I'm leaving on a jet plane

Keng, keng, keng (only one person would chuckle at this =P)
U missed a really yummy din din yesterday.. Hope you enjoyed your 'steamboat' at work ;P

*Sigh* I'm leaving tomorrow =(
I'm gonna miss home so so much. Thank God I had 4 months with my family though.

Time passes super fast man, err which is good right?
Which means I'm coming home soon right?
Goods, goods =P

Remember thinking to myself how wonderful it was going to study abroad; no parents = no nagging, no curfew, no extra worries, etc...


It actually took my awhile to figure out that there's no place like home lerr...

Lawyer me?

So, this woman comes up to you and tells you that her hubby owes this company super alot of money and now Mr. Co wants his money but Mr. Hubby can't cough it up.
Mr. Co decides to seize Mr. Hubby's and Mrs. Wife's property, sell it and get his cash. Okay, thing it Mrs. Wife has huge collection of antiques which she inherited and she's afraid Mr. Co will take that away from her.
Mrs. Wife now asks you, "So how?" =(

Nope, this is not a Property Law examination.. It's the lawyer, which I'm attached with's client. Using my lawyer's draft as a guide, I am to type out an injuction to stop Mr.Co from seizing ppty belonging to Mrs. Wife.
What's an injunction? Don't know but coolness right...

Okay, here goes my sob story of how I didn't want to read law but having a Chinaman for a father and obeying the 5th Commandment I studied law convincing myself that I would NEVER practice. Goodbye to the CLP and the BVC.

And then tell dad I'm holidaying when he asks me to go to Uncle Gideon's (dad's lawyer friend). When there's only 3 weeks left before I leave, gave the green light to dad and said, "Only 2 weeks cuz I hafta pack" *sigh* (excuses, excuses).
And does my plan backfire? Like duH ! I'm actually enjoying myself?!?!
Yes I am.. unfortunately? Not really cuz even though I do not plan to practice, at least I've dipped my toes into the legal world.

I started yesterday.
Met Uncle Gideon and he asks, "What do you want to do?".
I could choose to either:
do conveyancing (sit down in front of comp, draw out Sale and Purchase Agreement, meet client, sign agreement, go to the Stamp Office, fax letters, file documents, blah blah blah...)
or litigation (translate affidavits, draft injunctions, do research, stay back in the office till wee hours in the morning, go to court, hush hush hush...).
And being me, I tend to get myself into 'trouble' ie wanna be different, don't wanna play safe.
So I told Uncle Gideon, "Litigation".
He nods head and says, "Good, it will be exciting from here onwards.
And I'm thinking, "S**t, s**t, s**t, I'm so dead".
He continues, "The next 2 weeks are p&c".
My turn to nod head.
Thus, I will not be able to yackety-yack about those 'exciting cases' going on right now.

I was then given an affidavit which I had to translate it into BM. BM?? I can't even say one proper sentence !! Oooh, trouble has begun...
Huge English legal terms dictionary --> BM on my left, an Oxford English dictionary --> BM on my right and an 8 page affidavit on my lap...
Okay, START !

Continued translating today, finished it, printed it and putted?? it on lawyer's desk. Did some research on the 'up coming' case I mentioned above; research = look for previously decided cases and Statutes to support arguments, just like in the exams, only.. answers starring right at ya ;P
Will meet Mr. Hubby tomorrow when he comes to sign the injunction form in the morning.
I wish I could tell you more but you never know who might be reading this.
*discretion discretion*

Hhmmm.. of all the jobs I've had, the proper 'working in an office' environment is what I find myself liking most.
The bad thing is though, a litigator can only wear black and white (note: it ain't and/or) ie white top + black pants/skirt + black jacket/blazer + see-no-toe black shoes or black (printstripe, if you were me ;P) dress + black jacket/blazer + see-no-toe black shoes. And this is the only way one can wear it. Cuz litigators go to court. *chokes*
On the days where you are court-free, you can wear whatever lerr.. However, observation tells me some litigators tend to get so lazy with colours that they stick to the boring b&w.

Yoong pities me.. I pity me too =(
So it's buh-bye to boring b&w and hello colourful world in 3 weeks time.

Ciaozz babes, me bed'z calling.

Who are you anyway?

Why does my life revolve around you?
Why do I rely on you to make me happy?
Why do I become depress when you're not by my side?
What right do you have to make me feel that I'm worthless without you?
Who are you anyway?


Why do I still cling on to you?
Why do you make me come back for more?
Do you derive pleasure from this?
Who do you think you are anyway?

What's worse, I'm not the only one.
Some have even died because of you.
Do you enjoy watching us suffer?
What do you get out of this?
Satisfaction? Gratification?
You’re heartless and depraved, that’s what you are.
You don’t deserve to be a who !

Why did you introduce yourself to my grandmother?
Why did you stick to my mum?
Are you celebrating the fact that my aunt succumbed to you too?
Why do you keep haunting me?
What do you want?

What are you?

Would you ever let me go?
Would you ever have the heart to?
How could you, you’re a what.
A what has no feelings, no remorse.


You're a nobody.
You feed off our emotions.
You cannot exist without our insecurities.
You need us more than we need you.
You're a low-life scumbag.

I hate you; I hate you for ruining my life.
How could I not hate you even though I know you delight in that fact.
Hate is what you are made of.

I don't need you !
Leave me alone !

Go away !
I don't need you !

More complaining

I'm so tired of looking at my boring ol' blog day in and day out.
It's too.. bare, too white
I've attempted to change it so many freaking times that I've lost count.
Attempted cuz I've never got it right.. Not once.
It's always all messed up all over the place.
This overlapping on that, and everything doesn't make sense anymore.
Those HTML codes are killing me.

Therefore, I'll just take the easy way out - a template code that's already written out for mua.
Boring but nice. Simple and not so.. white.

Or maybe I'm just too free and am done with bumming around.
It's 5am and I've got to meet Cheryl Pola at 8:45am.
Just wonderful.


The thought of starting work on Monday doesn't seem to excite me though...
Oh well, this is Cheryl for you !
I myself do not understand her.. you probably shouldn't bother either.


So, how's super duper ultra pink for ya? ;P

Sleep position gives personality clue

Got this from BBC News off the internet.
If you want an insight into somebody's true personality, then try to catch a glimpse of the way they sleep. See the six positions studied by Professor Idzikowski.

The Foetus (41%)
Those who curl up in the foetus position are described as tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. They may be shy when they first meet somebody, but soon relax.
This is the most common sleeping position, adopted by 41% of the 1,000 people who took part in the survey. More than twice as many women as men tend to adopt this position.

Log (15%)
Lying on your side with both arms down by your side. These sleepers are easy going, social people who like being part of the in-crowd, and who are trusting of strangers. However, they may be gullible.

The yearner (13%)
People who sleep on their side with both arms out in front are said to have an open nature, but can be suspicious, cynical. They are slow to make up their minds, but once they have taken a decision, they are unlikely ever to change it.

Soldier (8%)
Lying on your back with both arms pinned to your sides. People who sleep in this position are generally quiet and reserved. They don't like a fuss, but set themselves and others high standards.

Freefall (7%)
Lying on your front with your hands around the pillow, and your head turned to one side. Often gregarious and brash people, but can be nervy and thin-skinned underneath, and don't like criticism, or extreme situations.

Starfish (5%)
Lying on your back with both arms up around the pillow. These sleepers make good friends because they are always ready to listen to others, and offer help when needed. They generally don't like to be the centre of attention.

The remainder of those in the poll said the position they fell asleep varied or did not know.

Health effect
Professor Idzikowski also examined the effect of various sleeping positions on health.

He concluded that the freefall position was good for digestion, while the starfish and soldier positions were more likely to lead to snoring and a bad night's sleep.

Professor Idzikowski said: "Lying down flat means that stomach contents can more readily be worked back up into the mouth, while those who lie on their back may end up snoring and breathing less well during the night.
"Both these postures may not necessarily awaken the sleeper but could cause a less refreshing night's sleep."
The research also found that most people are unlikely to change their sleeping position. Just 5% said they sleep in a different position every night.

Duvet position
Professor Idzikowski also found that one arm or leg sticking out of the duvet is Britain's most common position, followed by both feet poking out the end.
One in ten people like to cover themselves entirely with the duvet.



I sleep in the feotal position most of the time with my duvet tucked under me all around and my face partly covered. Unless it's really hot then my leg or feet will decide to play peek-a-boo :P
Do tell me the way you usually sleep so I can access your personality k. Didn't you know I was naturally nosy? :D
