End of UIR

This marks the end of UIR and I'm glad I got into this CDS as I was able to learn more about search engines which can be used in my daily work in the future. This subject has taught me on how to get the important data I need and also the websites that are reliable and beneficial to me. I've also learnt how to spend my time efficiently when looking for information I need by using the advance search options on search engines. I have also been exposed to other search engines such as MetaCrawler and Yahoo Directories which has broaden my view on the internet. UIR has also opened my eyes to the world of blogging and that editing HTML codes is not easy at all. That's it for UIR, cya~

My dream holiday

My dream holiday would be a trip to Egypt as I am interest in the history there. To be more specific, I would like to go to Cairo for a holiday. Egypt has so much history content that I find it impossible to learn about all of the history by just reading.

In particular, I would like to see a burial tomb in a pyramid as I have read on how previous kings were buried and how grand the room would look like. However, there would be danger involved and people would be afraid to carry on because of curses/traps etc.

The way pyramids were build in the past also fascinates me as it is difficult to construct one even in modern times. However slaves were used and died in the process of making the pyramid which makes it a bad history. However, the pyramid still looks magnificent even up to date, and it would remain as one of the greatest landmarks on earth.

I would go to Egypt next time when I get the chance to and I wouldn't mind studying the history of Egypt if I am given the chance.

E-Shopping Spree – If I have $500

For this activity, I have decided to spend the $500 on a guitar and and guitar equipments.

Firstly, I would get the semour duncans pickups from ebay which is currently selling at $73 each. I need to get two of those as my guitar has 3 pickup slots and having all 3 same pickups wouldn't be necessary. Pickups are used to boost the sound of the guitar and there are different types of pickups suited for different genres. The semour duncans pickups are meant for rock/metal genre and I believe it is the kind of genre and songs I prefer to play.




Another thing I'll be getting from ebay would be an acoustic guitar. I have an acoustic guitar at home but it is not functioning well, therefore i wouldn't mind get a new one with the money left over from the pickups. The acoustic would be used to play different types of songs and I would use it if there is a need to for different occasions. Its price is currently $330, and since I do not need a high end acoustic at the moment, this will do just fine.



The total cost of this would be $476 ($146 for two pickups and $330 for the acoustic) which is below budget, and this ends my shopping trip.
