One man, one wife, one marriage

Guess Mondays won't be that blue with two interesting lecturers, Mr J & Mr D, with their queer sense of humour, sarcasm & filling us in on facts about the subjects they are teaching.

Yup, as you've guessed. Day 1 wasn't that bad just that it was a bit hard to sit through a 2-hour lecture. Guess that's the result of missing school for 5 months. Heh, but will get used to it, i hope.

Media law lecture was pretty cool today as we discussed on what are somethings that are legally right but probably morally wrong. Interestingly, many things did pop out in this area like abortion, extra-marital affairs etc.

Then Mr J also shared about how the law can actually affect the moral standards. For instance, when they introduce the monogamy law in Singapore in the 60s, it was to stop Chinese men from marrying multiple wives. And because of that, we are influenced to no longer see it right to have many wives.

But back in the 60s, it was probably the norm.

And we know it, cos hands up if your grandfather had more than one wife?

Scriptwriting was pretty cool too. Ideas are swimming in my head about the assignments. And the coolest part of the lecture, we are encouraged to watch more TV & movies to get inspiration & ideas!

Woohoo, like my mom can't scold me for watching too much TV! But anyway, she never does cos i dun watch much either. I think i probably use the net more.

Yup, hope to finish up the SIP report this weeek. Have no head or tail where to start man!
