Share The Knowledge, Share The Fun!!

        Why do you think people need to share? Sharing is actually the happiest thing we can do in our life. Sharing brings more knowledge and ideas to be exchanged. Nobody will improve much if they are reluctant to share. In fact, when we initiate to share, we will definitely get more and more feedback which may be beyond our knowledge and we might thought of having fun of it. 

         Being a lecturer is not an easy task. The time we had with the students is our precious moment to develop them into a better person. By sharing, without realising, we are not only delivering the knowledge to the students but also developing a good relationship with them. Let's have a very simple example, every one of us owns a box of cookies. In each box of cookies, there are different flavours. If we are kind enough to share our cookies with each other, then we get to taste a variety of flavours. It is not only limited to taste different flavours of the cookies but we are also sharing the happiness of sharing with others.

        The relationship between the lecturers and the students are not just restricted in class but also outside the class. Students can treat the lecturers as friends as long as they know their limit. Students may proposed their brilliant ideas and opinions to ensure the learning process goes smoothly. Lecturers can incorporate in-class activities to enhance the knowledge of the students and in a way, it can strengthen the relationship between the students and the lecturers.

Last but not least, again, why do you think people need to share?

Transformation of the Learning Resource Centre

The learning resource centre

        I have been working at Vision College since 2010. When I was in the secondary school, I always took the opportunity to be a librarian. To me, being a librarian means a lot to me. It is a profession that I am always proud of because there is nothing better than helping the students to find something that they really need, and seeing the relief and gratitude on their face once I've helped them find it. 

             When I first started working here, 'tranquillity' is the word that I can think of to describe the learning resource centre. However, the centre is now packed with students during breaks between classes. The basic library facilities such as ample spaces with tables and chairs for an enhanced reading pleasure, computers for the Internet-savvy students, lockers and a prayer room are to boost up the learning environment in the college.

         Every year, various changes are done to enhance the appearance of the centre.  This year alone, the centre has undergone a few major transformations by adding extra bookshelves to accommodate the increased volume of books, lockers to meet the needs of students and also a new prayer room in the centre.

         The new student lounge has the same size as the library, with floor covered with thick carpet of a bright blue cloudless sky colour. It is equipped with a LED television and a comfortable couch.  The lounge is installed to serve the purpose of creating a space where students can come together to interact, gather and chill out. Apart from that, it also comes with a range of sports and recreational activities such as table tennis. Students are now looking forward to the official opening of the students lounge.

I love this quote by Bathurst about his perception on what a library is.

 'The great untold truth of libraries is that people need them not because they're about study and solitude, but because they're about connection'
