Tired week

Phew!!! a very long and tired week... so many things are happening and i have like so little time to do!!! recently i jus finish the POL-ITE games for Badminton and guess wat?? TP came in Champion for the third year in a row!!!


Apart from Sports there are also loads of work coming in lo.. but i still prefer our cds lesson!!! haha cos we jus surf the net and do research... haha but don assume we surf for nothing lo...
we surf to source for different types of websites that provide different kind of information.
Like for this week lesson, i tired using google and google scholar to search for my research topic.
Guess wat i found? The two different search engines show a very big different in the search result.. The google search engine direct me to many websites which includes blogs pages, organizations website and also news pages whereas the google scholar only display the search results that came from books or author... I only realise it when i see the citation of the books and the name of the author in google scholar search engine lo..
Really impressed by the google search functions. this indeed help me alot because in future when i need to look up for online books i can use google scholar instead of google as it will help me narrow down on my search for books...

Another activity we did in class was to take part in the discussion forum in facebook... Gosh.. Discussion forums is a good place to look at if u are comparing things lo... in the forums ppl talk abt how they feels towards a common topic. Be if positive or negative, they jus comment on it. So i guess if u r nt sure whether one product is worth buying anot, perhaps u can go to the product forum and take a look at the comments posted by ppl.
Another thing that often struck my mind was y must we citation and bibliography? Well actually it to serve as a form of respect to the author i guess... in recognition to their work ba.. i bet u also don like ppl to steal ur work and name it as theirs RIGHT? I believe that is the purpose ba..
