During the recent Chinese New Year, a lot of the students took the time to celebrate it by visiting each other's houses including Kenny's. It was a good opportunity for us to have some fun and get to know each other a little bit more better. The celebrations were just the thing to de-stress ourselves after the Charity Evening =p. Here are some of the pictures we took. Enjoy.

I was browsing the internet one day and I found a site that pays bloggers to post. Interesting actually. I checked their website and they let you sign up for free. Now, how many bloggers have you seen in Brunei that advertise a company's product for free? You write your reviews about the them and generate traffic to their site, for free. Who get the benefits here? PayPerPost or so I called it PPP allows blogger to say about a product or a company in their post and get paid.
Anyone who have a blog can sign up really. It is that easy. I signed up a few days ago and I was approved! Yay... It is about time that I can earn some money from this blog. I need to get a personalised domain once I have enough cash to maintain this site. What would be the best domain name suited for this site? imdabest.com, institutemedicine.com, imedicine.com? Well, I will make a poll one day for the new url, once I got paid.
Another good thing about PPP is that they provide tutorial videos in their site. I need that. They guide you step by step on how to get you started. They are a list of advertiser at PPP and you can choose which product you want to accept that is suited with your blog. You can visit their site if you need more information.

BHSc Health Science started 3 years ago and since then we have 46 local and international students. This programme is a 3 year ordinary degree in UBD and once you have the degree, will have the opportunity to continue another +/-3 years of MBBS overseas. We have almost 7 partner medical school in Canada, U.K and Australia. This programme have become more well known locally and abroad.
"I came to know of the Institute of Medicine from my Uncle residing in London. He was aware of my ambitions of becoming a Doctor, and having met with some representatives from the IM (in London) he was more than convinced that UBD's six-year, double degree program would befit my medical aspirations. The education is top notch and interactive (Problem Based Learning), the environment is suitable for learning, the faculty is so supportive, and the students are all very well rounded. I love it here." - Mohamed M. Sheikh, New York.
If you have 3 A'level with 3 grade B's and you have a credit for your English O'level, you can apply. After we call you, you will undergo a vigorous 'Mini Multiple Interview'.
