Another "MsN"

hm.. would like to share with you guys, a new kind of "classroom communication" method.. this method is created by beng.. though i thought it was kind of intriguing and good.. some of you may think it's ridiculous or shitty.. in any case i'll still share it with you guys.

basically this method is called "dictionary-cum-MSN". do you know the chinese dictionary made by creative that we bought a while ago (the one that can be used for chinese o level paper one?)?? you can actually use it as a kind of msn or communication if you prefer to call it.. (some teacher may not be happy with noises mah.. this kind of communication quite silent one)

to use it very simple.. just go to the section where you are suppose to type hanyu pinyin to find words that you are looking for. now you are able to type freely right? there you go! (although, there is limited space, you still can use it to type short messages)

you might say, "walau this kind of thing just like passing message written on a piece of paper.. what for need so hi-tech thing??" then you're definitely wrong.. unless you burn/destroy the paper (with the message) completely, there's always a 0.0000000000001% chance that someone (whom you don't want them to read the message) might read it.. i experience it before and because that someone read it.. i got into deep shit..

so in summary, these are the pros and cons for this "dictionary-cum-MSN":
Pros:
- simply type your message (don't need write and waste your ink)
- can be deleted after reading the message (completely destroys the "evidence")
- fast
- noise-less
- safer compared to paper messages (lol XD)

Cons:
- uses battery
- can only be used for short messages (for long ones, you have to do it in parts)
- some characters are not available (mainly the punctuations and symbols, numerics as well as the letter v) (for letter v, you can utilize the character u with the double dots instead)
- expensive compared to paper :p

credits: beng for inventing this ridiculous yet innovative communication method.. kudos..
btw if you guys need dp.. just put a picture on your table while "msn-ing" LOL :P
