Museum of Human Disease

Dear all,

Some of you might be interested to know that there is an actual museum we can visit at the heart of the UNSW. Just found out this recently and thought I could share with you all. And to top it all it's FREE for students of UNSW. Normal charge would have been $10 per person. Can't comment much on it as I have not been there but it would be insightful to know how different diseases progesses.

For more infomation you could check out this website otherwise just scroll down

Introduction

Between 3:00pm – 5:00pm each weekday visitors can explore this fascinating collection themselves or listen to a description of displayed specimens and disease processes with a specially designed audio tour.

Visitors are able to use a unique mp3 device with infra-red capabilities that enables them to hear descriptions of specific specimens and exhibits as they tour the Museum. Most recordings feature an expert member of the UNSW academic staff describing the macroscopic changes in the specimen and relating these to the cause, symptoms and treatment of the disorder.

Ground Floor, Samuels Building

Saya ada penggumuman so silalah baca,

Dalam bentuk pantun karangan Salwa,

Teringat tah jua malam BruoNZ di negara tercinta.

Hari berganti bulan semester 2 tiba kini,

BASS family pun sudah bertambah ahli,

Ada baiknya berkumpul sesama kitani,

Dapat jua mengeratkan tali silaturrahmi.

16hb Ogos hari dipilih,

Hari Ahad pukul 2 jangan salah tarikh,

Kepada Ka Suh diucap terima kasih,

Pasal sudi menjadi host tanpa dalih.

Berkumpul saja memang inda cukup,

Kalau nada makanan kan disumbat ke mulut,

Jadinya biskita kami jemput,

Membawa makanan minuman sedikit pun cukup.

Sibuk atu perkara biasa,

Apatah lagi senior final year,

Tapi datang sekajap pun inda apa,

Asalkan kitani dapat berkumpul bersama.

Pantun ani berakhir di sini,

Jangan lupa pasal gathering ani,

Insyallah dengan izin Ilahi,

Berjumpa jua kitani di sana nanti.

And macam biasa.. Please let us know what you're bringing in the comment box :)

Welcome to Sydney 2009

Hey you guys, been long due for an update here at bassbox. Now that my holidays are over, hopefully I'll have time to give you the heads up of what's going on around Sydney. First of the firsts, we have 7 new Bruneians (4 girls XD) joining our bass community. MOE scholars students taking chemical engineering, please welcome:

Amal(password paling panjang sdunia), Aliya (without a H), Hilmi (malay version of Victor), Bee Ting, Nieza, Max and Adid. Please ignore wei2 and mr.kheng, not important.

These 7 students are also still looking for permanent accomodation, so do help them. On another note, I want to welcome back all returning students to Sydney, I do hope you had enjoy your holidays. I also hope you don't have swine flu (gila brunei atu). Stay healthy and keep warm. Happy studying people!

rumour mill:

Owh, I've heard there's a new Bruneian coming to study Petroleum Engineering. Anyone know who it is and whether she's settled in or not?

Phone cards

Assalamualaikum all,

For those of you who use supplementary phone cards to call home, I found this enticing web. Personally I found the Africa Home the best at 300 minutes or so for $8.99 (just insert Brunei in the country space)at a minimal rate of 0.05 cent per minute and there is no rounding of the minute!!.

Have a good day! Bila lagi makan?

Influenza A (H1N1) Info

Hi everyone,

H1N1 Flu cases are on the rise. To date, 29 cases have been reported in Brunei and hopefully no more to come. I know some of us, well almost all of us, would not be staying in during the holidays. So it is part of my obligation to share with you guys some tips/precautions that I've got from the MOH website.

10 steps for keeping yourself and others safe:

1. Wash hands frequently - with soap or alcohol-based gel sanitizer or disposable wipes.
   
2. Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
3. Avoid close contact - especially with those who are sick
4. Stay home when feeling not well
5. Cover mouth and nose with tissue when coughing and sneezing
6. Keep distance from others if you're unwell
7. Practise good health habits - drink plenty of water, sleep well etc.
8. Consult doctor if you have signs of serious illnesses such as difficulty in breathing, confusion and severe vomiting.
9. Defer travel to affected places if possible.
10. Keep updated with the situation.

Symptoms of Influenza (H1N1):

• High Fever (>38 degree celcius)
• Sore throat
• Cough and runny nose
• Joint and muscle aches
• Fatigue
• Breathlessness
• Vomiting and Diarrhea occassionally

If you have any of those symptoms and have been visiting to affected areas, please go to clinics and hospitals for medical check-up and further treatments.

To download those leaflets, click here and here.

Lastly, have a nice holiday and stay safe everyone. :)

I don't know the details of the study but you can direct your queries to the student at her email below.I think normals who never wear contact lens may also take part in the study.

All the best with your coming exams.

Briefly, you will be required to wear contact lenses 8 hours per day/ 5 days per week. This is for a minimum of 14 days or maximum of 21 days (participant's choice).

The Champions..

Just some photos from the last game to complement Waznah's awesome match report. Thanks Waz! =D Once again, congratulations to the boys for winning the tournament. OLE OLE OLE OLE~ Special credits to our top scorer, Fadhli, and to our awesome goalie, Zarif, who only conceded 5 goals in the tournament. And of course to all the players for the hard work. To the supporters, thank you for coming to the matches and thank you for your endless cheers to lift our spirits up. BASS should make a gathering to celebrate the victory. A barbeque at the end of the month maybe? heheh..

Sekian,

Gaya mau tau, main mau tau!

BASS boys bring it home

BASS being at the top of the MSO tourney table did not stop today's final game against Kampung Utd (I wondered if it was 'kampung' with an 'o' or a 'u') being riveting and erratic. Just before kick-off, BASS supporters were feeling confident, surely the boys would carry on an unbeatable streak and BASS players were looking fit and feisty filling themselves with a source of potassium - bananas. Captain Asqa had his new socks too and fighting a fever.

Kick-off was a little after 4pm and it looked promising. Yamin's first attempt to score came at 23 seconds but Kampung Utd's defences came up and Zarif was put to hard work. Zarif could not save the one that flew right above his head and the score was 1-0 to Kampung Utd just after 4 minutes. After that came a series of attempts by BASS fuelled by frustration and haste across the futsal court to try and level the score. This included Fadhli swivelling on the floor in order to gain control of the ball and another of Majdi's attempt from the mid-line which missed the top of the net. BASS supporters got on their feet and started cheering for the boys in hopes of keeping the boys' spirits high. At this point, even the common man-triangle did not seem to get past Kampung Utd's defence.

Half-time whistle blew and as usual, BASS boys restrategized in their huddle.

The second half was not pleasant to watch from the sidelines. The boys were very verbal, had furrowed brows and movements were antsy-pantsy. Majdi and Hafiz attempted another few shots which had all the power but no proper direction. The boys looked tired but at the eighteenth minute, the sun suddenly shined as Majdi passed the ball to Fadhli and he scored from the right side of the net.

Now, Fadhli can be a name that should be associated with the term 'Man of the Match' as he dribbled the ball passed Kampung Utd's goalie who made the mistake of leaving the goalpost, two minutes later. Too easy man! Too easy. BASS won 2-1.

Comment Fadhli? "Thanks to the supporters who shouted so much that it made us win... Shouted so loud that it made us tuli..."

The boys also got their medals presented by MSO's president, Kokulananda Makentharan. The pictures are somewhere (hey, I just write). Congrats boys!

BASS futsal team in action!

The last game was so awesome that a report by Waznah alone is not enough. No, I'm not here to post any pictures.. Cause I made a video instead! Because a video can speak more than a thousand words....


So click play.....

Director/Editor's Note:

I have come to understand that these players have never really seen a video of them playing futsal.. I've spent quite some time creating this so I hope you guys like it.. Pardon me if any terms are not correct, not that there are many to start with anyway.. The video is not stabilised cause that'll take longer time, so excuse me kalau terlampau begagar, hehe.. And the quality is not up to my expectation so if you want to view it in HD, watch the original file from my Mac :) 

 Keep it up team... To all BASS supporters from afar, this is for you too!

Four goals makes BASS's fourth win

Thirty seconds before the whistle blew to start off the game between our BASS team and Singapore's UNSW SSA, I turned to Norhamizatulbillah (a.k.a Miza) and asked her if we could win today and she said, "Hopefully...Mesti! Mesti menang!"

Apparently, Miza can add being psychic to her CV.

Team midfielder, Majdi first power kick led to a corner kick but we lost out on the first try at a goal. Forty seconds in, Fadhli's attempt at another goal hits the outside of the goalpost. We were close again to a first goal of the match when Hafiz tried again just after a minute. UNSW SSA proved to be on top of their game when they scored in the second minute and they lead by 1-0. Singapore's lead proved to be a wake-up call for our BASS players when they managed to keep the ball in the SSA's corner and although the Singaporeans seem to tower (yes, in height) above the BASS players, Majdi and Hafiz missed out on two other opportunities to score. If you've noticed, our goalie, Zarif did not have much to do in the first half.

During half-time, BASS players took the opportunity to huddle and re-strategize and whatever El Kapitan Asqa said definitely turned things around.

At 14 minutes 29, Hafiz's golden foot chipped the ball passed SSA's goalie and the level of excitement of BASS supporters (Nisah, Laila, Miza, Hadee, Salwa, Kak Suhara, Amal and Aimi) was measured by the surge in noise. Then, 30 seconds later, Majdi scored a goal that can only be comparable to David Beckham's 1996 Premier League goal from the halfway line because that's exactly what he did. BASS was on a roll! A minute later, Fadhli managed to bring the score to 3-1.

SSA's frustration was evident when they fought back but Zarif fought back harder and made terrific saves. But when BASS supporters were on their feet and blocking my view, man-of-the-match Yamin scored the fourth goal and as Stevie Wonder would say, THAT signed, sealed and delivered BASS's fourth victory.

When asking Yamin for a comment: "Ngalih eh..."
Captain Asqa: "In the end, we got what we want". Surely, I thought, all these wins were fruits of labour and lots of practice time? "No, not really."

Signing off,
Waznah Ali

Three wins in a row! BASS (5) vs Chun Sin (0)

BASS started the match well and got an early corner. Hafiz spotted Majdi unmarked in the middle of the field and Majdi did a 'Gerrard' when he smashed home a powerful shot past the opponent's goalie for his first goal of the tournament. 1-0 to BASS! Man of the match Hafiz then scored with two well-taken goals to break his scoring duck after failing to score in the first two games. Like what an Oz bloke would say, 'Goodonyamate! (good on you mate!). Chun Sin responded and created some chances but the BASS goalie Zarif made some important saves. Qasman almost gave the opponents a perfect gift when he gave away the ball cheaply in the middle of the field but luckily the opponent's striker shot wide. Yamin and Asqa then completed the rout to give BASS a 5-0 lead going into halftime.

The second half was a messy affair for BASS and the opponent controlled the game for most of the time. It was a nervy moment for BASS and their supporters when the opponent hit the post three times in quick successions. Abu, who was having a quiet game made some good clearances. On the sidelines, the supporters duo, Aimi and Ka Suhara became part time coaches and cheerleaders. BASS had their fair share of good chances but Fadhli and Hafiz were guilty of failing to capitalise on any of the chances. BASS held on and the scoreline remains 5-0 until the final whistle.

Here are some of the pictures from the match.. Sorry for the poor quality..

Supporters and part-time coaches..

All in all, it was a good game for BASS. It was disappointing not to score in the second half but at the end of the day, it's the win that matters. Next up for BASS will be a match against SSA on Friday, 1st May 2009 at 3:30pm. Hopefully, more BASSers will show up in the next match. *ehem ehem*

MSO futsal tourney, Match 1: PAAN vs Brunei

Hello mates,

Here's the first match report which is slightly overdue due to unforeseen circumstances (=p). The first match for Brunei's BASS futsal team was against PAAN, one of the malaysian teams in the tourney. Here's a summarised info on the team and the details of the match:

Squad:

* Zarif (GK)
* Majdi
* Asqa
* Abib
* Yamin
* Fadhli
* Zahrin
* Qasman

Final results:
Brunei BASS 7 - 1 PAAN


1st Half (2-0)

1st & 2nd goal:
First goal was scored by Qasman which he described as being lucky since the ball accidentally deflected off his knee and went passed the keeper into the net. A fierce war cry followed which in turn uplifted everyone's spirit even more.

The second goal for Brunei BASS came from Qasman as well with an accurate top corner shot which again was followed by another fierce celebration. Both of his goals wouldn't have been true without the assist by Asqa's precise and accurate passes.

2nd Half (7-1)

1st goal conceeded:
The goal came after a miscommunication between the goalkeeper and one of the defenders at that time. One of the opponents came rushing in at the loose ball which the goalkeeper tried to clear but failed which in the end led to PAAN closing in the gap between the scorelines.

3rd goal:
BASS players continued to pressure the opponent’s defence in order to create more goals and widen the scoreline. Fadhli’s shot proved to be fatal as it deflected off one of PAAN’s defenders and gave BASS a 3-1 lead in the match.

4th goal:
The fourth goal was executed by Yamin with a very cheeky flick which again boosted the team’s confidence and morale. Again this was made possible through Asqa’s assist.

5th goal:
One of the best goals of the match which saw precise passes and vision which leads to a marvelous combination between the BASS players and led to the 5th goal which was again scored by Fadhli. It started from Majdi -> Asqa -> Abib -> Fadhli (goal).

6th goal:
Brunei BASS continued their rampant pressing which in turn led to the second last goal of the night. This time it was done by Asqa following an assist from Fadhli.

7th goal:
Zahrin scored the last goal of this exciting match which wasn’t possible if it weren’t for Majdi’s long and accurate pass. The long pass was ended with Zahrin’s superb trademark goal which he deemed as “kalok” (Heheh).

All the players did a very good job even though they were nervous at first. Their performance can be described as an exponential function after the 2nd half started (batah kn panas heheh). Not to forget, our goalie which denied PAAN’s several attempts to score to get back into the match. Congratulations to the BASS players for a superb performance in the first match!

Here are the figures (true as of 20/4/2009):

Scorers:
Qasman - 2
Fadhli - 2
Yamin - 1
Asqa - 1
Zahrin - 1

Assists:
Asqa - 3
Majdi - 1
Abib - 1
Fadhli - 1


Sekian,

Gaya mau tau, Main mau tau!

p.s. Happy Yoooooooo!

UPDATES on Blue Mountain Trip

Hello everyone,

As the title speaks for itself, I was unofficially assigned to organize a trip to Blue Mountain. So for those of you who have not been there and are keen and excited to explore more of the Blue Mountain, you are most welcomed to join us. The more the merrier. :)

The details are as below.

When: 18th APRIL 2009 (This Saturday)

Time:

Please be at the Central Station by 8:00 a.m. I was informed that the train ride to Blue Mountain would take approximately about 2 hours. So if we were to be there by 8:00 a.m., we can then take the train that leaves the Central at 8:18 a.m. (The next train available to Blue Mountain would be an hour after that). Click here for the train schedule.

Ticket *UPDATE*:

The Blue Mountain Explorer Link ticket would cost you for AUD$51.00 (The AUD$29.20 ticket is for concessions only. SORRY!!!). This ticket includes return (same day) CityRail travel to Katoomba Station with all day access to the Explorer Bus.

Once we reach there, we are going to exchange our CityRail ticket for a Scenic Pass ticket with and additional payment of AUD$28.00. This ticket includes the Skyway, the steepest Railway, the Cableway and the Walkway rides.

So the total amount for transport to Blue Mountain is AUD$79.00.

Things to see and do:

Blue Mountain offers wide range of activities - from bushwalking to visiting the Chocolate Factory to getting onto the world's steepest passenger railway. For more info on the great attractions that the Blue Mountain has to offer, click here.

So our meet-up point for that day would be at the Central Station. Please RSVP this event by putting your names in the comment box or the chat board by this Thursday so that we can do the headcount.

Thank you.

Jamberroo Final Road Trip Plan

Hey ho all you roadtrippers yo! After several discussions, rethinks, repricing, cancellations, bookings and researching, Ka Suhara and I have finally come up with the final plan for the Jamberroo Road Trip taking place on the 11th of April on to 12th of April.

First and foremost, the thing nearly everyone seemed never satisfied with, is the final price.

PER PERSON:

CAR RENTAL (WHOLE TRIP): $ 46.00++ (Not including fuel and excess charges)

ACCOMODATION: $63.00 (Saturday Night)

JAMBERROO ACTION PARK: $37 (Entry and All ride Access)

OTHERS: $20-$50 (Food and Drinks)

_____________________________________________

TOTAL : $170 ++

So if your going on this trip, just bring $200, should be enough to cover everything insyaallah. Next is the actual trip plan.

Above is the proposed route we are taking for day one.

DAY 1 (SATURDAY 11TH APRIL)

PICK-UP (10AM):
University of New South Wales, Kingsford. Please be at the pick-up point before 10am and sediakn all your barang. Pack lightly (clothes for two days, swimming, and toiletries). NO SUITCASES. I will charge you a excess baggage fee if you do! Also, if you don't want to spend alot, pack some food and drinks. The first day we are going to be in the car alot, so wear comfortable clothing and bring entertainment (book, handheld game, mp3 player, pillow). I know the car is a bit small, so I will try to arrange a lot of pitstops as possible.

PITSTOP 1 (11AM-12AM)

Bankstown. My 1st proposed pitstop for the day. There are a lot of halal restaurants around this region including fast-food (MCD and KFC), so we can stock-up or have some breakfast/lunch here.

ACTIVITY 1 (2-5PM)

Blue Mountains. Looks like blue mountains is on again. Ka Suhara and I decided to put it back on cause that was the whole point of renting the car in the first place. Mostly be sight see-ing. Lau sempat, there is this apple farms closeby, and we can try freshly baked apple pies. Nyum.

PIT STOP 2 (7:00-7:30 PM)
Campbelltown. Dunno what exactly is here, but its the best place to stop en-route to jamberroo. Take a half an hour to stretch your legs and refresh yourselves. Theres a shopping mall here too i think, wouldn't hurt to check it out.

ACTIVITY 2 (9pm onwards)

Check in to the Harp Deluxe Hotel, Wollonggong. This is a fairly standard hotel. I've already booked 5 rooms, 2 person per room . The description is as follows:

"Harp Deluxe Hotel. Just 100 metres from WIN Entertainment Centre and Stadium and the Crown Street Mall. Located in the centre of Wollongong's restaurant and entertainment strip. Great value! "

We can probably have a late dinner and look around a bit. Rest, Relax and have fun.


DAY 2, SUNDAY (12TH APRIL 2009)

JAMBERROO ACTION PARK ( MORNING - 5PM)
We are going to spend the whole day at the park. Not sure what the check out time is, but dont have to worry since the park and hotel is not that far from each other. Its Sunday of Easter weekend, so its gonna be crowded and its better to buy the tickets beforehand. I havent bought the tickets yet, so I recommend you guys buy of the net. Here's the address:

http://www.jamberoo.net/buying_tickets.php

Please notify me once you bought the tickets. I didn't do it cause it'll be too much hassle collecting money from you guys. Just print them out once you purchase it and don't forget to bring it on the day of the trip!!! If you have trouble with buying the ticket, please contact me aite!


BACK TO SYDNEY (5PM ONWARDS)
No deadlines here, the park closes at 5 and we are free to go whereever we want by the end of the day. So this part is still open to discussion. We don't have to go back at 5 either, if we leave earlier we can still make it to the royal national park north of wollongong. Lots of stuff to see there!

Anyways, thats the plan and the price. We're happy with it. I'll see you guys on Saturday! ROOOOAD TRRRIIIIIIIIIIIP!
