Food Science: Academic Exhibition 2009

Pameran Akademik Food Science 4th Year

This is the timetable that you guys have filled in. Pls inform other friends of yours if they have not fill in. There are more students than the slots available. But Datin hopes that all of us support this event. And since she's taking the attendance, I'm not really sure if she'll check... And if there are still empty slots, I'll randomly pick the rest to fill it. Dont wanna make Datin angry later dunno what will happen to us.

To those who are participating, you will be give RM5 each. Attendance will be taken. There will be a form with the schedule and you need to sign for your attendance and when you have been given the RM5.

Things that you need to bring:

1. Pen/pencil/stationery to sign and write people's BMI etc.

2. Lab coat to look 'professional'

3. Water to drink. I do not think SSMP is providing it for you.

Regarding the attendance for lecture, there should be no lectures for this week because it's convo week (Issa, 2009). And even if there is lecture, you just need to inform the lecturer that you are involved in the pameran akademik ssmp. So should be no problem.

What to do when you are there:

1. Do anthropometric measurement to whoever interested. Something like what we did for the gaya street. Height, weight, waist/hip measurement, and bio-impedance. There will be forms for you to write the details of the measurement and to be given to the ppl you have measured. You are also required to record the info in a green log book for Datin's usage.

2. If you are shift 1, you need to set up the instrument for height measurement, prepare the table etc. Ensure that all the instruments are in the box.

3. If you are shift 2, make sure that when you keep the instruments at the end of the day, everything must be well kept.

A check list of the instruments:

1. Omron - 2 units with batt in it

2. Weighing machine - 1 unit

3. Height measurement - 1 unit (inc. 2 parts of the stand and 4 parts of the ruler)

4. Extra batteries - 2 pack (1 totally new, 1 staple on)

5. Measuring tape - 1 unit

6. Log book (green colour) - 1 unit

In the schedule attached in the email, the names highlighted are the ketua. So if you found that some instruments went missing, go look for the previous shift ketua. SSMP pameran akademik is at booth No 6. Please be punctual. There will be other lab assistants and lecturers having duties at the booth as well. We dont want them to complain about us or report to datin.
Any problem, please call Melissa Tan at 012-204 3722
Thanks a lot and a bunch...

Just to ask the opinion of you all...

If we all seniors have a session of simple dialouge with our juniors who are now 3rd year about Latihan Industri, how is it?
As a lot of them still blur, nervous and scared about LI just like us before. Hope with the simple dialouge session and an hour of your time and sharing will help them in some way.

Proposed date: 30 July 2009 (Thursday)
Proposed time: 12.00pm until around 1.00pm
Proposed place: Bilik Seminar SSMP

Really would like to get feedback or response from you all.
You can give response by giving comment on this post or at the chat box.
Thanks and enjoy your day!

Sharing of information (2)…

Here have a few important information that I would like to share.

(1) Latihan Industri Presentation Briefing

Date: 23 July 2009

Day: Thursday

Time: 12.00pm until around 12.30pm

Place: SSMP Bilik Seminar

Lecturer: Dr Din

(2) Food Tech Fermentation Class Changed

For those that under Dr Chye for thesis, please attend a briefing conducted by Dr Chye.

Date: 21 July 2009 (Tuesday)

Time: 10.00am

Place: SSMP Microb Lab

(4) PTPTN

As a lot of people asking me about when will the PTPTN bank in to their account, I would like to give some explanation with the information I know. As for PTPTN, the money will bank in when our result reach the minimum requirement which is 2.00 or 2.50 (not sure). But our result of LI will get around end of this semester or next semester. However, this issue, I already brought up to Penolong Pendaftar SSMP and Seksyen Perumahan dan Perkhidmatan Pelajar HEP. They will help to sort things out.

As this a new things in our school,SSMP, just be patient. As we already a university student, we should know how to spend money wisely and for the emergency.

Previously our Senior just having the PTPTN contract problem as they changing from 3 years course to 4 years course.

(5) Waiting of bus.

Based on my this few days of taking bus experience during morning, if you are from IP or KF and want to take a bus to Kampung AB/CD/E to take bus SSMP, you can wait at the bus stop in front of Dewan Resital which also the bus stop near CIMB bank. As most of the drivers like to pass by the Canselori road to Kampung.

Please share the information with your friends.

Enjoy your day!
