Firstly : Basically it's just for points .. I really need the points to go to my dream school

Secondly : Council had allow me to make new friends .. I am not that sociable but council did introduce some friends to me.

Thirdly :  I just felt that everyone had high expectation for me , esp the teachers .. maybe it's because I got fourth in the entire cohort for EYE ?? I really dunno but they really have high expectation for me

Lastly : In council , everything seems to be in a big family .. + you get to know more teachers which is good ..

 

Sadly speaking , council in my school doesn't really excercise power. They are the organizers for Orientation camp , PTI and events ..

Nothing much on discipline .. :(

stellazio , then I shall be a bad person then. How to bring the name and power down , teach me some skills .. (:

 

Does school ambassdor have a bigger power over council ?

(Before reading , there are alot of grammatical errors and I am sorry about that , I am really too weak to re-read what I had typed because it makes me sad)

Hi ,

First , I would like to introduce myself first as this is my first time posting in Aunt Agony Forum. I'm a Sec 2 Council Elect , an express stream student and ya ..

This is my problem :

 I got kick out of the student council family recently due to : my discipline. I admit that I got into alot of trouble this year but you may ask , how could a naughty student like me get into the student council. First , I got no bad record found in my entire Sec 1 year but recently I got into some trouble.

1. Shouting at teacher because I'm too stress. (Due to a mark in the common test)

2. Got angry with my classmates easily and quarrel till we find the form teacher

 

I think I got an unfair 'kick' because

1. Most of my classmates which are in the council family causes lots more trouble than me

2. Shouldn't I be given any chance if I am willing to change ? Just because of THIS year , THESE few problems and I got kick out ??!!

3. During one the meeting , the council teacher said : "Some of you are not recommended by the teachers , but we gave you a chance" AND she said THIS after I got kick out.

 I cried in front of this council teacher when she told me personally that I was out of the family.Instead of comforting me , she asked if I am alright.            I have got  teachers  to support me though.

First , a teacher told me to write a letter of appeal to be a SCHOOL AMBASSDOR since she is a school ambassdor teacher .

Secondly , an acting subject head EL teacher , came and find me , on the day itself when I got kicked , and asked me what am I suppose to do .. She told me not to give up and patted on my shoulder :"You could do it , I believe in you" . and she told me to direct all my energy to other leadership skills She said that she , herself ,will make sure I be the CCA leader or ambassdor ..

Later I found out that she is a newly appointed school ambassdor teacher ..

Thirdly , a teacher also found out about this 'fired' matter .  And suggested that he , himself , will write a recommendation letter to the council head. But later , after some consideration , he said that it's impossible , they may not accept it.

So this is my plan :

I will write an email to the council teacher but my identity will remain annoymous. (Luckily , there are more than 1 council elect being kick out)

This is the email I plan to write :

Dear XXXXXX ,

 This is your ex-council elect here.I would like to remain annoymous and please treat this as a junk mail if you like to and as I don't really have the gut to see you face to face because I have really lost all my energy talking about council stuff since the day you fired me. This is just an email to inform you about my unhappiness about council and some suggestion , I hope you would not be angry after reading it . I would sincerely apologise to you if you are angry about it.

 First , I think there are alot of unfair 'kick' in the council elects . I would not mention names here , but there are some elects that are so bad till they got into more troubles than me and yet remain in the council. Miss XXX , I am not trying to gain your sympathy but I just want to tell you that , if you were to kick me out of the councill just because I have some discipline problem this year then you must be a person which don't really care about a person's feeling and past.

You did not even bother to find out what causes me to be that bad this year whereas my record is 'clean' last year. Though you don't really have to , but I will prove you wrong. Did you really spare a thought for your ex-elects ? You just chuck them aside just because of this word : DISCIPLINE .. Do you know how sad it is to be kick out ? Do you know the pain of it ? Seeing you reminds me of council , and that really affect me , in terms of school life and personal ability .

Do you think I can still lead a group in future ? I'm speechless , Miss XXX . Do you think all your councillors have the same purpose : To lead ? As an ex-council elect ,  I see my senior councilors quarreling over things ,   and WHO ARE the ones that can tell me that he/she is HAPPY TO BE IN THE COUNCIL !!!??? Instead , they felt like being an extra , just to listen to orders and carry out. Best example would be : PTI and Orientation Camp.

Why do they want to be in the council in the first place ? Fame ? CCA Points ? I don't know. But let me tell you this , I really have the intention to lead if not I would not really bother much to 'inform' you here.

Back to the topic , do you think all your elects are that good ? I think results in their academics should also be placed into consideration . Look at one of your 'Sec 3-2" councillors .. he got retain back last year , so do you think he can still lead and at the same time , neglecting his own results ?

Miss XXX , to be able to lead , you must be wise. Look at Mr Bush , do you think he can lead US if he is dumb ? Ms XXX , in my own opinion , you are more than destorying a person's future by letting a 'poor' academics student staying in your council family.

As an elect , do you think people are given a chance to lead ??? It's much more like hiring a student-maid. All of us got to listen orders from the in charge and execute THEIR plans ... How to lead in this manner ?

From rumour , to be accepted to council , you got to go through voting and the 'approval' of the excos .. Do you think if I am your enemy , you will vote for me ? Do you know that those popular ones will get accepted instantly just because they are popular for various reasons ..

Miss xxx , I strong urge you to review back all your fired elects 'profile' in half a year time or whatsoever , JUST LOOK through and see if they have any more bad records after being 'fired' by you. If there is , I don't have anymore excuses but if there isn't , miss xxx , you had made the worst desicion in your entire teacher's career.

your elect ,

XXXXXX

 

 

 

 

People , do you think it will work ? Or will it invite more trouble for me ? I need help !

Hi all ,

  I am Sec 2 Express this year and I'm new to this forum (:

         I am starting to hate maths ..maths is a burden to me and I can't really comprehend it , it simply sucks .. I can't really solve algebra .  I just can't memorise the formula ! Seriously , maths seems to kill me ..

My weakest subjects are :

Maths

English ..

 

Can anyone suggest any 'maths improvement' technique ?

 

Secondly , the #$@$@ of my EL teacher , he is dame baised ! He had had a group of girls and named them 'Charles Angels' , he always asked them , without fail , if they had got any question on the lesson and somemore an after-class remedial ..

But , indirectly , his teaching is good. No teacher had really taught me that English Essay is an ART .. You got to write something that seems to be something but in the end is not something.

E.g: Write about the BUS .. and your essay got to write about the bus and well , seems to write alot but in the end it's only about that particulary bus ..

He said that comprehension needs skill .. I know that it needs 'skills'  but what skill is needed then ?

I will go crazy soon ..

 

With friends competing against each other for results , it add in pressure for me .. it's a must to be in pure science , next year ... and now , it seems that I am worrying about O levels .. arrghhzzz

Again ,

 

I am really punk by Sony ..

Stamina Mode (Intel graphics) ... it was said that choosing stamina mode can enhance the battery life up to 6 hrs

Guess what ?

It reduce the screen resolution for that stamina mode ... what the .. (:

 

Price wise ... well , I am going to check Best denki today and maybe other stores and see how much is my SZ56 is worth .

 

http://www.sony.com.sg/microsite/vaio/products/vaio_sz/vgn_sz56gnb/index.html

The website state : $3199..

For those who went to the same webpage on 3/3-9/3 , you will see that there is a $400 cash rebate .. but no more liao..

So to "comfort" and "lie" to myself ... i should tell myself that I bought it at $700 discount + free m$ office + ram + mouse + case :P

 

What I feel like being "cheated" is that .. the salesmen (yes more than 2 said) said that this model is BRAND NEW .. came out on 6/3 ... And after some checking , I believe that this model came out ~3 mths ago ..

 

Well , if I were to used it on speed mode .. it can alst ~3hrs ..(:

It's worth buying though ...although you can buy a slightly better specs with $2499 from other brands ...

 

I know ..

SLIC Table

OEM Cert

Product Key ..

 

You sure ? Will spoil next year ar ? LOL ... But how long did you use your Sony laptop liao ? (It's okay if it's between 2-3 years though)

Could someone check when it came out for this notebook ..

The salesman said it's NEW , came out last thursday .

But if I am not wrong , it's 2007 ..

And btw , the price is slashed from $3199 to $2499 , worth it ? Since they said they don't have stock ... you belive anot ? I dout so ..

So it's worth it hor ???

Currently : Upgrading my system to Ultimate (:

 

And also .. what to do with my Office Home and Student ?

Should I use a pirated Enterprise or a genuine one ?

Some Qs :

If I were to do a full system wipeout and before that , my office (genuine) is installed on that hard disk .. and if I were to reinstall office again , will I use up one of my 3 "chances" ? (can activate up to 3 comps)

And for sony , I have the Recovery DVDs (burn myself) If I were to reinstall using that dvds , will my other sony programs be wipe out too ?

And lastly , can anyone spare me an Ultimate Sony OEM Product key ? (Optional , can find my own though)

Will sony comp spoil easily?? (: (:

 

 

Well thought that it's light  and battery can last till 6hrs ..

 

Hybrid HDD = Exp ?

Though it have a good graphic card , it's centrino and also a free Microsoft Retail Home and student office (:

Since the cons are :

The tablet is heavy

AMD Sucks

The Screen is blurr

 

I don't mind if it's heavy ... AMD Sucks as in the processor is HOT ? Well , I don't think I mind , cuz I normally used comp for 3-4 hrs only .. Screen is bluurr ? I went to the booth yesterday but it's slighty clearer than the pic in HWZ ..

 

Okay guys , let say I wanted to buy this notebook .. and I have a total of $2000 , No mre , no less

 

I am thinking of adding RAM up to 4GB ..

But since the screen is bluurr ..

Will adding a graphic card help ?

What will you buy , ram or internal parts , with $300 ???

 

Nid help now as I am buying it soon ... later

DIMM means the number of stick of RAM installed on ur laptop.If lets say the retailer put "2GB RAM (2 DIMM)" It means that the 2GB RAM is from 2 sticks which also means that its 2x1GB RAM stick.Always aim for higher capacity RAM on a single stick since the spare slot can be used for upgrading the RAM.

 

Also,its more economical since most OEM mobo only have 2 ram slot,which means that if u have 1GB RAM,u need to bin the 2x512mb stick for 2x1GB stick,hence wasting money.

 

For AMD,its performance is inferior compared to Intel.Dont ask me why,it's just is.

Like Chery for example(no offense)

 

RAM will increase performance BUT will not decrease the load of the processor in certain task.Processor-reliant task such as video encoding will only improve slightly with more RAM since it depend on the processor itself.

Note that Vista 32bit can only recognise up to 4GB RAM(probly only 3.5+GB in ur BIOS) due to technical limitation.If u want >4GB RAM,u need 64bit version of Windows.

So do you recommend 2GB for this tablet ?

And btw hor ... they said retail price is : $2828 but for student's price its $1699 and you can't find this price after the IT Show , it will go back to the original price .. What do you think ? I was told that it's a new comp ... do you mind doing some research for me plsss (:

I think I am going for the HP PAVILION tx2028AU ..

Student's price , of course ..

 

Errr some Qs horr ..

 

Why is the RAM DIMM whereas some are DRR2 .. which is better ?

Alot said AMD sucks , in term of what ? AMD spoil easily ?

The person said can upgrade to 4GB at their SIm Lim Store (RAM) to 4GB @ $199 ... do you think there is a need ,, ?>

Since my processor 'sucks' , do adding RAM help in boosting the system to core duo 2's sstandard ?

Any advvice/warning for me ?

 

Can la ...

Help me find one decent laptop that maches the whole chunk here:

 

I  support HP (:

 

I think I will look only into these 4 brands : NEC

                                                                       Asus

                                                                        HP/Compaq

                                                                       Fujitsu

Kenneth and hao mayi (: Do you mind posting models of these brands that match my citeria (When you are superb free)

A cool + good design (Just don't want it to be grey/silver)

The frame , in term of height and wide , should not be more than 3cm or thick .. Don't  want it to be like Asus ...(Asus's specs is brilliant , just the design of LCD / sides)

Webcam

Must be 12-13 inch

Longlife battery

Fingerprint thingy (:

Good specs (2.1+Ghz (Good if it's Penryn) 2GB RAM (+/hopefully it's 4GB) Just a decent video card will do )

Prefer tablet but if there is a notebook that is cooler /better than tablet , than its okay .. Tablet feature is just an addtional comment /citeria

 

Please provide me with the details of the model ... I don't want to be like my Fujitsu Case , buy the laptop and later regretted cuz of design and specs ..

I maybe going to IT Show but most likely not buying from there cuz right now I am short of $ until 13/3 So hopefully the models that you find for me , the price will remain in future..

(P.S: FYI : The HP Pavillion Tablet Notebook TX2022AU came with 4 cell battery and 6 cell batetry )

Thanks in advance !

 

I await for your good news tomorrow , afternoon (aroud 1.30-2.30) before going to IT Show (:

Kay , gotta sleep ... i shall wait for the good news with the most "perfect" laptop ...

So my question to you will be... what do use your laptop for?

Don't quite like Mac .. Esp their OS (:

 

Laptop for : Serving the net

                      Project uses

                     Chatting/MSN

                    

Aiya , do you think I need a tablet ?

Benefit of tablet ?

But afterall , tablet still look kinda cool in term of design and name (:

 

But since that HP tablet is "half" of intel core 2 duo .. then I don't think I want it liao .. since the speed of intel core 2 duo is much faster than that Turion .. (A huge different or a small one ? )

Could you also help me find a tablet that have a better features and good specs + within my budget

If cannot ,

then help me find a 12-13 inch notebook , webcam , good design , good specs , longlife battery .. Want cheap , want good .. lol Budget : 2.1-2.7k .. would also like to have the fingerprint thingy..

 

Prefered brand : HP/Compaq  I like Asus but the thickness of frame ... haiizz ...

If Toshiba , it will get heat easily ..

Don't like Acer though ..

Thanks !

 

 

What I dislike most is the : Thickness of frame (wide and height of LCD screen , beside it)

 

(About Asus)

Actually I have chose F9Sg...

 

Errr this person from South Asia  (Funan) recommended me : Lifebook S6410EVB @ $2799

 

Specs : Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 (2.2Ghz , 4MB L2 Cache , 800MHz FSB)

he rest are just crapz ..

But she said got free upgrade to 4GB RAM ..

And it's their store-in-house promotion ..

 

I plan to get that , but what I dislike is that it's "old" , realise last year..

Lai lai , recommend more models plss .. I want 12-13 inch and prefer tablet (:  

My purpose of buying a new laptop is :

 

    Longlife Battery

   1 2.1 -13.1 inch

-  Good specs with min: 2.1 GHz 
   RAM to be at least 2GB and hopefully a max of 4GB

-- GOOD DESIGN
-  Must have webcam , TPM-Chip and also new realise

I have Fujitsu A6020 , bought last year , and it lack of all these .. Another thing I dislike is that the notebook is heavy

Hmm ..

 

Mayi and kenneth , recommend me to take the $1699 for student's ?  Since specs is about the same , but it's quite responsive according to the salesman. It uses magnet and don't really have to touch the screen , and it can detect the wordings and so on ...

 

If I don't want a tablet , do recommend me other models ...

 

Thanks !

Yar , it's for SP student if I am not wrong ..

Specs is about the same but other forumers said that Turion = Power Hungry and hot + lose to Core 2 Duo

and "omemore with a GeForce 6150 nia, even if got HyperMemory the gaming performance is also absymal."

how ??

 

If I am not wrong , only HP and fujitsu have tablet pc .. and Fujitsu is dame exp ..

Could you recommend some other models for me ?

But I still sort of rather prefer tablet .. (:

 

Can you also give a rough estimation of specs with a budget of 2.6k

 

BTW , do you recommend tablet ? Seems cool ..

If you have a budget of 2.1k-2.7k which notebook will you buy ..

With the following "wants"

 

-  Longlife Battery

-  1 2.1 -13.1 inch

-  Good specs with min: 2.1 GHz 
   RAM to be at least 2GB and hopefully a max of 4GB

--GOOD DESIGN
-Must have webcam , TPM-Chip and also new realise...

Is this good ? It was a new arrival , since last wk , friday..

 

The salesman said that he could add up to 4GB RAM or get an extended 3 years local warrenty ..

What do you think and do you recommend this model ? Based on opinion , specs and brand ...
