thesaurus

thesaurus is similar to a dictionary, but instead of definitions and pronunciations, it contains synonyms and sometimes antonyms.
The first example of this genre, Roget's Thesaurus, was compiled in 1805 by Peter Roget, and published in 1852. Entries in Roget's Thesaurus are listed conceptually rather than alphabetically.
Although including synonyms and antonyms, entries in a thesaurus should not be taken as a list of them. The entries are also designed for drawing distinctions between similar words and assisting in choosing exactly the right word. Unlike a dictionary, a thesaurus entry does not define words.
In information technology, a thesaurus represents a database or list of semantically orthogonal topical search keys. In the field of Artificial Intelligence, a thesaurus may sometimes be referred to as an ontology.
Thesaurus databases, created by international standards, are generally arranged hierarchically by themes and topics. Such a thesaurus places each term in context, allowing a user to distinguish between "bureau" the office and "bureau" the furniture. A thesaurus of this type is often used as the basis of an index for online material. The Art and Architecture Thesaurus, for example, is used to index the national databases of museums, Artifacts Canada, held by the Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN).

to get to know me, u'll need much to lived with me. then u'll know what kind of person is me.

nothing more

Before knowing people, we should recognize who are we actually. without knowing ourselves we won't have an aim or destination or goals in our life. i start know myself when i was a teenager.
actually experience when we were teenager are the teachers that will shape our personality. theres a say, 'long journey, long sights'. i am totally agree with the say because of my experience. i get to knew many people from different place. i mean in malaysia only because i never been to any country yet. i used to lived in ipoh, but live in hostel at slim river then changed to batu gajah. then, i followed my family which were moving to parit buntar. at that time i learned at a boarding school at bukit kayu hitam. when i swap schools, i ' fully optimized all my experience at smka slim river. fortunate there were not much problems. i manage to cope in with the students there in a short time. but, now in the higher education level, i realized that school friends is totally different from the ipt's. so i take a longer time to cope in with the society. at first there were some problems, but i settle it doing what i always do, think positive. even that thing is a bad thing but think of the good sequences. every incident always have the pros and contras effects.
