Now, everyone in the papers heard that all China’s milk is contaminated right?
Well, apparently all milk products exported from there are also going to be recalled
This source is from my aunt in Singapore and Malaysia might also be affected as they also import China goods so people avoid stuffing your, especially kids and the elderly’s mouths with these things
1. M&Ms
2. Snickers
3. Mentos Yogurt Bottle
4. dove choc (watever that is)
5. oreo wafer sticks
6. monmilk
7. dutchlady sterilized milk
8. wall’s all natural mango
9. walls mini poppers ice cream
10. moo moo sandwich ice cream
11. mini cornetto
12. youcan ice cream
also on the side note, even if they are not listed, rabbit sweets and please read the ingredients b4 u buy anything. If there is milk or lactose and the sign made in china, its precautionary and much safer if u avoid it.

Here’s something that i have stumbled upon recently in our Cafeteria, which i believe this will definitely make everyone of you proud of being a Swinburnian.
Trust me, you will be amazed of the drink that our very own Swinburne’s cafeteria produced whereby you can find this drink in any other Kopitiams but only purely in Swinburne. =P
Yes, Swinburne’s version of Teh-C-Peng.
Speechless?
Off and on, i just don’t know how to react to such thing when my friends order this Teh-C-Peng, whether to laugh or to hide my face.
LOL… and *sigh* Tell me. >.<

It’s very good to see Swintalk is finding its fame among Swinburne Sarawak students. In answer to almost every student asking me for the grand dinner party pictures, It was just enough to tell them that they can go to Swintalk and download them! 90% of them already knew it and it’s a good news!
Now it’s our turn to attract more and more bloggers to join us in this lovely environment by having more and more posts as well as dedicated activities!
Let me share my suggestion: I think it would be great if we can have an outdoor gathering in some place for a couple of hours and take some group photos. It does not necessarily mean going to Damai or somewhere special! We can just go to waterfront or state library lake by our own transport, just to have an informal gathering. my suggested date is 27th or 28th of September as all of us have (or have not!) done our postponed works during the break and have no excuse for not coming!
So, what do u think?

Attention to all Swinburne Students, please take note of this.
This incident may be totally surprised and new to many of you. Last Friday, my friend’s school bag was stolen by someone. And this someone, you will see his face in a while. My friend remembered clearly that he placed his bag on floor, at the side the pigeonhole and went into the library to have a chit chat with friends.
Moment later, when he went out to take his bag, he found his bag was no longer there anymore. Magic? David Copperfield came to Swinburne? *hmm..** Of course, when you know that your bag is lost, your initial move is definitely report directly to security guard to check through the CCTV. And yes, he did.
**waited for the rewind**
And these are the snapshots from the CCTV.
Sneak thief in red
Mr. Thief was on his phone while walking towards the pigeonhole.
On his phone again? o.O
This is how he looked like. PLEASE REMEMBER his face. A guy with a M shaped hair, and silver watch on his left hand.
And there you go. The move of the day caught in the CCTV.
People, BE EXTRA WATCHFUL with your bags now.
*sigh* Even there’s a CCTV placed in the library, it’s still NOT safe. Perhaps Swinburne Management should introduce a system whereby only Swinburne students with Swinburne ID can enter into the library.
What say you?

Hey, As many of you may know, we (Swinburne Grand Opening student helpers) were invited to an appreciation dinner tonight by our lovely Vice Chancellor.
This is Amir! All of you guys in the dinner party should have noticed me while snatching pictures of you and your friends, just in front of the stage. I promised you to upload them on the net so you can download and enjoy. I MADE IT!
Please make note that I had to resize them into a smaller size to make the file smaller. The ZIP file which you are going to download contains over a hundred pictures I captured tonight and are resized into (1280*960) pixels resolution. If you need to have some particular pictures in their original size (3456*2592) pixels, drop me an email (amir@mrbombatic.net) stating the file name and I would be happy to send it to you.
In order to capture natural colors, I had to turn off the flash and use a higher sensitivity, that’s why you may find the pictures a bit noisy! SORRY, but I don’t like to use flash 
Here you go:
File Size (20.3 MB)
Link1 : Download From Rapidshare
Link2: Direct Download
Alternatively, if you guys do not have a fast Internet connection, I have added a photo gallery in my blog, so you can have a visit and see them before downloading. Feel free to do whatever you want to the pictures and distribute them and don’t forget to let your friends know about this.
Thanks
