hi people,

Im in such a good mood today! Must be because i finally finished and handed up my soci paper!

Just in case u guys don't know, starhub is giving away FREE sms!! FINALLY!! My patience has been rewarded! ahahaha!! Now..i got free incoming calls ALL DAY and free SMS!!! Yay!!!!!
So...the war between Singtel, Starhub and M1 is highly beneficial afterall!

I havent been working for so looong...im like running low on the dough..i hate that..Was supposed to work at HMV next weekend..but got too many projects and papers to handup the following week so...*sigh*.

Guess what?! This police inspector guy ( actually i think his rank is higher..senior something something but i cant remember what is it) who deals with computer crime came to my Cybercrime class today and told us more about the Computer Misuse Act in S'pore and the "war stories" against cyber criminals.

I discovered a few shocking facts:
1) There are ONLY a total of 29 staff working under the specific computer division. ( i cant help but feel they are understaffed)

2) If the police suspect (i repeat, merely suspect) that you are breaching the law by committing some computer crime, they can arrest you without a warrant!!!! That's frightening! (actually i found that out long ago during class, but decided to tell you guys anyway cuz i think its interesting)

3) Finally, i realized that i could have SUED and WON my case against one of my ex boyfriends for unauthorized access to my email and for impersonating me!! Wow! And the guy thought he was so above the law..turns out it was my ignorance that was blinding me. Ah well...

So...pretty cool huh? I think the policemen have it goooood in S'pore. (what say you, juan? heh!) They got plenty of leeway to do what they want...not as troublesome as the US...

Anyway, gtg now...got a computing test on sat to study for. Ciao!

XxX,
