Inspiration Quotes

Academic according to dictionary means relating to education and scholarship. On the other hands, academic means not of practical relevance; of only theoretical interest. It was narrated that Anas Bin Malik said : The Messenger of Allah said "Seeking knowledge is a duty upon every Muslim". Knowledge is also mentioned in Glorious Quran in Surah Al Zumar(39;9) "Are those who know and those who do not know alike? Only the men of understanding are mindful". Islam also emphasizes education in life.

My first education starting at a kindergarten named Tadika Sri Pinang. From there I learned A,B,C until Z and from there I knew number 1 until 10. However, I am a naughty student in the kindergarten until my mom came to persuade me until I learned.After that, my education continued in my primary school. 

In primary school, I became a nerd and kind person. I entered Sekolah Kebangsaan Indera Mahkota in Kuantan. I was chosen to enter the third class named 1 Tiara. In primary school I must learn Science, Bahasa Malaysia, English, Arabic, Art and Mathematics. During the test and exam, I scored every sucject and got a good result until the real exam Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah(UPSR). I got 5A in UPSR. I am very grateful to get a good result and I thanked my parents for giving me moral and supports. Then, my learning continued in secondary school. 

I have applied the integrated school but I failed to enter the school, so I decided to enter the normal school that was Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tengku Panglima Perang Tengku Muhammad in Kuantan, Pahang. I entered the first class because of my good result in UPSR. The class name was 1 Aktif. In secondary school, student must learn new subjects such as Geography, History and Pendidikan Islam. I was an active candidate at the school. I joined variety of sports there such as football, hockey, running, shot put and others. When I was in Form 3, all the students must take an examination called Penilaian Menengah Rendah(PMR). I was ready to take the exam because I prepared myself early by making a revision from the past year questions. During the result day, I got 6A2B because I was weak in English and History subjects. However I was thankful to my teachers for teaching me without thinking about my problems at school. Then I went to the second level in secondary school. 

I went to SMK Sultanah Hajjah Kalsom in the Form 4. But I only studied there for 1 year because of the transportation problem. I came again to the my old school, SMK Tengku Panglima Perang because it was near to my house. I took SPM in the school in Form 5. I decided to struggle a lot in my learning. I got 2A only in Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia(SPM). I was upset but also grateful because the year was a tough year for me. 

Then I was chosen to enter Pahang Matriculation College in two years programme. I love the place very much because I learned the new things there. Just because you are slow, doesnt mean that you cannot achieve successful in life. Here, I learned more deeper into science stream subjects that were tough for me. But that is not a problem for me because when you enter the tertiary level of education, your teacher is your motivator to you. They can help you settle your problem either in academic or anything else. Lecturers and friends are your bestfriend when you are in college, so you will be motivated time by time.

Last few weeks, my lecturer tought us about Types of Website. From the lecture given, I gain more information and explanation about the subtopic. Here are some points that I want to share with you about Types of Website.First of all, our beloved lecturer explained about Portal.

Secondly, the day next our lecturer told us about Business website. Lets take a look about my explanation regarding to the Business website.

BUSINESS

Example of Business website

From what I understand, definition of business according to the dictionary is a person's regular occupation profession or trade. Besides, business also the practice of making one's living by engaging in commerce. But in computer science, the definition is different. 

• Web site contains content that promotes or sells products or services.
• Many of enterprises allow you to purchase their products or services online.

In the next lecture class, we were introduced to Blog. Blog is the place where we can post something that we like, make an article etc. Lets enjoy my explanation!!

BLOG

• A short for Weblog
• An informal website consisting of time-stamped articles, or posts in a diary or journal format, usually listed in reverse chronological order.
• Blog is built to reflect the interest, opinions and personalities of the author and sometimes site visitors.

Blogs have become an important means of worldwide communications. Businessman and businesswoman create blogs to communicate with employees, customers and vendors. Besides, teachers create blogs to collaborate with other teachers and students. Last but not least, Home users create blogs to share aspects of their personal life with family, friends, and others. For your information, a blog that contains video sometimes is called a video blog, or vlog. A microblog allows users to publish short messages usually between 100 and 200 characters, for others to read. The collection of a user's Tweets, or posts on Twitter, for example, forms a microblog.

Example of Microblog

Similar to an editorial section in a newspaper, blogs reflect the interests, opinions, and personalities of the author, callled the blogger.

Next, lets talk about Wiki

WIKI

Based on the famous computer science book, Shelly Cashman, a wiki is defined as a type of collaborative webiste that allows users to create, add, modify, or delete the website content via a browser. Wikis can include articles, documents, photos, or videos. Some wikis are public, accesible to everyone. Others are private so that the content is accesible only to certain individuals or groups. Many companies, for example, set up wikis as an intranet for employees to collaborate on projects or access information, procedures, and documents.

Contributors to a wiki typical must register before they can edit content or add comments. Wikis usually hold edits on a webpage until an editor or website manager can review them for accuracy. Unregistered users typically can review the content but cannot edit it or add comments.

Other types of collaboration sites enable users to share and edit any type of project --- including documents, photos, videos, designs, prototypes, schedules, and more, often at the same time. On these websites, comments or edits are seen by other connected users. Most of these websites also enable users to communicate via chat windows, and some provide a whiteboard.

Last but not least, lets explore about Online Social Network

ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORK

Online Social Network, or social networking site, is a website that encourages members in its online community to share their interests, ideas, stories, photos, music, and videos with other registered users. Some online social network also enable users to communicate through text, voice, and video chat, and play games together online. You interact with an online social network through a browser or mobile app on your computer or mobile device.

Your account on an online social network includes profile information, such as your name, location, photos, and personal and professional interests. You might create accounts on several online social networks to separate your personal and professional activities. Online social networks allow you to view the profiles of other users and designate them as your friends or contacts. Some sites, such as Facebook and LinkedIn, require friends to confirm a friendship, while others, such as Twitter and Google+, allow users to follow one another without confirmation.You can expand your online social network by viewing your friends' friends and then, in turn, designating some of them as your friends. Friends of your friends form your your extended contacts.
