{Lunchtime Bliss}
Okay. So this hectic, busy week has like whizzed by in a flash. Work is getting less mindless, but at the same time its also getting pretty stressful. Compiling an LOD and drafting the relavant affidavits can be a ridiculously difficult task (for me, at least). And there's more to come next week. Cor! And now i'm like do-it-all girl as well-- i've been sent on a few errands to lug files back and forth to this other law firm thats located a few blocks away. So basically i have to walk there, back and forth, to carry files and occasionally buy foodie items for some of the secretaries if needs be. Urrgh. But the v good thing about it is i actually get out of the office for a bit and lo and behold-- i saw KEAGAN KANG at this coffee shop whilst walking to the firm on friday!!!! LOVELY!!! -swoons and dies- So that completely, totally, makes up for it. Hoho!
I loveee my friends-- my brudder Nat had lunch with me on weds, and passed me my very belated christmas present. Hur. Thanks a lot, dude. Ty took me out to lunch on thursday after my choir job, and puja met us a little after that. Everything was tres funny, thanks to puj, as usual. hoho. And then on friday, eugene bought me lunch at the Fig & Olive-- the only downer was me having to rush all the way to raffles place to meet him because he's simply too lazy to move his arse down to where i work. Ha. So i've been a contented, happy child because i've had the pleasure of having lunch with lovely people for the past week.
Finally re-appeared at alumni on sat after an extended "break" (well not really-- i had stuff on) of 3 weeks. I hardly think i should continue singing there, actually. Voice is a mere shadow of what it used to be. For the 1st time ever, i was singing with a HORRENDOUS zipper on my higher register-- i was appalled, to say the least. That's what a lack of proper singing over an extended period of time does for you. -sigh- Then there was the class bbq after that, which was v nice, because i got to see them people i haven't had the chance of seeing in ages! Food was incredibly bad, though. The chicken marinate was sweet, and erm, well. There basically wasn't much else to eat. Lots of alcohol tho', erm and way too much smoking for my liking. Nonetheless i enjoyed myself immensely! I do miss the class, actually. Despite all the shite we've gone through, i think we truly enjoy ourselves when we're all together. And that's a blessing indeed.
A selection of photos-- pity i forgot all about my cam during dinner. didn't manage to get photos of everyone before a lot of 'em left. chuh. :(
==========
And did i forget to mention? I've finally got meself a new phone! Its bye-bye to the 8310, which chooses to switch off/hang etc etc as and when it likes. Gah. And hell-lloooo to my precioussss new 7250. It RAWKS big time. Woo!

{Ice Ice BABY}
Have discovered a new love-- Inniskillin Riesling Icewine. Omg. Its heavenly, i tell you. Lychee martinis?! What are THOSE?!
Gaaah. New job is not particularly fantastic. Teeny tiiiny firm in comparison to the one i last worked at. Really, teeny teeny teeeny tiiiny. Which is bad, because i can't like slip away unnoticed for like 10-15 min loo breaks (just to slack-- HAHAHA) anymore! -cry- Hur. Joking, i was. A lot more work to do here-- on top of the mind numbingly joyless tasks eg: digging through shelves to find files and file documents, i've got to type out actual legal documents now! Oof. So today i did a writ of summons and like started on a summons for a divorce petition and tomorrow i've gotta do a sfd under order 37, amongst other things-- one of which is learn how to handle ms excel proficiently. And also to handle the legal software programmes which run under excel. Suck! Lemme just say this: I've never, ever done so much as open an excel document in my life, so i think my rate of learning has to be exponential, to say the least. :( The secretaries are all pretty nice, i think the lawyers are too, but well, the only downside is that in a firm that's this small, you're not gonna have many (or any, for that matter) pupils around. No nice young-ish people to talk to. No nice young-ish people to have lunch with. I predict a lonely and sad 2 months ahead of me. But thankfully the very gentlemanly (hur), supremely wonderfully nice ty actually bothered to drive all the way from home to my office to take me out to lunch at orchard despite him being on leave!!! He is too, too kind. Was really v touched, i have to say. I'm truly glad that i've been blessed enough to have been able to make friends with at least 2 people in that other firm. I'd never have imagined that happening, really.
Finally going to take my basic theory test tmr-- ha. If i fail, i will erm, eat my shoe or something. Haha. Aaron, you'd better study eh? Hurhur.

{A Whirligig-- that is my MIND}
My mind's all a-whirly, i'm confused and restless. The worst thing is, the thoughts that plague my mind have to be faced alone-- talking to anyone about it is simply out of the question.
I feel so unsettled, flummoxed-- its so bad its pathetic, really. Someone help me. -screech-
Work starts again next tuesday. New law firm, and the process of integrating starts all over again. I really hate that, y'know? The small talk, the fake smiles and all that crap. It gets on my nerves. Gawwwd. -insert appropriate screwed up expression here-
Maybe its just that time of the month for me, eh? Ha.
To top it off, my trip overseas to shanghai with a few friends is canned, i think (folks if you're reading this now lemme just say this-- the parentals are adamantly refusing to lemme go anywhere near china/hk at the mo'. and frankly, amazingly i have to agree with them! maybe oz eh?). DANG that atypical pneumonia virus.
Dinner with tobs, tris, see, ollie and wj was good-- although i must say, we have to stop consuming cheap alcohol by the gallons eh. Its baaaad i tell you. And especially so when you wake up the next morning at 7am with the mother + father of all hangovers. Its crapawful. But its a bit hard not to drink- not when tobs has like a freezer unit full of liquor in his house. Ho. I'm happy to see See (hur) with her new man. She looks positively radiant. Its a nice thing to see what love can do for a person.
Thankfully i managed to abstain from them drinks during dinner on thurs with eugene, ty and puj. Ty's a bit (waiiit-- make that a LOT) of a pervy man, now we know. Eugene's a bit of a meanie (hahaha) and Puj's a bit of a poor thing-- all those little horrors to teach + all those insults and salacious jibes from them 2 men too! Goodly dinner treat at chijmes, i'm glad we didn't drink because i think we were rowdy enough despite being sober. But ah well-- celebrations were in order for ty and eugene because they've both been retained by that law firm! Good on them. So now i hope i can get free legal help from them 2 if ever i need it. (yes me, the eternal cheapskate.) Because i most definitely cannot afford the $160 ++ /hr they bill their clients for their services (but then again, that's just for DISCOVERY!!! Oof. what about other stuff eh?! Does it go into the $200+ region?!). -faints- Mivril i'm expecting the same from you eh, when you become some hotshot lawyer chick (+ well versed in latin etc etc to boot. Woo!). You must always remember the groupie, yes? hurhur.

{Life Changing Events}
Well, to put it simply-- got crap shite grades for 'a's, at least by my standards. But surprisingly tho', i'm alright with it. I find solace in this--
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." ~Philippians 4: 6-7
Enough said, yes? :)
And the best thing is, i'm pretty sure about what i want to do with my life now. Or well, at least i've narrowed down the courses i want to take to about 3-4 instead of like 7-8 previously. hur! Prior to the release of the results, i've been stuck in limbo, pondering over my future and what i should do. But now, it seems quite clear to me, and that's another thing i thank God for. Law is still most definitely my first choice, but i'll also be more than content if i have to settle for my 2nd/3rd choices instead! So that's good.
And my hair is short now! Well, not exactly short, but much, much shorter. And highlighted with like a craploada colours. Hrm. And no-one's screamed in horror at the new 'do so i suppose all is well. Mambo night at Zouk with may, aaron, and alvin was tres fun! Funky music, and met some great people there too, ie: pam, shaun, alex, maxi + bf, and even classmates. Pity aaron and alvin refused to hit the dance floor (well at least alvin did eventually haha but NO dancing! Whyyyeee!?), and pity may and i had our fair share of annoying pick-me-uppers from various fugly sad sad men. Urrgh.
Also, spoke to mivril on the phone yesterday! hahaha waaaahhheey its great talking to me rawk star again. heh. get your own net connection soon, woman!
And ry, if you're reading this, forget about what was said on the phone on thursday. We'll talk it out some other time, after your term prep and stuff righty. Good luck, my dear. And thanks for everything, despite everything. Hur. -hugs-

{Supporting Them Losing Teams...
}
Been really going out quite a bit these past few days-- trying to make the most of the last few days before the release of the dreaded results. A few other unpleasant things have also cropped up recently, so its not been too pleasant a time for poor ole me. (hur) Having a hectic schedule (whether be it work or play) somewhat helps to keep my mind off all these gawdawful matters, but still tho', i feel a little empty and v worried in spite of my desperate attempts to occupy meself with other things. But anyhow, enought about that---
Esprit's recent sales are v good-- finally bought those jeans i've been hunting around for + 2 other pairs of pants, all at 70% discounts. Goody, goody, gumdrops, i must say! Hur. Met up with may and aaron for dinner after alumni on saturday, and after which we traipsed to the Esplanade to pick up those brouchures featuring none other than US (massive advertising, i'm doing) in it (haha). Met my long-lost jiemei boaz on the way there, and he eventually joined us for drinks at coffee bean much later on. Feet are blistering and peeling in a bad way at the mo'-- because i foolishly wore my 3 inch heels out for dinner, not expecting to walk much, when in actual fact we walked an insane distance from city hall all the way to the esplanade, and then all the way to the extreme end of boat quay. GAAAAH. I'm not one to complain about walking (nudge nudge may) but those heels were lethal killers to walk in i swear! Excruciating pain-- nasty nasty things they are. Whoever invented the high heel?! And more importantly, why do i keep wearing them?!
Sunday night was spent at aaron's house along with alvin-- watching the clash between man utd and liverpool. Auugh. Naturally, being the jinx that i am, i had to see my team LOSE 2-0 to liverpool. Nasty nasty nasty!!! And then to top it off, barely 2 hrs later, my beloved inter lost to juve 3-0. WTF man. WTF. And of course a few people whom i used to work with taunted me to no end about the man u/pool match. Bleedin' lawyers. Hrrmph. V sore about it all. But no matter, it was fun hanging out w the guys (+ aaron's lovely kitty cat Chloe, who slept on a chair next to the bed the whole night. CUTEEEE!) despite the v unfavourable match results. btw aaron if you're reading this pls send me those photos we took right! thankeee v much.
And then today was spent sleeping away the morning (obv-- since hardly slept at aaron's house due to late night tv viewing), teaching the choir in the afternoon, and dinner with eugene and puja at hard rock cafe. Hrm. Haven't been to HRC since, well, forever, but surprisingly the food is still pretty good. Was v v kind and goodly of eugene to treat us to the meal-- feel pretty quilty abt the treat since he wasn't supposed to but ah well. Will buy him dinner some other time i suppose. Its v amusing being ard puj and eugene because they both make me laugh a whole damn lot. pity puja's beloved, charming, racist-rafflesian (muahahahaha he's not really racist, fyi) couldn't join us tho. He missed out on a loada fun! Anyhow-- stuffed to bits from dinner and am suddenly feeling v sleepy + phone is buzzing with about 9 messages coming through (is so weird: phone goes thru this protracted period of time with nary a msg, and then they ALL suddenly come in at some unholy hour/time) so blogging stops here for now.
======
This may also very well be my last day with long hair for a very long time-- for better or for worse, cortaré mi pelo mañana (have made appointment and everything already so i can't back out)!!! Still thinking of how much hair i wanna shear off... I hope it'll turn out well, but then again, part of me hopes it'll end up looking like SHITE because then i'll really have an excuse for not going back to ac to thurs to collect my results. Oof.

{Jobless for Less than a Day}
So my last day as an attache at the law firm was on friday. Was v pleasantly surprised to receive some $$$ from them-- apparently they're not as heartless as i thought they were. Shame on me for thinking that they were! Haha. Riiight. Also, finally had my 2nd lunch treat at the Cricket Club *awed look*, much to the horror of puja who missed out on it, the poor soul. Pity she wasn't there tho', because this girl felt incredibly, supremely, amazingly out of place due to the fact that:
1) yours truly was the only female present (amongst 4 males-- two of which i've hardly spoken more than 1 sentence to)
2) was also the only person at table under 25 years of age
3) couldn't behave like the usual slob that i am (hahaha) when i was eating
4) ate the BLOODY MOST for lunch, and in view of the 1st 2 points that's v v v embarassing. Gaaaaah. (i still cringe at the thought)
Will miss working with some people, definitely. Its been fandabidozi getting to know them, i tell you. I'd have been bored witless if not for the likes of them! Anyhow-- puja and myself were given farewell sunflowers by 2 v v v nice chaps. Lovely!
Met up with tris, ollie, see, wj, ian and m.ling last night (in celebratory mood cuz no more work)-- club hopped a bit, was good fun but nothing particularly exciting happened. Music was so-so, had only 3 drinks *pats self on back* the entire night. Of course, See drank about a dozen and was soooo piss drunk at the end of it all that myself, ollie and tris had to bring her home. Ended up staying over at her place, and poor ollie and tris had to sleep on her living room floor while us 2 girls slept in the room. Hur.
======
So now it seems i've only got 1 job to handle (ie: the choir instructor job), but lo and behold! One of them lady lawyers from church needs help at her firm. Just got her call today. And methinks i'm going to be drafted in to help. Oh man. Where is my life of faineance, where, where?! I want to wake up late in the mornings! I don't want to have to squeeeeze myself in a jam-packed mrt during peak hours! Gaaah. On the bright side tho', if i do take up this job i'll actually be paid something close to decent wages and that's a great improvement over the previous firm (hurhur see how unappreciative i am). Anyhow-- being the kind, kind person (ha!) that i am, i'll probably help her out because apparently her firm's in desperate need for staff. Plus its another good chance for me to learn more about law in general so well, that should be useful too.
And the horror! I've been given a part that's a little too significant for my liking (ie: i can't quit halfway, which was what i've been planning to do if things crop up) in the upcoming church musical. I find it highly ironic that i'm always getting things that i'm not keen on, and when it comes to things that i really yearn for i hardly ever get them! But then again, i think most people on this planet have probably encountered that problem as well (haha that's the story of life). So now i've got to commit to this musical too, on top of many, many other things. I feel like i'm being suffocated-- i need some time and space for myself!
Anyhow, please do come and watch THIS (ain't the photo nice? haha of course-- its our batch. hoho). Its gonna be absolutely brilliant, i'm tellin' you! And its at the Esplanade, no less! =D If you want/need to book tickets and you know my number-- please do drop me a message or something, yes? :)

Met up with tris, ollie, see, wj, ian and m.ling last night (in celebratory mood cuz no more work)-- club hopped a bit, was good fun but nothing particularly exciting happened. Music was so-so, had only 3 drinks *pats self on back* the entire night. Of course, See drank about a dozen and was soooo piss drunk at the end of it all that myself, ollie and tris had to bring her home. Ended up staying over at her place, and poor ollie and tris had to sleep on her living room floor while us 2 girls slept in the room. Hur.
So now it seems i've only got 1 job to handle (ie: the choir instructor job), but lo and behold! One of them lady lawyers from church needs help at her firm. Just got her call today. And methinks i'm going to be drafted in to help. Oh man. Where is my life of faineance, where, where?! I want to wake up late in the mornings! I don't want to have to squeeeeze myself in a jam-packed mrt during peak hours! Gaaah. On the bright side tho', if i do take up this job i'll actually be paid something close to decent wages and that's a great improvement over the previous firm (hurhur see how unappreciative i am). Anyhow-- being the kind, kind person (ha!) that i am, i'll probably help her out because apparently her firm's in desperate need for staff. Plus its another good chance for me to learn more about law in general so well, that should be useful too.
And the horror! I've been given a part that's a little too significant for my liking (ie: i can't quit halfway, which was what i've been planning to do if things crop up) in the upcoming church musical. I find it highly ironic that i'm always getting things that i'm not keen on, and when it comes to things that i really yearn for i hardly ever get them! But then again, i think most people on this planet have probably encountered that problem as well (haha that's the story of life). So now i've got to commit to this musical too, on top of many, many other things. I feel like i'm being suffocated-- i need some time and space for myself!
Anyhow, please do come and watch THIS (ain't the photo nice? haha of course-- its our batch. hoho). Its gonna be absolutely brilliant, i'm tellin' you! And its at the Esplanade, no less! =D If you want/need to book tickets and you know my number-- please do drop me a message or something, yes? :)
