If you look around us, what will be emblazoned in front of us is advertisement, advertisement and advertisement. The moment you open your own house door, you will see advertisement in the mail box. The moment you open the gate, you  will see many advertisements that are hang here and there - at the electric pole, telephone pole and even there is dedicated advertisement post. Anywhere we go, there will be lots of advertisements that are spread out - on television, in newspaper, in magazines, in any space; even in social site like Facebook, Google Adsense also increase the prosperity of advertising space all over the world. World? hehe

Therefore, what is the main purpose of advertisement?

My personal point of view, the purposes of advertisement are depends on the intention of whoever initiated the advertisement to fulfill their intention. There are people who advertised the services that they have to offer, there are advertiser who would like people to know the product that they are selling and there are also some advertisers who advertised the information that they have to the targeted group of people.

Learning Log That Is Compulsory

In my class, I always make it compulsory for my students to submit and write their own learning log. The best part is when I saw them open their eyes wide - no blinking, seriously did not blink at all. 

"What should we write?." I am smiling

I told them to write anything but do not put it too formal. I don't like it, at least my way. I believed if you write 'schema' words and too formal, you cannot be creative in smearing ideas. But indeed, the more you don't like it the more they compress into it. Goshhh... But of course after a while, they are just into it, enjoy it in fact, I fancy that some of them are just like to write their log. But to some, it's the same thing what you've written on the whiteboard, in your slide and the discussion in the class. The best part is, majority of the contents are identical to each other. Speechless.

With the non-guided learning log, at least that is what they told to use in Problem Based Learning (PBL) assessment. And at least that is what I'm trying to achieve, the more feedback you get, the more you will be understanding them. From the log;

I can see their sincere comments of what I have delivered in class. 

Whether whatever objective that I put through, are achievable by the students at the end of the class session.

Telur dan kehidupan?

Telur amat signifikan dalam kehidupan masyarakat Malaysia. Tidak kira usia dan pangkat atau taraf kehidupan, setiap rumah dan keluarga pasti akan memastikan bekalan telur sangat-sangat cukup di rumah setiap masa. :) Kan?. Telur bukan sahaja menjadi pelengkap kepada hidangan makanan seharian, malah penyediaannya yang begitu mudah, cepat dengan kos yang murah menyebabkan telur menjadi pilihan. Hidangkan sahaja nasi panas bujang, beserta kicap dan telur goreng, nah sudah siap hidangan yang lengkap mengenyangkan dan mengikut belanjawan rakyat. :)

Bukan sahaja nampak mudah dan ringkas, dengan hanya sebiji telur juga nilai sesebuah makanan itu akan meningkat dengan secara berkadaran juga... Kalau tidak percaya, pergi saja ke gerai burger biasa, apa beza di antara burger biasa dan burger special? Hanya sebiji telur bukan?.. disamping pelbagai lagi rencah dan isi yang diletak oleh peniaga.
