Reflection 5.

Hellos!
After much procrastination, here is my reflection for Friday's lesson.

So basically, the day started off with the test for lecture 1-5.
Well, everyone had different set of questions and I scored 14/20,which was below expectations. Now that i have a feel of how the test will be like, i will work hard for the next test. Hopefully i will be able to do better next time.

After the test, we went off to analyze www.talkingcock.com.
I've heard of this website for many times now. It is a website that makes spoofs out of anything, but mainly the Singapore parliament. Personally i feel that this website serves as a very good assessment for the government as not only does it serve as a source of feedback of how Singaporeans feel every time a decision is made, it also reminds the government that there are room for improvements.

For this assignment, I was required to role-play(not quite) as Singaporeans. About how we feel about the website and it's sustainability. To many people, this website is inappropriate in many areas for its use of language and contents. But to me, it actually serves as a wake up call to many people.
The reason to why the website is able to sustain for such a long period of time is due to the fact that there is truth behind every false account they make. For example, in the website, there will be many posts that includes the phrase " Escape from toilet". For an example "Bukit Gorblok Town Council has come clean about exactly where all the money it has collected from residents has gone – out the window. Specifically, a toilet window." Sounds familiar? All these posts actually links back to the mistake of the government regarding the light security in the prison that allowed Mas Selamat to escape.

Other than that, i've realised that posts in talkingcock.com often links to Singapore news. Although they might make fun of the problem at the end of the post, they actually pointed out the problem that Singaporeans are facing. I am not very sure if i am allowed to post the things found in talkingcock.com thus i will go without the more precise examples that can be found there. But anyway, i feel that talkingcock.com points out very real problems with alot of entertainment value that in a sense, should not be put to heart but then again, should not be neglected.

Yeap that is my review for what we did on Friday.
I will stop here for reflection 5.

See you soon
