English Oral Scripts

Wilson Phua:
A very good morning I bid to Miss Chew and my fellow classmates. Today, we are going to talk about the advantages and the disadvantages of the internet.


Nicholas:
Ten years ago, the Internet was practically unheard of by most people. Today, the Internet is one of the most powerful tools throughout the world. The Internet is a collection of various services and resources. The Internet provides many facilities to the people. One of the main advantages of Internet is to share information. You can share information with other people around the world. The scientist or researchers can interact with each other to share knowledge and to get guidance. Sharing information through Internet is very easy, cheap and fast method. Besides, you can also collect a lot of information through the internet. A lot of information of different types is stored on the web server on the Internet. It means that billions websites contain different information in the form of text and pictures. You can easily collect
information on every topic of the world. For this purpose, special websites, called search engines are available on the Internet to search information of every topic of the world.


Chung Yu:
On top of that, You can get latest news of the world on the Internet. Most of the newspapers of the world are also available on the Internet. They have their websites from where you can get the latest news about the events happening in the world. These websites are periodically updated or they are immediately updated with latest news when any event happens around the world. You can also search different types of jobs all over the world. Most of the organizations/departments around the world, advertise their vacant vacancies on the Internet. The search engines are also used to search the jobs on Internet. You can apply for the required job through Internet. Next, Today, most of the commercial organizations advertise their product through Internet. It is very cheap and efficient way for the advertising of products. The products can be presented with attractive and beautiful way to the people around the world.


Jacky:
The foremost target of internet has always been the communication. And internet has excelled beyond the expectations .By the advent of computer’s Internet, our earth has reduced and has attained the form of a global village. Now we can communicate in a fraction of second with a person who is sitting in the other part of the world. Today for better communication, we can avail the facilities of e-mail; we can chat for hours with our loved ones. There are plenty messenger services in offering. With help of such services, it has become very easy to establish a kind of global friendship where you can share your thoughts, can explore other cultures of different ethnicity. Other than that, Many services are now provided on the internet such as online banking, job seeking, purchasing tickets for your favorite movies, guidance services on array of topics engulfing the every aspect of life, and hotel reservations. Often these services are not available off-line and can cost you more.


Wilson Phua:
However, like every single innovation in science and technology, internet has its own disadvantages. Children using the Internet has become a big concern. Most parents do not realise the dangers involved when their children log onto the Internet. One of the disadvantages is viruses threat. Today, Internet is the most popular source of spreading viruses. Most of the viruses transfer from one computer to another through e-mail or when information is downloaded on the Internet. These viruses create different problems in your computer. For example, they can affect the performance of your computer and damage valuable
data and software stored in your computer. A lot of time is wasted to collect the information on the Internet. Some people waste a lot of time in chatting or to play games. At home and offices, most of the people use Internet without any positive purpose.


Kong Teck:
Besides that, Spamming refers to sending unwanted e-mails in bulk, which provide no purpose and needlessly obstruct the entire system. Such illegal activities can be very frustrating for you, and so instead of just ignoring it, you should make an effort to try and stop these activities so that using the Internet can become that much safer. Security problem is also one of the disadvantages of the internet. For example, the valuable websites can be damaged by hackers and your valuable data may be deleted. Similarly, confidential data may be accessed by unauthorized persons. Pornography is perhaps the biggest threat related to children’s healthy mental life. There are thousands of pornographic sites on the Internet that can be easily found and can be a detrimental factor to letting children use the Internet.


Thank you.




(Please ignore this. It is for my group's oral presentation.)

Do you know how sad it is to sit for the Mid Year Exam when Assassin's Creed II is released during that time? It was such a good news for me that Assassin's Creed II will be released on the PC as most of the decent games are only released on the 360 or PS3. And for goodness sake, we can't pirate those games.





Assassin's Creed II has a great graphic and a bloody awesome gameplay. Anyway, Bad Company 2 and Super Street Fighter 4 will also be released around that time.

Borderlands: The Secret Armory of General Knox

The next Borderlands DLC title is The Secret Armory of General Knox. Gearbox explains “brutal, never-before-seen enemies in a huge new environment complete with tons of brand new missions, entirely new weapons and items.” It is like they release new Borderlands DLC every month. They should have compiled all the DLC and produce a stand alone title, maybe Borderlands 2. Anyway, it is also a good thing as it keeps us playing the game without getting bored of it. Like the previous Zombie Island of Dr Ned and Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot. Personally, I prefer Underdome Riot.





Internet has ruined my whole life.

Despite the good entertainment and the open world, you tend to realise that the internet has more disadvantages to its advantages. And I'm going to talk about this on Friday. About how the internet has screwed my life and so on.


If for some reason, your neighbour or your brother is playing very loud music and you can't stand it, get a microphone and start detecting the frequency of the sound wave produced by the amplifier or whatever it is. Convert the frequency detected into electromagnetic wave and start producing a sound wave of the same frequency. Antiphase will occur and the sound will be wiped out automatically.

Little Big Planet




PS3 is like the tenth wonder of the world, apart from the internet. Without PS3, there is no live. Well, today is Nicholas' birthday and we had a party at his house. It was fun with all the good food, Soul Calibur 4, GTA 4, Zombieland and moar. We're all like so freaking excited about it since last week, and I can't figure out why.





I went to Boulevard IT to buy a Logitech Dual Analogue Controller for PC and I thought it could be used on the PS3. All the reviews in the internet saying that Logitech controllers are compatible with the PS3 are scam. Don't trust the internet. Because it has ruined my life. Anyway, talking about that controller, it is just so awesome to play Street Fighter 4 and Devil May Cry 4 with it. I'm bored of using the old traditional keyboard and its time for me to move on with a cheap PC controller. I am too cheapskate to buy an Xbox 360 Controller for Windows. Screw my money.





Went to Nicholas' house at 2 and had a heavy lunch. Later, I played 3 rounds of Soul Calibur 4 with Nelson and Hafreez. First, I could really play that game but after few rounds of spamming and attacking, my hands got really tired controlling the game. I am not used to playing a game with a controller. And I actually lost to Hafreez. Next, GTA 4 is epic. Commiting suicide gameplay is fantastic, especially when we get to make a character jumps off the helicopter. Nicholas should get Nvidia.


Happy birthday Nicholas.

Uncharted 2 is not about zombies




Nicholas is planning to buy a new PS3 game, and Lau recommended him to buy Uncharted 2. Before this, I thought Uncharted 2 is like any other games but I was wrong. The texture graphics are so detailed and the game is only released on the PS3. The gameplay is just so advanced.


I want a new controller. Hah.

When you get a retail copy of Mass Effect 2 from the Infamous Captain Jack Sparrow

If for some reason you can't afford an original copy of Mass Effect 2, or lets say you can't wait until the 29th of January to get your game, then there's a good news for you. Captain Jack Sparrow has released a full ripped Mass Effect 2 for you. The game file itself is 18GB. Basically, its one of the largest gamefiles besides Grand Theft Auto IV (15GB) and Modern Warfare 2 (12GB).


But I hope you won't download it. Please support Bioware as they produce good games.

Kopi Sejuk

Going to school on a Saturday morning is phail. Everyone does not have the urge to study, as well as doing all sorts of unnecessary assignments. They should declare a holiday for us during the Chinese New Year, and not asking us to replace school on a Saturday.


Went to Sarjan Warisan with Nicholas and Chung Yu just now. We ordered drinks and coffee, and I told the waitress I wanted a "kopi sejuk". Then, Nicholas go jio me saying that I don't know how to order drinks as I was supposed to say "kopi peng" instead of "kopi sejuk", and it only matters if you know what I mean. But, he paid for all the drinks. Before that, he only had RM5 but all the drinks costed us RM5.20. Luckily, Chung Yu brought some coins. If not, we had to skip the tuition and wait for some random generous milf to spare us 20 cent.

Devil May Cry 4 is Bloody Awesome

Well, today, I tripped over the stairs in front of a girl. That was so embarrassing. I guess I blushed and that girl was like starring at me as if I was being all stupid and retarded. I scratched my hand too. Sometimes, when we try our best to get a girl, the final result is always nothing. It is like drawing a tangent to a graph to find the reaction rate, when its impossible for you to draw a line exactly at one given point, and you end up constructing a line along your curve. You know how annoying is that?





This is a story about myself. He's in love with a girl for more than five years by now. The girl left him a few years ago and since that day onwards, he became more obsessed with that girl, what a pity. He wrote poems about her and he tried his best to recall all his sweet memories with her. But as said, the final result is nothing.





I love a girl for more than two days and her uncle thought I was trying to molest her. Well, I guess I tried my best to attract her attention but everything goes wrongly. Maybe its not my luck, maybe its just a forced lust. I think the best thing I could do is to delete her from Assassin's Creed.





Talking about Assassin's Creed, I am so glad that my PC can support its maximum resolution, under a medium texture quality. Same goes to Fallout 3 and Devil May Cry 4. However, the sad thing is when I set my Mass Effect to a very high resolution, the game becomes lagging and it starts giving me a motion sickness.


I just realised that Modern Warfare 2 has a third person viewer. But it can only be unlocked in the Multiplayer mode. Mass Effect 2 will be out very soon, exactly 10 days from now.

Modded Xbox 360

I regretted spending RM700 on my Express Music. I should have saved it for a modded Xbox 360. Anyway, Mass Effect 2 is coming and I'm pretty excited about it. Right now, I'm addicted to Mass Effect and Street Fighter 4. Surprisingly, I don't get bored playing these few games over and over again.


I had a blotted stomach last night and I couldn't get rid of it. I guess I did not sleep for more than two hours last night, the weather was so freaking cold and I kept fantasizing about her. Then, I got a stomach ache this morning and everyone thought I was suffering from a gastric. My dad told me it was just a normal abdominal pain. Luckily, it is gone now.


I am getting either Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age Origins or Ninja Blade by the end of January. Most probably I will buy Dragon Age Origins. If you're going to buy Mass Effect 2 or Ninja Blade, then trade the game with mine. Thanks.

PS3 Controller

Went to Chemistry tuition with Nicholas and Chung Yu. I missed the class yesterday but surprisingly, I was able to catch up with everything. The teacher taught us quite fast but his teaching skills are really good. I wonder why there are so many differences between school teachers and tuition teachers. I like the way he explains some of the concepts in Chemistry.


So, after the Chemistry tuition, Chung Yu and I followed Nicholas to his house before heading to the Physics tuition. I played Ninja Gaiden and Grand Theft Auto 4 on Nicholas' PS3. It was really fun as that was my first time holding a PS3 controller in my life. My parents never allow me to buy a playstation and thats why I'm uncivilized. Ninja Gaiden has amazing gameplays. The game is similar to Devil May Cry 4 and the new released Ninja Blade. However, I don't really understand GTA4. It is like Prototype and The Sims 3.


Without damping, I can actually swing a baby cradle and it will continue to oscillate although I leave it.

I finally gave up after eleven years

I thought attending tuition classes does not serve any useful purpose. But I was wrong indeed. After eleven years of studying by myself, I finally gave up. I could not depend on the school teachers as most of them do not really teach what we have to learn, and that is basically one of the reasons why people nowadays tend to go for tuition classes. If school teachers can teach properly, why bother going for tuition classes?


Well, I have registered at Smart and Oxford Tuition Centers. I only take Physics and Chemistry classes as I believe I can catch up with my Additional Mathematics. I went for the Physics tuition just now and that was apparently my very first time attending tuition. Went there and I saw my old schoolmates. The teacher is really good. I like the way he teaches us as I can really pay attention to him. And he tries his best to explain what we couldn't understand. I seriously hope I can get good results in my Physics and Chemistry.

Borderlands Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot

Borderlands Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot is released on PC and PS3 today, the 8th of January 2010. The publisher claims that it is an entirely new game mode. I've stopped playing Borderlands like a few weeks ago and I'm halfway through the Zombie Island of Dr Ned, and now Underdome Riot is out. Damn. I can't finish the game. But I'm very sure that I'll get this game somewhere in the middle of next month, or even next week if this DLC is cracked earlier.














Hadouken

I was so lucky that I came across this Street Fighter 4 Comprehensive Gameplay guide at some forum. Hadouken is like one of the most entertaining skills in Street Fighter apart from the syoryuken dragon's fists. I'm going to focus on one character and train it like doing Add Maths homework, practice makes perfect. I can't wait for SSF4.


By the way, Hadouken is a special attack which is used by Ryu, Ken, Dan, Akuma, Sakura and Gouken. I also prefer the Soul Spark skill by Rose.

Dragon Age Origins

After all those good reviews about this game, I wanted to play it so much. Nowadays, I can hardly download games as it takes a lot of bandwidth. And I'm not willing to spend my money just to buy a game which I don't play after completing all the single player missions. I don't have the urge to repeat the same game after playing it for like months.


Form 5 is getting tougher. It is just the fourth day of schooling and there are so many topics for me to catch up. But I'm sure I can do it.

If we could chill and talk the whole time in class

If we could chill and talk the whole time in class, it would be nice. Its only possible if the teachers are not around, but its like once in a blue moon. So, forget about it. Lately, I've seen that a lot of students are skipping classes for the Form 1 Orientation project. Why would they want to make this orientation so grand? I am really glad that I'm not involved in it.


I have finally learnt how to charge in Street Fighter 4. I love the Hadouken skills in every character but it is quite difficult for me to master some of the skills especially when I have to use the Ultra Combos. Anyway, I thought most people prefer to play Tekken 6 and Soul Calibur. But SF4 is still a good game.

The Triangle of Love

I had to sit with Nicholas at the back of the class as I came to school quite late. Most of the good seats have been taken by the girls, as expected. Well, at least I didn't complain too much about it. All the subject teachers remain the same. Nothing much has changed for the last two months. Everything is back to normal. I thought the first day of school would suck, but it didn't.

Add Maths and Physics

I need to attend Add Maths and Physics tuition classes starting from this week onwards. I've made my decisions and I'll only go for these tuition classes on weekends. I've seen a lot of students going for tuition but they couldn't produce such good results like Darren and Emileen. Most probably these people, including myself, are not being studious. Well, most of us could not pay attention in classes because some of the teachers never bother to get our attention. They work cause they get paid by the government, they are not like those teachers in the olden days. Way too bad.


And that is why I have to delete my Need For Speed Shift. My computer is running out of disk space. Seriously, I used too many spaces for backup files and games. In less than three months, I've used more than 200GB of my disc space. I think I should buy an external hard drive to store all my games collections, photos and movies.

Most Gorgeous Doll on Earth







She is definitely hot. Her legs are beautiful and she has nice shoes. Are you in love with her at your first sight? Then I've to admit that you're a gay. Most of the viewers have been fooled by this and apparently, I was one of them. At first glance, I thought she's a Japanese model who tries to attract people and get their attention. I was so wrong indeed. She is not a she. She is a male.

United State of Pop





2012 is getting nearer

Today is like any other normal day, it is no longer a school holiday. Lets consider tomorrow and Sunday as normal weekends. We have to accept the fact that the school holiday is over and we'll all be going back to school on Monday. Well, it is new year and its freaking SPM year ma de shiat. I hope I can get better results because I want to avoid tution classes.


I managed to unlock the New Haven map after defeating Mad Mel in Borderlands. Seriously, I did not play that game for like a month because I hate those bugs in Dahl Headlands especially those annoying scythids. They like to jump on your head and make that annoying sound which is very very inconvenient. I thought I would not give up on Borderlands, however, after looking at the New Haven map, I decided to give up. The map is so large and I'm sick of playing all those quests in it, I'm halfway through the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned and I'm also doing some missions in Devil May Cry 4. Besides that, I'm practicing some moves in SF4. After the holiday, I won't be able to play games that frequent, I know.
