Main topic in June Holidays

Hi guys! The holidays are just around the corner, in fact, they ARE already here. Anyway, I have training almost everyday in the holidays, but I will try my best to update the blog. The topics may be a bit random, but actually the main one's going to be about Village By The Sea, a literature text that I studied in term 2. I find it quite interesting as the themes that the author uses in her books are real problems faced by people in the slums. Their lives are, in fact, actually rubbish. They live day to day and if any problems crop up along the way, like incurring of debt, they will live with it for the rest of their lives. For example, if they incur a small debt, they cannot get rid of their debt as long as they live as they earn so little that they only have the infinitesimally small fraction of their salary to spend, (supposing they have one). This is explained in the book, Village by the sea. Therefore, I want to discuss about this book in the holidays. Visit my blog frequently to read my comments!

Game Addiction--Yellow Alert

Do you play Mousehunt?What about Virtual Badminton Game? Or Mafia Wars?
These are the "normal" questions in school nowadays. Well, in my class, after all. These games are from Facebook, the recent "hot" thing among adults and teenagers alike. It may even be for all age groups now.
But, for teenagers, the things that attract them to Facebook are the games. Due to the stress in school(which they presume is the biggest in the world), they play these games to "de-stress".
But, these games are slowly becoming their life. They play it almost always in their free time. Without it, they feel very bored.
I admit, I also play these games. But, I do have my limits and my mother to control me. Those who have this problem, please try to solve it. Don't let it take over your life. You'll regret it.

Cyberspace dangers

Hi people! My post today is about the cyber dangers. You may be thinking, yeah,yeah.So what? I'm not as stupid as to give away my private information.But did you know that even the tiniest, most infinitesimal amount of information you just leak accidentally might lead to you being tracked down and harassed?
Lets say you give a stranger your school name, CCA and maybe your birth month.
These are the examples.
School name : ABC school
CCA : NPCC
birth month: May
The stranger can track down the school and CCA easily. Cracking into the database would be child's play for...well, a child. And then your birth month comes into play. It isn't possible that all of the people in your CCA has the same birth month right? So the stranger can track you down in these simple steps.
So, guard your personal information very carefully. You don't want to be harassed.

Monster on beach!!!

Hi guys. I just read on the Yahoo! website. One article caught my eye in particular. It read:-
The web is excited by 'monster' mystery
Now, I thought to myself. This should be a great article to read.
I opened the link and started reading. I kept on the edge of my seat even though it was just a short and almost puny article. Even though there was only a brief description of it, there were no pictures of the 'monster'. However, there was a link to the pictures(on another website). But the brief description was enough to intimidate me not to go to the page already. The description inferred that it looked like a very large raccoon. I don't know how through it is, but I didn't dare to go and see the pictures. the idea of looking at the pictures just before I sleep was enough to give me the goosebumps. Grizzly, isn't it?

P.S. NOT for the faint-hearted.
