I always thought that garbage is just one of the pollution factors. Environment maintenance isn’t really my field of interest. However, I am pretty awed to know that garbage isn’t entirely useless.
Some of the garbage can be recycled, some cannot. Recycling materials only enables us to reuse. On the biological part, garbage enzyme is more “multi-purpose-ful”. Refer to here.
It can be used as cleaning fluid, soil fertilizer, natural pesticide and herbicide, anti-bacteria agent, as well as foul odor remover.
Somehow, garbage just do not seem to be in a positive relationship with all the four uses above. But hey, it’s true.
It’s easy to make garbage enzyme. All you need is water, organic kitchen waste, the black sugar found in 3-layer teh c peng, and an air-tight container of any preferred size.
The ingredients ratio as follows:
Sugar : Organic Waste : Water
1 : 3 : 10
By the way, you do not have to be so precise and calculative.
Leave the solution sealed tight for 3 months, and the solution is ready for usage. It might be a little disgusting to make use of decomposed organic waste, but the results are good. Start making a bottle at the beginning of a semester and you can spare some money on mosquito repellent during midnight study before final exam.
On a side note, organic waste does not include humans and animals’ biological waste.
So, who wants to start using the liquid as repellent? It’s a odor remover, so it shouldn’t be that smelly.

There will be a “Get Together” for graduates of 2004 – 2008 as follows:
Day and Date: Thursday, 9th October 2008
Time: 12:00 - 2:00pm
Venue: B002 (Block B), SUTS
The purpose of this event is to gather graduates from the past 5 years to meet and catch up on each other and at the same time to see development in the campus.
The event coincides with Swinburne Employment Fair 2008. There will be 18 participating business organizations displaying their business activities at the Fair. It will be a chance for graduating students and graduates to meet professionals and develop productive relationships with business organizations.
Those recent graduates of 2008 who have yet to find employment can submit their resumes or even go for the walk-in interviews. There will be booths displaying the various jobs in business organizations, campus interviews and career talks. For more information, please log onto our website. There will also be a press release in due course.
Please pass the word around and tell your friends to get back to me regarding the “Get Together”.
I reckon a few students of Swinburne knew the MPH in our campus has been opened for usage by the students. It was said that it will be opened on the 22nd September for usage and with a few friends, we headed over for a game of badminton which I ended up with a sore thigh from a workout in the gym, as someone asked me to lift the weight of my own body. :\
Anyway, the place is fully ventilated by the centralized air-con, so its cool inside there, except certain time where its cold.
The MPH has allocated time and session for which sports would be allowed, which one can find it on the left of the wall when you enter the hall from the main front entrance. Its a piece of paper pratically stuck to the wall.
Overall, the place is great, with rubberized floor like Sports Arena.
And like Johnson Woon would say, “Hey, how come got wind one in the hall ar?”. That was when he missed the shuttlecock. Hope to see you all there using it.
PS: They gym is kinda cool too. Bigger. And we now have LCD TVs. 32″ of pure widescreen.
When Mark Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes, three Harvard students started Facebook in 2004, it was originally meant to network Harvard students to keep in touch with each other. By 2005, Facebook grew to include an amazing 800 college networks across the US of A.
Fast forward 2008. Facebook is now home to more than a 100 million active users worldwide.
All this left me wondering why isn’t there a Swinburne Sarawak network Swinburnites can join. There is a network created for our parent campus in Melbourne, but it doesn’t seem to accept our emails.
So yours truly decided to take this matter into his own hands and attempted to create a Facebook network for Swinburne Sarawak. After about a month of email correspondence with the slow-replying Facebook team using my Swinburne webmail, they finally agreed to create a network just for us!
Great! Now how can I be part of it?
Easy.
If you have a Facebook account. Just head to the Settings dropdown and choose ‘Account Settings’. At your ‘My Account’ page, click on the Network tab. If you’re having trouble reaching your Network settings just follow this link: facebook.com/editaccount.php?networks.
At your Network tab, you should have a section on the right that says ‘Join a Network’, looking like this:
Enter ‘Swinburne’ as the Network name and voila! =D
The next steps you’ll have to fill in are pretty much self-explanatory. Even Swinburne Staff and those of you who’ve graduated can join this network!
For the School Email field, you’ll have to enter your email address provided by Swinburne which looks something like ‘<insert your own student id here>@students.swinburne.edu.my’. Facebook would then shoot you a verification email. You’d have to login your Swinburne webmail via this link: studentmail.swinburne.edu.my to verify your address.
Click on the link included in the email and you’re done!
Now spread the news!
P.S: I’m undecided on what should be the name of the network. It’s currently pretty long, ie. ‘Swinburne University of Techonlogy Sarawak’ Our parent campus’s network is just ‘Swinburne’.
What do you guys think? Should it be just ‘Swinburne Sarawak’ or ‘Swinburne (Sarawak Campus)’?
