(NOTE: This “Poem” is dedicated to my 3 "Doctor" Cousins. TWO in Australia, 1 in Melbourne U, 1 in UNSW (both just had their CONVOCATIONS in November 2008) and one ex-IMU C204 student. The latter just graduated on May 2007. He is now posted to Alor Setar Hospital (Serving the Guv). Just promoted to MO (Medical Officer)

That's all folks... Thanks for reading this…
