"Hello World?"... my bad , this isn't programming.

Hello world! So, like clockwork the routine of going back to uni finally arrives, but not without a twist. Curiously one of the requirements of this unit is to have us publish the trials and tribulations of our 13 week long torture. Sadistic? Maybe, Interesting? Definitely. The only thing I hope for is not to procrastinate and leave it to die(not that I can as it's compulsory) like my other two blogs on blogger.

On the education perspective, I find it captivating that the academic community in Monash responds quickly with the mainstream trends and times. I strongly agree to this approach of teaching and have an impression that it would be very helpful as a learning tool. This is what education should be.


After reading the blogs of some other students, it raised a few questions on the nature and approach of this blog. How should the writing style be? What's off limits? Yes, I ask too much. On regards to the numerous good word that I have heard of Peter O'Donnell I am quite disappointed to miss the first lecture(ouch, what a way to break my new year's resolution, on the first week =/) which is something new to me. I'll be looking forward to the next lecture.

Naturally as a blog on system analysis and design, I should be more professional and discuss issues that i encounter. In the first tutorial, we are given a warm up task of analysing a couple of non-IT systems in our lives. In this semester, it is the water system and the food supply chain system. My team which consist of Fabrian, Frank and I choose the water system.

At first, we were a bit lost on what we are supposed to do, but after an explanation from the tutor, we are clear on our objectives. Research is going on, but information my aspect(water distribution) is a bit hard to come by as the recommended websites are not as helpful as i thought. No worries though, extending the search outside those websites on the web should provide more than enough information.

Till then, thanks for reading and please drop a comment =D

PS: At least some marks allocation for the blogs. Come on, 0%??
PPS: I hate sans serif fonts.
