internship.
working life has been quite an experience, coupled with this being the legal profession. the workload’s been heavy, the hours long and the work draining, but i am enjoying myself. its an all-new experience for me, having never worked in an office proper before and my boss being particularly nice! plus the office has a great view of marina bay and the new downtown.
anyhow meeting up with friends this week has been very fruitful too, so its always a nice respite amidst the monotony of work, so let’s see: dinner with geri on monday, lunch with kelly on tuesday, dinner with adriel on wednesday and lunch with the boss on friday. i can’t say the work’s easy but its enjoyable and its just a small indication of what is to come. working in a small firm has its advantages, like learning more from your mentor and having greater exposure to different practice areas, and then there’s the welfare bits like not fighting with one another for the coffee machine in the pantry.
it’ll be a busy june for me, internship till next friday, then css foc starts the very next day on saturday till the following friday, then there’s law camp the following following week. how i treasure the weekends now haha but as they all say, you asked for it. and of course there’s holiday to look forward to in july where i want to travel travel travel, any takers?
niagara falls.
hello! from niagara falls, ontario, canada
and from the city of boston, massachusetts, usa
and who can resist, new york city
leaving on a jet plane.
pretty much says it all, i’ll be on a plane in an hour and be off for ten days, see you all next week! happy holidays everyone.
happy.
after a long hard sunday of mugging and attempting to comprehend abstract theories, it was nice to go for supper with a good friend whom i’ve not seen in a long while. now that her exams are over, she’s all chirpy, jolly and happy, as she embarks on her four month long vacation. i can’t wait for my turn to come, to say with a straight face that i’m happy. thank you friend for your company.
on a similar if not totally irrelevant note, i use clinique’s happy for men! haha
tofu and lentils.
i had a lovely lunch with adriel and kester at the original sin, over in chip bee gardens, this afternoon.
its been some time since i’ve had the opportunity to treat myself to a decent lunch in the good company of ‘old’ friends. my first time at original sin and its hard to imagine how vegetarian gourmet food could actually taste that good. its always nice to meet friends whom you’ve not seen in a while, and its especially refreshing to see people from another school, period. anyhow i really look forward to the end of exams where i will indulge in coffee, cake and a good book on a normal day.
but for now, its back to reality and i shall steer clear of dreaming of distant holiday plans and concentrate on dworkin and mckendrick instead.
defences.
its funny how people can get all defensive when you make the slightest remark at them. i suppose we’re all guilty of it and that’s the very reason why i like building four walls around me and being oblivious to every other happening around me. and this is in no relation to school, if you’re wondering.
on a similar note, singpost has rapidly responded to my email of complaint. call that good service or what, but i was expecting a token as well haha fat hope eh.
work-wise, this week’s been nothing more than mugging in the lonely corners of the library, but i like it. occasionally it gets irritating when people just plop up in front and share the table without asking, then they sit there eating drinking and making merry all right next to a sign that says shhhhh….
state of mind.
