Best place to Mug @ Meridian
Be it rain or shine, many muggers have chosen MJ as THE place to mug due to their "unsurpassed" mugging comfort and condusive high-stress environment. To help fellow muggers make a more informed choice about their mugging destinations, we have compiled a list of mugging locations @ Meridian. 
Garden: Pros:High level of seclusion and low noise level. This place is perfect when you want to isolate yourself from the rest of the planet and indulge in the intoxicating aroma of your mugging material. Don't worry if you mug until those Panda eyes develop. there's lots of bamboo for you!=)
Cons:It is illegal to mug here because Ms Lai designated it as a place for non-mugging activities. No chairs and tables provided. And if it rains, good luck to your mugging material. =)
Atrium:
Pros:Our Atrium is easily accessible from all parts of the college as well as towards mugging supllement ammenities such as kopi,drinks and snacks.There's of coffee-vending machine for hot coffee and hot-water tap for your cup-noodles. Plenty of mugging benches available so people won't have to fight for space.
Cons:The Atrium is VERY NOISY!
Tutorial rooms:
Pros:Low noise level and plenty of privacy for muggers. Classrooms are in ample supply and most can house up to 5-6 muggers if you want lots of room for your mugging material and fresh air.
Cons:There is NO air-conditioning and the tiny windows mean that the room gets very stuffy on a hot day. So only mug here when it rains.
Behind Bio-lab:
Pros: Natural air-con=no air-con but natural cooling. Large amount of space and very few muggers like to mug here due to its inaccessibility. Try to get a group of 4-5 if you want more life. Same as the tutorial rooms, there is ample privacy and low noise level for optimum concentration.
Cons:VERY Ulu and the security guard may lock you up in school cuz he won't bother to check the area..(Even if he's paid to do that...not I say one..cleaner unlce also complain about him)
Study benches:
Pros: You are always in close proximity to our snacks n Pokka vending machines so almost no need to walk. Plenty of teachers walk by here so muggers can hijack them with questions as and when they like.
Cons: Noise level is rather high and spaces are in high-demand. there have been many cases of J2s and J1s fighting over their mugging benches.
Study benches behind Hall(Personal favourite):
Pros:Low utilisation rate so no fighting over mugging benches. Plenty of leg-room and low noise level during holidays. Close proximity to PerKafe so you can get our nice nice Italian Soda and coke(we are the sole authorized vendor for Coke at Meridian).
Cons: When there's soccer match, you won't wana mug here.
Inside Perkafe(For authorized personel only): As mentioned above, this service is only available with authorized permission from CEO,AMD and OI. In this case, biz clubbers, go contact Denise or Desmon then beg them to open cafe for you.
Pros:Aircon! and maximum seclusion and low noise level.
Cons:If Mrs Chong catches you, hehe..you die! So do it if you dare!

AIIYYYAAA!!! I have no idea what I shall write. Anyway, I'm starting to feel the "holiday" stress coming. Why stress? You ask. In Meridian, holidays are meant for extra lessons to fill up the gaps we missed during E-learning days,public holidays and all other itty bits that we cannot finished because we are a bunch of hopeless muggers who need that extra injection of knowledge just to pass our exams. ARRGGHHH!
Anyway, just wana thank Siuyin and Zimin who have been mugging with me all this while, especially today, which was one of the more porductive days of the month.
EXORO:
To the MJ teams, Jiayou! You can will do MJ proud! =)

512中港台关爱大行动:
(Images provided by MingPao and
www.artistes512.com)
Today is June 1st,20 days after the quake struck and also the first ever large scale music marathon spanning 3 lands and 2 languages and it's all happening now at Kowloon.During the show, many artistes sang and shared their own experiences at ground zero with the audiences which touched the hearts of many. I shall translate 2 of the most touching ones:
Students同学:Mr Guo was teaching his class(Sec1) when the ground shook at 2.28 pm. And almost instantaneously, the roof of the classroom started to fall onto him and his students. He tried to evacuate the class when he saw 4 boys just about to be crushed by a falling piece of concrete. He jumped onto the 4 of them just as the slab slammed head-on on his back. The 4 boys had only minor injuries but Mr Guo was severely injured by the crushing force of the concrete and all 5 of them were trapped. But despite the grim chances of being found he continues to encourage the boys to survive.
"The road to heaven is very crowded" he said,"There is a brighter path ahead of you. Without my nagging and scolding. Remember to stay strong and overcome all challenges you face.I will look out for you from heaven."
The next day, rescue workers located these 5 victims and start to excavate them. At the same time, Mr Guo's 20-year old daughter,Guo Qing just rushed in from Chengdu by foot and help from the locals.
"Pa!" she shouted,"Hold on!"
"Go help those uncles save my kids!"he shouted back.
After 6 hours of excavation, the rescuers pulled the first child out of the wreckage. All 4 of them were huddlign in Mr Guo's wrath. Mr Guo was the last to be pulled out. He suffered mutiple injuries and was bleeding profusely. Guo Qing was by his side when he was recued. Sadly Mr Guo passed away on his way to the hospital. he died with Guo Qing by his side.
"Pa, the road to heaven is very crowded. Please take good care of yourself. I will arrange for lights to guide you."
Maternal Love母爱:BeiChuan town was almost leveled by the earthquake and rescuers were trying to pull a giant slab of concrete away. One of the Hong Kong actresses was on site. Once the rescuers removed the slab, they found a young mother still cuddling her 3 month old baby. The young woman was stone cold and she was confirmed dead on the spot. but her child was still alive because of his mother's warmth and milk. Even at the brink of death, every parent will always sacrifice every bit of hope for their children. When the recuers pulled the child away from his mother, he suddenly cried very loudly and painfully. Probably because he knows that he will never feel the warmth of his mother again.
At this point, this particular actress paused and pondered:What have I done for my son at home?Have I given him the love he deserves?Only I am the only person who will never harm him.
As the show continues, there are more stories to be told and more encouragements to be broadcasted. And as we take a step back, we ask:
When was the last time I said something nice to my friends?
When was the last time I said "I love you" to the people I love?
When was the last time I said "Thankyou" Sincerely?
Have I truly treasured every single friend and my family?
Pleae treasure every moment you have with your loved ones. And don't be lazy to say anything nice to them. We never know when is the last time you will ever see your loved ones.
(This blog will observe a moment of silence for all the victims by terminating the music service until this post is pushed down.)
