Annual Grand Meeting
It's almost the end of the current excos' tenures, and it's time to choose new faces to lead us. These are the people who will decide on what programmes we'll be having. They are the mascots of SCIENCESS. The forms have been distributed. You've filled them and sent them in. Let's all pray we've made the right decision in choosing our future leaders. The AGM will be held on 22 September 2008. Stay tuned for more updates.
Annual Grand Dinner
17 October 2008. Not a good day. I'll be off to Pulau Perhentian for the 3-day Perhentian Island Challenge 2008. Man, this leaves me wishing I could create kage bunshins... I want to eat nice stuff at a hotel and camwhore to the middle of the night. But I also want to run around, sweat profusely, swim all day, and enjoy the beach. What do I do? Anyway, someone will have to cover the event, and I have just the right person in mind... If you haven't registered for the AGD, there's still at least one spot left (mine, that is), so contact Duang (017-9702096). I'm not going =/

Ramadhan 1429 H
.jpg)
"It's that time of the year, Ramadhan is here~!"
It's one week late, but here's to a blessed and happy Ramadhan to everyone at SCIENCESS =)
The Islamic Affairs Bureau (IAB), spearheaded by Yusuf, has teamed up with all the other societies in IIUM Kuantan to bring us Ihya` Ramadhan, a special month-long programme to enliven this holy month. So let's join the festivities (for our own sake). IAB's line-up of events are as follows:
1) Iftar Jama'i

Date: 10 September 2008 (Wednesday)
Time: 6:30 P.M.
Venue: WacKOS
Payment: RM 3
Only 11 guys and 11 girls from each batch can attend, so do fill in the forms quickly. They should've already been circulated in class by today. There's gonna be a talk by Dr. Ibrahim Shogar and a video show shortly before Iftar. And after 'Isha` and Tarawikh, there's gonna be more (pronounced moh-rei), or more food (just to make it simple).
2) Talk: Celebrate Aidilfitri According to Sunnah
Date: 22 September 2008 (Monday)
Time: 9:45 P.M.
Venue: Sisters' CF
Be there or be... Oh, just be there! -_-
New Photocopy Centre and Bookstore

This isn't exactly new development, but I just have to write something, or I'll feel bad...
Since August, the Special Task and Economy (STE) Bureau of SCIENCESS have started operating a photocopy centre at A-G-08, just in front of the Musolla. You can now photostat your notes at just 10 Sen per page without having to go to the Library or the dreaded CC with high photostat machine downtime. Hooray for SCIENCESS! =D They also have a couple of textbooks, but you don't need those now that it's the middle of the semester. Perhaps next semester when your PTPTN and JPA money gets replenished. The house is run by the STE team, but you'll see Don and Latep there most of the time. Feel free to hang out. Or help out. Better yet, sign up to be a part of the STE Bureau right now to work your arse off for them. Remember, it's Ramadhan. Double the fun, double the Hasanat! XD
P.S. It's still in development, but you can expect t-shirts for your course by the end of the semester. Now, I wonder when I'll be getting that elusive SCIENCESS jacket... It was the wrong size the last time...

Our Activities So Far
So far this sem we’ve had:
1) 2nd KOS Bowling Tournament 27 July
2) 7th Gathering of SCIENCESS Students (GASS VII) 28 July
3) IIUM Games Fiesta 29 July-10 August
4) KOS Sports Day 3 August
5) Hajj Course 9 August
6) Chateau of Tradition (in conjunction with I-QUEST 2008) 15-16 August
7) Palestine’s Day 20-22 August
That's six articles not written. I really can’t keep up with the demands of this job. It’s almost impossible to write about events you’re organising--because you’ll see its flaws and write about them, spoiling the article--and joining--because you're too busy doing whatever it is you're doing that you don’t have time to check out other stuff that's happening.
So... I need assistants, guys. Good with words? Got a camera? Want some fame? PM me (ezehelm[at]gmail.com). Maybe you'll get some cash. I'll go ask Lan. *Switch to Lan hunting mode*

GASS VII
Semester 1, Academic Session 2008/2009
Hmm, sounds quite studious, huh? Yet it has a very optimistic note to it ^-^ Another year has started and that means many fresh faces to meet on campus, yay! The old seniors here are really excited to meet the fresh young (juicy) juniors because some of us are already jaded seeing each other for the past god knows how many semesters... Huhu.. Just joking =P
At the beginning of the semester, SCIENCESS has successfully organised the seventh Gathering of Science Students (GASS), its first important semi-annual programme, under the Public Relations and Information (PRI) Bureau. GASS VII, in its seventh year running, is a one-night gathering of all science students, to welcome the new faces (and unite the old ones), giving them the opportunity to find new friends from different departments and batches, our in-house way of socialising =)
Though I arrived to the Main Auditorium quite late, I managed to witness the programme kicking-off with the introduction of the SCIENCESS exco line-up. Zack and his comrades looked very charming and assuring as our society leaders on stage, wearing the official Kulliyyah of Science (KOS) blazer, with blue ribbons and all. But the truth is, in our hearts, the excos are just like the big brothers and sisters of our big SCIENCESS family. The night's emcees, Master J (better known as Jazli Aziz) & Farhana (a.k.a. Nainai) were superb in keeping the evening light. Needless to say, they were hilarious in the way they kept stealing each other's lines.
The pantomime by the second-year students was very amusing. I was captivated to watch three caring students from different backgrounds working hard together to come up with an antidote for an epidemic that is plaguing IIUM students. I say, if the epidemic was laziness, sign me up to be treated. Hehe. Admirably, they suceeded, but when one of the leading actors died in the end, it was simply tear-jerking ='( in essence, the pantomime gave a better overview of the prospects of each departments with the message of unity deftly conveyed. It was definitely the highlight of the evening. Thanks a lot to Zul Yunus and Co. for coming up with the performance on such short notice.
After that, there was a conclusive virtual tour of KOS, where all the facilities that are available at KOS are featured in a video. We were shown many venues for students to conduct their classes or programmes, laboratory sufficient for hands on practical, a cafeteria to fill up our empty stomachs, and not forgetting the Resource Centre and CTS student lounge to spend time in between classes. It was interesting the way they presented the tour based on the true life story of a typical science student on a frenzied day, portrayed by The Don =) So, as a healthy undergraduate, please do not deny the possibility of waking up late, not being prepared for quizzes, having crushes on classmates, playing video games, and falling asleep when we're supposed to study ^-^ Hehe, its a student life, right? ;p C'est la vie.
To top it off, the guys from WacKOS also prepared a fantastic video to publicise the WacKOS project to first-year students. They've also started a green environment and lunchbox campaign. So support the cause and use lunchboxes, not polystyrene packs. Maybe we can start a petition for the cafes to use eco-packs like in Gombak.
At the opening of the second session of the evening, Faqar and Haneen had a good-humoured four-line-Malay-poem-duel (indirect translation of membalas pantun). As cheeky as Faqar gave his four lines, Haneen replied in exact scholarly dose. We were at wits' end laughing. Nevertheless, both of them did a wonderful job in giving us a glimpse of our colourful Malay tradition.
The one thing I still remember clearly from that evening was Dr. Jesni, our new Deputy Dean of Student Affairs, quoting Lilo (from the movie, Lilo & Stitch), "Family means that nobody gets left behind." Though the words were simple, it had a significant note etched into it. Well, I guess for the night, everyone eating together was just what the doctor ordered.
With one heart, under one roof, as one family.
