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.

2 Day 1 Night Secondary 1 Orientational Camp Personal Reflection
Well,it is not exactly the best adventure camp I have gone to,but it is still a good one.Why?The best part of this camp is that we have more freedom,just like we can wear our anything anywhere.I had actually went to Sarimbun Scout Camp before,managed by the same vendor.That was when I was in Primary 5.We didn't even have a mud slide or flying fox.Now in this 2 Day 1 Night camp,we are able to go for a Night Walk in the jungle,abseiling and mud slide.Anyway,back to the main point,some would ask me what was my favourite activity?Without any doubt,I would immediately say abseiling.The time I was about to fall,I looked down,then looked up at the man handling abseiling.I am afraid of heights.I was asking myself,am I crazy jumping off that?When I was ready,my heart beat as fast as a turbo car.Am I insane!!"Go!Go!"was what I heard faintly,and I jumped off.It was simply"shiok".The wind was blowing into my face,as if I was a dog sticking out my tongue in a ferrari.When I was about to land,I nearly hit the pole.THAT was very scary!What is my second favourite activity?It is actually the nightwalk.Though it was simply gooey,muddy,and there was poo on the ground(if you didn't notice)!!!!!It was actually quite fun,not very scary at all.So this were my favourite two activities.Anyway,I had learnt some very interesting things.Teamwork is actually part of the SST's school value "Forging Excellence"As long everbody work together,it will maximise our fullest potential,which will produce the best results.

First day of school.
It was the first day of school,4th of January 2010 and I was quite nervous.I arrived in school at about 7.30.a.m.The moment I stepped into the school compound I was asking myself.What is this?What am I doing here?Why am I wearing this school uniform?I am supposed to be in Nanyang Primary wearing its uniform,not in SST uniform.I felt like breaking down any moment,due to accelerated heartbeat.Reluctantly,I dragged my feet to the hall,I just can't believe that I am in a secondary school,especially so in SST.However,I had quite a surprised.I didn't know that the classrooms were air-conditioned!Anyway,I somehow ridiculed myself today too.Before recess,we were supposed to lock our laptop into our lockers.What actually happened is that I lost my pin and I can't open my locker!!!Thankfully,Mr Koh reset the lock and I was able to open it.So I went back to the locker during recess to reset the lock and left.But after I came back,I can't open the lock again!!!After this day,I feel that secondary education is not so bad after all,its just a change in your learning background.So this is my first day of school,how about yours?
The first post in 2010
To my fellow peers and my teachers from both Nanyang Primary And School of Science and Technology,Singapore reading this post,
Many big events have occurred in 2009,like the end of the Credit Crisis,the outbreak of H1N1 and PSLE,I am very grateful that we have finally overcame these obstacles.Now the year 2009 is going to be gone,and there will be a fresh new year ahead.Let us be optimistic about 2010.
There will be quite a number of events happening next year,like
Youth Olympic Games
F1 2010
Our first exam in our new school
and so on.
I hope that 2010 would be a fruitful,and fun-filled year.So shall it be.

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.

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.
