For example, my Money & Banking lecturer used to work in the Federal Reserve Banks and he knows prominent economists like Mishkin and Ben Bernanke is a long time friend of his! Im always delighted when he shares with us his experience of working in the FED and how he interprete recent events. He said the congressman are all lawyers who know nothing about economics, he has a good mind to give them a seminar or two on economics, and i totally agree! I still dont quite approve of the bailout plan... to me, it's just a transfer of wealth from the poor to the very rich. I think it would be more effective to give that money directly to the poor and help them through this tough period instead of giving it to the rich and hoping it would drain to the poor, coz it doesnt.
I love the insights from the lecturers, i love how they make me think critically about economic policies. I wish my major is Econs instead of psy and i had taken up a scholarship to study Econs in the states instead of psy in NUS where career prospects seem bleak.
I think im probably the only one who discovered that she comes on sep to really learn, rather than play and travel (my dad will be glad to know that!).
PS: i topped my class for my money & banking course and mummy rewarded me with a pair of UGG boots :D

I was really touched. I feel your presence even though we cant spend vday together cos now my room smells of roses. And i think it's really more meaningful to receive a bouquet of fresh roses that i can water and take care of. Thank you for spending your whole sat talking to me online despite having an important exam a week later, thank you for making the effort and thank you for the lovely roses and chocolates that must have cost you dearly.
