I guess nothing got to do who initiated the app. Since she is the boss now, cannot always taiji here and there or not her fault lo.

Lesson learned, always backup to at least one other repository, or as far as study notes go, I'd fully recommend pen and paper and highlighters.

The old ways are the best ways. The act of writing/sketching diagrams helps to internalize the content. And colours to emphasize.

if want to be really kiasu

- write notes on paper

- scan them (no need money - just use free pdf scanner apps)

- upload scanned notes to dropbox (free up to certain storage amount)

limpeh think older generations tend to appreciate murphy's law better...we got plan A, plan B, all the way until east coast plan

It has nothing to do with old or new way.

Rather, this is an unreliable app to which MOE is answerable.

I use an ipad for my notes.  Otherwise, I can't find my papers.

Not just affected students and families but also the relevant working civil servants who got to clean up the mess created by "senior management"

It sounds like an "easter egg" put in by developers when testing the software but forgot to remove it? Or they left it as a shortcut?

Like those "easter egg" for games testing  When activated, make your character bulletproof or able to jump levels or infinite health. Then the game developers can quickly reach whatever part of the game required for testing, easily, take out the boss level and see the end credits and cinematic ending got come out properly or not.
