Error in UOL Subject Guides

1 comments - Post a comment

Found quite a number of errors while reading through UOL's Subject Guides.

Language Error?

"This is a long question and it is quite difficult, so do not panic."

I do not have a good grasp of English language either but I reckon there is something wrong with the meaning the author is trying to convey. My attempts.

1) "This is a long question but it is quite easy, so do not panic."
2) "This is a long question and it is quite difficult, so do panic."

The Drive of Life

No Comment - Post a comment



Extracted from my favorite Wikipedia,

The Drive of Life
(Traditional Chinese: 歲月風雲) is a TVB modern drama series broadcasted in 2007.

The 60-episode grand production was specially filmed to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the handover of Hong Kong back to China from Great Britain during the period of 1997-2007. It is a joint production of Hong Kong's TVB and mainland's CCTV. The theme of the series revolves around the automobile industry in China. Told in flashback from 1994, the ups and downs and transformations that Hong Kong has been experiencing before and after the transfer of the sovereignty of Hong Kong is used as a narrative device. The series was filmed in Hong Kong, Beijing, Ningbo, and Vancouver, Canada from early October 2006 until May 2007.

Other than the strong casts from China and Hong Kong, what particularly attracted me to this drama is the story line revolving around the managing of a business. Not wanting to reveal the spoiler, I just make a comment from a generalised point of view. Basically, you would enjoy the show if you are interested in business, full-stop. HAHA ok just a bit more.

For those who know me well enough, knows that I seldom chase drama/shows. I think its a waste of time too. The opportunity cost of spending the tens of hours is just not worth it. However, this drama proved too much to be missed.

Firstly, it present the journey of a strong character of how he manage a big corporation, only to lose it overnight due to the lack of foresight in his son. In results, the company has to go into liquidation to pay off debt. This was also partly due to the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis.

Secondly, giving such a strong character he is, the chairman of the listed company decided to start afresh to form a small Private Limited where he has to go get orders himself personally as the chair; which I believe he will rebuild his corporation in the near future.

Thirdly, it also clearly signifies the working and business culture difference between China and Hong Kong during that time. The important catch here is the ways to appreciate the production environment and ways to expand the production line considerably. (Yup, I'm referring to the automobile manufacturing company)

Of course there are many more things to get away with this drama; thats why there is not "last but not least" here :) Currently, Starhub Channel 55 is showing daily from Mon to Fri 9pm. They are now well into episode 15 already but theres still a good 75% left to watch. (Now switch from IT to Finance already, everytime must be in percentage and numbers lol)

keke, don't type so much le. Blogging is a waste of time, opportunity cost!! lol oh ya, the music at the top is the ending theme song for the show, nice right :)

SIM-UOL

Ever since my school started 2 weeks ago, i am too lazy to blog haven't been able to find the time to blog. Lessons at SIM-UOL are definitely not those traditional University lessons you would expect as there is no tutorials to be submitted, no group discussion or presentation; hence the whole 100% weightage of our results are based on the 1 year 1 time exams paper.

While some might not be too used to it as they needed some extra marks from tutorial/presentation etc to beautify their end results, I for one do not find any problem with this system. Afterall, all the external UOL-LSE students in the rest of the world are based on the same academic system. Its just that this system is not too well accepted by Singaporeans as our system here is participation, participation and participation.

On the bright side, while the lecturers here do not have the doctorate paper vis-a-vis those at NTU, the former are definitely better at educating students. Granted, a sample size of 4 is not significant enough. We shall see.
