Swinburne DotA Championship 2010

By RollsRoyce in News, Swinburne on July 18th, 2010

Swinburne DotA Championship 2010

It was possible thanks to the suggestions made in SSSC council’s forum and also many supports from the students themselves. Being one of the winner(2nd) myself with a new recruited veteran team, it proofs our standards in Sarawak with many great players that came far out from the top16 bracket. Thanks for Cyberline Cyber Cafe’s endorsement and for Swinburne to approve the first epic e-sports event ever!

Winners of the 1st ever-made DotA tournament at Swinburne

1st – XD Babies

2nd – SDT

3rd – Wuasu

No PC-Fair in Kuching

By Amir in News on August 6th, 2009

Sounds like PiKom is not gonna hold a PC-Fair in Kuching and generally in Sarawak! It’s quite surprising, I know, but if I were PIKOM’s CEO I would not  make a different decision as I have also been through the outdated, bureaucratic government procedures in Sarawak, which makes simply every foreign investor not interested in here!

I’m not gonna say more as I’ll get into politics and that’s what we are not allowed to do here!

Be safe and enjoy the last minutes of your holiday :D

Scholarship Awards

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~
