Never die creativity on internet. how it comes? modern people can not live with one day off from internet. whatever you do on the web, there is some feeling to connect through virtual world. checking and sending email, reading news, finding some information can be done by click and click. no matter what kind of information you are looking for, it will come up on the screen just by clicking key word in search engine. on the web it offers huge data, information, image, multimedia, etc. one big problem which come up if we can not filter those awesome information and data is how to make priority and how to manipulate and use those. and the most people worry about the internet, it tends to make people reducing his time to socialize, coz they feel that he can get everything they want on the web.

Almost everyday the features are introduced  to  users.  when  i knew google map for  first time, there are some lacks of capability and features, like couldn’t find some places,  even public places in developed countries. But today, we can search lots of things and places in around the world. a couple days ago, i tried to find melbourne airport by putting it into map search. in few second, the result come up. at the same time, i wanted to know how to get monash university at clayton where i am going to go on 27 June from melbourne airport. when getting the result (melbourne airport), there is a tooltip which show up where melbourne airport locate. from the tooltip, there is a direction “from here” to “to here” link. then i clicked “from here” link to set the starting point and filled in the destination, monash university, into search map box, and finalized by clicking “go” bottom. in few seconds, the result came up, that is a direction from the melbourne airport to monash university. wow, it’s great, very powerful and useful. i can go anywhere without requiring first experience.

Besides what i found a couple days ago, today i find a features of google map which enable users to look at the street directly (seems live, but this feature can only be used in some places, especially in united state).

Technology innovations make us easy to do everything, including in learning language. Especially for who like online reading, there is a dictionary tooltip which helps us if we face words that we dont know the meaning. Unfortunately, to use this software we must be online and using firefox web-browser. You can download this software from the web site and install it. And it’s very easy to use it, just double click a word that you want to look up, then the dictionary will come up on your screen. This dictionary also provides the sample how to pronounce the word which we are looking up, and sometimes also gives us the illustration picture.

Good luck and have a nice day….

When i came for first time at NTU, i already knew i had right to get a room in dormitory. But i didn’t know that i had to live with a roommate. At that time, my roommate was a Taiwanese. I was very sock when dormitory manager introduced me to my roommate in the room. It was not because my roommate Taiwanese, but it was because the way he lived, so terrible. The room was very dirty and bad smell as well as his bathroom. after few weeks living with him, my tutor told me that he was actually not student, he was a worker. Gedubraaaaaaaaaaaaak, prang..prang…hadhes,,,,,hadhes.

Six months later, i moved to another room with different roommate. He is also Taiwanese, but the big difference is he is student, Computer Science Department. After a couple days, i knew him that he is really a hard worker. Almost every day he is in front of his laptop and surrounded by mountains of books. every day, i look him, cheg..cheg..cheg (typing sound) and sometimes he opens his books. He is a programmer. And what surprising me is he sleeps very less, may be, 4-5 hours per day. Even sometimes he doesn’t sleep for tree days and is still alive:-). WOOOOOW, REALLY GEEK MAN.

Freakonomics! Have you heard it? Of course, you know it, because it’s very famous book and one of best sellers. A couple weeks ago, i joined google readers which allow subscribers to get news and information as they want to. One of the most blog i like is freakonomics blog. Almost everyday, Levitt and Dubner write news or just diary about their daily life in this blog.They are very inspirational and provoked thought. That’s why i like them.

I just finished up my econometrics midterm. I don’t know why i was so nervous if i remembered what i did in the exam. it was terrible!!!!! Despite opened-book exam , it was so complicated and many questions on it.

I am struggling to motivate myself to get up from this feeling. When i was searching for destructing my sadness, i found Cooliris which can open link with small window. in addition, i also found dictionary tool tip as firefox add-ons. those tools are very useful for us, especially for who like browsing and reading on internet.

Ehmmm, i am really sleepy now, i want to go to bed and i hope tomorrow i will be better and getting up with new bateries

Chinese, some cases, doesn’t become compulsory for international students who wanna study in some international programs which offered by Taiwanese Universities. Many Indonesians do not have active english ability (indonesian education system makes students to be pasive), then they are facing a problem; inside classes generally use english, bout outsite classes use mandarin, so which one should we give priority?

Mastering Mandarin, besides we truly prove that we study in Chinese environment, we also have competitive advantage and opportunity in future career. But, if we dont have time to learn chinese or we are facing tradeoff between mastering mandarin or perfecting our english, in my opinion, it should be better if we give english in first priority. First, in class and our research we use english at all and it’s also our future benefit, especially who want to continue their study, and then we have many choices about country destination, not merely in chinese countries.

Taiwan. Tidak membayangkan akan terdapar di pulau kecil ini yg jg disebut sebagai Formusa Island. Sebagaian masyarakat Indonesia mungkin merasa aneh, untuk belajar di Taiwan, karena selama ini negara tujuan pelajar Indo yang ingin belajar di luar negeri biasanya: Amerika, Australia, Inggris, Belanda, dan negera2 eropa lainnya.

Setelah, ada tawaran beasiswa ke Taiwan melintas di depan mata, pencarian dengan “key word = Taiwan” pun mulai merambah mbah google.com. Setelah beberapa saat ditemukan titik terang dan jalan stapak mengarah ke pulau ini, khususnya sistem pendidikkan. Sistem pendidikkan Taiwan kurang lebih meniru sistem pendidikkan amerika, mulai dari kurikulum, materi, bobot perkuliahan, sampai gelar. Pendidikkan di Taiwan termasuk maju baik di tingkat Asia maupun di dunia. Beberapa universitas di Taiwan menduduki Top Ten di tingkat Asia Pasifik, bahkan NTU (National Taiwan University), menurut salah satu versi peranking universitas, menempati posisi ke-4. Di sini juga mengenal pemfokusan universitas, misalkan beberapa universitas menjadi pusat riset bidang-bidang tertentu. Daftar lengkap beserta alamat website universitas-universitas Taiwan dapat dilihat di www.studyintaiwan.org.
Beberapa tahun belakangan ini, Taiwan mulai terbuka dengan sistem pendidikkannya dengan membuka program-program internasional yang sebagian atau seluruhnya menggunakan English sebagai bahasa pengantarnya.Terlepas masalah politis dengan dibuka krannya pendidikkan bagi mahasiswa internasional yang ingin belajar di Taiwan, dari tahun ke tahun semakin banyak mahasiswa internasional yang kuliah di sini. Hampir semua jurusan dibuka untuk mahasiswa asing, meskipun ada beberapa matakuliah hanya ditawarkan dalam bahawa mandarin. Bahasa Mandarin dalam hal ini bisa dianggap sebagai momok maupun sebagai opportuni sebagai competitive advantage. Bahasa Mandarin banyak prediksi diungkapkan kl bahasa ini akan menjadi bahasa kedua seiring berkembangnya bisnis China menjadi raksasa industri.

Untuk belajar ke Taiwan, ada beberapa kesempatan beasiswa:

1. Taiwan Government Scholarship. Kuota beasiswa ini untuk sementara tiap tahunnya kurang lebih 7-9 orang, untuk undergraduate, master, dan Ph.D degree. Untuk tahun kemarin (2006/2007) masing2 per bulan sebesar NTD25,000 untuk undergraduate dan NTD30,000 buat master&PhD degree. informasi selanjutnya bisa dibuka www.studyintaiwan.org dan www.teto.or.id
2. University Scholarships. Beasiswa ini dikelola langsung oleh universitas dan besarnya bervariasi tergantung universitas yang bersangkutan, tetapi biasanya mencover tuition fee, dormitory, dan ditambah uang saku NTD10,000 per bulan. Dalam kasus tertentu, banyak professor yang memberi beasiswa secara pribadi (dilibatkan proyek tertentu). Informasi selanjutnya bisa dilihat di website masing-masing univ.
3. Democratic Pacific Union. Beasiswa ini besarnya sama dengan beasiswa pemerintah dan informasi selengkapnya dapat dilihat di www.dpu.org.tw.

Semoga informasi di atas bermanfaat dan kita bersama-sama memajukan pendidikkan Indonesia.
