Been busy recently with work, home and family thus explaining the lack of posts..But then again, in summary, I am plain lazy..whahha
Mummy had finally get her arse moving and went to enrol for a 2days PC course..I've been naggin at her, telling her that she will get detached from our Singapore society if she cannot use the PC or surf net for the matter...
After numerous teasing/nagging/cajolling, 1 fine day, she finally went to sign up for the course..
She is atttending the course this weekend and was abit nervous bout the course cuz the last time she stepped into the classroom was 40yrs ago..Kept asking me on wat to bring and wat to expect in class..whahha
She called me yest at lunch break and told me it was beri difficult and her lecturer was pretty fierce..whahha And it did not help tat she is the onli person out of a class of 20 that who didnt have the slighest idea on how to even on the PC..whahah She said every 1 else had abit of basic knowledge..whahah ..The worse thing is, the course is conducted in English..
So, I told her to juz concentrate and absorb watever she can in class, anything she dun understand, I can give her extra lessons..
So true to my promise, I brought over my old lappie which I intend to give to her to practice on last night and went thru a crash course with her on how to use the internet and email..Gave her instructions in English but wrote the chinese translation beside them..
I roughly went thru her notes and thus noe what the lecturer is gonna teach her today, so in order to let her be more confident in class, I prepare her for it 1st.heheh
Mr Love was asking me why dun I teach her in the 1st place, why send her to class? The reason is simple, she would not have paid so much attention to me if I were her teacher and will not find time to sit there for hours to let me explain to her..
But going on course, which she paid by herself, she would be more attentive in class, moreover, I am not those professional lecturers who have a guide book to teach the beginners..
After yest class, she knew what is a desktop, the icons, how to operate a mouse, how to use words, how to do simple configuration on our PC..Tat is pretty good for her and is something which I will not teach..I will at most teach her how to surf the net, which is my sole purpose to want her to stay connected via the internet..But this course is more comprehensive in terms of strcuture where they will introduce the basics of a PC to the students..
I promise her that if the lecturer is still picking on her today, I will go n give her a piece of my mind when I go fetch her after her class later..heheh..But as per her report during lunch, all is quite good today perhaps due to the crash course I have given her last nite..
Well, its heartening to see my mum trying her best to improve herself and I noe this will keep her occupy for a long time, lets hope that 1 day she will be smart enuff to find this blog of mine..hehehehe...
