*My word*

My first impression in this subject is in every lesson of this subject I have to approach to technology, science, tool, devices, hardware, software and ... which I am very unfamiliar to them! However, I still take my courage in both hands to take this challenge. ^^    

  "Knowledge is power; Information is energy" 

Additionally, I tell to myself that I want to accomplish the task in order to achieve success. After the first lesson, we were being asked by lecturer to create a blog like this to write down the thing related to this subject in blog and shared to others. This boost up my interest and taste. 

How special task it is! I like it because it might make me become more creative and knowledgeable in technology. 

It is true that it is very challenging since i have no idea and experience in creating and building a blog. O.M.G. However, thanks to my friends to teach me some technique ^^ There was a sense of achievement when I saw my blog was built!

Now, I would like to share with you some lesson I have learnt in class.
