How To Chat

There are so many chat programs. And best of all they are free. For example if you want to speak with someone in US and you are in Malaysia, you just have to download one of the free program.

Below are some URLs of the chat programs. In order to use one, you need to check out the ease of use. I like Google Talk but not many of my friends are usng it. Yahoo Messenger is another popular program but may be blocked by the Schoolnet causing problem when assessing.

I like to use Skype as it is quite efficient in the connection. For Skype, you can chat, speak online, video conferencing, send files and even speak or SMS to a mobile phone line. Of course for the latter you need to pay for using the service. Anyway the credit for using the service is much cheaper than our land line.

Check the programs and install them in your computer to start chatting!

There are also chats which you don't have to install the programs. One such chat is http://www.chatzy.com/ You just login with your name and make invitation through emails. Alternatively, to make thing simplier, you just copy the address (or URL) and sent it to your friend. It is suitable for teacher using it to chat with the students during learning lessons.

During one of the training session, there was one lady teacher who was chatting the whole day with a "doctor". She was married and was flirting with the "doctor" without realising it. Maybe it was fun in the beginning, but she was drifting away from the lessons.

There were many cases of happy marriages after online chatting. There were also equally many cases of girls being cheated by Casanovas. So, my dear friends, if you intend to flirt around - at least flirt with tact.

Here are some advice for girls during chatting:
1. If someone should be threatening you online, you should remove him from your contact.
2. You should not allow anyone to lure you into giving personal information.
3. Avoid meeting someone unless you have enough information on that person.
4. Avoid chatting with people you feel uncomfortable with.
5. Flirting can be fun but it may hurts if you fall into the Casanova's trap.
