I got nothing interesting to post, only this video. Still remember this video? It was quite funny when I saw it for the third time in TV3..Next time, I'll post a video that, to me, it is quite sarcastic to 1Malaysia concept..
The most expensive ad in TV3.. Have you wonder about it and what would be the price? PETRONAS~yeah, they are paying for it..RM 10,000 for 10-seconds ad? Well, it is just my prediction. It might be a bigger amount of money.
It's not really a big surprise for most of us because we see it frequently on Tv3..Compared to whatsoever advertisers, PETRONAS spend the most of their money just to promote their "oil"..OURS
If you do observe carefully, their ad will pop-out immediately after the Buletin Utama at 8.00 p.m. takes a break..And that's make them to pay the highest price for advertising in Tv3..
I write this fact based on the story that I got from my brother..I think it is true though..Statistically speaking, Buletin Utama at 8 p.m. has the highest viewers..And another thing is, the big amount of money is not a problem for Petronas, right?
I think everyone is alarmed with this quite old issue, PPSMI..So, I just want to share an experience that I have as a proof that the system does not work-well as the govt had hoped..Everything that is written here is only my OPINION ;)
My little brother, he's in Standard 4..he came to me and asked me about mathematics problem that he faced..so, I asked him to translate the question, from english to malay..He said he did not know what was the question asking for (he could not translate it word by word)..
I was quite surprise with his answer because he managed to answer other questions..then, he explained that he was helped by his teacher and friends, so that's why he can answer the questions..Laaa..ape citer neyh?
Thus, I come to a conclusion that he knows only these terms after he learned math in english for about 3.5 years: "sum, divide, multiply, subtract"..What's the point to learn in English if he does not understand the text? In exam, he always get a good grade for each subject..I wonder if he learned math in Bahasa, I think he would get a better grade..right??
Maybe you would not find this scenario in school located in city, only in 'kampung' area, I presume..Students from 'kampung' should be thankful as the PPSMI will be abolished in 2012..FullStop~
I just found an interesting fact from Da Vinci Code (quite late)..As a reminder, please consider this post as an additional knowledge, not more than that..No worshipping, no Christianity agenda hidden.
The golden ratio = 1.618= PHI
The Golden Ratio or Divine Proportion are the name called by the ancient artists..from Wikipedia, two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger one equals the ratio of the larger one to the smaller ( I don't understand it too).. To make you understand, let's recall on one of the greatest Leonardo Da Vinci's painting, The Vitruvian Man..
Actually, the above picture (the real one) shows one example how The Golden Ratio was primarily discovered..Da Vinci discovered that the exact proportions of human bone structure was always equal..Can you see those lines in the picture?? Measure the distance of your tip head to the floor and from belly button to the floor..Guess what number would you get if both measurement are divided?? Of course 1.618..
Another example, the distance from your shoulder to your fingertips divide with the distance from elbow to fingertips..Plus, from hip to floor divides with knee to floor..you'll get another 1.618..amazing right??( I have not done the test yet )
There are lots of example besides the painting and you can find it 'hardly' on the net..
1. The number of female bees divide by the number of male bees = PHI
2. Pentagrams - lines automatically divide themselves into segments which follow the PHI
3. Fibonacci sequence - the quotients of the adjacent terms is approaching PHI
So, calculate now and see whether those facts are true or not !!!
