Now that two campaigns have already posted their intros and slogans, I found it note worthy to remind them a few things:
Guys! We, as Swinburne Students, are tired of just listening to aimless slogans, which would be definitely forgotten or could not be fulfilled after you got elected! They are very very general and do not point to a certain problem! Let me justify my thought:
Let’s start with Alex’s:
They have come up with the following general slogans:
1. To be proactive, responsive, communicative, more transparent, and an effective advocate for the students.
(What do you mean by proactive, communicative, transparent and effective? How do you want to be like that? Describe your programs)
2. Encourage a co-operative approach to learning, living, and working together in the school community.
(Again how? Let’s say today is your first day in office! How would you start your program?)
3. Be student medium in which they can channel their views and voice their opinions.
(It is exactly the same slogan for almost every campaign, currently and in the past! Highlight your different method of bringing it to reality, if you have any!?)
4. Solve issues/problems that students have by encouraging students to participate in open meetings & discussion. (Sounds like a good idea. Describe it in detail! I’m sure you are not gonna have a meeting with 2000 students!)
5. Organize more exciting and meaningful events for students. (Like? How?)
6. Forge a closer tie among local and international students.(Hey! you do not have even one international student in your campaign! How can you claim this?)
I can see the same problems in the girls campaign’s slogans.
We do not really want to see another boring (Sorry current SSSC!) club, which is just carrying the name of Swinburne Sarawak Students Council, but is actually Swinburne Sarawak Few Students Council! I do appreciate former clubs’ hard efforts, but there are still lots of problems you guys are expected to address! The long procedure of establishing a club and getting SSSC’s financial help is one of our main issues. As a committee member of International Students club, I have personally witnessed this hectic thing when we were arranging International Students Cultural Night.
Once more, avoid historic slogans and come up with something new! Not general, but specific.
Speaking on my own behalf, I would not vote for a group which does not describe its program specifically .
Thank you

On Behalf of Swintalk Bloggers commitee I’m wishing all our Muslim Friends
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri / Eid Mubarok!
May peace and happiness be with you all!
Just to give everyone a little background, Hari Raya Aidilfitri (also known as Hari Raya Puasa) is one of the two most important days in a year for the Muslims; the other being Hari Raya Aidil Adha which will be held later this year. Both Hari Rayas (which means Day of Celebration) are public holidays in Malaysia. So no classes for you guys :D
This day is also very significant as it officially marks the end of the fasting month (Puasa) which began on Septermber 1 2008.
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir & Batin everyone!

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)

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

Many people have wrote about the Grand Opening for Swinburne Extended Campus already, so I will just share the photos that all I have in this post, just like the Graduation post that I did few days ago.
Actually, I want to put a slide show in here but I don’t know why the slide show can’t view in here. So, if you want to view the slide show, you can go to my blog. Still the same, if you want to grab the photos, just go to my photobucket. But some of the photos is very blur, so please forgive me because this is the first time I use the DSLR camera.
