About twitter(a post in response to Ms Loh's comments)

Using Twitter is quite difficult to announce or tell the public about something as one would always have limit their usge of words.It is just like writing a summmary,but at "at a higher difficulty level".Or another way is to write continuous tweets but that makes your profile look messy.To me the best way is to summarise what you are going to say,then write it down on a tweet.This way is also quite educational as in secondary school we have to write summaries in english and higher chinese.You have to write under 100 words in your english summary.


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Miss Loh!

And My Favourite is...

To me,I think Google Chrome is the best Internet Browser.It was my cousin who actually introduced Google Chrome to me.The first time I tried it,within a twinkle of an eye,the page had finish loading.

My new Macbook

Well, it is not my first time I am using a Macbook.The first time I used a Macbook is when I was Primary 3.That was when my sister got a Macbook.It is the normal white colour Macbook.She got it free though she didn't even need it,when she was Secondary 1.But she don't even let me play with it most of the time.So that is when I first used a Macbook.Now,since I have to use one,to use it for school as a learning tool.By using Windows,it is like you do things freely,like renaming a file,while the Apple Macbook can't.However,I am surprised by the functions and the system of the Macbook Pro.It has a processor speed of 2.53 GHz,with a good graphics card called nVidia GeForce 9400M.Which both desktops have no match with this slim Macbook Pro.Well,overtime I would get used to this since I have to use this laptop for the next 4 years.

Facebook Vs Twitter(A post in response to Mr Koh)

Facebook Vs Twitter
Twitter is generally a advertising site that you can make money out of it and make short announcements to other people,which is something like a SMS but it is on the web.That I don't really like the idea of it with only a limit of 140 characters,so you would have to squeeze your words or sent multiple messages.Why people prefer facebook?Facebook is a social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. Users can add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. Additionally, users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region.A San Antonio-based market research firm Pear Analytics analyzed 2,000 tweets (originating from the US and in English) over a 2-week period from 11:00a to 5:00p (CST) and separated them into six categories:
* News
* Spam
* Self-promotion
* Pointless babble
* Conversational
* Pass-along value
The firm found that "pointless babble" was the largest category of Twitter content, making up 811 tweets or 40.55 percent of the total number of messages sampled.

Conversational messages accounted for 751 messages or 37.55 percent, tweets with "pass-along value" i.e. retweets – accounted for 174 messages or 8.70 percent, self-promotion by companies made up 117 tweets or 5.85 percent, spam was 75 tweets or 3.75 percent and tweets with news from mainstream media publications accounted for 72 tweets or 3.60 percent.So,if you were to ask me,who won.I would say none,but I still prefer twitter.

How I feel towards twitter(A response to a comment written by Ms Low)

You should know.I don't have facebook.Why?I don't like sharing my personal information with other people.It just makes me feel uncomfortable.In fact,I prefer twitter to facebook.Perhaps,you have heard a book called "The Twitter Book" written by Tim O'Reilly and Sarah Milstein.It is telling you about how can you can make money from twitter and how one can benefit from it.I believe that facebook is just hanging out with friends through the virtual world of the Internet.It is just to have fun!One thus can get addicted to facebook.I would rather go out and hang out with friends.Twitter is different.It is commonly used to spread the news,advertise.That is why I prefer twitter to facebook.

Blogging

Blogging.It is commonly used to share things,spread the news etc.
By blogging,we are able to share things among our friends like some solution to this Maths problem or to ask our friends something and they reply by commment.It would be like MSN sending offline messages to one another.And I quote:

"The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people."
- Theodore Roosevelt

This will also give one a chance to get along with people.To ask.To learn.
Therefore,I trust blogging is good in our learning experience in SST

My thoughts when I received the letter the DSA form

I was just like this person when I received the DSA form.It said that I was waitlisted for SST(School of Science and Technology,Singapore),I was blown away.When I sat for the HAST,I found it quite difficult.I knew I wouldn't do well in it,and maybe I didn't do well in it since I was waitlisted while others had a confirmed seat in the school.However,when the PSLE (Primary School Leaving Examinations) results came out, and informed that I was in SST.I got 244 with only a "A*" for my Maths.Should I appeal to other schools?I didn't know that I would do that well for my PSLE.Few months ago,when I received the Sec 1 option form,I decided to go for SST.I was comparing my Prelim results,which I did badly in.I had 2 "A"s and 2 "B"s.Anyways,I decided to stay with SST.So,see you next year in SST
