Exam fever is running high. Have you caught it ?

The symptoms of severe infection (nerdius alevelingitis) include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, and paralysis. It is estimated that approximately 1 in 150 persons infected with the virus will develop a more severe form of disease. Symptoms will generally last a few papers, although even some healthy people report having been sick for the whole exam month. Symptoms of severe disease may last several weeks, although neurological effects may be permanent.

Confused ? Go see the Matron or a Medic student near you.

Dr Ikmal has been visiting the college quite often as of late. Word has it that he's not too happy about the pool and internet (or lack thereof).

Well, its ABOUT TIME.

Its been going on for ages. (The net at least.) The last time I brought it up with Puan Rog (The fact that some students complain that the sponsors paid for the pool and internet and they're not getting their money's worth) she fired back with a "Then I will tell the sponsors that these students have not been performing." Pretty mature reply eh?

Speaking of firing, TERAS, the company that was supposed to set up our elearning system has gotten the boot. The college reportedly spent RM 30,000 on the project and its all down the drain.

Hah. ha-ha!

This isn't the first time the college has flushed large amounts of money down the toilet. But no one dares to question these things, especially not the teachers. Any noise coming from them that displeases the Admin, they'll be sent packing come contract renewal time.

A teacher shared his view on the Internet condition today. According to him, the IT Exec is being scrutinized for her work performance. It is said that her leave-taking is ranked amongst the highest in the college. Minimum 30 days a year, he said. I can't confirm this, but personally I wouldn't be surprised. Just hang around her office and you will hear mp3's blaring (maybe its just an IT thing.) and she'll be chatting away on messenger. And lets not forget her hourly morning breaks, from 9 to 10 am in the cafe.

The teacher attributed her work performance to the fact that she isn't married. He said, "Back in India, when a female elephant grows older, she must be paired of with a male elephant, otherwise she'll become crazy and cause trouble." Perhaps there is some truth in the wise sayings of ancient India.

He was joking of course. (or was he?)
