Sec 3 Geography Project work

A very good video clip on how to use window movie maker from Youtube. Pay attention to how you can insert the pictures, music and the titles. You can enhance your video clip with transition effect. Just remember to publish your video by saving it as a movie file as shown in the last part of the video.



A Geography Project Task was given out to the students this year - to submit a 5 min video clip based on the river journey from the source to the mouth. The students also need to submit a short writeup with the synopsis (the content of your video) as well as credits given to your group members and the list of reference for the video.

One example of a video clip can be found @ this link -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjZLAw_lgZ4 which is a similar project done by a group of students.

For sounds of river or waterfall - you might want to download from http://www.jetcityorange.com/SoundFiles/nature-sounds.html Just right click on the icon next to the track and select 'save target as'. Some of you might want to mix the sound with another piece of music which you have - the trick is after you have publish and save the video clip, import it and then add in the new audio track - you can right click on the audio timeline to adjust the volume.

As the file size is big - students were advised to make use of http://www.sendspace.com/ - just browse and upload the file and enter the email address of the recipient e.g. lily_lee68@yahoo.com.sg. I can then retrieve the file from sendspace with the link sent. A reminder - DO NOT sent the project file (mmv) send only the movie file (wmv). The project file should be kept by you in case you need to make amendments. If you send us the project file we would not be able to see the video as the pictures and music are actually stored in your computer. We will only be assessing the end product which is movie file (wmv) which you have created.

Release of O level results 2009

The results for 2009 O level will be released on 11 Jan which is this coming Monday. I must say that I did not expect it to be so early. Praying hard for all the students that they have done well in the Humanities.

Puteri Pacific hotel JB Jan 2010

Another quick getaway in Johor. This time round we were given the 9th floor and I must say I missed the view from the high floor. I am very impressed with the free high speed internet access and the free items in the mini bar (6 cans of drinks, 2 mineral water and a pack of banana chips). Of course the room rate (RM300++) is higher than what we paid for New York hotel (RM180) but I supposed it is worth it with all the complimentary. The hotel's service is good but the room needs an upgrade badly. The safe was not working because the battery was weak. Three lights not working - the maintenance managed to replace the bulb for the bed light but not for the one at writing desk. At the end he brought in a standing lamp. I like the idea of a separate standing shower area next to the bathtub as well as the smell of the body wash and shampoo as well as the body lotion and conditioner. However quite disappointed that they do not have extra blanket and pillows.

We had our lunch at a coffee shop 好比 famous for herbal duck after I got my medicine from the pharmacy in Merlin tower. You must really try the herbal duck and the chestnut sugarcane drink in this shop - heavenly.

After checking into the hotel, we got a cab to pelangi leisure mall as I heard there are quite a number of massage centre there. Found this Thong Yee Thong 唐醫堂and had my 2hr massage including 拔罐(cupping technique used in traditional Chinese medicine). The charges are quite reasonable - RM118 for 2 hr massage and RM28 for 40min foot reflexology. It seemed that it rained when we were having our massage. We were so lucky because when we took the cab to Merlin tower, the rain had stopped. The street hawkers lined the street next to Merlin tower and the rich aroma filled the air. We ordered a BBQ stingray, fried kuay tiao and fried oyster omlette. Simply delicious. We packed chicken wings, satay, goreng pisang and the Malay pancakes back to the hotel for supper!

Morning buffet breakfast in the hotel. The spread is better than New York Hotel and the nasi lemak and the fried mee siam are highly recommended.
