Sparks had begun to put up posters across the campus to inform MDIS students of the event. Going all out to publicize this debut, the SC even had a booth in the canteen two days prior to the drive. Here, the publicity video made by one of our very own UniReps was prominently aired while flyers, brochures and banners were displayed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Those numerous calls by the Sparks did not go unheard as the drive, aimed at an approximate of 60 to 80 pints of blood, received a whopping 166 visitors and collected a generous 100 pints of blood – enough to save 300 people! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SbaDFPx61oI/AAAAAAAAAVc/b399k7BO5PQ/s1600-h/bag+of+blood.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311576936688572034" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 267px; height: 400px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SbaDFPx61oI/AAAAAAAAAVc/b399k7BO5PQ/s400/bag+of+blood.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Written by,&lt;br /&gt;Maressa Zahirah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3615253928017588109-6434341137590102640?l=mdissc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/feeds/6434341137590102640/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3615253928017588109&amp;postID=6434341137590102640' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/6434341137590102640'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/6434341137590102640'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/2009/03/liquid-life-success-story.html' title='LIQUID LIFE: A SUCCESS STORY'/><author><name>Sparks</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://mdis.studentcouncil.googlepages.com/logo-v1.0.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SbaGL9H9tmI/AAAAAAAAAWc/E_4Vk9wNEto/s72-c/success+story+photo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615253928017588109.post-6430620131740594749</id><published>2009-03-09T21:42:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-09T21:56:59.188+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Our MDIS Mass Comm mates just made us proud by apprearing on national tv!!</title><content type='html'>Guess what the sparks just found out?!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our friends, students from the MDIS Mass Communication programme have been selected by Channel News Asia (CNA) to broadcast their journalism piece today at 8.30 PM for the programme 'iJournalist' on CNA.

(drum rolls ... ) BLOOD DONATION DRIVE !!!&lt;br /&gt;Peeps, the event is going to be massive and super fun. From what is conceived as a painful and depressing chore, the Student Council is going to erase those ruthless rumours off your mind and imbue a whole new impression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SAMTAS Hall, air-con, movie-screening, goodybags, mascot ... you dont get to experience all this everyday in the hall of ours, least of it .. exams... eww..&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;People,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;its painless&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;its safe (no fear of infection .. ECT)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;its totally not life threatening (your blood regens back to full tank withing just 3 days)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;there is no such thing as I am too thin, hence, too little blood. (where do all these excuses come from?)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;The people that are going to handle you are professionals from RED CROSS, they have done this a gazillion times.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;SHOW US THAT U HAVE GUTS AND GET BACK FUN IN RETURN (guys, this is a really good way to show that you really have a pair. Perfect opportunity to impress chicks, they will swoon for your 'saving-the-world' act and will go "awwwwwwww ....") [Gals show them who've REALLY got more guts, join in the ring for the battle of the ego, hehe.]&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ok, seriously, this is going to be a super fun event. But behind all these, it's the thought that counts. One donation can save up to THREE lives. That is the might of your contribution. So people, forget the excuses and be rewarded with an out of the world experience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The details are in the posters everywher in school, seriously man, if you miss it, either you are blind are just plain dumb. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CHECK OUT YOUR EMAIL FOR THE MDIS EMAIL BLAST FOR MORE INFORMATION such as &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do's and Don'ts&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Basic Requirements&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Parent Consent Form for (17 years old and below)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SEE YOU ALL THERE FELLAS!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3615253928017588109-4077037642536672753?l=mdissc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/feeds/4077037642536672753/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3615253928017588109&amp;postID=4077037642536672753' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/4077037642536672753'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/4077037642536672753'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/2009/02/hi-mdis-as-you-have-noticed-lukewarm.html' title=''/><author><name>Sparks</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://mdis.studentcouncil.googlepages.com/logo-v1.0.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SaTGQMNaPSI/AAAAAAAAAUs/26mqQZvemaM/s72-c/Liquid+Life.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615253928017588109.post-3771686710348636582</id><published>2009-02-18T00:15:00.012+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-15T22:46:28.976+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Month of LOOVEE is here!!</title><content type='html'>Hey &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;SPARKIES&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; !!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Some dose of what the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;REAL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; meaning of Valentines Day is in today’s more than commercialised world… &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SZrnnrp1I1I/AAAAAAAAAT4/mlXsQibelWA/s1600-h/stval1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303806180101268306" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right; width: 255px; height: 400px;" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SZrnnrp1I1I/AAAAAAAAAT4/mlXsQibelWA/s400/stval1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Saint Valentine&lt;br /&gt;Patron of Love, Young People, Happy Marriages&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The origin of St. Valentine and how many St. Valentines there were remains a mystery. One of the more commonly held views is that he was a Roman Priest under Emperor Claudius II, martyred for refusing to give up his Christian faith. Claudius II banned marriages and engagements during his reign, under the belief that the lack of volunteers for his army was due to young men refusing to leave their families and loves. Saint Valentine was one of the many who did not agree and had secretly married couples in defiance of Claudius II. When caught, he was executed on 14th February, about the year AD270.&lt;br /&gt;Thus, 14th February, became the feast of St. Valentine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The meaning of &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Love&lt;/span&gt; according to scriptures&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth.

Not just any chocolate that is, but a whole chocolate buffet?! Yes it actually exists! I was quite surprised to hear about it and it went straight to the top of my "to do" list.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);font-size:130%;" &gt;The Courtyard at the Fullerton Hotel offers a delightful spread of chocolate flavored everything. From cakes to pastries to even a personalized chocolate drink. Everything a chocolate lover such as myself could ask for in a variety of adventurous concoctions with chocolate as its base :)  Chocolate however is not the only thing there is. They also have a delicious splash of variety with the addition of Tiramisu, Mint and Cinnamon flavored treats which one would not be able to refuse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SWY0Fo8d2gI/AAAAAAAAARo/jJqhT8gOmac/s1600-h/S7302101.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 355px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SWY0Fo8d2gI/AAAAAAAAARo/jJqhT8gOmac/s400/S7302101.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288972083888249346" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);font-size:130%;" &gt;     Mint Chocolate Flavored&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; (top left), &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);font-size:130%;" &gt;Strawberry Flavored&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; (top right)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);font-size:130%;" &gt;   Coffee Flavored&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; (center) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;Chocolate Moose&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; (rear)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;                                                    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SWY2_e1sloI/AAAAAAAAARw/WgbxbbeYOtQ/s1600-h/S7302149.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 166px; height: 222px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SWY2_e1sloI/AAAAAAAAARw/WgbxbbeYOtQ/s400/S7302149.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288975276631168642" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The chocolate fondue was the highlight of the buffet. This wonderful fountain of chocolate has the ability to coat anything with chocolate and magically makes you forget anything that might be ailing you.

May the Brand New Year bring all of us Great Joy &amp;amp; Laughter in our School &amp;amp; Personal lives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking about school, how many of us are affected with the new scheduling of classes? Coming from the business courses, our classes are going to start as early as 8.30am and sometimes end as late as 6.30pm. Imagine how early our homies from the Mass Communications batches will have their classes commencing, considering theirs used to begin even earlier than most of us. I wonder how the other fields like Bio Medical or even Tourism will be affected by the new scheduling..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh did I mention, break times are no longer going to be 12noon to 2pm. Yea, my friends its mostly 15mins in between the different 3 to 4 shifts that our beloved school will be adopting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sigh, I guess this means waking up earlier, less time to choose fancy clothes and style our hair..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving on to more serious agenda, we're really sorry for not updating our blog for a long time. :)&lt;br /&gt;But it will be the Student Council's resolution to bring you a bigger &amp;amp; better blog in the coming months with more interesting reads.

I realised that almost every story printed in the paper can actually be obtained from various websites at the click of the button on the internet. So it’s pretty much a waste of money reading the same old stories (especially the soccer news) over and over again as I have gained this habit of logging on every single night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it was by chance that I got a copy of The New Paper on Tuesday when I was travelling back home by bus. Since it was screaming out “READ ME”, I couldn’t resist since I had nothing else to do. As I was browsing through the pages, a few stories caught my eye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The headline reads, “Fare deal for poly students, please” and I was thinking why not private students? This was a topic of discussion in the Student Council meeting that I attended just the day before. We were arguing that it’s pretty unfair that students from government schools enjoy concessions unlike students from private schools. We are all students after all so why can’t there be equal privileges dished out to the same group of people? Why the double standards?? And its pretty clear from the article that the transport providers like Transitlink have the final say in whether certain groups of students get concessions or not. So there you have it Exco members. You can start by approaching the relevant authorities for a start to bring cheer to the thousands of MDIS students.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Md Sathick&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3615253928017588109-2428677417520593818?l=mdissc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/feeds/2428677417520593818/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3615253928017588109&amp;postID=2428677417520593818' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/2428677417520593818'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/2428677417520593818'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/2008/12/part-1-of-new-paper-saga.html' title='Part 1 of the New Paper Saga'/><author><name>Sparks</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://mdis.studentcouncil.googlepages.com/logo-v1.0.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615253928017588109.post-7867737426841668716</id><published>2008-12-10T12:58:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T13:01:43.878+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Wanna be the Student Council's SuperStar?‏</title><content type='html'>Sparks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got some info about &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;ChannelNewsAsia&lt;/span&gt; welcoming rookie reporters to send in their work for &lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I Journalist&lt;/span&gt;, a prog. that gives citizen journalists a chance to speak out on issues close to their heart which may have escaped the eyes of a professional journalist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, these people are now coming to MDIS to search for the future showstealerrs &amp;amp; MDIS will be awarding the participants a &lt;strong&gt;Certificate of Appreciation&lt;/strong&gt; from their end!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess what would happen is that teams have to be formed and then if your team is selected, &lt;strong&gt;you will get to produce a 5 to 7-minute documentary&lt;/strong&gt; that will be aired during primetime on national TV with sassyshow host, Nina E.

One can’t help but take notice of the interesting groups of people who come in there in the name of working out but end up making quite a scene. There are times when a particular group will be in the weights section and a few of the guys will be going about lifting weights and a few of their friends will be lingering around either chatting with their friends or worse still, sitting on equipments which they are not using and depriving the others the opportunity to use it. It’s not like as though the Energy Hub is similar to all the various fitness centres out in the market. The space is small and thus the equipment minimal. So it’s very inconsiderate to be hanging around and occupying the space, especially when you are not paying to use the gym and are only there to keep your friends company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this is not bad enough, then we have inconsiderate, paying patrons who leave the weights lying around everywhere, not able to understand the signs on the walls which instruct users to leave weights in their appropriate positions in the weight stands provided. Some users don’t seem to understand the dangers in leaving weights lying around. And worse still, just yesterday morning, I saw this group of guys fooling around by playing soccer in the weights section with the big gym balls, totally unaware that other users are pretty annoyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if you thought all this ends in the workout section of the gym, wait till you get to the changing room. It is the place where you can see guys comfortably roaming around only in their undies. But all that will be a thing of the past as we have a fellow student who happens to be peeping tom. It was reported that this particular student was caught peeping at guys bathing in the cubicles. And he apparently did that while he was totally naked. Boy, how’s that for an interesting day in Energy Hub?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" &gt;by Mohammad Sathick&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3615253928017588109-7980936828337486787?l=mdissc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/feeds/7980936828337486787/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3615253928017588109&amp;postID=7980936828337486787' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/7980936828337486787'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/7980936828337486787'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/2008/11/gym-sweet-gym.html' title='Gym Sweet Gym'/><author><name>Sparks</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://mdis.studentcouncil.googlepages.com/logo-v1.0.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615253928017588109.post-4962449560228003621</id><published>2008-11-29T11:37:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2008-11-29T11:52:22.391+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Not about school'/><title type='text'>BookFest @ Singapore</title><content type='html'>Bookworms, if you didn't know it already, the third annual BookFest is just over.

The crowd usually includes shoppers, kiasu parents picking up essential assessment books, teenagers following the latest Chinese romance serial, and anyone looking for a bargain on stationery, books and music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/STC8GTIF6sI/AAAAAAAAARY/88MbzkiJVwo/s1600-h/image_side3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 256px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/STC8GTIF6sI/AAAAAAAAARY/88MbzkiJVwo/s400/image_side3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273921980050303682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A series of activities including stage performances, book launches, author appearances and talks would be host throughout the 10 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you missed it, don't fret.

We don’t have a shortage of players for both sports in MDIS as well. But what about a game of Tennisoc? It might sound alien but it’s a pretty simple fusion of both tennis and soccer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A brain child of the MDIS soccer boys, the game is played in a tennis court. Instead of the rackets and tennis ball, the players will use a soccer ball and play with any parts of their body except their hands. This simple game was started off with the purpose of improving the ball control skills of the soccer boys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What started out as experimentation has evolved into a rather competitive fixture during the soccer training sessions every Wednesday. Do join the soccer boys every Wednesday at 5pm and find out how this unique yet equally exciting game is played.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Mohammed Sathick&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3615253928017588109-5288269602055018995?l=mdissc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/feeds/5288269602055018995/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3615253928017588109&amp;postID=5288269602055018995' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/5288269602055018995'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/5288269602055018995'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/2008/11/say-what.html' title='Say What?'/><author><name>Sparks</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://mdis.studentcouncil.googlepages.com/logo-v1.0.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615253928017588109.post-9138255575202911438</id><published>2008-11-19T23:59:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2008-11-20T00:42:18.391+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Gaming Mania</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SSRBcTP4AiI/AAAAAAAAARQ/nt0nDZRrVNs/s1600-h/97551604_d678596ca3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SSRBcTP4AiI/AAAAAAAAARQ/nt0nDZRrVNs/s400/97551604_d678596ca3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270409418389324322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Portable gaming consoles are, by today's standards, the norm to carry around, especially to young adults like you and me, who finds gadgets like the Nintendo DS and Playstation Portable (PSP) one of the must-haves in our bags.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, aside from our pretty, shiny iPhones, iPods and Creative Zens. Or the Blackberry even, although you might be a busy businessperson to carry one around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the reason why we are all so hooked to these gadgets is because they provide a form of escape - you know, from accidentally eavesdropping to conversations during your commute to and from school, work, or practically anywhere. And being preoccupied with such gadgets certainly gives others the vibes not to bother you. Especially when you are traveling alone on a flight and you have a pesky seat partner (tsk tsk). It's like having the "Do Not Disturb" sign!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not really a fan of these gadgets because I am bent on protecting my ears from the harmful decibels when you blast that latest Rihanna hit single through your earphones. However,(I might sound contradicting here, but...) it seems that these very gadgets have been really good companions during the holidays!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uh-huh, although it might border "addicted to" rather "having fun" because all the games that I play requires much concentration.. But that is just me because I am not the usual kind of gamer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever heard of Harvest Moon? Or maybe Trauma Center? Games for the PSP and DS respectively, they can be deemed boring by avid gamers but I really enjoyed these two because  it does not require much thinking! I mean, where and when else can you possibly lead a life as a farmer?! Grow seeds, water and harvest them, raise the cattle - it is seriously cute and for a second, I was actually thinking of becoming one myself (wishful thinking)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Trauma Center, hmm, two thumbs up for this one! You will feel like a real surgeon. Believe me 'cos this game is all about attacking a virus developed by a villain and saving peoples' lives. Destroy the virus, save the world!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what is your favorite game?

I know you must have thought the same thing as I have, Tashkent?? Where on earth is that? Well my friends, I bet you didn't know that Tashkent, is the capital of Uzbekistan. The country has a population of more than 28 million people. Jointly set-up by MDIS and the Uzbekistan Banking Association, it is no wonder that the three courses currently offered are BSc (Hons) in Entrepreneurship and Management, Business and Marketing and Banking and Finance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Tashkent campus boasts state-of-the-art classrooms and lecture theatres, computer laboratories, a hospitality training centre and dig this - an indoor swimming pool.

The common view is that “It’s for the old folks, so let’s not bother so much about it”. To say that of politics is rather incorrect especially when certain stand-up comedians use it to humour their audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maz Jobrani is an Iranian-American comedian who is part of the “Axis of Evil” comedy group. After watching his performances, you would find that Middle Eastern politics are not something that always has to be discussed in serious tones. His hilarious jokes would not only tickle the viewer but to also reflect upon the fact that Asian and Muslim stereotypes are a bit overboard. The thing is, he makes us realise that by not causing us to feel upset, but laugh at the way the West perceives us, especially if you happen to be an Asian or a Muslim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listed below are links to some of his more well-known performances. If this is the first time you are catching it, be warned - there is a highly likelihood you might laugh your head off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_X0frPIfkr7c/SRg6wjy_goI/AAAAAAAAA08/shpoB-BhjKY/s1600-h/bio_jobrani.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 182px; height: 206px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_X0frPIfkr7c/SRg6wjy_goI/AAAAAAAAA08/shpoB-BhjKY/s400/bio_jobrani.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267024370127045250" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z65ZuggghEs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2K2ySINggI&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxQMi7wkkZ0&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3615253928017588109-6825583679217636464?l=mdissc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/feeds/6825583679217636464/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3615253928017588109&amp;postID=6825583679217636464' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/6825583679217636464'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/6825583679217636464'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/2008/11/just-for-laughs-sc-style.html' title='Just For Laughs - SC Style'/><author><name>Rural Paulista</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_X0frPIfkr7c/SRg6wjy_goI/AAAAAAAAA08/shpoB-BhjKY/s72-c/bio_jobrani.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615253928017588109.post-8090714033821086753</id><published>2008-11-14T00:21:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2008-11-16T21:57:03.664+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ship Ahoy!</title><content type='html'>Well, not just yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we all (may or may not) know, students of the Mass Communication Bachelor's program will undergo an on-campus residency period in the Oklahoma, United States. In this entry, I will share with you the dos and don'ts, pain, sweat, and tears that we all go through preparing for this residency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So copy+paste this, bookmark this entry, whatever - this is invaluable advice so listen up:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Flying Without Wings&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since my batch is going in December - which is probably the busiest month of the year - we are coughing out lots and lots and lots of ka-ching! money just for the air tickets. The prices for the air tickets range from S$2000-S$3000, depending on which airline you are flying with. However, you can always find cheaper alternatives - either by buying it online or visiting the STA Travel website (offering attractive student prices)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.statravel.com.sg/"&gt;www.statravel.com.sg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mastercard? No go. Got Visa? Enter!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, lame joke but yeah. I just got mine today (yay!) and believe me, the U.S. Visa is the hardest to get, even when you have a letter from school, due to tightened security after the 9/11. Too many forms to fill and too many things to pay before you can even queue in front of Napier Road (where the embassy is).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The I-20 form has to be filled in correctly, the SEVIS Form has to be paid (around US$200 and this might change overtime), with a cashier's order addressed to AMERICAN EMBASSY, SINGAPORE (you will have to get this one right, no other names since no cash will be accepted), and DS forms to be filled in. You have to prepare 5cm x 5cm ID pictures of your cute lil' self, accompanied with your sponsor's letter and their account statements, and most importantly, your passport and the appointment letter!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the things to be prepared too before you make your way down to the embassy. After several security checks and long queues (take a number, the third button, after you are allowed to go in), your number will be called to submit all your documents + the Cashier's Order to one of the booths there. Then, wait to get your fingerprints scanned on an electronic device, and wait again, for the interview! (Tip - just answer whatever they ask). The queue will take longer for your interview but patience is a virtue as they say. However, despite the wait and all, they are really organized and efficient and you can sigh "home sweet home" once they say "Alright, your visa has been approved" in their American twang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A Great Excuse to Shop for New Clothes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This depends greatly on which month you are going. Since I am going in December, I will have to bring plenty of warm winter clothes to keep me moving... (I like to move it move it...:p)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I heard that you will still need warm, thick clothes even if you are traveling in spring. The weather is said to be unpredictable and you don't want to go around in your hot pants and skimpy T-shirt, do you? Anyhow, I seriously hope that there won't be any thunderstorms or hailstorms during my stay there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then again, who knows?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miscellaneous&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;Got a favorite raggedy teddy bear that you can never sleep without with? Bring it. Personal items that you deem important - chuck them in your suitcase and treat them on a long-haul flight. Why? Simply because you'd never know when you are going to be homesick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And cameras! In this digital age, it is easier to take snapshots of everything instead of just relying on your own internal memory. Right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And last but not least:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YOURSELF!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep yourself fit. You and I know that we are not going there just to have fun. We have three remaining classes to be completed at OCU. Bring your stinky old sneakers/sports shoes too as there will be one module that requires you to run!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So start saving now, people, especially for you shopaholics out there. I'll give you clues: Old Navy, Victoria's Secret, GAP, American Apparel, factory prices. Uh huh..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all for now, folks. I will be sure to update you again about and after the Residency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And my advise: Listen and liase with your darling student coordinator. Get tips from your seniors and remember to read the little yellow booklet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wish me luck!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;by Arbella Salim&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3615253928017588109-8090714033821086753?l=mdissc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/feeds/8090714033821086753/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3615253928017588109&amp;postID=8090714033821086753' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/8090714033821086753'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/8090714033821086753'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/2008/11/ship-ahoy.html' title='Ship Ahoy!'/><author><name>Rural Paulista</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615253928017588109.post-488727714856039133</id><published>2008-11-13T21:50:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2008-11-13T21:52:29.893+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hot Topic (No, not the clothing store)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;by &lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Maressa Zahirah Manaff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Welfare Sub-Committee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;University Representative of OCU&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our school’s dress code saga has caused an apparent stir amongst our students and the members of the public, but has anyone ever stopped to think that it is perhaps the fault of us students, that the institution had to enforce such strict crack down, knowing that the rules were in place long ago, and students have already been breaking it from day one?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s my take on the situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mere fact that our students are given the freedom to choose their own fashion in school does not mean that they are allowed to disrespect the lecturers and Professors who come to school every day in business attire to look professional and at the same time respect the University and the students. Is it really necessary for us to wear thong-slippers and shorts that belong on the beach? (Let’s not forget how Singapore has suddenly become the world’s sloppiest nation, with a large number of its population wearing only t-shirts, shorts and flip-flops most of the time.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only do the educators need to be respected, the school also has the right to uphold a good image, and it wouldn’t look good if a foreign visitor walks into the school to see a myriad of fashion parades, instead of an educational institution. School is where students prepare themselves for the working world – would it be deemed right for a working professional to come to the office wearing such attire, with rainbow-coloured hair? If not, why not break the habit now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, let’s not just look at it in that perspective – what about the distraction it may cause within the classroom?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine that svelte, pretty girl in your class wearing a pair of the tiniest white hot-pants that’s on the market, walking into the classroom. She chooses a seat right in front, and lo and behold, she’s wearing hot red lingerie that is visible through the shorts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course any hot-blooded young man would react to that – and it would become the talk of the day, which sadly, has to take place while the lecture is going on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why not impose a uniform altogether?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is due to the fact that the school would rather treat us students as intellectual young adults who are responsible enough to choose their own dressing. At the same time, it lays down a set of guidelines to follow. But as I’ve said before, the only reason why MDIS would implement the controversial move to, as far as, give warning to expel students is because students have already been breaking the rules far too often for far too long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem here is that we forget that we are now higher education students, be it those taking their Professional Certificates, their Diplomas or even our Undergraduates and post-graduate students and we are naturally expected to understand that rules and regulations are everywhere, and schools, whether public or private, should not be an exception. I’m sure those who drive would remember to drive on the left side of the road, because it is a rule, whether you are driving a taxi or your own private car. Same thing applies here – dress appropriately, whether in a local university or private institution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, the school has also had to apply the “summons” part because most of us forget to follow rules.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As students, we should all learn to be responsible enough to respect the social situation we are in, and dress the part - going clubbing and hanging out by the beach or in Orchard Road are not the same as going to school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It really isn’t all that difficult to just wear the appropriate clothes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We should realize that freedom has been bestowed upon us and we should not overstep boundaries to cause simple guidelines to be turned into hard-cold rules, as like what has happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are simple ways to overcome the culture shock:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;·         For those who come to school wearing shorts for comfort, you could perhaps opt for a comfortable pair of baggy jeans, or if it’s too warm in Singapore, a pair of knee-length Bermuda or shorts would do you great. [You could try finding great deals on such items at http://insanejane88.livejournal.com !]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;·         For those who come to school in their tiny skirts and shorts, and wear low, revealing tank tops for fashion, might I suggest that you flip through your magazines and perhaps opt for longer-hemmed skirts and a nice top that cuts a few inches higher than chest level? [You can try getting some style tips, or even buy them from http://ohliq.livejournal.com/] (On the bright side, you won’t be ogled at by ghastly men in the MRT on your way home, but perhaps the higher-classed gentlemen would steal a glance your way! ;))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;·         For ladies with fashion facial piercings, you could start wearing beautiful make-up that suits your facial features to prepare yourself for the working industry, and as for the guys, you’ll look better without it anyway! (For those with tattoos, hide them under long-sleeves or men’s arm covers! [http://www.coloradocyclist.com/img/product/full/a/assxrywf.jpg] )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;·         For those too used to flip-flops, you could possibly try wearing sandals with back straps that look classier and are still comfortable. [Look for one here: http://www.birkenstock.de/birkenstock/shopintegration/fersenriemen_e.php]&lt;br /&gt;Covered shoes are great on rainy days, too! It keeps your feet warm in those cold classrooms!&lt;br /&gt;[Psst! Did you know that you can make your own sandals out of an old tyre?

Survivors told police that the fire broke out in the bathroom of the bus as it drove down the A2 highway after a person apparently smoked a cigarette there, police spokesman Stefan Wittke said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the door was opened, flames shot out and quickly engulfed the bus, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Twenty people were killed while thirteen others were badly injured with serious burns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Firefighters combed the scorched wreckage of the bus early Wednesday, trying to put out the fire. The bus had pulled off into an emergency lane before it was engulfed in flames and its back window had been blown out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although this happened far, far away -halfway across the world - the impact is so real! This is not the one and only serious accident caused by smoking. It is scary when you imagine the simple act of lighting up could have spelled the end of Germany's high safety measurement, technology and automobile industries. Heaven knows what else it can do to you or your loved ones...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stop now while you can!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you don't love yourself, who will?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;by Arbella Salim&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3615253928017588109-3754053156517193676?l=mdissc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/feeds/3754053156517193676/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3615253928017588109&amp;postID=3754053156517193676' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/3754053156517193676'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/3754053156517193676'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/2008/11/puff-and-others-suffer.html' title='PUFF! and Others Suffer.'/><author><name>Sparks</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://mdis.studentcouncil.googlepages.com/logo-v1.0.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615253928017588109.post-4351203373216717423</id><published>2008-11-05T12:00:00.015+08:00</published><updated>2008-11-06T17:27:38.531+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Not about school'/><title type='text'>SC Memo!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" align="left"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal"&gt;SPARKS The Student Council&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" align="left"&gt;5 November 2008 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To: &lt;b&gt;You&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From: &lt;b&gt;The Team-building Organizers (External Affairs)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subject: &lt;b&gt;Reminder &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;1.

Its not that there are much options in the canteen even though if one happens to be a non-Muslim. But one would expect at least a certain degree of variety from the handful of stalls available from the canteen stalls in our Unicampus.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-SG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-SG"&gt;There is only one stall that I patronize and that happens to be the one tucked away in the corner called &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Starspur&lt;/span&gt;. The curry is tasteless, the processed food is constantly the same, and worst of all, the Halal sign is fake (as in its not exactly a Halal-certified eatery, they just happen to paste a similar sign on their display area). But at least the pricing of the food is consistent but still expensive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-SG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-SG"&gt;No wonder quite a number of our students are heading to the canteen in the mosque and the Malay food stall located under the HDB block beside the Unicampus, where the food is way much cheaper and so much tastier.

So set the date on your calendar and hope to catch you all there.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3615253928017588109-6406518606463133502?l=mdissc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/feeds/6406518606463133502/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3615253928017588109&amp;postID=6406518606463133502' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/6406518606463133502'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/6406518606463133502'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/2008/09/cheshire-united-vs-mdis-fc.html' title='Cheshire United vs. MDIS FC'/><author><name>Sparks</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://mdis.studentcouncil.googlepages.com/logo-v1.0.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SN-9lE96zAI/AAAAAAAAALo/9685E33MTiY/s72-c/final.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615253928017588109.post-239265093992986560</id><published>2008-09-24T21:42:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-09-24T23:48:07.071+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Days of Our Lives...</title><content type='html'>As cliche as it may sound...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still remember what my friend says about international student, how diligent they are, how determined they are to study and score well even though they are far away from their parents...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will have to admit I was surprised and somehow, a little proud I must say...

A game which is not as widely played as soccer or basketball, but a similar level of passion and enthusiasm is on display by the guys in white when occupying a cricket pitch. So its quite a sight when you catch our very own students gracing the turfs of Ceylon Sports Club in Balestier. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Managing a group of 15 to 20 students, Orshan is the current captain of the team and he can be contacted at 82333436 if any of you are interested in trying out this unique sport or wish to display your skills to the current crop of players. Afterall, you have to be neither Indian or English to excel in this game.

I am sure that some of us (Me! Me!) were glued to their TV sets watching the parade live.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am proud to be a Singaporean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I speak fluent Singlish, but I am able to comfortably switch to proper English when the occasion calls for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have best friends of each race and we pepper our conversations with colorful Hokkien sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can sing National Day classics like "Count On Me Singapore" and "We Are Singapore" on demand, and unbashedly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, even though I take on the role of an armchair critic every Aug 9, eyerolling at the blatant display of cheesy patriotic act of waving the flag, I know I love Singapore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And to my peers - Singaporean and international students alike - I hope Singapore will be the land that gives you bounteous opportunities in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for a little funny-time:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;We, the passengers of the MRT, pledge ourselves as one impatient people.

Or any other job for that matter. Bottom line, you are unemployed and solely depending on monthly allowance from the parental unit. (See #2)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Your monthly allowance from the parental unit is hardly enough to cover your food, transport and your occasional leisure-time activities (so maybe in some cases, occasional is an understatement).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If personal budgeting was a subject in school, you think you probably got an F-.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If overspending was a subject in school, you think you probably got an A+++.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I threw in #4 for fun. LOL. But I honestly think I'll get an A+++ and I know I'm not alone in this. So here it is, if you are studying in MDIS and you think you seriously need to cut down on your expenses to save on other (bigger and better) stuff, I have a short list on how to save moolah!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pack it&lt;/span&gt;. Pack yourself some light snack from home so that you don't have to buy from the canteen or the vending machine. I know, I know, on some levels, it may look or feel 'unglam' but think of it this way - you don't have to wait in line for food.  The only reason why we have this perception that it's 'unglam' is because we've had this image of THE UGLY BROWN PAPER BAG. Pack it in style then if you would rather die than be seen with the brown paper bag. I for one, did this while I was still in school, my bag always had some snacks like a sandwich or Hello Panda or some salad my mother made for me (thanks, Mom!).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Flea!&lt;/span&gt; Well maybe not &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;exactly &lt;/span&gt;a flea but more like a bargain. If you have friends who are a few batches ahead of you in your course and have taken the same modules that you will be taking, ask around if they are selling their textbooks or other course materials. I'm sure most of them (like me!!! WHO WANTS MASS COMM DEGREE TEXTBOOKS, LET ME KNOW!) are more than willing to sell them off. Anyhoo, you can do the same thing too and earn yourself some extra moolah. If you don't already know, our bookshop also sells formerly used textbooks, just ask them about it and you may get lucky and find yourself a steal (no pun intended, let's avoid going to jail).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Student Deals&lt;/span&gt;. Always always look for student deals before every purchase. Our MDIS student card has discounts in some retail and F&amp;amp;B outlets. Examples are discounts at the Donut Factory, Chocz, Seoul Garden, Harry's Bar, Spizza, O'Briens and more. For the full list of participating outlets, click &lt;a href="http://www.mdis.edu.sg/membership/treats.php"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. If you have NETS or OUB Cards, save on movie tickets if you catch a movie at the Cathay Cineplexes on weekdays. Join the GV Movie Club (it's free) and save on your popcorn combo purchases.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These small savings may look insignificant but if you add them all up, you can save a whole lot more. It's not about being &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;stingy&lt;/span&gt;, it's all about spending smart. Feel free to add on to this list because I'm sure you guys have your own money saving tips too. Looking forward to hearing from you because I seriously need as much help! Enjoy the rest of your summer!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3615253928017588109-1256058519570884864?l=mdissc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/feeds/1256058519570884864/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3615253928017588109&amp;postID=1256058519570884864' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/1256058519570884864'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/1256058519570884864'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/2008/07/super-student-saver-tip.html' title='Super Student Saver Tip'/><author><name>aprilzara</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WXKI5zW8tts/SQTH4PmWp6I/AAAAAAAAADQ/ZceILdadnck/S220/aprilzara@gmail.com_3538fbf8.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615253928017588109.post-3666621465181769480</id><published>2008-07-26T23:45:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2008-07-26T23:56:24.848+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Campus Spy Gossips</title><content type='html'>Campus Spy went back to school after a (pretty) long hiatus and spotted a:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;foosball table&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;row of old-school toy turn-thingy.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, number two is horribly described but you know what I mean by that.

All the wars, downturns, recession, inflations of America were still fresh in mind... The connection lies in the fact that the U.S. in the 60s were celebrating their best moments... Not forgetting fashion... Jacqueline Kennedy was the style-setter of that era followed by Audrey Hepburn (the most gorgeous woman and the fashion icon.. even till now)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still guessing? We are talking 'bout Fashion in the 60s and 70s!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 60s were the days of hippies which means.. colorful clothes, mix-match, long hair, bandanna (any large scarf for the neck or head) and also beehive hairdos (Amy Winehouse and tai-tai's favorite hairstyles.. haha)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Movie which represents the 60s, together with the fashion will be Hairspray&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fashion keeps on evolving and now, we reach the 70s...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you know that mini skirt and hip jeans started during this era? Yeap.. but the irony is that, although the economy recovers, girls still cut-off their clothings as mini skirts and 'hip hugger' jeans gained its moments... ;p&lt;br /&gt;Vests became popular during this era and guys even wore a three-piece suits to disco club and parties like in the ever popular Saturday Night Fever movie)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women of the 70s were pretty much on par with man in the context that they, too, work to earn a living... In that era, most girls got to pursue higher education while women started to have shorter hair... Fashion followed this movement with platform shoes for woman anddd for man... uh huh.. you read that right...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, you can still see these vintage styles in our uniCampus... Girls nowadays love to be spotted in their vintage leather bags, huge shades, bandanna and probably, a smaller beehive hairdos... while guys, vests are common sights, completed with platform shoes.. (luckily, minus the flabby disco shirts) hahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will have to admit that I admire these peoples because they are bringing back the olden era in a modern flavor... and it looks goood.. don't you think so? because... Vintage Rules!!!:D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, pictures time..

Don't forget to bring your swimming attire, sunscreen lotion, goggles and loads of snacks! because this place is so much FUN! not to mention the 'active' guards who will come and splash you...

I tried to get my hands on a student concession ticket to WoMAD but was denied as my student ID is not "government-issued" and therefore not recognised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was why I was pleasantly surprised that a certain cinema chain accepted my MDIS student ID under the "tertiary student" category when I got tickets to see a horrid horror flick. I maximised the offer a few good times till it ended in April.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, my point is that we are students. Regardless of the schools we come from, I think we should be entitled to all student concessions available. If we are not tertiary students, what are we then?

He asked a bellboy to return the money.&lt;br /&gt;On the way, the bellboy thought since there are three people, it will be easier for them if everyone gets the same amount. So he took $2 for himself. When he reached the door, he knocked and quickly return them the $3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If everyone pays $10 and being refunded $1, that means each of them pays $9.&lt;br /&gt;Adding to that, the $2 that the bellboy took.&lt;br /&gt;So the total cost of one room will be, (3 x $9)+$2=$29&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where did the $1 go?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do let us know if you have successfully solve these two. :P It may not be as easy as it may seem.

And you spend whatever little free time you have in the company of friends and family, relaxing in a coffee joint, and going for a session of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;pak-tor&lt;/span&gt; (Hokkien for 'going on a date'... now who says you don't learn a little something from this blog!) with your honey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, if you didn't had much to do, you would have read the past week's entries, and notice mentions on &lt;a href="http://mdissc.blogspot.com/2008/06/open-for-youths-of-arts-music-fans.html"&gt;youth activism&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://mdissc.blogspot.com/2008/06/change-your-free-time-to-cip-points-be.html"&gt;volunteerism.&lt;/a&gt; In my opinion, volunteering your time and energy to a cause you feel strongly about is a worthwhile pursuit. In an age where everything is material, the simplest things in life is king and I believe that being involved in a cause will enrich your life as much as it will enrich the lives of others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't just stay behind your desk and piles of books. Be a mover and shaker. Make a difference today - both in your life and others'.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3615253928017588109-5732292490743835341?l=mdissc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/feeds/5732292490743835341/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3615253928017588109&amp;postID=5732292490743835341' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/5732292490743835341'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/5732292490743835341'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/2008/06/karma-but-not-in-sharon-stones.html' title='Karma, but not in Sharon Stone&apos;s definition'/><author><name>Rural Paulista</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615253928017588109.post-727145548348628995</id><published>2008-06-13T00:15:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2008-06-13T00:19:12.926+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Calling All Soccer Fans Part 2!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SFFL91yGCmI/AAAAAAAAAJo/80coD3blHqI/s1600-h/mdis_streetsoccer.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211029769625668194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 344px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 357px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="320" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_FIl73YnGbYs/SFFL91yGCmI/AAAAAAAAAJo/80coD3blHqI/s320/mdis_streetsoccer.jpg" width="349" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The MDIS street soccer 5-a-side tournament will be held at MDIS UniCampus,and it is open to members, school and the general public.

It’s even open 24 hours so in case you want to burn the midnight oil cramping for the exams you can actually do it here. Located within walking distance to the UniCampus, it take sonly a maximum of 10 minutes to walk here. Smack in the lush of greenery, air-con the only down is that it might get a little busy with school students,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Second, Queenstown Library. If you’re the kind who needs to study where you-can-hear-the-pin-needle-drop, then Queenstown Library suits you well. Usually vacant before 2pm and after 6pm, ample of seats can be found at the second level. Don’t forget to bring along a jacket as it might get really cold.

This day is celebrated to commemorate General Qu Yuan-a minister and a famous pioneer poet of ancient China who committed suicide by drowning himself into the river.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qu Yuan, who was the minister for the state of Chu advocated a reform in his home state due to  high corruption level. The King was angered upon hearing this and continually refused to listen to Qu Yuan's advice. He even banished Qu Yuan out of Chu. In exile, Qu Yuan wrote poetry expressing his concern for his people and his country. When he heard that his home had been invaded, he decided to drown himself in the Ni Lo River. His people tried to rescue him but it was too late, they splashed furiously and threw steamed rice wrapped with reed leaf into the river as a sacrifice to keep his spirit and to keep the fishes from consuming Qu Yuan's body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till now, it has been customary during the dumpling festival or also known as the dragon boat festival to enjoy rice dumplings as a memorial to the patriotic poet. Personally, I would never know the story behind this 'yummy' celebration if it weren't for this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are varieties of dumplings available not just during this day but throughout the year round. If you happened to walk pass Chinatown or opposite Bugis Market last week, you would have notice the long stretch of stalls selling Nonya dumplings, Five Spices Dumplings to Vegetarian dumplings in various prices, all ready for last Sunday celebration. Have you tried glutinous rice dumpling before? Some may not like it because of its faint smell. For me, I prefer the dumpling in the below picture because it is small in portion and it is best enjoyed with &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;kaya&lt;/span&gt; or just plain sugar (as Singaporean will say it, 'Shiok!'). ;p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2351/2462300309_82a89f5269_m.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 162px; height: 121px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2351/2462300309_82a89f5269_m.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Here are the different types of glutinous rice dumplings with meat and five spices fillings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/54/179598745_65acad0e0d_m.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 188px; height: 188px;" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/54/179598745_65acad0e0d_m.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The other significance of the dumpling festival is none other than the dragon boat competition. Every year, countries like China, Hongkong, Singapore and many other Asian countries with Chinese majority will hold this competition. Bringing this closer to Sparks, the SC tried to propose a dragon boat activity but the idea seemed to have been splashed away due to low response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sparks!

Regular exercise is said to raise the level of mood-enhancing neurotransmitters in the brain, reduce muscle tension, improve sleep and decrease levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Spending time away from your study table will also help free your mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Don't go hungry    &lt;/span&gt;You may be busy with your piles of notes, but do not neglect your growling tummy. Eating well can improve your mental performance but be sure not to cram your lunch plate. Keep your mouth busy by munching on low-sugar, low-fat starches (think dried cereals and nuts, fruits, and ooh, Kit-Kat!) every few hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Be a camel   &lt;/span&gt;And keep yourself dehydrated. Mild dehydration can reduce blood flow to the brain, causing headaches and thus affecting concentration. Vary your nutrient intake by drinking water, tea, coffee, milk, smoothies and juice. Beware of caffeine though - while it improves  short-term memory and speeds up reaction times, over-reliance on so-called “energy drinks” such as Red Bull may have an undesirable effect; the ingredient taurine in the drink can increase blood pressure and lower your heart rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Time for bed, sleepy-head    &lt;/span&gt;Burning the midnight oil too often can increase your body's level of cortisol, a stress hormone. If you're having trouble sleeping, try burning lavender oil, drink warm milk or take a hot bath before turning in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Order, order&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;Cleaning and clearing the clutter from your environment can help you calm down. Be sure to clear your room and study area of clutter and you would be good to go!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in the words of the Japanese, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ganbatte&lt;/span&gt;!*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*Ganbatte means go for it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3615253928017588109-7386749195209567667?l=mdissc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/feeds/7386749195209567667/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3615253928017588109&amp;postID=7386749195209567667' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/7386749195209567667'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3615253928017588109/posts/default/7386749195209567667'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mdissc.blogspot.com/2008/06/crunch-time.html' title='Crunch Time'/><author><name>Rural Paulista</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615253928017588109.post-6230827331446358085</id><published>2008-06-06T00:17:00.015+08:00</published><updated>2008-06-08T21:47:40.850+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Change your free time to CIP points!
