Entry 6

My mind's all over the place these days. Assignments, tutorials, studies, moot, piles of worries and fears, scared of the future, stressed over financial plans and all. I almost broke down on Wednesday because I felt too much. I felt like everything in life didn't go well. All these things, even the guy that I like haven't kept in touch with me for a long time. I am kind of sad but this is just a small issue compared to my financial worries and study worries.

I am feeling very worried of my bank balance....... today I only have RM 5 in my purse..... maybe I need to be strict of my budgets, but I have always learned that money could come and go, what matters the most is you are happy. I am unsure to what extent should I agree to this principle. Maybe I need to save up some money by fasting next week. This could help me to lose weight plus I have 8 days left of 'puasa ganti', might as well I finish it as soon as possible

So, I decided to take a break from the hectic piles of work. I actually love to read, it's a coping mechanism to me, so I read a book whereby to relate to IP, books are literary works and the author owns this work as long as there is originality, and been reduced to material form. My leisure read was titled 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck'. Based on this book, the idea of not giving a f*ck means being indifferent, but being comfortable with being different. To not give a f*ck about adversity, you must first care about something more important than adversity.

I just finished three chapters and looking forward to read more when I am free. I couldn't really review this book because I haven't managed to finish it yet. I hope I could finish this book this weekend since it's been interesting so far. I am always a fan of self-help books! 

I am also reading 'Mars and Venus better together', my best friend got this for my birthday the other day, she said I should find a boyfriend and learn how to love. Hahahaha. I loved reading it but let time and fate decide things for me in the context of finding love. I might write about this book next week. 

Entry 5

Hi. Remember when I googled the "P" symbol out of curiosity last week that I found from Super Junior music video where it is actually a phonogram copyright (PHONOGRAM COPYRIGHT ℗)?

I presented about it yesterday in IP lecture and Prof told me that we do not have that in Malaysia. I am happy to the fact that I have learned a new thing again.

However, she also said that it was a good journaling the fact that I related the things I did, with IP.

She also shared an interesting blog:
http://ipkitten.blogspot.com/

IPKat blog covers copyright, patent, trade mark, designs, info-tech, privacy and confidentiality issues from a mainly UK and European perspective. I have went through this blog yesterday on the spot and I am looking forward to read more when I have free time.

Entry 4

I am a fan of Super Junior since high school. Super Junior is a Korean band based under SM Entertainment. They made a comeback on October 4th which was 5 days ago but I just had the time to finally watch the music video on Youtube and I am really excited right now. Their latest song is called 'I Think I', and the caption of the video stated 'SUPER JUNIOR 슈퍼주니어 'I Think I' MV ℗ SM ENTERTAINMENT, Label SJ' and I thought of researching the meaning behind the logo "P" in the context of Intellectual Property.

Therefore, when I googled it, the symbol is a phonogram copyright (PHONOGRAM COPYRIGHT ℗)

The ℗ symbol, is used in a Copyright notice for sound recordings. This symbol is therefore used to indicate the ownership of a sound recording. A sound recording embodies a separate copyright to the underlying musical work, and will often have a different owner i.e. the producer.

A Phonogram Copyright notice consists of: the ℗ symbol; the year of first publications; and the name of the owner.

For example: ℗ 2018 Albright IP Limited.

The Phonogram Copyright symbol is often mistaken as a symbol indicating a Patent, this is a common misconception.

Therefore, I am kind of proud to be learning a new thing today!

Entry 3

Today I submitted my Jurispudence assignment for my group mates to check and I have done cross-check of memorials for the upcoming mooting competition with my moot teammates. I am staying back at the library today and I remembered that everything that are original and reduced in material form is copyrightable by virtue of Section 7 (a) and (b) of the Copyright Act 1987. I believe that all my assignments are literature works mentioned in Section 3 of the same Act. Therefore, I am proud that I could finally relate to every work I have done with the context of Intellectual Property. It's kind of cool.
