my horoscope reading frm facebook for 30/10/07: Faltering morale; as a compensation, you'll be inclined to fling yourself on food, which will be much more copious than usual; how could you then avoid becoming overweight? A few obstacles to your professional activities. Don't dissimulate your sentiments any longer.Think of renewing ties with those members of your larger family whom you've not seen since a long time.

shit facebook is addictive..
u juz wan to play n play n nv get out...
wahaha
i will control myself..
anw the supreme court field trip was loads of fun
if not for the sweltering weather it would haf been better
basically we had a tok by the SMC executive director who also happens to be prof valerie's classmate
it was interesting..wif a some funny anecdotes..
anw if u r professional mediator u can earn loads of money..
someone ever charged $900 an hr to mediate..
oh my!
n all u do is to sit there n mediate between the people
granted tt in itself can be challenging sometimes..
i think i saw my co law tutor in the video shown which means he is a mediator too..
asktoh is so on sia
n anyone can be a mediator...
but u need to pay $1000+ to go thru the accrediatation course first before being certified as a associate mediator..
and u still gt chance of failing...
haha
but dun expect to earn $900/hr
coz tt's the commercial rate
n the SMC doesn't charge commercial rates
coz it's a not-for-profit organisation
den in the afternoon, we had a tour of the supremem court
ok i admit i still think the new supreme court building still looks like a UFO
it's not as grand as the old supreme court building
but the inside is damn nice...
we went into the technology court
the viewing gallery
n the court of appeal
there was even a hearing going on...
tt's like very rare coz the court of appeal sits only twice a mth...
so we go a chance to see how the appeal court works
there r 3 judges
the chief justice n 2 appeal court judges
one of whom happens to be prof valerie's prof in law sch
tok abt a small world
haha
but the case being heard was a bit beyond me..
anw the chief justice looks so grandfatherly..
heh
anw the high court does not look anything like wad tv shows potray courtrooms to be like...
it's much better...
super modern...
n the very interesting thing is tt there are two circulation routes for the supreme court staff n the other pple..
this is to ensure the security of the judges n staff of the supreme court..
u noe in case gt criminal wan to kill the judges..
so fascinating rite?
like got hidden passageway like tt..
haha
apparently the singapore judiciary system is very efficient
coz it juz takes half a yr to 9 mths for a case to be heard whereas in some countries it may take yrs or even generations for the case to be heard..
but previously it was not like this...
there was also a lot of backlog..
but the previous chief justice revamped the judiciary system in the 90s
tt's y we haf wad we haf now
cool!
oh ya..
btw lawyer n judges dun wear the wig in court anymore
they abolished it..
den 1 interesting observation made by others was tt lawyers always wear black n white
n wadx more the white shirt is the plain white shirt wif no designs n patterns on it..
haha
n my fren was positively going gaga abt the numerous suave n charming n handsome lawyers going in n out of the supreme court...
i think i must have been blind tt day..i din see any..
haha
i wanna watch lust caution!
reviews abt the show haf been generally positive
but
they say the uncut version is better
n the papers say tt act the distributor could haf submitted the uncut version n it would haf passed thru the censorship board wif a R21 rating...
shit tt means i wun be able to watch
anw now it's only nc16
walao frm r21 cut until become nc16

Friday, October 5; 10/05/2007 02:06:00 AM
was watching the let's shoot juz now...
den the issue they were talking abt was whether youngsters nowadays noe how to handle their finances or sth like tt...
den there were some guest 'debaters'/ 'speakers' dunno wad are they called la..
anw some mentioned that when they first got their atm card they found it so fascinating
coz all they haf to do is to go to the atm machine and the money coming out seems to be neverending..
but after tt they were shocked when they realised tt they had spent so much
n they had no idea where their money went
personally understand how they felt at tt time
when i first got my atm card i din dare to use it la
coz my mum monitors my account very closely..
but later on when i gained sufficient trust frm my mum
n was sort of allowed to use the card..
i found it fascinating too..
n unlike them i haf a mother who qned my withdrawal frm the acc
so i had to hav a very good memory so tt i can acc to her..
wahaha
but in recent yrs esp since i haf my campus acc..
i really haf no idea where my money went..
coz i din haf to acc to anyone
food perhaps..
haha
anw tt wasn't wad i wanted to say
i was thinking
wad we learnt in econs is so true
when a low income family experiences an increase in their income
their expenditure is likely to increase by more than proportionate...
the same goes for students
as a primary sch student
i only had $2 everyday as my pocket money
n amazingly i could still save some money..
but after getting into sec sch..
there was big jump in my allowance
i still remember the feeling when i first got a $50 in my wallet
i thot it was so much..
but when tt $50 was handed up for some sch thingy mrs chiam looked so at ease wif it..
den i realised tt $50 to the adults is nth much afterall..
wahaha
anw i had no idea wad to do with the sudden increase
so i spent
n till now i still dunno wad i spent on back then
wad can a sec 1 ger spend on tt will req $50 a week?
n i dun shop dun spend..
i only eat..
hmm i dunno..
wahaha
den subsequently my allowance stayed stagnant for the next 6 yrs
it even experienced a decline..
den i learned to save...
but after a while..
i realised tt maybe 200/mth is not a lot afterall..
i had to scrimp n save again...
ok maybe i dun scrimp..
but it became a tight budget
until all the way in uni
i dun get an allowance
but my tuition pay was still ard the range of 200..
den now there's slight increase
n my spending has increased drastically..
every month i dunno where my money go..
i think tt's like bad..
coz i haf experienced dry mths when i was totally regretting my lack of savings
but somehow i still dun learn my lessons
i still spend..
so this person on the show suggested to set aside percentage of wad u haf every mth to pay urself
n u pay urself by putting that amt in a bank acc
n make sure u dun touch it..
haha
i think it's a good idea..
setting aside a certain amt first b4 consuming instead of consuming first den saving
coz definitely there'll be nth left for u to save...
haha
trust me..
i tried..
haha
i muz haf a goal to work towards to..den maybe i'll be motivated to save..
but the problem wif me is tt if i can't afford it..
den i might as well do without it..
i muz really think of sth tt will motivate me to save..
hmm~~
hmm~~
also i believe the increasingly cashless society is making it easier for us to spend
in terms of convenience
n also when u use a card, u dun see the money gg out, so u dun feel the pinch..
at least it's like tt for me..
muz be like sp
spend only cash she has...
come to think of it..
i like nv see her use her card b4..
it's always me n lamu q-ing to withdraw money..
haha
target: 6 mths worth of spending as savings (by right)
so ms ow dun keep saying spend finish the money den see how...
cannot like tt wor...
wrong 金 錢 的 觀 念 哦
哈 哈
who am i to preach..
let's all work together to save!
it's lonely to be saving alone...
heh
gg to the supreme court field trip later..
unfortunately i think photography not allowed..
anw so fun..
who gets to go on a field trip as part of their lesson
which means i can wake up later coz it's nearer to go city hall den to go sch...
n the starting time is later too
kekeke
ok..shall go slp liao..

nasty words are hard to erase
angry words tend to be nasty words and cannot be erased so easily..
if u r truly apologetic u wouldn't have said wad u did..
u haf been the one causing unrest
pple haf to tread carefully ard u
i'm so sick n tired of it...
i can be just as stubborn as you are..
haf u ever considered tt everything may juz be a misunderstanding
tt u read too much into wad others say n do...
y dun u juz voice it out instead of making life difficult for pple ard u...
u dunno how hurting ur words and actions r to others
but u expect others to not do it to u
there a limit to my tolerance
there's a rebel in me too..
i think n i hope i'm becoming more immune to ur words
it's fine...
i'll be ok...
there'll be a day when i will not look back..
the words that u said just makes it easier..
u lash at others when u r hurt..
but when others lash back at u find it a personal attack..
not fair!
perhaps u really had enough..
perhaps i interefered too much...
it's ur prob..
if u do not actively solve it y shud i care?
y shud i be bothered tt u do not haf the support that u may need later on...
since u r intent on burning all ur bridges
fine!
juz go on..
be my guest
maybe i din try hard enuff
it's really hard applying wad u learnt in negotiation to real life
esp to someone who's not rational
who has her preconceived ideas and refuse to be open to other possibilities
maybe i din try hard enuff
maybe i lost my temper too soon
but i juz hate it when u start making sacarstic remarks
u hated it when i made the same remarks
so wad gifs u the same rights to make those kind of remarks
u also noe how jarring they r to the ears
but u feel that u r right but i am wrong...
i will not be bothered wif ur affairs anymore
u juz dunnoe how to empathise wif others don't you?
i'm totally disappointed...
