Imaginary $500

Hello! Today we were given an Imaginary $500 to shop online! What an interesting way of teaching us how to purchase things online, as this would likely help us in the future in whatever business we do. The Internet has already taken the world by storm by supplying information, entertainment and even business platforms since its revolution in the 1940s. This exercise helps to make sure that we would be able to negotiate, make deals and purchase online, a convenient a simple skill to have!

These are the two items that I would like to get!

Eastern Traildigger 2010 Complete BMX Bike - 20 Inch - Matte Black
$369.99

Epiphone Les Paul Special II Electric Guitar, Black
$140




I would actually prefer to buy a better guitar but since this is all the budget (in fact I already exceeded by $10) I have I guess it would do =)

Second EIR lesson

The Second EIR lessons was very interesting. We had to comment on two of our classmates' blogs and have a look at each other's works! I got to see many great blog designs and ideas!

For one of the exercises, we have to go online shopping with "$500" to experience shopping for things we like online. This is really relevant to us as an increasing number of buyers and sellers meet online for transactions. Not knowing how to buy things online is a serious disadvantage in any aspect of your life.

We also had to choose our research topic for our future projects and assignments; I chose 9 - studying how online gaming affects youths.

I chose this topic mainly because of the rising trend of adolescents and teenagers getting addicted to online games to such an extent that they live without the division of reality and the virtual world.

These are some of the most addictive games! (I've tried playing most of them before Hehe)

Dota


World of Warcraft


HellGate London

Hi!!

Hello. My name is Chen Zixuan. I am taking my diploma in Communications and Media Management.

My favourite bands include Circa Survive, Fightstar and Jet.

I love hilarious cartoons like Spongebob Squarepants and the Simpsons!

I often hang out and chill out at home.

My favourite internet sites are iloveeir.blogspot.com, youtube.com and wikipedia.org.

Some of my pastimes include sports like soccer, tennis, badminton and swimming. My favourite sport would definitely be soccer. A useful tip while playing soccer is to remember not to use your hands. Beginners usually forget about it and bring their hands into contact with the ball when they are forgetful and careless. That usually results in a foul, free kick, and even penalty kick in certain circumstances! Therefore, beginners are strictly advised not to use your hands when you play soccer =)
