"Deng had congratulated Mr Lee for building up Singapore into a carden city. Recalled Mr Lee: "So I said, 'Whatever we can do, you will do better. We are the descendants of the landless peasants of South China, you have the literati, yo u have the top brains, you ahve the poets, the artists.' He did not answer me, he just looked at me and went back to his food."
Do I agree with this view?
It is necessary.
Is it correct?

LTB IS FINALLY OVER!!!
plenty of things to say about that, but its all in my learning journal, which I shan't reproduce.
It feel good that it's finally over!
Now, I only have my LSLMA report to complete, and exams to study for!

Conflict management.
Best strategy is collaboration.
other methods:
evade, compromise, give in, force your way through

I NEED A KICK IN THE BUTT!
After experiencing my first paper, I know what needs to be done to prepare for finals. But with the impossibility of it before me, I can't even get started!
HELP!!!

I attended a talk by our law minister today.
It was very insightful, especially as to how to handle your evidence and witnesses.
How to approach what resources and information you have, to tackle it from different angles to achieve your goal.
How to cross-examine your witnesses in different ways to achieve your desired result.
How every piece of information, no matter how obscure or remote, could be instrumental in winning your case.
There was also a bonus of hearing Mr Shanmugam defend our ISA. I cannot cease to be impressed at how some people can seemingly take a question and answer it so completely and eloquently. (another weakness to add to my list) He phrased his reply in a very informative and effective manner, touching on a variety of points, and stringing them all together seamlessly.
That topic also relit my interest in the foreign service, to defend our country's interest to the ignorant world that loves to jump to conclusions.

LTB takeaways:
Everybody is powerful in different ways.
different types of power:
-expert power
-reward power
-legitimate power
-referent power
-coercive power
Lessons from Apollo 13:
stay calm in emergencies eugene kranz
keep an optimistic outlook
don't dwell on the past, focus on the present
focus on what resources are available
think out of the box
Saw Julie & Julia today. The most hilarious show, very cleverly made. And naturally, fantabulous acting from Meryl Streep. How that woman does it is beyond me. Adore her.
Contract mid term paper is over.
All the written reports coming up.
Chiong for finals after that. I have serious doubts as to how I'm ever going to be prepared for the exams.
Wish I could spend more time at dance and with my friends whom I never see anymore.
