Swinburne Sarawak Football Club proudly present the first futsal tournament organized by the club. For more information please visit our blog at http://swinburnesfc.blogspot.com

Here is the panoramic big group photo of all the scholarship awards receivers including the very familiar and tall Professor Helmut Lueckenhausen happened today. If there is any trouble viewing the picture, please let know.

I’m not a fan of panorama pictures but it was the only solution because I don’t have a wide angle lens. It’s just the circular panoramic perspective that doesn’t fit my taste. However, looking at the details and the pictures were taken at aperture of 5, I’m impressed*Hugs my Tammy lens*. Too bad some of the guys’ face at the most behind row were blocked by some of the guys on the second row. 

I was invited by the sweeeet PR officer Ms Veronica to cover the event. It was tiring as usual when comes to event coverage photography even though it last for about two hours. Didn’t took much photos, most of them are the prize receiving portraits so not much photos to share in the blog here.

Congrastulations to those who received their awards today!

Until next time, cheers~

As usual, our university will always have talks about the course they are offering for our visitors during their Open Day.

One thing that is different during this Open Day compare to previous ones is this:

Redbull!

I remembered last time when I first visited Swinburne during their Open Day back in 2006 when I just finished my SPM, there was free Nescaffe! But redbull is better XD

The students in above picture are student helpers(excerpt Ms. Nadeha ofcourse) who gave campus tour for our visitors.  Heres one of them in action:

Last pic of the day

Still got one more day to cover @@

Valentine's Day Teddy

It’s that time of the year again. Every where around the corner you can see red roses, chocolate, plushies and lovey-dovey couples. For those who are reading this, have you prepared something special for this particular day? Got a plan already? Decided on what to wear?

If you haven’t got anything, you can always pay a visit to those “Valentine’s Day-Only” stalls by the roadside, usually located near bus stops. Heard that they operate til midnight. Example :

A friend of mine told me that this celebration is also an awareness day, which is Single’s Awareness Day. Sadly, I’m also part of the awareness T_T

Those who have Japanese clothing eg Yukata, are encouraged to wear them to the gathering. If otherwise, casual smart is good enough ^^ We’re not very strict don’t worry haha.. There will be games, lucky draws, exciting activities and of course, freebies to be given out to every guests that attends the gathering X3 Japanese food will be served as dinner! We strive to provide better than last year’s gathering, so, seize the chance to buy the tickets NOW. Number of tickets are LIMITED* o.O Let us share our passion for anime on this blissful night~ An unforgetable memory~ ^^ Please sms/call the contact number above or email me at applejunk[at]hotmail[dot]com for more info regarding the tickets etc etc *refer to poster above*

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

Its Prom!!!

In the end.. i still choose to write a post about it before i finished up my assignments. haha! Well… i went to the prom night.. It was my last prom in Swinburne.
