1A : My Virtual Home

What I Heard

Its really surprising to know that we have to create a personal website for educational purpose. I didn't expect that we have an assignment on our first class.

Mr. Wan Burhanuddin, one of the studio masters gave us a talk today.

One of the things that he say that gained my attention is about Production. He say, production comes by intention followed by act and finally product. Intention must be carry out by an actor (which is the students of USM). We must act by rules - meaning, follow the rules and finally, there must be somewhere we can place our products. For example, Mr. Wan gave us this assignment, that is designed a blog. So...

1. Intention : Design blog
2. act : Build a blog in blogspot
3. Product: This blog

4. Actor : Me (the student)

5. Rules : No plagiarism
6. Place: Website/Internet

I'm here today because of one intention and that is I want to be someone. And HBP will be where i can reach that as i know from the talks given, i can gain lots of knowledge here and hands on experience on what my field of study is about, not just theories.

Out of curiosity, i do some research at http://www.hbp.usm.my/1b/101/ . I found what i want there - to know more about this Integrated studio and HBP.

Mr Wan also mention that USM is based on 3P - People, Place, Principle.

All the advices given by our studio masters - for example, be on time and be responsible for yourself like attend classes - really useful to all of us. We're no longer in high school where teachers will scold us for our own good, nag us, and so forth. We need to be independent and disciplined.

Overall, the talk today was really innovative and

open up my mind. I've made the right decision to be here today. (n.n)
