Asian Scienc Camp - Closest Chance to Japan ever,But Fail.


Following successful camps at Taipei(2006) and Bali(2007) , the 3th Asian Science Camp will be held August 2nd - 8th in Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan. There are about 200 outstanding science- orientated students, who will be selected from high schools (final year or twelfth grade) and colleges in and around the Asian region will be attend to ASC 2009.The main subjects that will be talk about in ASC2009 are physics and chemistry.A majority of Nobel lectures in physics and chemistry area had been invited to ASC 2009 too.They are:

Leo Esaki Nobel Laureate in Physics 1973
Makoto Kobayashi Nobel Laureate in Physics 2008
Masatoshi Koshiba Nobel Laureate in Physics 2002
Yuan T. Lee Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 1986
Ryoji Noyori Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 2001
Koichi Tanaka Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 2002
Samuel C.C.Ting (to be decided) Nobel Laureate in Physics 1976
Chen Ning Yang Nobel Laureate in Physics 1957

Ok,fine,turn back to my story.No doubt,I am extremely interesting to attend to the ASC 2009.There is not only a life-changing opportunity can be expected and it also the best chance that I can have a trip to Japan.Hence,I started to contact to the person who handling to do the selection of students for represent Malaysia to ASC 2009,Prof Dato' Dr Mohd Jamil Maah.Then,I also starting prepared the material that needed such as resume,teacher's recommendation and others.After all, I was exciting and waiting for his reply.

Just few days ago,closer to the deadline for apply to the ASC 2009,Prof Dato' Dr Mohd Jamil Maah had replied me that I had already into the short-list which properly will get the chance participate to ASC2009.Hoping and wishing,wishing and hoping,the final result had been announced at 13 April.It was his reply:
"We have to consider the seniors first as their chances to be chosen again are getting slimmer and you still have ample time to be chosen again. It is very sorry to inform that you are not listed this time and this would not discourage you to apply for the coming ASCs."
I stuck all of a sudden.I knew that I had failed in applying to ASC 2009.It was really a sad time.However,It was a great experience too.I had learnt about how to perpared a resume and streagthen a lot my english during the perparation.Otherwise,thanks a lot to my physics teacher,Lim Tian Loong,and his wife,Madam Dai who is my English teacher as well.They were really giving a lot of support to my application.Ok,my aim is turn to MICSS again,wish will have all the best time at there and got the chance to Taiwan for WCS Science Camp.

Stanford publish free iPhone course on iTunes

Quote from AppleInsider:
Stanford University will be publishing video podcasts and slides from its popular "iPhone Application Programming" course on iTunes U for free to the general public, beginning this week.


"There's a lot of interest in the iPhone," said Brent Izutsu, Stanford's project manager for Stanford on iTunes U. "This course provides an excellent opportunity for us to show the breadth and depth of our curriculum and the innovation of our students."

Stanford was one of the first universities to embrace iTunes U. At its launch, Stanford Provost John Etchemendy said, "From its earliest days, Stanford has sought to serve the public by sharing the knowledge generated by our faculty and students. Our partnership with Apple and iTunes U provides a creative and innovative way to engage millions of people with our teaching, learning and research and share the experience of intellectual exploration and discovery that defines our university."

Its offical website: http://itunes.stanford.edu/ Let's check out for it.

Apple bought 100 million 8Gb NAND flash chips from Samsung!

100 million 8Gb NAND flash chips?Yes, that's true.This news was reported by the DigiTimes just few days ago.According to DigiTimes, this order will effect a lot to the NAND flash chips market and soar up the NAND flash chips price all of a sudden.

"Apple has reportedly placed orders for 100 million 8Gb NAND flash chips mostly with Samsung Electronics, which is likely to cause a supply shortage, according to sources at downstream suppliers. Nokia and Sony recently also began building their NAND flash inventories, further tightening supply, the sources added."

Whatever, back to the topic, why Apple would do a big deal such like this?Seem like a next generation large storage iPhone or iPod can be expected to reveal soon at the upcoming WWDC 2009.
