my eyes are still swollen from all the crying when watching i am sam. i practically used up 3 packets of tissue! feels stupid.

but it kinda motivated me to study real hard for my social work exams. mm, maybe i'm easily influenced but the show kinda reinforced what i always wanted and removed all doubts i had during my discussion with meixing on the train today.

blah, shouldn't have s/u my GEM. i've gotten 25/30 for the essay when i spent the least effort on it. ):

but i feel better now after grumbling over and over again to wee. hee thanks for tolerating my irritatingness. and i know you will still love me if i get poor grades. lol (:

"Behaviour modification, or behaviour therapy, is the use of conditioning to gradually change behaviour. It is effective among children with special needs, such as autism. Reinforcement/punishment is most effective when it immediately follows a behaviour. However what is reinforcing for one can be punishing for another. " mm, maybe fa2 zhan4 for yewjoe is reinforcement of his behaviour rather than punishment cos he likes to fa2 zhan4? hmmmm..

kay, shall brainstorm on punishments suitable for him after the exams. now, it's back to hitting the books!
