short notes for the day in point form, coz im tired...

  • quote of the day from my psych class - human conversations are full of misunderstandings
  • studied the history and philosophy of psychology today, very dry...
  • psychology is considered a very new science, it only evolved in the late 1800s
  • some impt pple in psychology to remember - their school of thoughts impt for exams
    • Hippocrates, Rene Descartes, Rogers, Beck, Sigmund Freud, Vygotsky, Jean Piaget, Hebb
  • nature vs nurture debate (genes vs. environment, innate vs. learned, genotype vs. phenotype)
  • probable question i might tackle for my first assignment, give me your advice if any.
    • "what is punishment, and does it really work?" Investigate from persepective of psychologists, with expertise in the area of learning.
  • anyway, taking 3 modules only this sem. Psych, Mgt and Mkt... out of which, mkt seems rather boring. we shall see...
  • lots of readings to do, lots of assignments coming up... too much work, too little time.
  • lots of other committments
  • looking for job to earn some additional cash... anyone with jobs to introduce?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  • have a pact with Avril that she'll save 15-20% of her pay each mth, and ill save 50% when i start working. perfectly possible... just a matter of discipline.
  • money goes into our new shared account...
  • agreement that we should save around $30-50k at least before thinking about marriage
  • important to have a target to reach, so that we wont be doing things aimlessly
  • but of coz, things can change... as time goes by... money factor, time factor etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  • abit on soccer...
  • as expected, Arsenal fail to get pass the 2nd round of Champions League AGAIN!
  • not much disappointment when u kinda expect it to happen
  • against Bolton this weekend, cant see an Arsenal win... happy to take the tie back to Highbury
  • cant wait to go to London when Ashburton (Arsenal's Emirates Stadium) opens in Aug 06 for the new 06/07 season
  • Arsenal to have new yellow away jersey next season
  • Thierry Henry out for 2-3 weeks... bad omen! how many more players are gonna be out?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  • having a headache now
  • feel really tired after school tonight
  • perhaps ive been studying alittle too hard... haha, CLEMENT CHENG - studying hard?!?
  • serious... too long a period without reading and studying, feeling the stress now
  • but looking forward to doing well, getting gd grades... bleah!
  • new table doing the trick
  • for those who need motivation to study, i feel a change of environment or having something new can help spark a change and make a difference in your life. Try it, it works!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  • some facts of life...
    • life is hard and not always fair
    • we live by choice and not by chance
    • habits are the key to all success
    • goals are dreams with deadlines
    • you have to give up something to get something
    • psychologists cannot predict all the people all the time, but they can predict some of the people some of the time
    • the road to success is always under construction
    • statistics are just like mini-skirts, they give you good ideas but hide the most important thing
    • intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them
    • in relationships there are problems and deep within the problem lies the solution
    • life is a game of cards, the way you, the hand that is dealt you represents determinism, the way you play it is free will
  • and most importantly, the quote that is close to my heart, as i say it over and over again.
    • EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!

You know it makes sense!
