As a Exco Science and Enviroment of Student Representative Council, i had been invited to attend and give a talk about Plastic Beg Free to the UMS students, parents, and secondary school students. Althought i have a lot of experience in giving first aid course, but i am not a good speaker in a forum. So, i prepare some video about the plastic beg free issues, because in my opinion is video will more attractive to the people.
plastic bag free?? hmmph... this is a very good program, well in the sense that it is for the concern of the environment... but how many of us can realy stop using plastic bag?? where ever we go buy things there will be plastic bag... i think if we really want to help take care of the environment, plastic should be ban for using...haha well thats what im think about...how about you?

"THe joint expo to showcase r&d
by Alyciia Lim
THE International Exposition of Research and Inventions of Institutions of Higher Learning (PECIPTA), which will be held for the fifth time this year, will draw the attention of local and international industries.
The exposition to be held from Oct 8 -10, is jointly organised by the Higher Education Ministry and Universiti Malaya.
The exposition themed “Driving research innovation towards value creation,” would be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).
It would see a total of over 500 exhibits, from 19 public universities (IPTA) and three private institutions (IPTS) of higher learning.
From left: UM deputy vice chancellor (Research and Development) Prof Datuk Dr Mohd Jainul Maah, Higher Education Ministry planning and excellence department director Prof Dr Mohd Jailani Mohd Nor, Prof Radin Umar, Prof Dr Ghauth and PECIPTA 2009 committee chairperson (university level) Prof Dr Rosmawati Mohamed. At a press conference recently, Higher Education Ministry director-general Prof Datuk Radin Umar Radin Sohadi said that the ministry already had plans to look into the details of these inventions.
One of the ways to do so, he added, was through expositions like PECIPTA.
“The focus of this exposition is to showcase the research and development (R&D) works that have been done, and encourage the commercialisation of the products featured,” he said.
Universiti Malaya vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Ghauth Jasmon agreed, saying, “we hope to attract not only local visitors, but more foreign visitors, as this event is aimed to expose the level of research and output that has been done by Malaysian universities”.
“Based on what we have seen, the research capability of Malaysian universities is comparable to that of international standards,” he added.
Prof Ghauth said, “We saw over 30,000 visitors in the previous PECIPTA event, and this year, we hope to see more visitors.”
There will also be a competition to spice up the event."
Well i guess, this kind of exhibition should be organize more, this allow student to express their creativity and innovations while having a company to commercialize their product. As a student, i really feel that if my product can be sell to the public and earn some profit before even before graduate is quite a big deal, since that mostly IPTA student are in debt with ptptn, so having to earn money at that time would really ease up a lot of things. Thus student may have a lot of idea that they would want to express but no motivation for them to do so, thus this could be the ignitation for them to start working....so chearss for PECIPTA....and happy celebrating merdeka days everyone!!!
Nano switch hints at future chips
Technology editor, BBC News website
"Researchers have built the world's smallest transistor - one atom thick and 10 atoms wide - out of a material that could one day replace silicon.
The transistor, essentially an on/off switch, has been made using graphene, a two-dimensional material first discovered only four years ago.
Graphene is a single layer of graphite, which is found in the humble pencil.
The transistor is the key building block of microchips and the basis for almost all electronics.
Dr Kostya Novoselov and Professor Andre Geim from The School of Physics and Astronomy at The University of Manchester have been leading research into the potential application of graphene in electronics and were the first to separate a sheet of the material from graphite
Super material
Graphene has been hailed as a super material because it has many potential applications. It is a flat molecule, with only the thickness of an atom, and both very stable and robust.
The researchers are also looking at its use in display technology - because it is transparent.
The Manchester-based scientists have shown that graphene can be carved into tiny electronic circuits with individual transistors not much larger than a molecule.
Dr Novoselov told BBC News that graphene had many advantages over silicon because it could conduct electricity faster and further.
 |  Silicon will be replaced by graphene  Dr Kostya Novoselov |
"These transistors will work and work at ambient, room temperature conditions - just what is required for modern electronics," he said.
Dr Novoselov said graphene was a "wonderful conductor", making it a perfect material for chip applications.
"It is already superior to silicon by an order of magnitude and comparable to the best samples of other materials.
"We believe we can increase this mobility of electron flow 10-fold."
Graphene is a hot topic among semiconductor researchers at the moment because it is an excellent conductor of electricity. Unlike silicon graphene transistors perform better the smaller they become.
Leak electricity
The global semiconductor business is currently built on sand; stamping out microchips from large silicon wafers.
Companies like Intel have a roadmap to reduce the size of circuits on the silicon wafer, down to about 10 nanometres - 10,000 times smaller than the width of a single human hair.
Many researchers believe that producing circuits smaller than 10 nanometres in silicon will be too difficult because they start to leak electricity at that size.
That current silicon roadmap is expected to end in 2020, making the race to find alternative materials potentially very lucrative.
Producing graphene sheets big enough to be used as wafers for chip production remained the biggest hurdle, said Dr Novoselov.
"We can control the cut down to 20 nanometres. And then when we have to scale down to one nanometre we use a bit of luck.
"The yield of the working devices is about 50%."
Many researchers around the world are working on creating large wafers of graphene.
In order to produce microchips wafers would need to be at least 10 centimetres across. The biggest wafer produced so far is 100 microns across, just a tenth of a millimetre.
 Short and narrow constrictions in graphene can act as high-quality transistors |
"I do believe we will find the technology to do this. And when we do silicon will be replaced by graphene," said Dr Novoselov.
Professor Bob Westervelt, in an assessment of the material and its future application in the journal Science, wrote: "Graphene is an exciting new material with unusual properties that are promising for nanoelectronics.
"The future should be very interesting."
Dr Novoselov added: "Given the material was first obtained by us four years ago, we are making good progress."
He said the process of using graphene to build circuits was very compatible with silicon technology.
"At the moment we use all the same steps to make a transistor as is done by the silicon industry. So once we have large wafers of graphene it should be straightforward to use the same process."
But it might be another 10 years before the first integrated circuits on graphene chips appear, he said.
Shorter term
In the shorter term graphene could be used in LCD displays to replace materials used to create transparent conductive coatings.
"The computer screen relies on good transparent conductors. But current materials are expensive and hard to produce.
"Graphene is only one atom thin so is absolutely transparent - it's a really wonderful conductor.
"We propose to use it as a transparent conductor, using small interconnecting graphene sheets all together."
The material is also being touted for use in solar panels, transparent window coatings and also for sensing technologies.
Dr Kostya Novoselov and Professor Andre Geim from The School of Physics and Astronomy at The University of Manchester presented their findings in the 17 April issue of Science."
Ebay wanted to shut down its SKype
"eBay says it may have to shut down its Skype personal Internet VoIP service due to a licensing dispute with the original founders. It bought Skype from Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis in 2005 for $2.6 billion, but this did not include a core piece of peer-to-peer communications technology that powers the software. Now, the duo's firm, Joltid, is refusing to extend the license on that software.
eBay is appealing to European courts, and trying to rewrite that portion of the software, but says even if successful they may not be able to make it compatible with software used by existing Skype users. And that is no small matter...Skype has about 480 million user accounts (almost twice as many as Facebook) with 40 million active daily users. Recent estimates put the free Skype service at about 8 percent of all international voice traffic, which would make it the world's largest international voice provider.

So i thought that skype is not that popular among us, but guess what 480 million of user??? and twice more user then facebook?? now i think i should be updating my self, have to try skype more then windows live messenger i guess?? and for ebay, shouldnt they include all of the things that they needed and check before they purchase the skype?? well that cause them around $2.6 billion for just buying a incomplete things...well another lesson for all of us, check the item's good before you purchase. Back to Skype users, seems that Skype have such a huge among of user, shouldn't we take this chance and make something out of it?? with 480 million of user, if one of us create something that can attach to this skype, and well lets just imagine the amount of cash it will generate $$....
steamBoat at 32
on monday night there was a steamboat party held in our house, there are about 20 of us that have been emptying their stomach for the whole day for the night. At about 4pm plus cy, michu, and michael arrive at our house, and that marks the beginning of the preparations for the steamboat.
that was just some of the ingredient for our steamboat, we even have fish down below
and This is our Li im preparing the Jelly for desert!!!! yummmy!!!
When the preparations is all done, then is time to dish in!!! but we were stuck by electricity black out!!!! oh my god!!! just the moment before we can even touch our food, the black out begin....we were force to eat in the dark and still yet we have a lot of fun....there is no further picture due to black out....:P

Hibernating day...
Sunday,
it has been raining for the whole day, sitting right next to the window, listening to the rain, reminds me a lot of things, and i get carry away from the coding in front of me...,if there aren't any assignment, it was a great holiday, can consider it as a hibernating day, cold and gloomy, are great hibernating day....
The MCC worksohop
On monday 10 of Aug, we were asked to attend the mobile content challenge workshop in Novotel 1Boeneo. We arrived at around 9.45am and were told that the events is in the grand Ball room level 5. The event started with a warm welcoming speech, and then things start to go "hot" when some of the speaker giving inspiration for us... inspiration like the market that we can explore in the mobile content industry, but the most important inspiration that caught my attention was the $$$$... haha well who wouldn't rite? during the afternoon we were serve with a nice buffet and it was delicious that i could go for rounds... well the events end at around 5pm. When i arrive to my car i found out that my car is cover with stones and ashes from above the ceiling, sigh~~~ my poor car...
