Bpharm Superlatives

As we will have to vote for the 'hall of fame' by 18/7, we (especially the Profiles, Polls and Dedications Team) would like you to channel your ideas here.

Hall of Fame features 'awards' like facebook superlatives, whereby we nominate a few candidates for a certain 'award'.

e.g.
-Most likely to be the next Bill Gate
-Most likely to be a lecturer in imu
-Bpharm Sleeping King
-Joker of the Batch



....u get the idea. So which awards SHOULD be in the convo mag? Let's start discussing!

cheers,
gw


Friendly reminder: Submit pics to Alen by 18/7, thanks!

United Job Distribution

Dear all,

We need to start working on our convo mag like NOW.... Why?

1. Our seniors did NOT have a convo mag. I heard u ask, 'didn't they raise funds for that? the cupid thingy?' My answer is, yes they DID plan for a convo mag, but they didn't have time in sem7 and sem 8 to complete it, so they did away with the convo mag. We do not wish to end up like them, do we?


2. In sem 7, quite a number of our friends won't be in kl as they are doing their researches in their hometowns. It is hard to call for editorial board meetings, let alone discussion with the class. There is NO MORE ROOM for 'see first', 'gather more ideas', etc.


3. The current sem4 medic(going on sem 5) had their editorial board elected like weeks ago, and as of TODAY, they have already voted for the polls. They are also planning for fund-raising activities. That's how EFFICIENT we should be.


Dateline: The blueprint of the convo mag must be done BY THE END of sem 7. Sem 8 is for the finishing touches. All other sems complete their convo mag in one sem, so can we!



Job Distribution:
Everyone:
1.Select photos that you would like to be featured in the convo mag and pass them to your respective group leaders (Committee members please take note). Photoshop them or get someone to photoshop for you if possible. (Alen has a heavy task ahead so we shall lighten his burden. During this holz, u can learn photoshop from online tutorials!!)


By the end of the 3rd week of sem 7, if alen hasn't received photos from you (sem1-6), we take it that you trust alen's judgement greatly *wink* and he & his team shall select the photos on your behalf.


2. Help us find a printing company. We want:
-Hard cover, front and back
-100 coloured pages
-80 copies of convo mag


IMU printing guy quoted me RM100 per copy for the above criteria. Let's try to look for a cheaper alternative. Fyi, even if it is RM80 per copy, we are still Rm3500 short.


Articles and Contributions:
For articles, please come up with the list of events to be featured in the convo mag and get keen writers to start writing this hols, if possible.
This is a list that I thought of so far, if you have any suggestion, please get in touch with steph/chia woon's team.

Fabulous Secretary & her fabulous team:
Plan on interviewing lecturers and getting their msgs. Think of which lecturers u will feature in the interviews, what Qs to ask. Please send me the draft by the end of this holz if possible.


Sponsorships and Advertisements:
Can you please forward the sponsorship letter to imu alumni (Whom u all told me, promised
RM 1k) as well as VK bookstore & Sri Emas cafe?
Sponsorships may just be the key to narrowing the gap btw our target and our current funds!
Do use this holidays fruitfully ;)

Alen has started work on the cover design. The other roles are self-explanatory.

1. Leave a comment at this blog along with your name; OR
2. Email Alen at aleny2k@hotmail.com AND I at milkyway_gianwan@hotmail.com, do remember to leave your name too!!


We seek your cooperation in leaving your name as we need to tally the votes. We are NOT using poll as we can't ensure that ONE person has only voted ONCE. The poll we did some time ago was subjected to multiple voting by the same person.

The rationale behind emailing TWO people instead of one is to increase transparency. In line with that, the results of the voting will be posted up too.


Voting closes on 11.59 p.m. 5/6/08 (Thursday) and the theme will thus be finalised.


The shortlisted 'nominees', based on views that we managed to get from Y-O-U all, are:
