This came just as a survey showed that bullying in schools has reached an epidemic level, with 70% of primary and secondary students reporting being physically abused at some time or other. Among the 4,000 students surveyed, some 2,800 or 70% said they had been victims of physical acts such as kicking, hitting, hair‐pulling or pushing that often happened in the classroom, canteen or in the toilet.

Interviewed by Freak‐E >Do you think cyber‐bullying is a big problem for Singaporean students? Yes, of course. >Can you estimate the percentage of students who were bullied online? More than 50%, I would say. >In your opinion, is cyber or physical bullying more damaging to a teenager? Both are as damaging, but cyber‐bullying also adds emotional trauma and humiliation to the victim. >Do you think counseling is effective for victims to recover from the damage Cyber‐bullying has caused? Only half the battle is won when the victims undergo counseling? They still have to overcome the trauma themselves. >Where do you think Bullying is most rampant? Through the online platform like chats, games and blogs, facebook and the list goes on…

Sudden Attack is a free MMOFPS (Massively‐Multiplayer‐Online‐First‐Person‐ Shooter) developed by GameHi. It was Korea’s number 1 online FPS game, brought to SEA in English by Asiasoft. The gameplay is very similar to other shooters like Counter‐Strike, Soldier Front etc. The graphics may not be the best; however, it allows computers with lower specifications to be able to run the game. During the game, players will be split into 2 different teams, red team and blue team. Depending on the game mode, players will then fight each other to decide the winner. There is a wide array of weapons to choose from, including the popular AK‐47 and the M4A1 Carbine. Weapons can be bought from the shop for 1 day, 1 week or 1 month. The sound effects in the game are great, and you can even hear bullets whizzing past you as they miss you by inches. The one thing that irritated me was the huge number of spawn‐campers (people who hide near the spawn‐point of the team and kill them when they come out). Almost half of my deaths were caused by getting back‐stabbed by somebody hiding behind a door. Overall, I think that this is a great game and anybody itching for a nice shooter to spend time on should try this game. However, the game is only in the Closed Beta Stage, and most of the invitation codes are already given out.
Sudden Attack SEA (South-east Asia) Rating: 9/10

3D Televisions to arrive in June
Sony had revealed that its 3D sets will arrive June 10, in Japan then in other regions. Sony's first model will have a 46-inch screen for 350,000 yen or $3,875, which is expensive, but it is new technology. Each set will come with two pairs of 3D glasses. Manufacturers have been trying to ride the hype and growing popularity of 3D movies in the theater. "Avatar 3D," the highest grossing movie ever, and the recently opened "Alice in Wonderland 3D," which had an impressive first-weekend box office take, show that people are interested in 3D movies. But the test will be if they want it in their homes.
Anime in English usually refers to a style of animation originating in Japan, heavily influenced by the manga (Japanese comics) style and typically featuring characters with large eyes, big hair and elongated limbs, exaggerated facial expressions, brush‐stroked outlines, limited motion and other distinctive features. The term may also be used for other animation connected to Japan or to anime proper, irrespective of style. While the earliest known Japanese animation dates from 1917 and many original Japanese cartoons were produced in the ensuing decades, the charateristic anime style developed in the 1960s ‐ notably with the work of Osamu Tezuka ‐ and became known outside Japan in the 1980s. Anime, like manga, has a large audience in Japan and high recognition throughout the world. Distributors can release anime via television broadcasts, directly to video, or theatrically, as well as online. Both hand‐drawn and computer‐animated anime exist. It is used in television series, films, video, video games, commercials, and internet‐based releases, and represents most, if not all, genres of fiction. Anime gained early popularity in East and Southeast Asia and has garnered more‐recent popularity in the Western World.

On February 2, 2010, Sony Ericsson announced what rocked the mobile phone industry : The Aspen. The Sony Ericsson Aspen confirmed the existence of the latest version of Windows Mobile : Windows Mobile 6.5.3. This newer version features a fully touch friendly interface, support for capacitive touch screens and multitouch, and drag and drop icons. This fuelled the rumours that Microsoft ‘s Windows Phone 7 would indeed be an iPhone killer. Windows Mobile 6.5.3 features complete touch support with complete touch support throughout the OS. Old applications will be “magnified” by a built‐in Magnifier to bring touch support. Tiles almost have replaced soft keys, due to the fact that most phones now have no soft keys. The start button has been moved to the bottom, and the start menu features drag and drop icons. This indeed proves that Microsoft has indeed “woken up” and moved towards a touch future.

Review of the Ice Age3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, also known as Ice Age 3, is a 2009 3‐D computer animated film. It is the third installment of the Ice Age series. Ice Age3 is the one of the latest movie that really surprised me. It has an attractive content. "Ice Age 3" starts opening, with Allie Manny is looking forward to the birth of small Mammoth; Diego started to doubt himself in the end are not eligible to become a saber-toothed tiger, because the "practice" vegetarian changed his gentle manner of nameless; Sid is still afraid to die, but, with the "the sky bird will fly down so that he grilled," the ability, at this time is to create a second spring of life, rushing from the dinosaurs when the baby's mother came; and The squirrels are really cute finally had luck with the opposite sex to go. Besides that, many audiences are screaming for the realistic 3D effects. It’s awesome! The Scene designs have a pretty good portrait of the role. The advantage of 3D movies is the ability to enable the audience to be immersed in it, so cartoons are the most suitable type of 3D films made.

koitenshi from crunchyroll said:“Worth a second look. At first I thought to myself "Oh no, not another baking anime!". Then I saw the first episode. It was actually very good. I definitely give this show a thumbs up for taking the time to create something that should be very memorable in the end. I am looking forward to the second episode and hope that the series will continue onward like this.” sheena_0801 said: “I watched the first episode but it's raw(now it is subbed).. I was only able to understand some part of it.. T_T even so I already like it!! and even better because I love baking! the cakes they have shown there looks so awesome!!! I want to eat some!” toushiro20174 said:”I find this anime a bit unoriginal. Green hair dude is like a copy of Drew from Pokemon, glasses guy is Kyoya from OHSHC & the blond have the same personality like Len from La Corda. Sweet Spirits are like Shugo Chara...But strangely I'm waiting for the episode to come out each week...”
The latest addition to the family of anime, some people say this anime is similar to kitchen princess, shugo chara and gakuen alice. If you are great fans of these anime you will surely love this anime. So far only 5 episodes out of the 13 episodes have been released by Studio Pierrot. It is about a 14‐year‐old girl named Ichigo Amano who wants to be a patisserie , but she is very clumsy. She thought she had no talents but she has a excellent taste bud. On Heri‐sensei advice she decides to enroll in St.Mary Academy, a culinary school for sweets, and follow her grandmother footsteps to become a patissiere.But she does not know how to bake at all! Her journey starts from her dream of being a patisserie, when she meets a spirit of sweets, Vanilla. The journey has only started…. I guess this anime is similar to shugo chara as she has a guardian character to teach her how to bake. However, the story plot is totally different and it is similar to kitchen princess as it is about cooking and all. The best reason to why this is similar to gakuen alice is still because Natsume teasing Mikan and more, in this storyline, there is also teasing. Introducing Koto Kashino, one of the "Princes of Sweets" of the school.. Fans of anime and casual viewers alike look forward to seeing this anime more. Crunchyroll is currently hosting the show but it is not avaible here yet. The manga is not on mangafox or onemanga.
