12:06 PM It's been a long time since I've experience this kind of peace! Finally a proper day off! How I'd wish this period of calmness can be prolonged! I know that I shouldn't be saying this, but I CAN'T WAIT FOR STUDY BREAKS!! =D Replies to Tag-board: To...
Alright. I've slacked enough for now. Back to work! Tuesday, August 19, 20089:53 AM I scored much lower than before. Cheers of failures roamed the assembly grounds, I wept as I left the crowd. "High 5 man, I scored as low as you!" Enthusiasm of those people turned into laughter. For darn sake, I am NOT retaking. I knew it all - It's fate.
Shall I just focus on other subjects? History is something, one will never forget. Yes! I must ace all the rest of my remains. Then he told me, "Just leave it. You'll fail." What kind of teachers, our school contains? Useless, not determined, and not knowledgeable. He failed in the past for all I care. I want to write an "A", on his desk! Depressed, I am. Don't bother talking to me now. Leave me alone, if you don't want trouble. For I, am trying to swallow my sorrows down my heart; Trying to continue with Life. Darn school, for whoever I am, I'm never gonna give a darn. Leave me alone for I am not yours. Never yours, in fact. Never yours to care! Thanks Brenda for your support. =) I'll consider retaking. Bear our "contracts" in mind! All the best for the coming Orals. -August 14th, 2306 hours. Wednesday, August 13, 20089:44 PM Oh my goodness... I was just about to surf for nice English MP3s and this yahoo website caught my attention. Online social networking sites are hacker playgrounds AFP - Friday, August 8 LAS VEGAS (AFP) - - Computer security researchers on Thursday warned that online social networking websites are playgrounds for hackers who can easily take advantage of people's trust. Opportunities for mischief abound as users place intimate details of their lives on profile pages and install mini-applications made by strangers that don't always have their privacy at heart. In a trend pioneered with tremendous success by Facebook, social networking websites have opened their operating platforms to let outside developers craft fun, hip, or functional software "widgets" that can be added to profile pages. Malicious code can be hidden in such applications, computer security specialists Nathan Hamiel and Shawn Moyer said at a premier Black Hat conference in Las Vegas. "I can't necessarily attack Facebook or MySpace, but I can attack their users all day long," Moyer told AFP. "Don't put anything on a Facebook account that you don't consider public." People are prone to place faith in social networking widgets and links from friends, said Idea Information Security consultant Nathan Hamiel. "People are going nuts adding applications they don't need," Hamiel told AFP. "Every time they do that they are showing an implicit trust in whoever wrote the application, and most people don't know who that is." Hamiel and Moyer showed peers software capable of plundering profile information, swiping people's "friends," or locking people out of their own MySpace pages. A pair of MySpace engineers who attended the demonstration said that hacks are known risks in today's social platforms and that they had Hamiel's application deleted by the end of the talk. Fake postings on comment boards advising people to update software are ways to trick social network users into downloading malicious software that can commandeer control of machines, Hamiel said. "Social networks really don't care if you get pawned or not," Hamiel said, using slang referring to a computer user being dominated and humiliated by hackers. "People know if they go on a computer and download a program they could get a virus. They don't have the same view of how dangerous that can be on a social networking site." Hackers can write seemingly legitimate widgets that "go rogue" after spreading to enough social network members, according to Hamiel. "It is not a problem with a particular site," Hamiel said. "It is a problem with social networking in general." Even if tainted applications are deleted, the odds are that the data from profile pages was already copied onto an outside computer, according to Hamiel and Moyer. "MySpace and Facebook have no control over my servers," Hamiel said. "Once the content is moved from their site they have no control over that." Those thinking that they will stay safe by not having social networking pages may still vulnerable to trouble, according to the security specialists. Another ruse is to create social networking profiles for people using information mined from the Internet and then for the imposters to send out "friends requests." Those that take the bait give open doors to the private data in their profiles. "We think you should make a profile for yourself before somebody else does," Moyer said. "Just don't put anything there that you don't consider public. And trust, but verify when people want to be your friend." -Yahoo News Singapore.

So let's take it's advice, and be more careful when you're online, surfing those socializing websites! It's 08/08/08, people! Happy Olympics Day! Happy ASEAN DAY! Happy National Day's EVE!! Friday, August 8, 200811:13 AM In the crowded city that we knew best,
stood a silent living dead. He came to seek for a chance of revival, but he left without saying a word. The crowded street - He may be in. He sees no one, but that empty corridor. Noises of strangers, buzzed around his ears. He hears no one, but his hollow breath. Tried his best to join in; indifference was what he'd got. He tried to break the barrier; He never succeed before. Acceptance was what he longed for. But it's ignorance that he thought he has. For all that he once felt - have left. Isolation. An attractive route. The search for a person went on. Family and friends' comforting hands fingered on his shoulder. This ain't the love / care he's looking for. He laid himself down, closed his eyes. There's no meaning to life but a tedious wait. The selfless life, led by many. A torture. Seen in his eyes. He stepped out of the circle of life. He gave no comments. Come what may, he will say no word, as his dream of revival - vanished without a trace. A life alone - A life of his own. No friends; No acceptance. He awaits for the end of time. I'm tired. Very tired. I've no idea what I'm posting. I'm sorry if you've read the whole post of crap. Maybe a break from school might calm myself down.
