The talk will be held at LT 3 at 12.30 noon. Dr. Arjun's Natural Products was forwarded to last week and there will not be a review again but I will try to ask Dr. Chye to forward her lecture to this slot so that we could leave earlier instead of 6.15pm.

On Thursday (17th September), we shall have our Haematology II workshop as we all know. So please be prepared as Dr. Vijay Singh will be there. I will also try to reschedule our class with Dr. Arun on Histo & Cyto 1: Fine Needle Aspiration to perhaps one of the free slots on Wednesday morning. We are damn free on Wednesday.

Finally, our Microbiology AIR and practical report on Management and Experimentation On Animals (MEAn) deadlines are on Friday (18th September).

That's all for now ladies and gentlemen.

Take care and have a nice day.

Semester 3....half way through

I'm wondering whether someone would read this.....

So people, how's semester 3 ?? For me, the whole semester is as ugly as a drag queen...LOL

Well.... half of semester 3 had gone...time flies faster than Boeing 747 , faster than Airbus A380...

So far what do u guys think of Semester 3? Semester 3 is terrible isn't it? everyday we have to rush through reports , go for practicals, look for PBLS , submits AIRS on time, wake early in the morning to go for some "interesting" but really important lectures and the process continues the next day and the day after...It's so packed that seeing one another among the coursemates would make u scream like crazy...

ARGh.....................!!!!!

Looks like the tempo's getting faster and faster and Our reports and minds are full of fungi, bacteria, antibiotics , tests, and last but not least STOOLS...

Things are getting more and more packed...Oh come on, WE NEED SOME SPACE TO BREATHE!!!!

Without realising it, it's already been a year being in IMU....this dreadful place... Well, anyone of u enjoy it? If u do...then fine.... But perhaps some of us are not enjoying it ... I can see that some of our mates do not have enough sleep, emo in a sudden of got crazy all in a sudden, some ended up having darkened eyes evolving from Homo Sapiens to a Panda....some even sick of going for lectures and prefer taking a break and study on their own....Indeed, different people having different ways of studying...

Well, may u guys do the best and let us go through the hardships together!

IS this post boring? well...I don't think anyone would response anywayz...Juz to come and pay a visit...Might write more in the future..

Talk by YABhg Tun Mahathir Mohammad

Dear all,

There will be a dialogue session with YABhg Tun Mahathir Mohammad on 7 July 2009, 9:30 a.m. The theme is "Leadership in Medicine & contribution to Nation Building".

We need an estimated 130 students from all the courses in IMU Bukit Jalil to attend the session as this is a very beneficial talk. However, if the response is overwhelming, more seat will be opened to more students. Those who are attending the talk will either be exempted from the class (if they have) or the class itself will be canceled.

We also need 5 questions from students to be forwarded during Q & A sessions and please kindly identify 5 students that will voice out the question. Please prepare the question by the 29th of June.

So overall we need at least 15 or more people from each batch.

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah
President SRC BJ 09/10

Busy Bus Stop

A crowded city at a busy bus stop, a beautiful young woman wearing a tight leather skirt was waiting for a bus. As the bus stopped and it was her turn to get on, she became aware that her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height of the first step of the bus.

Slightly embarrassed and with a quick smile to the bus driver, she reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little, thinking that this would give her enough slack to raise her leg.

She tried to again take the step, only to discover that she couldn’t. So, she once again reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little more.

After that, much to her embarrassment she still could not raise her leg. With a little smile to the driver, she again reached behind to unzip a little more.

About this time, a large guy who was standing behind her picked her up easily by the waist and placed her gently on the step of the bus.

She went furious and turned to the man and screeched, “How dare you touch my body! I don’t even know who you are!”

The guy smiled and drawled, “Well, ma’am, normally I would agree with you, but after you unzipped my fly three times, I kind’a figured we were friends.”

The Seed

A successful business man was growing old and
knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business.

Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children,
he decided to do something different. He called all the young
executives in his company together.

He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO.
I have decided to choose one of you. "The young executives were
shocked, but the boss continued. "I am going to give each one
of you a SEED today - one very special SEED. I want you to plant
the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with
what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then
judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be
the next CEO."

One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others,
received a seed. He went home and excitedly, told his wife the
story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted
the seed. Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had
grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began
to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.

Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.

Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing.

By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have
a plant and he felt like a failure.

Six months went by -- still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he
had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but
he had nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however.
He just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - He so wanted the
seed to grow.

A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company
brought their plants to the CEO for inspection.

Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot.
But she asked him to be honest about what happened. Jim felt sick
to his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment
of his life, but he knew his wife was right. He took his empty pot
to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety
of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful --
in all shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and
many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him!

When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young
executives.

Jim just tried to hide in the back. "My, what great plants, trees,
and flowers you have grown," said the CEO.. "Today one of you will
be appointed the next CEO!"

All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with
his empty pot. He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to
the front. Jim was terrified. He thought, "The CEO knows I'm a
failure! Maybe he will have me fired!"

When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened
to his seed - Jim told him the story.

The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim,
and then announced to the young executives, "Behold your next
Chief Executive Officer!

His name is Jim!" Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow
his seed.

"How could he be the new CEO?" the others said.

Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this
room a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it,
and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds;
they were dead - it was not possible for them to grow.

All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and
flowers. When you found that the seed would not grow, you
substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Jim was the
only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with
my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new
Chief Executive Officer!"

* If you plant honesty, you will reap trust

* If you plant goodness, you will reap friends

* If you plant humility, you will reap greatness

* If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment

* If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective

* If you plant hard work, you will reap success

* If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation

* If you plant faith, you will reap a harvest

So, be careful what you plant now;
it will determine what you will reap later.

Lawyers.. Our "Best" friend..

One Saturday afternoon a wealthy lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.

He asked one man 'Why are you eating grass?'

'We don't have any money for food,' the poor man replied, we have to eat grass.'

Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you', the lawyer said.

But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree'.

'Bring them along,' the lawyer replied.

Turning to the other poor man he stated, 'You come with us also.'

The second man, in a pitiful voice then said, 'But sir,I also have a wife and SIX children with me!'

'Bring them all, as well,' the lawyer answered and they all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was.

Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, 'Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you.'

The lawyer replied, 'Glad to do it. You'll really love my place; the
grass is almost 1 metre high!'

Lesson : You won't know what lawyers are !! ...you'll know their fees later on !!
