Campus Security
by OWL ORDER
It's no laughing matter when it comes to campus security.
All day round you see guards patrolling the school grounds. Dozens of CCTVs are installed throughout the premises. The perimeter is surrounded by 2-meter high fences. Guardhouses can be found at both entrances to the school.
It certainly feels as if the security could qualify for an airport or country border.
Several months ago, when I first came to UNMC, I went around the school shooting photos and was quite amused when the in-campus hostel reminded me horribly of a prison.
I surely wouldn't want to stay in prison. Especially after what people say, "school is a prison everybody must experience". I have to go to school, but sleeping in prison AFTER school is surely avoidable.
I mean WAS avoidable.
My off-campus house was already armed with a guardhouse. The guardhouse was merely feet from my house and I'm sure the guards could even hear my irritating snores at night.
However, accidents still happen.
In late November 2008, a UNMC student was killed after a misunderstanding, just few minutes away from my place.
That, added with a series of burglaries and break-ins, simply meant tightening security in campus wasn't enough.
So one fine day, I came home from school to find the walls of my house taller by one whole foot. Not with anything, but with BARBED WIRES.
Wow. I can feel my wings dropping off already. All of sudden the trees beyond the fence look greener, the birds livelier, and the skies bluer.
OK maybe not the skies.
The ironic thing is that however tall our fences are, we don't have a gate. Any burglars reading this?
No, please don't get us gates! At least real prisoners get free food and no one'll bother them around if they skip classes or don't hand in assignments.

Frisbee Frenzy!
Girls of the team
Chilling out at the sidelines
In the midst of the game
Practising throws and catches on the sideThe game of ULTIMATE is played with a frisbee disc on a 64m X 24m playing field with endzones of 18m X 24m on both ends.
The objective of the game is to move towards the endzone by passing the disc as the player with possession of the disc is not able to move.
The game is called Ultimate and not frisbee because "Frisbee" is actually a trademarked product name by the producers of such a disc by the name of Wham-O
The official disc that we use in Ultimate is actually the Discraft Ultra-star, and normally we refer to the frisbee we use as DISC
The game is not like any other sport because it emphasizes the spirit of sportsmanship which we call it "Spirit of the Game"
Even at the highest level of competitive play, players are expected to "uphold the Spirit of the Game, and this responsibility should remain paramount". And they do.
There won't be any referees to make calls on the game, as oppositions are expected to settle whatever disputes they have during the game on the field
We are holding pick-up games (games where random people come to play together) on Mondays and Wednesday from 5pm - sundown from now till the end of the semester [Don't be surprise to see us playing during exam period ;)]
Anybody who is interested in the game, do come at the above mentioned time and don't be shy to look for the club's executives to bring into the game

Jin Yu's Surprise 22nd
posted by:cwken
Celebrated Jin Yu the Goldfish's brithday last Thursday night. Pei Yi and Pei Wern's the one who organised it I think. We were all in uni a that time so Pei Yi asked to meet up at what we called "longkang"(it is beside a huge longkang) mamak at 1am to give him a surprise mini party. Sadly, a few of my friends and I arrived late and missed any opening ceremony T.T Sorry, Jin Yu!
Anyway, after we chit-chat a lil bit there, we decided to head to our uni's amphitheatre to "torture" him XD Guess what Pei Yi and Pei Wern had in mind?
WAX HIS LEGS!!! HAHAHAHAThe plan was not to wax his entire leg, but to wax partial of his legs so that he has no choice but to wax both his legs entirely later XD
Selecting a good spot to place the waxing tape
and both of his shin!
The Goldfish in pain lol
Nevertheless everyone had fun hahaSome left moments after that. Some of us actually hung out until 6am =.=" I slept at 6.30am and had to wake up 4 hrs later for my FYP experiment in the Mechanical Lab. Thankfully I had a very good sleep the night before though.
I hope there are more of such activities, without the workload of course. You can't really enjoy such fun when there are so many things to worry about. My life as a student is coming to an end at the pace of a lightning. Less than two months only T.T
Oh, I almost update the picture of the week section. And the featured picture of the week is:

"Heal the world, and make it a better place" - Michael Jackson
Before reading, I'd like you guys to watch this video. It gives a hint about what I'm gonna say in the next few lines.
Yes people. Even though we're living in the modern age now, there are still wars and sufferings happening out there. Imagine the refugees in a war torn country, forced to fled from their hometown, scared about the thought that they could die any second, begging on the streets because food is scarce, little children having to grow up without their parents by their sides.
While in other part of the world, some eat luxuriously, while some died of hunger. While some is enjoying their freedom, some are rounded up in a refugees camp. While some sleeps comfortably on their beds, some sleeps on the rough and rocky dirt because they have nowhere else to go.
So do a good deed people, because one single deed could change the whole world.
We wanted to ask about the drive, but no one was presence at that time. So, when our cameraman was about to take the booth's picture, one of persons in charge came by. Lucky for us. Wouldn't want to see a picture of an empty booth now, do we? That'll lower down the popularity.
Above : Rafeah Serbini
On the right : Waleed
Then we came across Waleed, a Mobility student who represents the Ace Society on the Comic Relief charity drive. Our reporter asked him several questions about the relief.
Us : So Waleed, what's this Comic Relief all about?
Waleed : Basically, it's doing crazy things for charity. We're doing all this crazy stuffs to gather enough money so that we could donate it to the nearby orphanage, which we had a visit there recently.
Us : Crazy, huh? What sort of crazy thing's you guys're gonna pull?
Waleed : For example, I'm gonna shave my head after this.
Us : What?! Really? That's cool man. I hope you'll look like Jason Statham(google him if you don't know who he is) after you've shaved your head.
Waleed : Yeah. All this for charity.
Us : Well good luck to you then. So any last words before you continue your charity?
Waleed : Um yeah. Please promote us to anybody you could. And plus, you stand to win RM30 if
you participate in our paper cup castle competition. Only RM1 per entry.
Us : I see. So Walid, thanks a lot for your time. Hope you'd make a lot in this drive.
Waleed : Thank you. Hey guys, don't forget to donate!
On the next day, 1st April 2009, Waleed REALLY DID shaved his head! Give the man a standing ovation!
After we covered the Comic Relief charity drive, our cameraman suggested that we cover about the booth just right over. So we went there and interviewed the booth persons there about their motives.
Us : Hi there. Can we ask some questions about this Amnesty thingy that you're doing?
AmnestyOfficer(AO) : Of course. Feel free to ask any questions.
Us : First of all, what's Amnesty by the way?
AO : It's basically human rights. So what we are doing here is to promote the awareness of human rights to the students.
Us : I see. So are doing some sort of charity too?
AO : Yes. Alongside of educating the society about amnesty, we are also holding a charity for those who have their human rights abused, for example ; war-torn country children, sexually abused women and others.
Us : That is a very thoughtful thing to do. Ok, so thanks a lot for the information.
AO : No problem.

Yours truly,
