Recently, an old friend of mine got married to his dream girl.If I were to tell you how long Ive known him, you would be able to guess my age (HAHA!) so Im just going totell you that Ive known him for more than 15 years now.
I attended his wedding banquet, along with a couple of other friends, also from our schooling years. And it wasa great occasion. Of course the union of the bride and groom is a celebration in itself, but I also celebrated thereunion of school mates. The groom is today a successful business owner in the engineering and constructionbusiness, one of us is a now a doctor living in Australia, and the other a talented fashion designer/stylist/guru.
It made me realize how far weve come. As we caught up over dinner, we made a boisterous bunch. Almostignoring the other people sharing the same table, we whispered our secrets (just like how we were back inschool!), we laughed like teenagers loud and uninhibited, and we took lots and lots of pictures. We evenwanted to take the stage at the wedding to sing our school song, fancy that!
As Im looking at the pictures now, despite our glamorous evening dresses and well-tailored suits, I can still seeus in our white and blue school uniform, smiling cheekily at the camera! I guess one will always cherish theirschooling years huh?
Well, its half a year gone by now. Those who are taking their SPM this year, in less than 6 months, you willbe leaving school. I guess what Im trying to say is that everyone should make the most of their schoolingyears be it having good grades, being active in sports and other activities, making friends and keeping thatrelationship going for years to come.
Enough of my nostalgia though because this issue is once again packed with some amazing stu! Some ofyou have probably devoured our exclusive feature story on Justin Bieber (pg 6)even before you read anythingelse!
Were you at Youth 10 in May? Well, we were! Check out our coverage of Malaysias Largest Youth Festival in thisissue. Resident writer, Sharmini, had a weekend getaway to Penang and shares her travel tales (pg 26).

From a quaint cafe tucked within a Ms
Read boutique, to an established chain of
restaurants springing up around Klang Valleys
hot spots, it is amazing how a Delicious idea
sprouted from a mother and sons passion for
good food.
Six years after introducing its simple yet
hearty menu and its now familiar sea of blue
on pristine white signature decor and several
concept restaurants later, The Delicious Group
is thrilled to introduce the very rst issue of its
own in-house magazine - Delicious Times.
Benjamin Yong, CEO and co-founder, shared
that the inspiration behind Delicious Times
came through observing how existing
publications successfully reach out to and
eectively build a connection with specic
target readers. Delicious Times aims to
emulate this success and further expand the
Groups relationship with its loyal base of
customers.
In conjunction with the launch of Delicious
Times at Dlish, Bangsar Village, the Group also
took the opportunity to present Dlishs latest
menu which are Mediterranean inspired:
Spanish, Greek and Middle Eastern.
Leaving behind their teachers and school
uniforms to join the world of tertiary education
can be daunting for many school leavers. On top
of having to decide which courses to pursue,
tudents are also asking questions such as How
dierent is college life from school?, Will my new
riends like me?, What do people wear to go for
classes?, or even How do I deliver presentations
o my lecturer and course mates?
With that in mind, the Y! team along with our
partner Syasya visited schools around the
Klang Valley for the Y! Glam: Grooming & Self
Condence for Youth workshop.
Y! Glam workshop aims to educate upper
econdary school students the importance of
grooming and self-condence, which will help
them with the transition from school to college
or university, and eventually as they enter the
workforce as young working adults. A range of
subject areas such as projecting self condence,
the art of communication, skin care, self hygiene,
health and tness, and fashion tips and advice
were shared with the students.
In May and June 2010, Y! Glam: Grooming & Self
Condence for Youth visited these schools:
1. SMK Kiaramas
2. SMK Kepong
3. SMK Taman Medan
4. SMK Bandar Sri Damansara (2)
5. SMK Bukit Bandaraya
Eleven companies were celebrated for pledging
their commitment to ensure that the charitable
Siemens Run 2010 continues to reach out to
those in need of help in an appreciation luncheon
in Petaling Jaya today. The 11 companies
involved are Maxis as main sponsor together
with co-sponsors 100 Plus, Mentholatum Deep
Heating Rub, Futuro, JW Marriott Hotel, Lipton,
McDonalds, Milo, Nature Valley, Shokubutsu
Active and Timex.
Siemens Run, happening on 18 July 2010, is the
most anticipated 10km run in the calendars of
runners. With participation from avid runners
from the world over, the Run route encompasses
the scenic concrete forest and picturesque
nature of the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
Themed What are you running for?, the annual
charity run gives each participant a chance to
display their personal reasons to run; be it for
improvement or motivation, or even as a team
building event. Previous events have also seen
many seless acts of running to promote national
harmony and integration, among others. It is the
only Run where you can run for your
anything you wish, and display them

Cover Story Cover Stor
An old soul is the last thing you would expect to nd inside Justin Bieber.But all it takes is one listen to the 16 year-old soul-singing phenomenon to realize that
he is light years ahead of his manufactured pop peers. And because we heard you
dear readers, were giving you the scoop on the cutie that has taken the world by
storm!
After posting dozens of homemade videos on
YouTube in 2007, where the multi-talented Bieber
put his impeccable spin on songs from artists like
Usher, Ne-Yo and Stevie Wonder, Justin racked up
over 10,000,000 views purely from word of mouth.
I started singing about three years ago, says the
Canadian native who grew up an only child in
Stratford in the province of Ontario. I entered a local
singing competition called Stratford Idol. The other
people in the competition had been taking singing
lessons and had vocal coaches. I wasnt taking it too
seriously at the time, I would just sing around the
house. I was only 12 and I got second place.
In an eort to share his victory with his loved
ones, Justin began posting his performance
footage online. I put my singing videos from the
competition on YouTube so that my friends and
family could watch them, he says. But it turned
out that other people liked them and they startedsubscribing to them. Thats how my manager found
me. He saw me on YouTube and contacted my
family and now Im signed!
Seven months after Justin started posting his videos
online, former So So Def marketing executive
Scooter Braun ew the then 13-year old singer to
Atlanta, GA to meet with his elite colleagues. As if
Justins natural singing talent wasnt enough to
impress Scooters inner circle, Braun knew Bieber
was also a self-taught musician who plays the
drums, guitar, piano and trumpet.
Right when we ew into Atlanta, Scoote
to the studio and Usher was there in th
lot,remembers Bieber. That was my rst
being out of Canada so I went up to him
like, Hey Usher, I love your songs, do you
to sing you one? He was like, No little b
come inside, its cold out.
All it took was a short time online for Usher
he was in the company of a future superst
later Usher ew me back to Atlanta, say
sang for him and his people and he reall

Start with something simple and let your
imagination run with itthats what Laura
Calder strongly advocates!
Having graced the AFC channel 703 on
ASTRO for more than a year now with
French Food at Home and a Chateau
Special, Lauras approach to French cuisine is
nothing short of easy.
So, on her rst ever debut to Asia, Laura
chose Malaysia as her rst stop and BERJAYA
University College of Hospitality (BERJAYAUCH) was privileged to be appointed as an
ocial venue partner for her three day visit.
This event marked the third working
collaboration with AFC and for BERJAYA UCH,
the hands-on involvement of the students
(from rst semester all the way to fth
semester), were nothing short of remarkable.
More than 100 students volunteered their time
to provide the very best for A French Aair
with Laura Calder. It was so professionally
orchestrated that even the founders of AFC,
Maria Brown and Hian Goh were in awe of the
students zealousness that they couldnt help but
compare their service to that of a 5-star hotel.
The third annual UCTI Sports Carnival which
was held recently, was once again a day of
excitement and a celebration of resounding
success. Themed Unleash the Sports in You!, the
carnival was organized by the Student Activities
& Recreational Council of UCTI.
Datuk Prof. Mohd Yusof Kasim, Vice Chancellor of
UCTI, ociated the event and said, Such eventshelp cultivate greater unity among lecturers
and students especially since we are in an
international community.
The Vice Chancellors address was then followed
by a friendly match of tug-of-warbetween the
sta and students to ociate the carnival.
The UCTI Sports Carnival is not just a one-day
event. Preliminaries for sports such as swimming,athletics and bowling were in the weeks leading
up to the big day , the nals on 8 May.

Your Complete Education Guide
Edu Zone
Although academic achievement is the main
barometer of a higher education centres worth,
many private institutions place great importance
in giving value-added extras.
Michael Yei, Director of Nilai UC Department
of Student Aairs and Sports, explains how
his department work towards producing well-
rounded individuals whilst improving the Total
Student Experience.
What is the Total Student Experience
advocated by Nilai UC? The Total Student Experience encompasses
teaching and learning, curriculum, student
life, advising and mentoring. Nilai UC hopes to
provide the very best in all areas aecting the
student academic, social, extra curricular and
others. We want to make sure students look back
at their time here as being one of the best.
What is the role of your department at Nilai
UC?
Everything we do is for the students. We are a
student-centric entity and thats because we
realise that they are our ambassadors and our
greatest asset. We mould future leaders, thinkers
and artisans of tomorrow. I believe in promoting
and instilling in students values such as integrity,
honesty and discipline.
What are your key objectives?
Nilai UC believes in broadening our students
horizons to create well-rounded graduates
because education is not conned to just
the classrooms. This is executed via the many
activities which we organize such as the Future
Leaders Camp and Homestay programmes in
various states around Malaysia.
Nilai UC has prided itself on having one of the
best campuses in the country. What makes it
so special?
Our 105-acre campus was deliberately built in
a quiet, leafy suburb away from city. While our
location may be quiet, Nilai UC oers students
a host of sporting and recreational facilities to
keep them occupied. These include facilities forbadminton, basketball, volleyball, a gymnasium,
lakeside jogging track as well as a full-sized
football eld to accompany the futsal pitch. We
are also putting the nishing touches to a cricket
oval. Students also have access to the swimming
pool and golf facilities at our sister company
Nilai Springs Hotel and Golf Resort a mere ve
minutes away. For students wishing to visit KL,
Nilai UC is a mere 45 minutes away from the city
centre.
What are some of the special projects or
events students can look forward to from
your department in the near future?
We will be having our very own mini world cup
tournament as teams representing the sizable
international student population here pit their
skills against each other.
We are also busy planning for the Student
Representative Council elections. This is to
encourage student participation as well as to
instil in them the importance of the democratic
process. Other upcoming events inc

Hear ItFrom The Students!
Why A-Levels?AC: I wasnt sure what I wanted to do after SPM
nd A-Levels seemed a wise option!WK: It is internationally recognized for entry intoplenty of degree programmes.MC: On top of that, compared to other matriculationprogrammes which are usually over 9-12 months,A-Levels 18-month programme just means wedont have to rush and cram everything in a shortpan of time!
Why did you choose to pursue yourA-Levels at KBU International College?AC: Im a PJ girl, and KBUs location is ideal for day-to-day commuting! My sister was also a student at KBUbefore, and they have this scheme where discounts
re given if your sibling studied here before. Thecost of the programme at KBU is cheaper too.WK: Both my sisters graduated from KBU, and I alsogot a scholarship to study here.MC: KBU gives out a lot of scholarships, and I wasucky to be given a partial scholarship which meansmy parents get to save money. Plus, the A-Levelsprogramme oered by Edexcel, which is a modularprogramme and oers greater exibility comparedo the Cambridge programme.
How do you think this course willequip you for your chosen eld offurther education?AC: Im looking at studying veterinary and A-Levelsprogramme provide me with a strong academic
foundation, and contrary to popular belief, a 100%exam focus is not all that bad!WK: Agreed its very personal too. Im looking atstudying Biotechnology or Pharmacy. For me, theexams are a driving force for me to study. Its not allabout memorizing though, because Im a practicalperson. Everything I learn, I relate it back to myday-to-day life. And having exams is just a goodmethod of gauging how much you have learnt.If we are graded on assignments and classroompresentations, its very subjective because it alldepends on the examiners preference.MC: A-Levels has given me a good balance. I ndthat I have time to pursue other interests outsideof the classroom. The course and examinations arevery structured, so if you plan your time well, we s till
get time for have fun and indulge in our hobbies. Iplan to pursue a Pharmacy degree.
What was your transition fromsecondary school to college like?AC: Im naturally quite outgoing, so the transitionwas easy. I loved the fact that our classroom hoursare not xed from 8am 5pm like it was in school.WK: My transition was smooth! This is the kind offreedom that Ive been dreaming of since schoolyears. A dierent day brings about a dierentexperience.MC: Initially it was daunting, but eventually I grewto be more condent and settled in well.
Tell us about the college experience atKBU.AC: The KBU student community is great! There arelots of activities, clubs, which we can participate in.
There are students from diverse backgrounds andnationalities all studying together.WK: The A-Levels lecturers are cool especially ourMath lecturer a real eccentric genius! Lecturers inKBU treat us all as adults, and give you the respectyou deserve. And they all have counselling hours fordierent subjects so even though its a big lectureclass, you can still catch up with your lecturer forone-to-one discussion time.MC: KBU is a conducive environment whichpromotes a healthy balance of work and play. And Iget to make friends from all over Malaysia and from
countries around the world.
What is the most valuable out-of-syllabus lesson youve learnt at KBU? AC:There is no such thing as spoon-feeding. If youwant answers and results, you work for it.WK: As a scholarship student, I know that theCollege is sponsoring my education. As such, I haveto devote some of my time when the College hasprojects and events which require my help. Ivelearnt that it must be a win-win situation, and thereis no such thing as a free lunch. You learn to giveand take.MC: KBU has taught me independence and Ivegrown and matured in the last 18 months.
Were having fun atcollege!

I like to read. In the years I notice there is one
type of books that is the most dicult to read.
Not so much because of their contents or the
subject matter, but because of the language.
These are the translated works. For some reasons,
the language is odd. Many things are lost in the
translation. Certain things are just dicult to be
translated into another language. (Try to read
any translated religious texts, they are the best
examples).
Sometime, translators resort into two strategies
to resolve this problem, to make the translation
more readable. One way is to simplify the text,
another is to replace concept in the original
language with another similar but not so
accurate, but more intelligible concept in
the second language. The rst strategy has a
problem of reducing the richness of the original
text and the second strategy is inaccurate.
What I want to write about in this article is not so
much about translation, but to use this example
to make you understand an important point.
If you ask me; how do we think? I will say, to
some extent, we think in languages. So, to some
extent our thinking is conditioned or aected by
language we use to think. Yes, we need to use
language to think. Without language, we can
only think at a very elementary level.
When a baby points to a chair and say chair; in
his mind he has a picture of a four legged, square
object. When his linguistic ability becomes more
developed, he will be able to form more images
of chairs; including one that he has never seen;
e.g. round chairs, triangle chairs, three legged
chairs, two legged chairs, one legged chairs,
chairs with no legs (hang up), etc. Chair is now
a generalized concept rather than a concrete
object. A concept can be applied to many
situations rather than one particular case. (For
more on this topic, please read my earlier article
What Do You Mean?in Jan-Feb 2010 issue).
However, each language has its own unique
concepts that are developed over the years.
These concepts often reect the uniqueness of
the particular culture and in turn condition the
thinking of the people speaking the language.
That is why it can be dicult to translate
something from one language to another,
although the translator is very competent in
both languages. For example, white is white
for us; it is not the same case for the Eskimos.
The Eskimos have dierent terms for a variety of
the colour white. This is very un derstandable for
people who live in an environment that has only
white. They need to dierentiate their whiteness.
Take another example; the Chinese language is
very rich in terms of dening family relationship.
In English we only have one term for relationship
such as uncle, auntie, cousin, grandparents and
so on. But in Chinese, paternal and maternal
relations are often dierentiated. Uncle and
auntie that is older or younger that our parents
are also dierentiated to indicate their relative
status. Paternal relations are considered closer
in blood tie and therefore paternal cousins are
not allowed to get married, unlike in many other
cultures. But such restrictions are not applicable
to maternal cousins.
Scientically speaking, paternal and maternalcousins are equally close in terms of blood
relation. Thus, when a Chinese speaker thinks
about family relation, it will be more complex
than an English speaker.
Individual standalone concepts can then be
joined together to form a sentence to mean more
things. The rules that we have to follow to form
sentences are called grammar of a language. For
many years I was trying to gure out the logic
behind the grammar of both English and Chinese.
(I am actually tri-lingua. Wow, most foreigners
will exclaim. But, so what, most Malaysians are).
After twenty odd years of trying, I nally come to
terms with reality. There are just no coherent rules
in any languages grammar; there are ways too
many exceptions to
these so
ca l led
rules. What we have to do is basically m
into a habit or plainly memorize them!
The Chinese language has mu
grammatical rules than English. The
Chinese writer, who writes in English,
Ming says that the Chinese language
deep and expressive language. The
language tends to be frugal, a classica

However, it is less precise as compared t
in many other aspects. There are no t

Youth 10 Post Event
The Largest Youth Festival in Malaysia brought
he house down at PWTC during the weekend
of 28-30 May 2010.
Over three days, Youth 10 saw a record breaking
88,366 youths thronging through the halls as
hey explored the dierent festivals which
ncluded dance, music, sports, shopping,
discovery and a conference.
There were many activities and showcases by
various companies, groups and associations
which featured a mix of urban youth activities
such as break-dancing, martial-arts, band
competitions, theatre discovery, futsal
tournaments and a massive shopping bazaar!
Conference speakers included youth speakers
from a diverse background, and also personalities
such as singer-songwriter/ lm composer/ music
producer Pete Teo, TV personality Paul Moss,
blogger and Editor of Malay Mail Datuk Rocky
Bru, and CEO of Celcom (Malaysia) Berhad Dato
Seri Ahmad Shazalli Ramly among the list.
Youth 10 Post Even
Youth 10 BroughtThe House Down!Black Light BanquetFormed in 2006 when the guys were still in
secondary school, Black Light Banquet started
out covering popular songs for school and
events. The band consisting of Adrian, Justin,
Kevin, Brad and Ryan were close friends and
shared the same music inuences and interests
which propelled them into the writing/
composing stage and they now have a large
number of original songs that they play live.
Their live shows are not to be missed as they
always are energetic, spontaneous and eccentric,
and what sets them apart from other bands is
their continuous interaction with the crowd.
Their music can be dened as a blend of rock
and powerpop with shots of catchy choruses
and melodious keyboard synths that will have
you craving for more. But beneath the music,
listeners will nd that they can relate to the lyricsemotionally. Though Black Light Banquet is still
new to the indie scene, these bunch of humble
guys vow to never give up in their quest to
spread their music nationally through the media
airwaves and hopes the day comes sooner rather
than later.
Army of ThreeOne of the freshest bands to come out of the
Klang Valley, the band consists of Je on lead
vocals and guitars, Alex on guitars and backing
vocals, Eddy on the drums and Darren on bass
and backing vocals.
Their music which bends towards Rock is
drawing excitement, attention and even
controversies, with questions raised concerning
how Rock themed inspirational music can t into
our conservative society. None the less, Army of
Three has a mission, not compromising to the
standards of the world, but doing what they are
called to do; reaching the world with their music
about hope, faith, peace and love, bringing a
positive message to youth.
The band is currently working on the debutalbum, with their rst demo single, Blind Me to
Seealready released from the studio. The band
is eager to share their music to the world and
in the process, develop their growing fan base
and create a new history in Malaysian music. The
band plans to establish themselves amongst
the best in local music and to bring their music
beyond Malaysia. They are hoping to get the
local media support such as the radio and TV
stations to push them to greater heights.

Travelogu
Penang, known lovingly as the Pearl of the Orient
has much to oer historically, culturally and of
course in terms of the local cuisine. Here are some
suggestions on what you could do and extra tips
to ensure you and your family or friends have a real
good time!
Tempting Adventures andSightsAmongst some of the places to visit besides the
historical spots like Fort Cornwallis and the War
Museum, or the tourist spots like the Penang Hill
and Kek Lok Si temple, you may want to go for
something more adventurous and dierent.
One such activity would be a trip to the Fishermens
Village near the Penang Port and Esplanade. As the
name suggests, this is an actual operating village
area for the local shermen. Here you would be
able to enjoy the scenic view of the sea, take a
breezy walk on the jetty and learn a little of life as
a sherman.
But it doesnt end there. With just a minimum cost
per person, you could rent a boat for about 8 people
and take a ride down stream to Pantai Keracut/
Turtle Island, Monkey Island and the Meromiktik
Lake. You will see turtles on Turtle Island, monkeyson Monkey Island and an interesting contrast
of water layers in the Meromiktik lake. If you go
at the right time, you will be able to see how the
fresh water sh and the salt water sh swim within
the Meromiktik Lake without crossing paths! Its
truly a whole new experience especially for the
environmentalists and nature lovers.
Eat, Drink and be Merry!Ask any true Penangite and he or she will proudly
tell you that there is no place like home especially
when it comes to food! Eating is almost considered
a favourite pastime here with many coee shops
and eateries open until the wee hours of the
morning. Some (notably the Nasi Kandar outlets)
are open 24-hours daily, serving rice, piping hot
curries, noodles and an array of mouth-watering
fare to hungry patrons round-the-clock!
Penangs hawker fare is something both locals
and foreigners cannot get enough of. So walk
the sidewalks and streets and keep a look out for
where the locals choose to dine. One must-have
recommendation is the dim sum breakfast at Bali
Hai along Gurney Drive.
Not to forget deserts! A bowl of ais kacang or cendol
will not only combat the heat, but complete your
meal on a satisfactory note. The more popular
places to savour this would include Swatow Lane,
Lorong Selamat and the Batu Lanchang Wet Market
Food Court. For the brave and adventurous, head
over to Balik Pulau and visit durian orchards and
enjoy the fruits fresh from the tree! Durian season
runs from May-July.
A Maze of Beads, Baubles andBargainsLike everything else about this small city, shoppinghere is also a larger than life experience just know
where to go and you will nd what you want!
Penang has a good mix of modern mega malls,
quaint antique stalls and local al fresco night
markets. In the heart of George Town, the bustling
Little India enclave and nearby China Town is an
exciting place not only to buy the communities
unique spices and products but also to experience
a slice of local culture. For a taste of island shopping,
when the sun sets, Batu Ferringhi comes alive with
stalls selling everything from food and wooden
handicrafts to silver jewellery, totes and te
