Yo Mum, learnt quite a lot of things today. And it is only 1pm. An early night sleep really does wonder! Its been so long since I sleep early, wish me well on continuing what I am doing now ~ hope it become a habit. =D
I did some arm exercise, on my biceps. Learn about my shoulders muscle group, they are call the Deltoids, and it is 3 segments, front, rear, side. Thankfully, a search at Youtube reveals that those muscle can be trained using dumbbells =D
Also finally conquer something about CIS317. Nothing great, but it is definately a step towards what I should be doing. Hope my brain continues to stay focus. "Its a marathon, not a sprint" =D
A quick report on my revision on AIS.
Question 1, What is AIS?
Answer:
It is an integrated framework, within an organisation system that consumes physical resources,
And it transform the economical information into financial statements,
And so as to allow the operation and management of the business activities,
and to allow the reporting of the achievements to interested parties.
Interested Parties include Internal (employees as source of motivation, managers and board for attention directing, decision making and problem solving) and External (taxation authoristies, customers, partners, stock exchanges, press, investors)
It main purpose is to reflect business activities, which are book-keeping, attention directing and problem solving.
Question 2, Why is AIS important?
Since an AIS is supposed to reflect business activities, it represents an dominant view over the entire firm, - in terms of ideal maximium profit.
AIS also provides the a common, though no universal, terminology to describe its content. This common language is used to describe the firm's goals and objectives to all members of the system, and as such, provides a selection of calculated ends.
AIS provides clear rules and procedures to recording, processing and reporting. This structured systematic approach allows the the description, and therefore simplification, then ultimately consolidation of the complex business activities.
Question 3: What consitutes a good AIS?
As AIS strength focused alot on quantitative measurement and their representations, a good AIS therefore allows accurate and correct measurement to be taken. As well as the means for ...
Oh dear mum, my memory failing, ok, back to revision.
Mum, I am back from visiting Grandma. She looks fine. As far as I know, she had a mint stroke that resulted into her current condition. Somehow, she keep look away from me... somehow she feels that she kinda own something from me... I hope i did not pressurise her too much =<(
I brought Dad along, and he called her "Ah Ma" its been a while since he call her that way i suppose, as all others exclaimed when he did that. Anyway, it is only a short moment, they all went home, all are present except DaJuju and wives of the uncles, and definately, 2nd aunt's husband. They went back first as I wanted to bring Dad for a light supper at Mr.Bean.
When we went down, we saw the rest of them still awaiting for the vehicles. we "long ban" Small Aunt's lorry to Simei interchange. Then I brought Dad for a small snack treat at Mr.Bean. Some Soya Bean Drink, A "bowl" of Soya Bean Curb, and a cone of Soya Ice Cream. I had mine sugerless, while Dad followed my pace and opt for less sugar instead - he did complain that those are rather stale, but when I ask him if he nids more suger syrup, he rejected ~ as health consciesus as ever. We had a talk on Mary, and her Kidney issue... and we also chat about you Mum and "Ah Gong". I mentioned that you are in the "Yellow River Road" waiting for our reunion... I do look forward to that day, though now is still not the time, Mum, for I yet to do you proud.
Despite the small supper we had, we felt very full.
Mum, I hope that I can really focus the crucial things in my life. Please help me to iron out the distractions and the temptations that my mind is alluring me. I nid your blessing more than ever...
Ok to end this blog, let refresh some stuff I pick up from CIS 210 (part A). The key here is about the need for a new engineering discipline, software engineering. Software is an intelligent effort, an effort that requires creativity. And management, a non-creativity activity, in necessary to ensure that creativity can be realised completely, or so to gain a level of completeness. This is known as the SDP (Software Development Process). The characteristic of the SDP will help or hinder the construction process.
One thing I like about what I learnt is that Hardware are measured objectively, while software are measured subjectively. A very clear cut description to distinct the 2.
The key reason for introducing the whole SDP discipline is to enforce 3 things that are identified when comparing and contrasting Programming in the Small and Programming in the Big perspectives.
They are,
1> Reconcile conflicting goals,
2> foster productive communication, internally bet developers and externally bet. specifiers and users,
3> to plan for future evolution.
sO mum, that pretty sums up what I have gather for CIS 210. Tml, first thing is to do some legs stretch x50, follow by sit ups x50. Finally, some 3 sets of knuckle push ups x3 sets of maximium possible? with 2 mins break in between. Hope my muscle really grows =D
Oh yea, not forgetting Delthoids group development. That will in the noon with more sit ups before lunch. Hope my will surpass my stomach signal. Also, I sense that my liver is up to something not good. I will try my best to align with it so as to recondition my body for optimal health.
Nities Mum =)
