a new approach to fund raising
Have to say that im finally settled down at uni here. think the last thing that was lacking was a chinese delivery place.. which i have found. Sure the food isnt great.. but its alrite. Considerin i will miss dinner on tuesdays(lecture) and thursdays(bball training), having food delivered to you aint bad. Rather affordable as well, around 5 pounds for a good meal..cant complain at all!
Loving my uni as well. Loving basketball here. We have a good club with awesome players.. though we just got knocked out in the quarterfinals of the BUSA competition(British Universities Sports Association) im guessing... we did pretty well just to get to quarterfinals man!
Classes are good. Actually found my first lecturer which i might even say.. is my best lecturer today. I dont know... for me.. i remembered in my high school days in melbourne, our accounting teacher, Mr Burgess.. was so passionate about teaching accounting.. and making his students do well... that..somehow.. it made me work hard for accounting and i did pretty well in accounting i have to say.. just.. got "inspired" by him i guess... and its not just me.. im sure everyone who took his class would agree with me, just ask my friend viv if you dont believe
But yeah.. got this lecturer named Gordon Murray. used to teach at warwick uni and london business school teaching MBA students and all.. the module name is : could you be an entrepreneur! rather weird name for a module..but yeah.. really interesting.. he puts in the effort. you can see he is passionate about what he teaches.. he wants to make it interesting.. you dont usually find this in lecturers as they are usually bored of teaching the same old shit over and over again! either that or they are so interested in that subject but they just dont know how to project that passion into the audience i reckon. but yeah... im actually rather motivated towards this class. havent missed a lecture for this module yet.. thats always a good sign!!!
In the class, we go on about venture capitalist.. how to start a business this and that. And we usually get a guest lecturer every week.. where it be business angels, venture capitalist, young entrepreneur and such.. quite cool stuff as we get real life examples of what we are learning about..
What im trying to get at is.. im sure all lecturers are somewhat passionate about what they teach.. but only some will be able to project their passion towards the audience.. and he happens to be one of them..
Our guest lecturer of the week.. some entrepreneur who designed this product

Cool stuff eh.. a fabric to protect you from impacts of bomb.. its like.. bullet proof glass.. but instead of glass its cloth, and instead of bullet its bomb.. bomb proof cloth. haha.. apparently lots of these has been ordered, mainly by militaries of different countries.. and also big corporationgs in major cities around the world.. to protect its people from bombs! cool stuff!
And yeah.. the uni is good.. fun stuff! Actually attending this RAG fashion show thing in 2 weeks time. Theme for the fashion show: Swimwear! haha.. no im not such a perv.. thought id just go couz a couple of people i know are in it.. and after all. its for charity! hahaha
Charity man.. haha.. swimwear fashion show for charity! doesnt get any better than that! Its quite cool, i think we had some pub crawl thing a few weeks back where for every pint you buy, 20 pence go to charity also or something like that.
The one i thought was the best of them all was... b4 christmas... they had a nude photo shoot. Where girls and guys(students! all 100 over of them!) will be semi nude.. to make a calendar for 2008! It was a great idea i feel. And all proceeds go to charity! How amazing is that!! students pose semi naked for a calendar for charity!its like FHM calendar.. but with students instead of models.. and best of all.. its for charity! FHM isnt for charity.. so this was better! I didnt end up getting one.. didnt know where to get it.. and the thought of seeing people i knew semi naked... was just rather weird. Heard some people were actually totally naked.. but i wouldnt know! but yeah.. thought it was a great idea!
