Leap Year?

Hey there guys n gals,

I know its been awhile since I last updated this blog (or that anyone updated this blog) but the sad reason for this is I had a MAJOR assignment due today, a final year dissertation project. The assignment was so thick, around twice the size of my laptop thickness, and must have been around 150-200 pages long.

Anyway, this video was something that was shown to us for our assignment because we had to evaluate the relevance n reliability (R&R) of information sources. Most of you might think that what is this? Is it really relevant to SIFE?

Well I think it is because false information, or relying everything you read on the web can be dangerous because we don't know who wrote that.

Consider the article I posted up a few days ago on our Face book page, regarding McDonalds and ethics. I personally just shared it because it might/might not be true, but still is a source of information. However, when deciding that you should or should not boycott mcdonalds, or write to the managers, you might want to do more research, and do more evaluation to test the R&R.

Anyway, hope this posts finds you in the best of health.

BTW Happy 29th Feb - Comes once in four years, most of us would've already graduated by then and already start working. This is the best time to make a four year medium term goal, such as to finish your professional qualification and be a certified professional, or to travel Europe, or own your own house and car.

These goals that are not too long term based, and not too short term based. Goals that cannot be achieved in less than an year, but can be achieved in a few years time.

Cheers, 

Happy Goal Keeping

Captain PLANET!?

Hey there guys and girls, I'm sure you're all wondering why the our blog isn't buzzing as usual, well thats because some of us marketing guys have some major assignments to submit for our final year presentation :( The smallest assignment is supposed to be around 100pages long (I think), such that the Division Office is going to have a special collection system for collecting these assignments. Anyhow, Racheal was supposed to update you guys on our first briefing, An Introduction to SIFE, she should be posting the pictures here soon :)

I just heard this awesome video. I'm not sure how popular Captain Planet was in Malaysia, but back in my home country it was reasonably popular, and so was it for the rest of the world. Today I just re-discovered their theme song, and it seems that Captain Planet was created to help children understand about the Earth's pollution problems. Kudos to the creators.

Anyhow, here take a look at the theme song and listen carefully. This T.V show may be one of the reasons the Gen Y around the world is more environmentally conscious :)

Leave any comments in the section below,

Cheers

Of Spoons and Forks

The next time you buy takeout from your nearby mamak it might make more sense to ask them not to give you a plastic spoon & fork. Ask them not to give you a plastic bag if you don't need it. Ask them not to give you something that you may not need/use such as the curries and sauces.

Mother Nature is dying and the only people who can resuscitate it is us, the current generation. Each small part that we play in conserving our environment will have a ripple effect. Its like throwing a pebble into a lake, the ripples that are created travel a greater distance than initially anticipated. Its like the story of David and Goliath, where something small turned into something big.

Think about it.

Cheers

SIFE Taylor's Recruitment Drive

Hello, did you attend the recent Taylor's Club & Society Day (CSD) in MPH? Anyway, this post is regarding our 1st recruitment drive since our formation, which is held last Wednesday. We joined CSD with the aim to recruit more members with the same mindset of changing the world and to nurture these enthusiastic people to be leaders of tomorrow!
