Benefits of Social Networking

One in every nine people on Earth is on Facebook. This number is calculated by dividing the planets 6.94 billion people by Facebook’s 750 million users. People spend 700 billion minutes per month on Facebook, where each Facebook user spends on average 15 hours and 33 minutes a month on the site. According to an intellectual observation and calculations made by Jeff Bullas, if Facebook were a country it would be the world's third largest country after China and India and two times the size of the U.S. population. Social networking is still the fastest-growing active social media behaviour online, increasing from 36% of global Internet users to 59% managing their profile on a monthly basis by the end of 2011. There are now over 2.8 billion social media profiles, representing around half of all internet users worldwide. To date, social networking has indeed brought a change for the betterment of mankind, through its diverse benefits such as stay connected with friends and family, keep update to the latest information and as a marketing tool.

Social networking helps people to stay connected with each other. Social networking can be considered as the easiest way to communicate with friends or even old friends. Besides, you can also get in touch with the person who lives far away from you or even the close one’s around us. For example, Stanley lives in Malaysia and he wants to contact his friend who lives in Australia, at this time, they will chat together through social networking websites like Facebook. In addition, social networking websites allow them to play games and video call. Thus, meeting each other without taking distance in mind has just been made easier through these social networking sites.

                Furthermore, people are able to keep updated with the latest news just in a flash. Nowadays, technology is getting more advance, the internet connection is easily accessible without any obstacles. People now days have access to the internet by just tapping on their portable devices such as smartphones, tablets and so on. Some social networking websites constantly update the information or the news which posted regularly by the users, which can enlighten the readers. For example students who are studying in colleges or universities, social networking websites is an important part in their studying routines. This is because the most recent announcements from the colleges or universities are posted on these websites. Therefore, students are able to know the events or activities that going to happen in the campus by using these social networking websites.

                Additionally, social networking can also be an effective marketing tool. The reason is social networking allows users to post everything to the websites. Somehow, the site can be accessed by anyone and can be seen by the public. For instance, if a company is promoting its newly launched products, the marketing department will than come into the picture helping the company to advertise the products on these social networking websites, attracting customers from all over the globe. Therefore, advertising on social networks could be a profitable solution for businesses in the world today.

                To sum it up, stay connected with friends and family, keep update to the latest information and as a marketing tool in social networking are helpful to the users. People are encouraged to use social networking method to enhance the relationship between friends and family. Besides, social networking helps to increase the profit in a company and understanding the world’s news.

The Place We Call Home

Throughout my good eighteen years of living on Earth, I have never been close to Mother Nature, unlike the environmental zealots who would relentlessly fight for the betterment of our environment, nor am I considered a voracious-minded industrialist who would crudely harm nature without any remorse just to lay their hands on what they wanted. Where do I fit in then? I am one who you would call an ignorant inhabitant. I love buying new things to embellish my room, yet I don't recycle. I love being in an air-conditioned room especially when the temperature is unbearable, yet I don't use one emitting HCFCs. In short, I don't care what happens to the environment, as long as I am living comfortably in the moment, because I know the people out there doing all that they can to conserve the environment was more than enough. However, this opinion of mine was changed when Mother Nature reached out to me. What I've said may seem dubious and ridiculous, but it's true.

It all happened during my vacation in the Carribeans. It was the perfect get-away for a city girl like me, who has been living her whole life in a concrete jungle. As I lay down by the seashore, sipping my marmalade Mother made, I closed my eyes, and let my senses reign supreme. I loved listening to the sound of the ocean waves beating harmoniously against the white sands. Casuarina trees rustled in unisons as the fresh breeze blew through. Under my Ray-ban shades, I could feel the rays of the beaming sun shining down on me, supplying me with sufficient Vitamin D and of course, a natural tan. The warmth that I am feeling now is something no one can ever understand- like a quilt blanket being wrapped around a freezing child in winter; cozy and comforting. I soon began to drift away with my vicarious imagination when suddenly, I heard a distant voice calling out my name.

"Dear child, dear child, come to me", it said.

"Who is it?", I asked, with a dreamy voice.

"I am the place you live, the place you breathe; I am your Mother".

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't high on drugs or alcohol. Deep down I knew that I was to shout for help and not go to the voice, but my instincts overpowered my rationality. As if I knew that the voice could understand me, I gave a slight nod as a silent consent with my eyes still closed. It felt as if I was floating in the air. I let that feeling swarmed through me because it was such a nice surge of emotion. The voice grew louder and louder, and it said,

Dear Child, let me tell you a story,

From which you will learn about my history,

These are my heartfelt words to you,

And I hope my message gets through,

From way back I remember being pure

My attributes, mankind adore

Animals lived in times of old

Man was rich with crops not gold

From my body they learned to survive

Hardly any sickness, they were strong and alive

My ozone layer, they loved oh so much

My fossil fuels, left untouched.

I blessed them with summer sun

And what happiness I have brought on each one

Sunset at dawn of every day

Just watching it melts their stress everyday

At night, moon and stars shine so bright

And darkness bears no fright

My mountains grew up high

As though they were reaching for the sky

In autumn wind, blossoms fell

On the roasted-like leaves, man began to dwell

As a fond mother, I fawned over my children

And this may be why today I am barren

I was confused with Mother Nature's grief. I replied her messages with a stanza:

Dear Mother Nature, that's where you lost me

Man has done so much, why do you still plea?

From a barren earth we embellished you nicely

With skyscrapers and monuments juxtaposed promisingly

Your environmental troops have defended you with findings

With HCFCs and unleaded petrol to protect your lining

They fought and demonstrated to protect your sanctity,

Which I see is progressing finely

This is why I don't understand you

As to why you do the things you do

At times you are humble then moody the next

Is it because Babylon corrupted you and made you vex?

You cry with so much anger, not forgetting rage

I guess we haven't learn anything about you, all this time and age

Maybe I am wrong, but your reasons I yearn

Please Mother Nature, tell me so I'll learn

She replied,

As grateful as I am to my environmental troops

To what extend will it do when the ones who care are only a few?

The crass industrialists, they can't defeat

As they crudely explored me like a treat

Plutos sons multiplied on Earth

Maximizing my potentials to their worth

These Babylonians have shown me no respect

Their science and knowledge they wanted to eject

Into my system, corrupting me so

I was hurting so much, they don't even know

The rain you see, it is me crying

To moisten my body, preventing me dying.

When the wind gets so strong it's because I can't bear

As a form of anger I declare

The Babylonians remodeled me boldly

So through earthquakes I reshaped my body

The volcanoes I erupted to purify the land

But man destroyed it with sinful plans

I sent hurricanes not to cause anguish or pain

Yet as a reminder of how strong I reign

So now that I am being austere

My Child, I hope I have made it clear

I am your Mother, not your enemy

So please preserve my natural beauty

It soon dawned on me that my actions, together with irresponsible human beings living on the kindness and mercy on Mother Nature were hurting her. We were unable to resist the lure of our lifestyles, the attraction of our conveniences. All this while, I had been bloated with pride at our successful attempts in overcoming nature's disasters, and was utterly smitten with the idea that nature could rarely infringe on our desires to move whimsically about the world. I was oblivious to the fact that the resources in this world is not unlimited. I regretted my previous actions for perilously ignoring the deep connections among our lifestyles to the environment. For now, I've received her message, and I will chip as much effort as I can to help protect the place where we all call home.

Creativity Is Needed More Than Ever In Our Society

     First SAT Essay :)

     A stroke of the paint brush, a graceful step taken by dancers, or a speech so fluent that it awed the crowd; these activities require one common thing- creativity of an individual. Creativity is defined as the tendency to generate or recognize ideas, alternatives, or possibilities that may be useful in solving problems.Edward de Bono, a Maltese physician once said, there is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns. It is deemed as a necessity in today's world more than ever. This unanimous notion is exemplified in various major historical events.

      One of the irrefutable reasons of why ingenuity is essential today can be explained through the historical episode where Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer who sailed for King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabella of Spain, found 'The New World'. In pursuit for a shorter route to India, he uncovered a land by sheer serendipity where no other European has ever come across. Being a prudent man himself, he decided to explore the wealth that the land can bring to him. In today's world, we require this unprecedented thinking as many discoveries that have yet to be unearthed can be conducted by man. For example, space exploration. Galileo and other astronomers of his epoch have discovered the planets and the position of the sun and Earth even with limited technologies in times of yore. Sadly, we are still progressing at a snail's pace and not maximizing the potential of our savvy machines to explore space. What if, there is something significant out there waiting for us? Lamentably, we might never know if we do not start oiling our creativity to explore the vast and enigmatic universe. We outrageously live on Gaia as though the water, the land, and the air would perpetually support our fetish for luxury. The resources on Earth will soon deplete, and one day the Sun may just disappear. We have to think ahead and look for alternatives before it's too late. 

     The rise of the  Italian Renaissance in the 14th century distinctly justifies why we need creativity in society now. As a cultural movement, it saw revolutions in many intellectual pursuits, as well as social and political upheaval besides being best known for its artistic developments. Society was encouraged to discover their innate talent through creativity. Various artists like Da Vinci, Michael Angelo and artistic cities like Florence and Milan were formed. As a result, the period of intellectual darkness, or better known as the Dark Ages was overcame with the 'light of Rome'. Let's consider the Great Recession that we are going through in the present. This burden has been on our shoulders for four years, yet even the greatest economist is unable to help us weave our way out of this crisis. Economic downfall and unemployment are taking a toll on mankind. The only way to disentangle ourselves from this quandary is by manipulating  our resources using an adept way creatively. In fact, we might even generate a stratagem  so unconventional that would prevent any recessions from befalling on mankind again.

     Every age has its dissonant voices. And certainly, this fate will befall our time if we don't start using our creativity right now to elucidate the glitches happening in our daily lives. So why aren't we all awakening from our dreamy isolation? Let's not let our own distant progeny live in the worst aftermath of our inconsiderate actions. To quote Confucius, a Chinese philosopher and religious leader, 'A man who does not plan long ahead will find trouble at his door'.

Man is believed to be the main cause of environment deterioration

Huge droplets of sweat trickled down his forehead profusely. Although naked, he was fanning himself with a bamboo hand-fan as fast as he could as he sat on his chair in the verandah. He glanced towards his right, where the green grass used to be, where trees were healthy and productive, where he and his father used to work on the earth together- it is all gone now. What is left of it is only a dry and barren land full of soil. His heart sank as he reminisce upon the past when Mother Nature was still a pleasant environment to live in. Well, this man is not alone. To date, there are many issues pertaining the environment that causes detrimental effects to mankind. Some parties believe that man is the main cause of environment deterioration. I agree with this statement purely because human activities like industrialization, agriculture and advancement in science and technology instigates many harmful effects to the environment.

Although critics believe that global warming is caused by Mother Nature herself, there are many reasons why mankind can be blamed for global warming. United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) reported that only two percent of the temperature increase per decade is caused by nature's cycle, but ninety-eight percent is fostered by the many activities of man. Carbon dioxide, or better known as CO2, is mainly the contributor to this issue. It is emitted during the combustion of fossil fuels especially in industrial sites. Deforestation as an act for 'cleaning up more spaces' for agriculture not only reduces the amount of trees that uses up CO2 for respiration, but the combustion of the whole forest produces by-products like soot and carbon dioxide. Besides, a study from NASA showed that products of the digestive system from grazing animals (as an effect of deforestation) emits a high amount of methane gas, a very potent greenhouse gas that is believed to trap twenty times more heat compared to carbon dioxide. In short, the selfish greed of humans in order to accumulate more wealth through industrialization and deforestation have certainly heightened the amount of heat-trapping gases in the air.

Some parties believe that eutrophication is caused by nature, itself for the sunlight that penetrates directly into the lakes induces more aquatic species to reproduce on the water's surface, yet this is not the case as eutrophication is mainly associated to agriculture. One is aware that agriculture is an activity that uses intensive amount of fertilizers and pesticides in order to increase crop yield. However, its detrimental effects can be seen when the traces of these chemicals run into the soil and eventually flow into freshwater lakes. Aquatic plants and species are unable to live in a poisoned environment. Hence, these little forms of life slowly dies, depleting the amount of freshwater species while increasing the rate of decomposition in the lake. As a result, decreased amount of oxygen and increased turbidity in the lake occurs.

Critics asserts that as Earth gets older, the layer of atmosphere will too get thinner, however, a study from University of Birmingham proved that the depletion of ozone layer is caused by humans. Today, technologies like refrigerator and air-conditioning system are considered as a 'need' instead of a 'desire' in every household. These advanced cooling equipments emits a gas called chloroflurocarbon (CFC). CFCs are potentially harmful to the environment because it binds with O3 particles that make up the stratosphere, and would 'pull' them away from it. This leads to a hole in the Earth's stratosphere, and is hazardous towards the human health as UVB (Ultraviolet Body) radiation is able to pass through and penetrate the Earth, resulting in cancer like basus carcinomas, a malignant skin cancer, and also cortical cataract. Ironically, mankind's desire to live a 'better life' has put the Earth and also themselves in various health complications.

To sum up, environment deterioration is definitely caused by human activities like industrialization, agriculture, and advancement in technologies. One must be aware to always care and protect the environment because we have only one Earth to live in. Safety measures and steps like recycling, using unleaded petrol and using HCFCs emitting refrigerators can help us combat the many analogous brick walls that hides the treacherous side of the effects of environmental hazards. To quote Mahatma Gandhi, 'You must be the change you wish to see in the world.' I am sure that none of us here would like to live our lives in future constantly in apprehension, for the air that we breathe in is polluted, the water that we drink is contaminated, and the sun that shines on us are actually cancerous rays. Every party must work hand in hand to save the earth. A little effort goes a long way.

The Journey Is Now Envisioned.

This would be a short summary of probably one of the three most influencing days in my good eighteen years of living on Earth. As cliche as it sounds, this "reflecting on oneself" programme has truly made me realise three things clearly - What I want. What I need. What is important to me. From the talks by Duke, University of Pennsylvania, Stanford, MIT, Cambridge, Michigan, Warwick, and London School of Economics would be & graduated scholars, its has been a privilege to actually talk and ask them about their experiences- SATs, TOEFL, AP, application essays and all the toils, tears and blood for the sweetest thing in return, which is the admission to Ivy Leagues/ Top universities. One of the common characteristic shared by all the scholars was of course, well, their hard work. Hard work might be a little bit underrated here, for they really studied their asses off for it. It makes me wonder really on how much effort I am actually putting in now for my studies. That's of course, one of the realization that dawned upon me. Triple majors, double degree, intern ship in three different continents before coming back,  it was like a W-O-W thing for me. Never did I thought that I would meet these cool geeky people in my circles - and the fact that I would probably be colleagues with them in the next few years in the bank thrills me! :D I seriously feel so grateful that I chose the bank instead, because I am able to see how much support they give us scholars, and the people who makes the bank running who are charismatic, responsible, intelligent, confident really do make an effort to make us one of them in future. It is true what the psychologist said - The physical appearance of the building itself would give one a "run-down" image of the bank- but when you take a look in who are the people inside- you. will. be. amazed. (Did I mention that he's extremely good looking too? :P) 

"What do you daydream about"

"What is important to you?"

"Who do you want to be?"

Three of these questions that were imposted did make a difference. I began to see the light of the importance of each of them- and what it really means to me (I really hate psychology sessions in a group- its kinda like stripping you naked in front of your peers who you barely know). Everyone who knows me for three days would be able to answer the first question for me - My boyfriend Yee Kang Yung. Scholar or not, geeky or not, kiasu or not, yes I admit that I am super duper in love with this boy of mine :) I do dream big, and dream ahead. When asked what do I daydream about, I was at first doubting myself whether or not to be truthful, for it was the mentality of not wanting to 'get those stares' from the scholars. But it was Azhari that made me realize one thing- I am actually judging who am I within. I should not have had second thoughts about letting it out. Yes, superficially I may say I am proud, but am I really feeling so? After thinking it through, I got it- I am not like any other eighteen year old girls who are lovesick and just living the moment in the fervor of love. No, I am sure that I want to spend my life with this guy, just like how I am sure about things that I want to do in my life. That's how much he means to me. And for what is actually important to me- I already have the answer the moment the question was potrayed. I am what's important to myself. I am no saint who puts other people first in my life. Selfishly, every time there's a situation that I am going through- I would put myself into account first. Well, we only live once- so I am not going to let any chances slip by that makes me regret it for the rest of my life. And by putting myself first and able to succeed in things I do, I am able to make the people around me happy. My mom, my dad, Jo and bii :) I would share success, but I would not let anyone else take away the chance that I too equally have a shot at it. That's who I really am I suppose. For the third question it's a very interesting one- we did it with Oompa-Loompa (He looks funny hahaha.). We were asked to dream big like we are living it in the present- and of course one that could be realized. My answer presented was:

I am Vivian. I am a well known mathematician that has won two Nobel prizes by the year 2024. I am holding three degrees, two masters, and a PhD. I am happily married to Christopher Yee and working with Bank Negara as an Assistant Gabenor. I own a few houses, managed to buy my father two sports car, brought my mom to Switzerland and had tonnes of adventure with my baby sister, Jo. On top of that, I am a prolific writer and published several books on crime thrillers.

Totally living in the dream :P

Rantings of Myself

Only God knows how long since the last I made a post on this blog on mine. So yeah, as the writer's blood suddenly rushed through me, I decided to post something here, where I can express my thoughts and emotions freely. Straying far away from home, giving up most of life's pleasure- sleep, fun, love, eating and also family, here I am, as a greenhorn conquistador to the path of success and well of course, as a scholar. Being a scholar is seriously no play, the stress to do well, to be the best among your peers (scholarmates), and to always be on decorum is what I find the hardest. It's a drastic change for myself, and I know, being a full-boarding school student for five years this shouldn't happen to me, but oh well, I am so not the girl next door having this top notch propriety nor being a total nerd. This is so not me. I wanted to have fun, but I'm not. Staying here feels so dull and mundane. My every day schedule, repeating for weeks, everything is the same. Nothing changes. No excitement nor friends who you can really laugh with. No space for me to do things that I really like. Somehow being out of UTP will remain a regret in bliss for the rest of my life, I guess.    Even with these rantings, I must admit something - I miss those who made my four months of stay there joyful. Yong, I miss the quarrels I have with you, the times we could study together, and also where you keep being a grandma advising me this and that especially on issues pertaining my health. The times where you would actually come all the way to bring me go to the clinic in the middle of the night. Implicitly, without me realizing, you have become my best friend. Xue Er, I enjoyed every single moment I spent with you, and the little talks or the teasing was usually what that makes my day. Coco, you are the girl, lol. I'm still confunded by how you are able to live through few months without dinner, and your helpfulness and innocence really makes me feel comfortable. Not forgetting Kevin, Patrick, Lai, Jason, Low, JP, Jun, Darren and my roomie- Yana. Though the amount of time spent with you people is not much, but then, I really had memorable times that I can always recount and smile anytime of the day with you. :) To the one whom I am sure will be reading this particular post intently, Christopher Yee Kang Yung, I am so not used to being far away from you. Long-distance is taking a toll on my emotions, and I hate it. I know, you are always trying to clear your weekend and to come back for us to be together, but it's just not the same. No more Wednesday KFC dinner with you. No more every day dinner and weekend laptop-movies together. No more running and fooling around tickling each other in the end instead of sweating. It just feels empty. E-M-P-T-Y. Missing the night walks we have together although at times we mostly don't say anything to each other. Not having you around is worse, and what's worst is that I remind myself everyday that by this time next year, I am going to have to bid farewell to you for four years. I do not know why am I that emotional at this moment but the ambivalent I am feeling is why I decided to write. Writing really do improve my mood. The form of letting it all out in forms of words are always what appeals to me, other than tearing. Sigh. I miss home, and I really want to go home. That is of course, impossible for my classes ends late on Fridays, and it will be a hassle for me to get to the bus station, plus the probability of not getting a ticket home is high. Life's a bitch, I get it now. Looking on the bright side of the university now, I am grateful that the lecturers that I am getting (especially my Calculus) is really good and I find that I am most productive when put in a classroom-like environment. Focus is evidently higher and maybe due to the fact that everyone else knows that I am a scholar, I am constantly pushing myself to the limit to excel and not lose to those who are not sponsored by any bodies. I am not trying to be complacent right now, but it's true. I am not the kind of person to just 'brush my dignity' off whenever I lost to someone academically. I feel like I'm in a pressure cooker, ready to explode anytime with tears. I am trying to stay optimistic each freaking day, and I am trying my best. Really wish everything just falls right into place this time so that I am not going to have any more regrets. Life is short. I really do not want to miss out the fun due to my lofty ambition of going overseas.

Pher, How True Is This?

Why Guys Loves 'Em Girls :

1. The way they always smell good even if it's just shampoo.
2. The way they always find the right spot on our shoulder.
3. How cute they look when they sleep.
4. The ease in which they fit into our arms.
5. The way they kiss you and make everything alright in the world.
6. How cute they are when they eat.
7. The way they take hours to get dressed but in the end its all worth while.
8. The way they are always warm even if its minus 30 degrees.
9. The way they look good no matter what they wear.
10. The way she fishes for compliments even though you both know she's the most beautiful thing on this earth.
11. How cute they are when they argue.
12. How their hand always seems to find ours.
13. The way they smile.
14. The way you feel when you see her name on the caller id after you've had a big fight.
15. The way she says "Lets not fight anymore" even though you know an hour later.
16. The way they kiss you when youve done something nice for her.
17. The way they kiss you when you say "I love you".
18. Actually.. just the way they kiss you.
19. The way they fall into your arms when they cry.
20. Then apologizing for crying over something that silly.
21. The way they hit you and expect it to hurt.
22. Then the way they apologize when it really does hurt. (even though we don't admit it!)
23. The way they say "I miss you".
24. The way you miss them.
25. The way their tears make you want to change the world so that it doesn't hurt her anymore. Yet regardless whether you love them, hate them, wish they would die or know that you would die without them, it matters not. Because once in your life whatever they were to the world they become the world to you. When you look them in the eyes traveling to the depths of their souls and you say a million things without a trace of sound you know that your own life is inevitably consumed with the rhythmic beatings of her very own heart. We love them for a million reasons, no paper would do it justice. It is a thing not of a mind, but of the heart. A feeling. Only felt.

Not a very good start

First time posting on my dont-know-what-number blog.. hope this one stays for long, haha! using mr.yee's lappy for it, because the internet in this kampung university seems like it crashed, like literally crashed till 99. so damn pissed by it; especially when you have to hand in your scholarship application in allllllll soft copies in a limited time... ( i didnt procrastinate fyi) so it was like shiieeeeet the process compared to the one i had to do during the UTP application -.- The BOY says im complaining too much on my first post cus he's beside me peeping <3 but who cares right -.- I'm Vivian and I'm complicated, deal with it :DD had a really busy time this week, ever since i got here my days are gradually getting busier and more packed compared to the one i had in science johore..seriously, though i dont have any structured timetable like the one i stuck to for five whole years, but this time, its really hard to manage your own time and own assignments, tutorials, bla bla bla...every single day i have to think what to eat, what to wear and what to do...maybe i really have not got used to the freedom-wise life here, but somehow, i miss structured life.. :/ dont get me wrong, i do love my new life and friends here, especially the APS gang and my room mate :D they always do make me laugh when i dont even intend to do so, and also care for me whenever i need them..not to forget the BOY sitting beside me <3 taking care of me, being patient, and showering me with his full <3 (: i love you bii...starting from next week, it would be the exam fever and fear boggling every one around me, i dont know whether i would be affected by their attitude, but whatever lah. dad says i can do it in my own way, and thats what i believe in :) i miss home, and especially jojo.. 38-ing thru the phone everyday sucks, i prefer it live :( just a few few more days and ill be back, 21st march, please come faster but not 22nd :P can the days just jump straight to 23rd? *CROSSING MY FINGERS :D
