Rest Your Stress Talk
Hi everyone again! On Racial Harmony Day (21st July), we had a talk about stress management right? Do you all like it? Okay I know the answer is no but it’s actually helpful so let’s revise the tips! :-)
Stress Management Tips:
So take things easy~ Jiayou jiayou everyone! :-)
by Verbena Ong (C301)
Stress Management Tips:
- Jogging, walking, swimming, cyling, stretching
- Get your muscles to relax – palm your eyes and warm your face
- Clear your room, desk, wardrobe
- Indulge in your own interest (sun and sea)
- Watch a humorous movie
- Breathing and relaxation exercise
- Use I-U Matrix to prioritise tasks
- Divide large tasks into smaller tasks
- Eat the frog first – do the most difficult task at the most productive time of the day (http://www.eatthatfrogmovie.com/)
- Overcome lack of confidence through review and practices
- Overcome overwhelmness by dividing tasks into manageable size
- Overcome lack of motivation by resetting goal and purpose
- Play first or later is a choice – choose the one that is safer
- Some things are not in your control, so don’t expect to change them
- Adjust and make more realistic expectations
- Don’t keep to yourselves, find support when needed, we are not superman or wonder woman
So take things easy~ Jiayou jiayou everyone! :-)

BOG Lecture
Hi Hi, everyone again!!:) Remember the BOG lecture on Tuesday and the four points?
The Speaker is Mr Alex Siow, the first CIO in Singapore. He’s a very candid speaker. He shared about his life etc. He also shared about 4 points.So now, let’s see the pictures!
Leading, Governing, Investing and Managing!
Anyway we were the only freshman invited to the lecture as we are the first batch so we do not have anyone in the director’s list. So let’s take the chance to relate it DFS!
Lead by creating a vision of everyone graduating together!
Govern by establishing the foundation and structure for the next batch and the future batches of DFS!
Invest by shaping the DFS portfolio!
Manage by managing DFS! (Sorry for the managing part because I didn’t managed to write down the part whereby Mr Siow was talking about it as he moved on to the next slide already.
Last but not least, there’s one sentence which Mr Siow said that was unforgettable. He said that the way to have good social interpersonal skills is to give and take. You cannot just keep giving and don’t take and you also cannot just keep taking and don’t give. This is very true, isn’t it?

DFS Seminar
Hi everyone! Sorry for the late update on the DFS Seminar!
There were in total four speakers for the DFS Seminar. There were guests from Singapore Police Force, Interpol as well as our very own TP graduate Hamzah who was an intern in Interpol.
Our speakers from SPF and Interpol talked about the rising cyber crimes in the world such that the demand for cyber defenders is getting higher.
A question about how to differentiate the higher and lower standards of criminals was asked. The answer from the SPF Superintendent was that those criminals who are caught thought that they could get away but actually they always left traces that could incriminate them and for those really higher standards criminals, they were never caught so their existence may not even be known. Therefore, it’s up to us to catch those higher standard criminals!
I don’t expect the world to be free of crimes but I believe that it could be done somehow! :-)
Anyway the best part of the DFS Seminar was towards the end of the seminar and after the seminar.
After the Seminar, we, the event helpers from C300 & C301, talked to Mr David and the whole conversation was GREAT! :-) It started by Mr David telling us how he managed to crack the code that I posted on face book and then he continued to tell us about the ways to decode a code.
Like example, RXNNBN, who knows what is that? If I tell you it’s NOT a country, then do you know what is it? Give you all a hint: Use frequency distribution! For eg, ‘E’ is the most common alphabet in a word.
Then Hamzah, the person who went for the internship in Interpol, came and talked to us and Mr David also. And do you all know that the only department in Interpol that does investigation is Financial and High-tech Crimes? Interpol doesn’t do investigation but they have one and only department in Interpol that does investigation! So cool right?
We talked for almost an hour. It was really a great conversation though I was the only girl left :-)
Here are some photos that we took!
Jiayou everyone! :-)

Internet Landscape
Finally, term break when we have time to sit and reflect. Here are the latest statistics and the most comprehensive so far. The heatmap doesn't show it very clearly but most attacks are from Taiwan which is also shown in "Top 10 Malware vs Top 10 Source Location" graph.
There is a clear correlation between number of attacks and binaries downloaded and most are targetted towards Windows machines.
Top 10 malware are all variants of Conflicker worm... must do research on why.

CCN Day
Hey People! Sorry for the late posts! I’ll be doing the part on the Campus Care Network (CCN) Day!
Now that the term tests are over (I’m sure we did pretty okay for our first tests in TP), it’s time to have fun as we have 2 weeks of break! Well… it isn’t a break if we’re bogged down by projects, workshops and assignments now is it? Well, it’s still a break for us to rest and recover!Okay! Now back to the main topic! CCN Day was fun as it was the first time most of us were involved in a project since project work in our lower secondary years. It put to test our creativity, marketing and sales pitching skills as both classes strived to make a profit.
From what I heard, C301 spent quite a bit on the coffee machine, cakes, apple crumbles and other things. C300 also spent much on their materials, buying the many bags gummy bears, rolls of mentos and the jars. But in the end, everyone made a profit and that’s what counts! =D Now on to the pictures!
