Ridiculous and Irony
Saturday, June 18, 2005
OMG....THIS IS SOOO CRAZY....

"...RMIT is also planning to give free iPods containing course details to its students as competition grows among universities to cater for young gizmo addicts....."If it's on your mobile and your train's delayed you can catch the start of the lecture. If you have to leave the lecture early you can catch the end of it on the way home."....Prof Chris Bigum said Deakin University, which was one of the first to send out exam results by SMS, was looking at downloading lectures to iPods and MP3 players...."

BUT!!!!....""We much prefer that students attend lectures," Melbourne University's Professor Peter McPhee said......"

What has the world gone to? Ipods, MP3 Players and mobile phones for lectures? DO we seriously need it? Where has human interaction gone to? Very often I believe technology is a killer. Children today are too engross in their computer games that they lack of passion in life, they have poorer communication skill and less common sense. Some even end up falling in love with the virtual world and are detached from the real world. No real friends, no team work, no life.

How Irony...because I would personally think that education is not just getting the knowledge, it is about facts of life! It is about morale and humanity, it is about how we talk to others and how we bring out ourselves. With technology being integrated in our education system, I really symphathy future students who would miss out the best thing in their uni lives - to meet up with friends and have fun!

Mobile phone tutorials possible

GETTING a diploma from the comfort of bed, a bar stool or the beach could become a reality as universities prepare to beam lectures to students' mobile phones.

Those facing the eternal student dilemma of waking up seconds before their lecture starts would be just a keystroke away from virtual attendance under the scheme.
Victoria's five main universities -- Melbourne, RMIT, Deakin, Monash and LaTrobe -- are monitoring the technology with a view to implementing it in the future.

RMIT is also planning to give free iPods containing course details to its students as competition grows among universities to cater for young gizmo addicts.

Under the virtual lectures scheme, lessons would be filmed on digital video then transmitted to students' mobiles that carry sound and moving images.

Existing 3G technology also makes live real-time broadcasts possible.

Many of the state's larger universities already film lectures and make them available online for students who can't attend.

Nick Brignell, 25, said the idea of being a "doctor of doonas or bachelor of bar stools" sounded great and every student he knew would go for it.

The business marketing student said he missed a lecture once every three weeks due to sleeping in, a big night out or public transport delays.

"Ninety-five per cent of students miss lectures," he said.

"If it's on your mobile and your train's delayed you can catch the start of the lecture. If you have to leave the lecture early you can catch the end of it on the way home."

LaTrobe University acting Vice-Chancellor Graham McDowell said students were working longer hours and spending less time on campus, which could make the idea attractive to them.

"I expect almost all students have a mobile phone, but not all would have their own computer," he said.

But those who believe there is no equal for face-to-face interaction are less besotted with the idea.

"We much prefer that students attend lectures," Melbourne University's Professor Peter McPhee said.

At RMIT students are so reliant on technology they unplug the cafeteria's vending machines to recharge their laptops and PDAs, RMIT's head of IT Services, Allan Morris, said.

He said the university was looking at copying an American scheme where students received iPods packed with university information tailored to their courses.

"I'd be surprised if there were any universities not looking at going down the mobile track.

"We're seriously looking at all these things because everybody is looking at how they market themselves to students," he said.

The universities all said they would monitor the lectern-to-phone system. They said extending existing online technology to phones would not be complex.

Some said future universities would emerge that would not be campus-based but exist only in cyberspace.

Prof Chris Bigum said Deakin University, which was one of the first to send out exam results by SMS, was looking at downloading lectures to iPods and MP3 players.
Traffic Lights
Friday, June 17, 2005
I had been sticking my butt to the chair from day to night lately...and when I am bored, I would look out to the window.

Especially late in the night when there is no traffic... I could see the traffic lights across the road...and my mind wonders...

Life is like the traffic lights. When we were in primary school, we had to finish tones of homeworks because we were not given green lights to play...we grew up most of the time at home because red lights were there to curfew us at home. As we grow older, thinking that the red lights had changed to yellow lights, we thought we could fly. However, it has been the red lights that stopped us from doing a lot of things. We had to meet dead lines for assignments and study for exams because that is the only green lights from lecturers.

Alright, I am crapping...suffering from shoulder-ache for a few days. I think I need a good massage after exam and a super good pillow! (Don't think i can finish studying for APC....sigh)
Mood Analysis Test Results

Mood Analysis Test Results

Is it that you are working - or even playing - too hard? Because it would seem that you are experiencing a great deal of pent-up emotion at this time which could possibly take effect and lead to irrational behavior.

You are a very warm and emotional individual but unfortunately in the past too many people have taken advantage of this sensitive trait. You need aesthetic surroundings, or an equally sensitive and understanding partner with whom to share a warm understanding.

Although you are, deep down, a very caring person, you are very particular in the choice of friends and indeed very demanding at times. You can be most quarrelsome and controversial and it is because of this argumentative trait you can at times explode into open conflict - conflict with even those you may care for and love. It is because of this inherent argumentative streak in you that may have resulted in broken hopes and dreams.

You are presently experiencing excessive stress as a result of self-restraint. You act and think differently from the common herd and you want to be liked and admired for yourself and to associate with people who feel and act as you do. Because of this need to be self-reliant and to break away from mediocrity, you are finding this situation most uncomfortable and you are experiencing considerable anxiety - perhaps even more than you feel the capacity to cope with. You need to find a 'soul mate', someone whose standards are as high as your own - but where? Keep on searching... The situation is uncomfortable and you would like to break away from it, but you refuse to compromise with your opinions. You are unable to resolve the situation because you are continually postponing the making of necessary decisions. You are stubborn but this is no deterrent to a happy life, so why drop your standards. Think positively, everything will work out. It has worked out successfully for you in the past and it will again in the future.

The tensions induced by trying to cope with conditions which are beyond your capabilities, or your reserves of strength, have led to considerable anxiety and a sense of personal inadequacy. Your inability to take control of the situation causes you to over-react in stubborn defiance blaming everyone but yourself for your own failures.

但至少我们分享了不少甜酸苦乐,也陪伴我成长;
你们的照顾、关怀以及友谊会是我毕生难忘。。。

Quote of the day
Sunday, June 05, 2005
I quoted this from Sherly..

"Clever ppl enjoy some subjects they study...but wise ppl only study subjects they enjoy"

Conclusion: I am neither clever nor wise!

Dry Hands
I am having dry hands currently, so dry that I have cuts all over. It is a trouble, because I have to keep moisturising it and it hurts. The only good thing is LiYen permits me (gives me MC) for not doing the dishes..HAHAHA...YEAH!

Just a note: I put too much Evening Primrose Oil on my hands earlier and hence couldn't do anytihng for the past few hours -because i refuse to wash the oil away...(I am not sure whether I didn't want to waste the EPO or I wanted to use it as an excuse to procastinate)


-------------------------------------------------------------
They hurt, burn, and are often as dry as the Mojave Desert. Most folks refer to them as dishpan hands, but you don’t even have to wash dishes to suffer from them.

Several factors can cause your hands to dry up. Living in an extremely dry climate, like Phoenix, can be a beautiful but dehydrating experience. The dry air absorbs the natural moisture throughout the body, including in your hands. And of course, several everyday chores can be hazardous to your hands’ health, including dish washing, laundry, housecleaning, and bathing of grandchildren. These chores often involve the use of chemical agents such as household cleansers and solvents that damage and dry out your hands. Just the act of washing your hands also robs them of moisture.

Even if you don’t expose them to hot water and chemicals, your hands tend to get drier with age. That’s because your body loses some of its moisture with each passing year, says Dee Anna Glaser, M.D., assistant professor of dermatology at the St. Louis University School of Medicine. “Skin loses some of its thickness and water-retaining ability over time, even without aggravating factors like a really dry climate or constant contact with cleaning solutions,” says Dr. Glaser.

Unless they get so dry that they crack and bleed, dry hands are more nuisance than nightmare. And there are ways you can bring moisture back into those dehydrated digits.

Try This First

Make lotion your favorite potion. Every time you wash your hands, put on a little moisturizer afterward, says Dr. Glaser. With every washing, you’re removing moisture-encasing oils from your hands as well as dirt and grime. By applying a hand lotion, you replenish those lost oils and keep your skin from drying out. “Find a hand lotion that you like and keep it near your sink and in your purse or desk, so that you can apply it to your hands after each time you wash them,” says Dr. Glaser.

Over-the-counter lotions do just fine, says Stephen Schleicher, M.D., co-director of the Dermatology Center in Philadelphia. He recommends any of the following for his patients: Alpha Keri, Aquaderm, Aquaphor, Complex 15, Curel, Cutemol, Dermasil, Derma Centre, Eucerin, Keri, Lubriderm, Oil of Olay, Pen-Kera, and UltraDerm.

Other Wise Ways

Soften your soaps. The harsher the soap, the more oils and moisture you’ll strip from your hands. Dr. Glaser suggests that you wash your hands with a gentle hand cleanser such as Dove or Oil of Olay. These soaps contain emollients, which are agents that soften or smooth the skin.

Oil ’em up. To buy a simple hand cream at the cosmetics department of your local department store, you might have to pay a small fortune. But just stroll down the vegetable oil aisle in the supermarket to find a hand moisturizer that’s just as good and a lot less expensive. Regular vegetable shortening like Crisco soothes cracked, dry hands, Dr. Glaser says. To get the most out of the oil, rub it over your hands at night before you go to bed. Then put on a pair of old gloves. Not only will the gloves save you from ruining your linens but also they will force the oil to penetrate your skin, she says.

Wear washup gloves, too. You often put your hands into terrible conditions: hot water, bathroom cleaners, ammonia, bleach. Protect them from the ravages of such harsh substances by wearing a pair of vinyl gloves with cotton liners. The vinyl outside keeps the water off your hands, while the cotton liner absorbs sweat so that your hands won’t get wet inside. Wear them whenever you wash dishes or use any other possible irritants such as chemicals and cleaning products.

Tap into water. Drink at least eight glasses of water per day, says Dr. Glaser. Dry hands are the result of a lack of moisture in the skin, so not drinking enough water may aggravate dryness in the hands.

Suddenly my blog got soo much comments
good good..
at least i know i got friends who care about me
nyiak nyiak nyiak..
I think the ad is true
There is this ad -
1 out of 5 ppl has psycho problem...

sigh....soo true...

1 out of 5 ppl I know tend to look at things differently and start thinking nonsense!


life is the best gift from GOD...appreciate it...live it to its fullest....
Exam Blues
Sigh...Exams again and I am worried for friends who are currently depress. I supposed it is the same for everyone - to procastinate, many start to think of negative issues which often lead to bad mood...

I seriously understand where they come from, however, I would just think, these are all part of life...life is never perfect and neither would we be problems free. One way is to NOT think about nonsense, the other is to look at things in a different way. It is just like saying the bucket is half full instead of the bucket is half empty.

I wish everyone best of luck and I love those special friends that I have...and I am grateful to have them to be there for me...You know who you are! hahaha...

Schapelle Corby's case
http://sherlytanadi.blogspot.com/2005/05/schapelle-corbys-case.html

Regarding this issue, I think I would stand neutral. No matter what the decision is, there will be noises everywhere..

With the 20 years jail sentence, apparently some Indonesians think that it is too little for Corby and are demanding for a death sentence. However for the Australians, even with the 20 years jail sentence, they think that she is innocent and should NOT be even jail!

I suppose you can't please everyone. The truth lies within those who has done it and I just hope that they could stand up and admit it.
