The Prologue
Hi everyone!
To start off my first blog entry, here's an introduction about myself.
I am Jasmine, currently studying in TP's Business Studies Grouping (Business/Logistics & Operations Management/Marketing), and web designing is my passion.
So, why did i choose to take a business course instead of design? This question was asked by many of my friends when i told them i have decided to study business at TP, after the release of the O'Level results.
Actually, much as i would like to get into design course, especially Visual Communications - since it has a combination of all my interests, i felt that it is best that i study Business, as i would be able to be exposed to things which i have not learnt before. At the same time, i felt that it would be more relevant to my future career as i would like to work in a company in the Marketing department, instead of specialising in web design.
Thus, i would only continue to do web designing as part of my hobby.
However, i have never regretted my choice as i realised that business subjects can be really enjoyable as well. Subjects like Organisational Behaviour teaches us how to manage human relationships and work well with people, while economics lets us be aware of how prices of goods and services in the economy can be affected by many different factors, and the ways to reduce the impact of certain factors.
Then, one of my subjects last semester, Computer Systems and Applications, was also interesting as it teaches us to apply IT into business. Through this subject, i learnt about the e-commerce system, search engines and computer hardware, and at the same time, for our project, we had to create a website for an organisation and apply techniques learnt in softwares such as Macromedia Dreamweaver.
And this brings me back to my current CDS, EIR, which stands for 'Effective Internet Research'. The reason i chose to take this CDS is because i felt that IT is something that is definitely relevant in our everyday lives. It would also be useful in my future career as well, since everything is computerised nowadays. As such, in order to effectively make use of the benefits of technology, understanding IT and being able to critically evaluate information resources on the internet is definitely important. Hence, i am sure that i will gain valuable knowledge through this subject.
Next, i would like to talk about my family.
My family consists of 3 members, just me and my parents, since i am the only child at home. Sometimes, i have to admit, it is indeed lonely and boring as i do not have any siblings at all, but i am definitely happy and contented to have a loving family.
Apart from that, i currently have a baby pet rabbit which is just 2 months old.
My cute baby rabbit is lovable as it enjoys licking my hands. However, there are also times whereby it can be really naughty, such as tearing newspapers into shreds. The newspapers were placed in the cage as it will be easier to change its litter, but when i wake up in the morning, everything looks disastrous in the cage - as if an earthquake had taken place at night.
And here is a photo of my pet rabbit:
Lastly, before i end this short introduction about myself, here are two screenshots of my personal blog and blogshop respectively, designed using graphic programs.
