Updates!

1) The date of SPA interview is on 22-24th of March instead of 21-24, as SPA do not do interview on Monday. Anyway, do not have to worry much on the exact date, just keep in mind that it will be held that week, cos the namelist will only be announced 2-3 days before the interview.

2) Regarding the size of envelope, if you refer the website, it mentioned A4 size. So take note.

Thanks.

MYPSA T-shirts

Happy Valentine's Day, B107.. Thanks to those who have bought the MYPSA T-shirts, thank you very much for your support.. However, if you guys have noticed, there is a slight difference in the design of the shirt coded H from the original ones. There was a slight miscommunication between MYPSA and the shirt company. Apip, the president, had written a letter to apologise to all who were affected.. Below is the letter:

President of Pharmacy Students Society

LETTER OF APOLOGY

REGARDING THE COLOUR/DESIGN OF MyPSA T-SHIRT

Regarding the matter above, the Malaysian Pharmacy Students Association (MyPSA) would like to inform a PUBLIC APOLOGY to all pharmacy students all over Malaysia concerning the ordering status of the MyPSA T-Shirts recently.

2 On September 2010, Malaysian Pharmacy Students Association (MyPSA) has conducted a T-shirt selling which consists of 9 designs in total. Unfortunately, some of the designs did not match with the one that we proposed. Unfortunately, these errors might be due to lack of communication and misunderstanding between the manufacturer and us. Therefore, we would like to take this opportunity to apologize to each and every one of the students who bought the t-shirt regarding the unforeseen circumstances.

3. We are truly sorry about the incidence and hope not to make the same mistakes again in the future. Should there be any inquiries or if any problems or confusion arises pertaining this matter, please do not hesitate to contact:

· Khairul Afif Ahmad (013-9909971) xsyne007@yahoo.com

Another Form to Fill for Our PRP Registration

Hi all!

Other than the Borang 1 that we need to fill, this is another form, known as BMD (Borang Makluman Diri) that we need to fill and pass up.

The dateline to pass up both forms is actually 15th Feb, but since it is a holiday on the 15th, you still can pass up on 16th Feb. But best if you pass up both forms to me on the 14th when I see you for the first IS.

For those who had already pass up their Borang 1 to their lecturers, no worry, just inform me that you passed up to your lecturer cos I need to tick your name.

IMPORTANT NOTICE!! I will not assume that every one will be passing up their forms, as some may be planning to delay their PRP registration. So, do inform me whether you did/did not pass up both forms.

Thanks!

Here is the link to download BMD form and Borang 1.
