From Manual to Digital

What is manual?  What is digital?

Before...when we still a little kid, when we didn't know how to used computer, if we want to share a picture or video, we have to do it manually with friends.  This means, by giving VCD, disk or if not using camera. Nowadays, we didn't again having problems on how to share pictures.  All we have to do is download Upload video or picture. Everything is so easy, due to the passage of technology increasingly sophisticated. Every day, when we open our eyes, the first thing we see is laptop. How easy having technology as all work can be done very fast. Similarly, the entertainment artist that we want to see also can be search, all at our fingertips, what we want all we can get easily, right? Yet, if we want to see the movie. All we need to do is buy dvd or vcd, download Stinky likes the Internet which is quickly and easily. 

Now if my colleagues and i want to have some discussion, all we need is to activate ourself in cyberspace via Yahoomail or any social networking site to 'chat'. Through that, we can do sharing pictures with friends. Very easy, ask first if you want pictures of your friends or close friends.  Just do the post.  'Photo Sharing', will appear quickly. Very effective right!

Once again, as we know Youtube is video sharing website that allow us to share original-created video with the people all around the world. http://www.youtube.com/t/about_youtube. Surprisingly, since Youtube was founded in February 2005, the number of the Youtube user is 90million each and every month plus 2.9 million of video view per month!

From Youtube also we can watch any movie  that people shared, just search any type of the movie you would like to watch. Either the movie is in Malay, English or others, there a lot of choices for you to choose and just simply click either one of it. Then you just can simply watch it or download it using the real player Application if you have the Application.

Before I discuss it further, we must know the definition of the downloading. Downloading is the transmission of a file from one computer system to another, usually smaller computer system. From the Internet user's point-of-view, to download a file is to request it from another computer (or from a Web page on another computer) and to receive it. http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/download.html

As a youtube user, have you download any movie or video through Youtube site? For sure, most of the answer is yes. Since we are born in the age of  technology, it is not surprising if many of us prefer to download any movie from the Youtube rather than buying the original disc that maybe cost a lot of money, specially the student. But have we though that our action may effect the film industry specially in Malaysia?

Without our conscious, our actions have caused loss to the Malaysian film industry because we not paying people work or idea with any reward or royalty. Thus, because of this reason Malaysian film industry can not be comparable with the other country film industry. Just because of  we do not appreciate the work and ideas of others, it make Malaysian one of the country that produce pirated material. and this action also violate state laws. Despite various of enforcement actions were taken, such as seizing and punishing those who sell pirated goods, but still  do not avail.
  

This not only caused losses to the film industry, but at the same time it cause the loss of the Cinema industry. Example, for those who stay at Kuching for sure you will know the Star Cineplex. If the pass, the star Cineplex is full with the audience but know the situation is different. What we can see, just few of the people will going to the cinema to watch the movie because most of them prefer to download the movie and simply watch it at home.

This scenario  totally different from 5 years before, where we still can see all the Cinema will full of crowd if there a new movie was screened. But now  just because of the technology  sophistication and downloading application, it rarely for us to watch the movie at the cinema.

Mdm. J lecture

Do you know your neighbours?

Today was the 23rd of May 2012, as I sat in lecture room, our lecturer Pn. Jamilah opposed the question: "Do you know all of your friends in Facebook?", "How many of you can memorise 5 important number in your mobile phone?". Then, Fatin Amira who was one of my classmate mentioned all 5 number correctly. Surprisingly, all 5 numbers that she had mentioned was the person who closed to her like her sibling, love ones and also family plus relatives. Then, Pn. Jamilah explained to us that we do not bother about others because the two important part that had been discuss is about community and also society. 

Community Images

What is Community?



A community or a group can be explained as a group who interact with each other or among themselves who share the same interest perhaps it can be neither small or big communities. I  can say that I'm a part of Facebook community because me and my friend share the same interest which is the social networking websites that we loves and prefer is Facebook. I also do share the same interest with my house-mate called Zaphne when we share the same hobby which is cooking. We used to hangout together and try new recipe and also exchange recipes and at the same time we do hangout together and also joining other friends who share the same hobby like us.

Bidayuh Society at My Village at Kampung Tembawang Sauh (Bau)

What is Society?



Based on my understanding, I can say that society was a group of people who live together under a same roof or living together at a place and also practices the same religion, custom,law and also culture. I am proudly to say that I am proud to be part of Bidayuh Society. The reason why am I saying this is that I learn Bidayuh language, tradition, and also culture. I must take a baby step before I can actually tell others about what I had learned or know about Bidayuh Culture because we should not tell others or giving others wrong information.


Do I really know my neighbours?



I am pleased to say that I really know my neighbour and I still remember them until now. My first neighbour was Miss Rani then when me and my family moved to another barrack, my neighbours are Mr Lim Ted Mau, Mr Soo Kheng Tiong, Mr Syed Suhartoo, Mr Kasbendi bin Ponijan and also Hassan bin Jawa. I do know about their family background too because they used to visit us during free time and my family also doing some activities such as bbq and also "berulam" which are a good way to closen and also tighten the relationship among neighbours. I recall back the tragedy of thieves who sneak into my neighbour house at night. At first, I thought it was just a cat who prey for the rat but my parent awake after hear the noise and decided to figure out what noise was that.

Then, do you know who is Belacan and Paku?  I guess some of you might know how crazy those people are.  They are American born and have live in Malaysia especially in Bintulu, Sarawak in 2007.  They are so popular with the youtube channel because they speak Malay.  Their popular show in youtube is about Selamat Hari Raya, Mat Saleh Belacan dan Paku, belacan and Paku tengok orang Malaysia, belacan and paku kantoi and many more.  Both of them being invited by tv3 last years to share their experience about youtube.  Belacan is from Utah, USA while Paku who is from Arizona, USA.  
Belacan and Paku
How about Ben Bradshaw, do you know him?  He also one of youtube artist.  Like Belacan and paku, he also well known as American guy who can speak Malay.  People like to call him Gigi Putih because he has the white teeth and he is well know as Cikgu Ben.  This probably because he likes to teach peopel about English words and pronunciation.  According to him, he know how to speak Malay because he spend his life staying in Borneo island few years ago.
Ben Bradshaw




The moral of the story here is all of them dared to challenge themselves and now they are really well known.  So, what are you waiting for?  If you feel talented and dared, make yourself a nice video and put it in youtube.
