3. Slow Juicer Machine

The advantages and innovative features of Hurom Slow Juicer include:

•  With its ‘low speed’ technology at only 80 rpm, this slow juicer can minimize the risk of vitamin or nutrition oxidation as well as enzymes enriched in fruits and vegetables. The juice that has been processed will be more fresh and natural in colour. This is totally contrast to a centrifugal juicer which damages the vitamin content and also the colour with its speed of 10 000 rpm.

• "Squeezer", a system of slow juicer which squeezes and extracts fruits or vegetables with high pressure, is able to extract up to 98% juice, and maintain up to 80% of the fibre content.

• "Silent", a concept in which you do not have to worry about any unpleasant sounds coming from this innovation as it works silently, the important thing is the quality of juice production process.

•  "Easy to Clean" It is easy and practical to clean.

EDUCATIONAL ISSUE: EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IN MALAYSIA

Salam to all.

For GGGE 2123 course, one of the tasks is to come out with an entry or I better say discussion, regarding educational issue. We often heard about all sorts of issues in education, from PPSMI, gender bias in education, co-curricular, proficiency in English to nonetheless the educational system itself.

For this task, I would like to discuss on the educational system in Malaysia. Prior to that, let's look back at the definition of the key word, which is education. In a broad sense, education simply means the process of teaching or learning in a school or college, or the knowledge that you get from this. This basic definition is taken from Cambridge Dictionary Online. While it can also be defined as a process of cognitive cartography, mapping your experiences and finding a variety of reliable routes to optimal states of mind regardless of the situation you are in. Being an educated person means you are able to perceive accurately, think clearly and act effectively to achieve self selected goals and aspirations. 

However, when we look back at the educational system in Malaysia, does it really work out with the second definition? Some people would merely and harshly say that it does not work such way. Why? Education is the responsibility of the Government and it is committed to providing a sound education to all. Yet in my opinion, the responsibility is not only to be put on the hands of the Government who imposes the system per say, but we, as the citizens who need the education have to cooperate and voice our views, in order to get a good education. Note that I am not saying that Malaysia has a poor educational system, but I am trying to recall on our educational system then and currently imposing to us. 

We have a system of schooling of long years, from pre-school, through elementary (primary school) and secondary school. They make a total of 12 years of a child to complete his schooling. But what is with the overall output that he gets? Is he going to be a skilfully and creative employer later? Or in other way, a geek who does not even know how to present himself appropriately for an interview? Our educational system is being exam-oriented. When I reminisce my school years, the students are recruited to study all night long, to prepare for the tests each week, with a total of 10 or more subjects  (for Form 4 and Form 5 students). Yes, we are all bookworms, or I must say revision-book-geeky-worms. It is stressful but it is kind of rule or imposition to abide, or otherwise you will not get your straight A's and will pull your school ranking down. As for me, I have done pure sciences in my school years and pursued it as well in matriculation (foundation-alike). But what I am majoring now is something totally different which is English Language Studies since I found that Sciences has become quite an alien to me.

Back to the topic, I think Malaysia should take the western countries as an example. For instance, Australia. There, students are not only drilled with books, homework and exams but the style is more practical, hands-on kind of learning. One of my lecturers once a teacher in Australia and he shared his experience teaching through Aussie educational system. Yes, students there starts their classes just like us, in the morning. Then around 10, it is not a mere recess time, but they got to play. What is meant here is they do the hands-on activities like science experiment and of course learning in a creative way, technology and innovation. Besides, they only have three subjects thought in school which are Social Studies, Language and Science. Their science subject varies, but composed in only one subject, Science. Unlike us, in which we have Biology, Physics, Chemistry, EST (for my generation), Maths and the craziest, Add Maths. But at the end of the day, our learning, drill practice, homework are just the preparation for examination. I repeat, for EXAMINATION..And you can guess what it will be like after the exam? Even a step out of the exam hall, it is likely that almost all sorts of information are forgotten. Don't you think it is somehow useless, and pathetic?

So, I think we, as the children, teenagers, youth and even adults who always need education and lifelong learning, need to voice our opinion regarding this issue. We need the practical, communicative and task-based kind of learning, as well as teaching. For instance, the application of technology in education such as the use of software for subjects, practically is now implemented for Maths and Sciences. In addition, I think we can as well make it through with other subjects, such as Geography, English and Arts by applying the GIS, grammar and machine translation and CAD software respectively. Other than that, hands-on activities should be ensured involved by all students and teachers should put their primary concern on this. Field trip is promoted to all students regardless of their competency as each and every children deserve education fairly.

Last but not least, it is crucial to always keep in mind that education is not something that you learn and understand to be tested on paper, but it is a lifetime learning involving human interaction and promoting skills and creativity.

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all..

It's neither a cup of coolblog nor the sparkling pearl to munch on, but this is just a cool blog (hopefully to-be), constituting the author's thought, sharing knowledge, updates on technology and innovation, as well as a sphere for leisure, but never for emotional stuff yet affective somehow. 

Well, it depends on the readers' pragmatic judgement but just so you know or should know or should learn, is to question before you judge. Now let's LOL though it's not quite practical, or I'd better say SMILE. Hehe because we knew that SMILE means joy to the whole world and it unites us, like seriously..:) :D ;)

a cup of Coolblog is enough to make me smile to the extent  of 'senyum sampai telinga'..:)
