And It's the Christmas Season again. (:

It's going to be Christmas soon, again! I can still remember what I did for Christmas last year, me and my babies went to Singapore and the Christmas decos there are gorgeous! So sad that i'll missed it this year :( money is really running tight for me. I remembered that we went to baby tian's house for Christmas eve celebration where we exchange gifts and had drinking session too. The Christmas gift I received is still well kept on my bed. It's a cute white doll dressed with a santa hat and a scarf!

Well, this year round...we didn't have the chance to go anywhere out of KL, but I guess it's not a bad thing. There are sales everywhere, and ofcourse every shopping mall has its own unique Christmas decos. I'm not very satisfied with this year's decos though, I felt that it's not very special (or is it because I getting more "cerewet"?) Nontheless, I can't deny that the Christmas atmosphere is definitely on the air!

Here are some snapshots of different malls' Christmas decos.

Since everyone is in a Christmas mood (well, perhaps the 4 of us - Rowena, Jilly, Zizi and me) we even had a pre-Christmas dinner at The Curve. Theme colour - Red, Dress Code - Santa Hat. The four of us look like SantaRinas! (:

We had dinner at Paddington House of Pancakes and we were sooo noisy, I bet everyone inside there can hear us! We took lots of pictures too, and thank God the staff there are willing to help us! (:

I can't wait for Christmas! I'm blessed to have my lovely babies to celebrate this day with me.

I also thank God for giving us the greatest gift on earth on this blessed day.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16)

I would like to share with u guys my favourite Christmas carol :

Christmas Isn't Christmas, Till It Happens In Your Heart.

Christmas isn't Christmas
Till it happens, in your heart,

Somewhere deep inside you,

Is where Christmas really starts.

So give your heart to Jesus,

You'll discover when you do,

That it's Christmas,

Really Christmas, for you.

Jesus brings warmth like a winter fire,

A light like a candle's glow,

He's waiting now to come inside,

As He did so long ago.

Jesus brings gifts of truth and life,

And makes them bloom and grow

So welcome Him with a song of joy

And when He come you will know...that...

Christmas isn't Christmas,

Till it happens in your heart,

Somewhere deep inside you

Is where Christmas really starts.

So give your heart to Jesus,

You'll discover when you do,

That it's Christmas,

Reall Christmas, for you.

Irreconcilable Differences.

As time goes by, I'm sure everyone will know more people, made friends with new people and their social circle would expand. It's a never ending cycle where we will always get to know more and more people. But getting to know that and actually being friends with them is of course a different story all together.

For the past few years, ofcourse I get to know more people, and I'm blessed that some of them turn out to be my true friends. But of course, there were some mistakes in the past as well, people whom I counted on as friends ended up, well...to be the opposite. Like I said before, it takes time to really know a person's true colour. If you're lucky, it would be revealed in 1-2 years time.

In an unfortunate situation...it may take, well 4-5 years.

The truth that we found out was distasteful. Very,very ugly. It's so unacceptable. I even felt disgusted.But because of our longstanding years of friendship, we tried to put this behind us. Really. We did tried. And for the past few months, despite knowing the truth, everything seems to be back to normal. Although there were times where there was a hint of sarcasm when we talked to her... but, I sincerely thought all of us manage to put this all behind us.


But...it didn't.

I'm not sure whether it's because of the fact that we found out the truth that drove all of us apart. Or that the truth kind of triggered us to realised how very different we all really were. The so-called bond that we used to have since our secondary school days seems to have just vanished in mere months. It's like we can no longer have a proper conversation together.

I truly wish that our group wouldn't split up anymore. The same scenario occured about 3 years ago, still leave a bitter taste in me. And I don't want the same to occur again. I tried mending things, I attempted an outing between all of us. But, it just didn't turn out well. In fact, it just proved that our differences are no longer reconcilable.

There are so many things about them that we can't accept anymore, and no doubt...there are some part of us that they find unworthy too.

We had tried avoiding this for months, but it seems that we can no longer avoid the inevitable. It's even more apparent now that I have to accept the fact, that our group is definitely getting smaller. I just don't want to have another confrontation.

I don't deny that I preferred the way we are now. It's just that I don't think I can handle it getting smaller anymore.

So please, my dear friends. Please let it stay the way it is now.

Highland Trip with the Girls.

As mentioned in my previous post, I get to know some girls in my class better recently -- Jilly, Zizi and Sarah..and last Weds was our 1st trip together. Rowena was suppose to join us too..but she ffk us last minute. >.<

Well, it did not started off well cause the bus tickets were already sold out for the entire day! After discussing for a while, we decided to take the cab up and it costs us each RM45 -- 2 ways.

Then once we reached there, we purchased our outdoor theme park ticket which costs us another RM44 per person. Since it was sooo bloody pack that day, we only manage to get on 4 rides (which did not include the solero thingie and corkscrew!)

Well, the weather was sooo HOT that day! Although we're on the top of a mountain, but it's just too sunny and we barely felt cold at all! We also felt a little bit out of place when we stepped into the outdoor themepark, why? because we realised that we were surrounded by high schoolers and families. *sigh* can no longer deny the fact that we're getting older, it can only be compensated by the fact that we're all getting wiser as well.. (:

Despite such feelings, it won't stop us from acting really crazy there and toook lots of pics~

Zizi, myself and Sarah.

Us with the London Bus.

I like this! (:




I love taking candid shots!

Both these pics look perfect! Cause we took multiple shots of this! hehee

Pengada Zi

Sarah Kate.

We left Genting abour 4pm and head down to Sg Wang for dinner and some shopping. It was a greaat day! Looking forward for more outings with them!

woosh. it has been quite some time since i last update my blog! this week had been a super BUSY week! well, there's lots of stuff to update.

For the past few weeks, I actually get to know some of my new CLP classmates better -- Jilly, Zizi and Sarah Kate.

Jilly -- Rowena's friend from Cardiff. She's very pretty and almost as noisy and loud as Rowena!

Zizi & Sarah -- The two hot girls, almost never without each other and they always "mengada"!

Since our college lets us off one week earlier for Christmas, we are sooo pump up to have day trips!

Yesterday Jilly, Zizi, Sarah and I went to Genting (Rowena didn't go cause she last min FFK!)

Then today Jilly, Rowena, Baby Jan and me went to Melaka for another day trip *woo hoooo*

There are lotsss of photos which I'll upload next time, cause I'm tooo tired now as I gotta get up early tomorrow as well.

I'm really glad to get to know some of my classmates better, they are all very fun to hang out with! (:

I Graduated!

Finally, I'm now officially a law graduate! Well, actually I knew it since last August since our results were out then, but then...after going through the convocation ceremony then only it will seems more real, right?

Well, I know initially I'm not really in the mood for convo. I felt kind of dull about the whole thing. But, well..that feeling definitely change on convo day itself.

On the 8.12.09 was our convo day and we were all suppose to gather at the Plenery Hall (KLCC Convention Centre) at 930am for rehearsal. The main purpose was just arrange all of us, to make sure we know where we stand etc. I ended up beside Vanessa. The girl that I always sit together with in class since A-Lvl.

After that, we can collect our robes and go home. For me, after collecting my robe, I went to Shu Umera counter in Isetan for a makeover. Well, since I'm not an expert in putting on make up, I better leave it to the expert, and of course it costs me RM as well. It's not that expensive, RM70, it's quite acceptable and I like the make up she did for me.

Rushed home after that to freshen up and of course take pics with my family.

That's me. Fully robed. With my graduation flowers. I love the flowers a lot, cause it has purple colour on it and it's HUGE!

Me, gorgor,mommy and daddy. *missing jie*

Daddy then drove all of us to KLCC. I'm suppose to reach there by 430pm fully robe. And everything happened in a rush! Rush here, rush there..to take pics, make sure our robes are not lopsided and our mortar board is not too lose etc.etc.

Vanessa and I after collecting our scrolls.

SuSean,HuiWen.

Bro Lim and Jian.

Fufu (:

Dear Justin and Me. I'm sooooo touched that he was there that night. (:

After the ceremony, all of us need to head to the Banquet Hall to take our class photo. It takes us forever to line up and to wait. And finally....we took our class photo where we wave our mortar board in the air! (supposedly we have to throw it into the air, BUT...the photographer just asked us to waved it! )

Then after that we took lots of individual pictures too. There are just toooo many pics and I'm a bit lazy to upload it all here (but it's all on my FB) Then most of the girls then rush to the ladies to change into our dinner wear.

Mr Reuben with the girls. I love this pic!

Ms Meera. She's the one that made it possible for me to achieve an A for my Company Law. Thank you, Ms Meera! (:

LiHong - My IP "sifu"

My dear aunt, uncle and cousins came as well.

Throughout the 3 years of my LL.B course, I learnt A LOT. I understand more about law, its applicability, how to argue it out. The more I learned, the more certain I know that being a lawyer is what I want for future. Not only that, many lecturers had become a real source of inspiration.

Looking back at what I had done for the past 3 years, I'm quite proud to say that I have no regrets. I manage to enjoy myself thoroughly without compromising my education. I always believe in studying hard and partying hard. The more I party, the more I study because I knew that some of my peers may be using the time studying whilst I'm out there getting tipsy.

Of course, knowing how to draw the line is very extremely important. There were times I felt that I crossed the border, but thank God it didn't affect my result. I knew that once my result is affected, I can no longer turn back the time.

Even more crucial is that for the past three years, God's presence had became more apparent to me too. He constantly guide me through everything and I thank the Lord for blessing me with great results. I know that the Lord love each and everyone of us so much, and that He will answer our prayers, if we ask Him without doubt.

But of course, I know we can't just simply ask without any effort in our part.

I am proud of what I had achieved today, but I know that I still have a long way to go.

My next aim? Is to complete my CLP in ONE SITTING! If possible, to get another 2:1 in CLP.

And after that? It's either LL.M or start my pupillage.

So my subsequent aim in future (for the short run) is to complete my LL.M and to be called to the Bar in the next 2-3 years.

I still have sooo soooo much to accomplish. Knowing that fact, yet I'm still here blogging instead of studying my Civil Procedure!

Well, that's all for now. Convo-fever is over. It's time to really BUCK UP and STUDY! wish me luck! *crossed fingers*

Crapping at 4.15am.

it's now 4.15am. i'm so so tired! why am i still awake then? Thanks to MrKJ's weekly test. although it's just a test, but i'll feel guilty if i dont even try to revise. so here am i, at 4 something in the freaking morning.

i'm sooo glad that our college is letting us off one week earlier! *woooots* this is the 1st time for the last 4 years we actually had 3 weeks break! previously is only about 1 week + only for holidays like Raya/Chinese New Yr/Deepavali. we were sooo pump up to have a trip somewhere, but the problem is we can't seem to be able to decide where to go!

well, i just want to go SOMEWHERE! everyone seems to be going everywhere! Wendy is now in Taiwan, Vanessa is going off to Bali next Monday, my sister is still in New York (i miss her so badly!), Jan going to Singapore to meet her bf , LiHong going to Bangkok and SueAnne going to Japan again soon. Seems like i'm the only one that's stuck in old KL. :(

well, i'm currently trying to fill up my Christmas holidays!
can't wait to go high tea with my babies! this would be the 1st time we go high tea together (since winnie is complaining that our only activity is clubbing...) and shopping and taking lotsssss of pics!

aiks. enough crapping already...gotta go back to my sentencing notes. :(

Convo?

tomorrow is my Convocation day. somehow, i still have not feel any excitement about it yet, despite people around me had been buzzing with excitement. last sunday when i was in the ladies (as usual, the best gossiping spot in college) they were discussing about their heels. because for the last few years, without fail there would be a few people that would slipped/fall whilst walking on the stage to collect their scroll, and most of them were girls. (i myself witnessed it) and the worst one was when this girl fall towards those V.I.Ps sitting in front. good thing it was on one of our lecturers instead of the judges. so the girls in the ladies were discussing about bringing their heels for the rehearsal to try.....and it goes on and on and something about dresses as well.

sigh. maybe it is because 2 of my close friends are not coming for Convo. so just me and Vanessa. and the fact that this whole Convo cost me and my dad lots of money. (well, mostly my dad lah)

yea, i know it's a one in a lifetime event, so i should really, really enjoy that moment.

maybe i will when i'm actually there itself. hhmmm.

The Taste of Losing.

i have to admit that i'm the type of person that can accept losing easily. maybe throughout these years, i didn't really face situation where i truly felt that i'm totally losing out. for the past 5 years, i'm quite socially active. i hang out often with my friends. i had a permanent part time job which can support my occasional yamcha sessions, clubs, birthday celebrations and pubs. i did fairly well for my education, in fact...i'm proud to say that i had finally finished my degree programme. :) it was part of my "kiasu-ness" and the fact that i need to "keep face" that kind of motivated me to study harder as well. (of course i love what i'm studying as well lah..)

but lately, my self-confidence had kind of shattered. i realised that, maybe i'm not as good as i always i thought. i finally had a real taste of losing, and it's not sweet at all. i keep asking myself, what is lacking in me? wasn't i good enough? i did a lot of self-reflection, and there is only one possible conclusion, i'm just now good enough. nothing complicated.

although i felt slightly bitter, but i'm going to take it as a lesson to learn. there are many parts of me that needs improvement.

there's still so, so, so much for me to learn.

and today, we had our 1st lectures on ethics. in a way, it inspires me to go into litigation even more. and it really changes my initial perception towards practitioners. it just shows how naive i was. and, really..it's a non-stop learning process. i'm already now looking forward to the day to be called! :)
