Will miss it...




wow... it's finally over. My first experience of fireworks festival. The final day by France was really nice, but dissapointing for my camera. Did not manage to capture any good pics. Sigh.

Well... Something for us to think about. This is organised by Unusual Productions and supported by STB. This is what STB meant by collaborating with the public sector.

We can also think about the positive and negative impacts such events have on Singapore. :)

Do share our views please.

PS: Those few who saw me that day, please accept my apologies for seeming aloof. I was frantically trying to find my friend, cause the spots for tripods are getting too packed. If I was any later, think I would not be able to take pics.

My First...

ohh...my first time taking pics on fireworks...
It's so hard to take with my auto camera! Only manage to take 1 acceptable pic (which is this). The others are either black sky only or over exposure to light...Sigh...
But the fireworks are really beautiful.

We can also think about how the fireworks festival is a gimic to boost our tourism industry?:)

Content Generator

I've been wreaking my brains on how I can make our learning less of a pain and more effective.

During a lesson, a talk with one of us babies made me decide to create content generators for our learning. XXX mentioned he likes playing and not Geography. Seriously, I am not dissapointed. Because, interest in a subject needs a long period of time to build up. In addition, geography is a subject that not many people take to easily.

My first reaction to the statement was, "How do I make it less painful for people who do not look at geography as the way I do? How do I do it in such a short time?" My answer was to create content generators, so that we can play at home.

Geography can be fun, but with such short time (only 4 weeks to prelims) it is a shame that we cannot venture into the fun of it. Hopefully the game can be a break from the mundane essays. However, they can never take over essays fully. The games can only recap on our content knowledge.

Do feedback on whether they are useful.

Please go take a look
