Youtube Information

Since WestwoodSec has it's very own youtube page, I figured this would help a little. Sometimes the videos are blur in youtube, you can try this and the quality will improve a little. It works with every video you see on youtube.

How do I view Higher Quality Videos?
By default, your playback setting is set to normal.

If you know you have a very fast or very slow connection, you may want to change your "Video Playback Setting" in your account to “I have a fast connection. Always play higher-quality video when it's available.” or “I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video.”

To change your playback settings, follow the steps below:

1. Go to your Account page.
2. Under “Account” click the “Video Playback Quality” link.
3. Select the playback setting that makes sense for you.
4. Click the “Save Settings” button.


You can also choose to view a specific video in higher quality directly from the playback page. If the video is streaming at standard quality and is available in higher quality, you can click the link that reads “Watch this video in higher quality” underneath the video. Conversely, if you’re watching the streaming video in higher quality and want to watch it in standard quality, click the link that says "Watch this video in lower quality for faster playback."

So if you want higher quality, click watch this video in higher quality.

Hope that helps.

4 in 1 Event

Yesterday was the major 4 in 1 event which consists of the Awards Day, NYAA & Friends of Westwood Awards, SC Investiture and CCA Passing Out Parade. I've uploaded the following videos in segments for easier viewing pleasure - so that it won't take ages to buffer.

Westwood Byte!

No, not the morning Westwood Bytes. rather, bits and pieces of "byte" sized information about Westwood's History!

for those who haven't figured out, yesterday's post was obviously a LAME April Fool's joke. *highlight the whole post*

On to the FIRST Westwood Byte -

Best Buildable Design Awards 2002
Certificate Of Merit - Institutional Buildings Category

Westwood's current campus spans across 22, 807m2 of land and it costs S$15.9Million to build the campus. It was built ground up over a span of 1 year.

No I'm not sprouting some random numbers. The whole school campus costs S$15.9Mil! Wonder how it looks like from space?

New Management

Dear students and bloggers of Westwood Secondary,

The student bloggers of Westwood Blog have been replaced by teachers of the school. As of today, all blogging will be done by Teachers. The news that will be posted here from today onwards will be much more serious and not as casual as the students. All spammers and flamers will be dealt directly by the School's Discipline Committee as we have a new software in place to detect the home addresses of people who visit the blog. Don't try changing your nickname as we can track you down.

Jeremy will be passing the administration rights to the TBC (Teachers Blogging Committee) as of today.
