Eat Pray Love

CY did come to pick me up and we did watch the movie, just like how i had hoped for. Although, we did mess things up, but I cant deny how grateful and glad he came. At the same time, i felt very guilty cause i was using his revision time for him to take me out.

How was the movie? Well, it was exactly how i expected a Julia Roberts movie would be like. Classic. The movie had already started when we got in. It was a divorce scene. Urgh. When they showed the parts that Julia Robert's character was suffering in the relationship, i cried. Especially the part where the character narrated, that at least, she loved her husband enough to stick with him for that long despite all the quarrels. Somehow, it striked a chord in my heart.. Maybe coz i felt that the situation is quite similar to what i am facing...??? Always quarelling.... but never having the heart to end it. But i do hope, Cy, that we wouldnt have to take the same road as what the characters did. I hope that maybe we can overcome all this childishness and enjoy a proper relationship.

Anyways, i like the movie. Wouldnt mind watching it all over again. After Julia Robert's character (sorry, can't remember the name) divorced and decided to leave her entire messed up life in NY behind, she decided to take a trip to three beautiful places - Italy, India and Bali. Eat, pray and love. Yea, in that order.

Maybe the only deterimental side of this movie would be that it wasnt intense nor deep enough to my liking. Yes, the scenery was beautiful, the actors and actresses were amazing... but i think the story plot could have run alittle deeper. I guess that is the only thing i felt lacking. That aside, it was a nice show..

CY, thank you for lending me ur shoes to keep me warm and the countless of things you did that night.

I am really sorry this is a tough week for you. I will TRY to disturb you less this week tho tmr will already be the last day of ur exam..

Stop with the song lyrics as titles

OK. I think i am getting a habit of forming titles from song lyrics of late. To me, it's unoriginal so i have to cut the habit! Fyi, i was going to name this entry, "if i had to live my life without you really". LOL.

Actually, i just baked a carrot cake, thinking i could bring it tomorrow for Chiao Ying, Li Ly and Jolene for their belated birthday treat. Sadly, i have not been baking much lately and the cake was a failure, well, in my mother's eyes (or rather mouth).

Personally, i thought it was ok but it wasnt my best. The inside was a tad too moist and my mom complained that the cake lacked body. Besides that, i am out of walnuts and cream cheese.. 2 of the most important ingredients for my cake! My baking skills seriously needs to improve or i really have no face to bring any cakes for my friends anymore.. What with Jolene having a super great mooncake maker mom and a future chef as a boyfriend, V with his sharp tongue and all you guys la..

For the next few days and weeks, my life is really packed. Moot competition, ALSA national forum, Law career convention, VOX... urgh... all requires dedication.. it is not just a matter of deciding whether i want to go or not. It's a matter of giving my best as a part of the committee organising it! In this sense, i am not complaining. I guess i got the uni life i wished for. And i shall continue to load myself silly until i cannot take in anymore!

I really hope CY can finish his revision for his A2 trials next week. Then we can watch "Eat, Pray, Love" on Monday night. I really want to watch the movie. Especially after seing the video clip starring Julia Roberts today. I just know that any Julia Roberts movie will be a good one.

My health has been suffering for the past few days. Thank you to all my friends who have shown their concern.. I really do appreciate it, CY, Chiao Ying, V, and Jo Rene. There are still some things bothering me.. and i feel sinful as hell about it... Aiks!

wish i could feel your love once more

feeling emo and ill for the past few days.. dun ask me why, i just feel that way..

nausea, headaches, lethargy.. sigh..

not too forget, i feel overwhelmed by a subject too! I appreciate her efforts but i am having difficulty coping with her subject!

will i ever survive law school???

Already Gone

Let's see.

I spent my first week of holidays in Hong Kong with my mother and another week with the Japanese delegates traveling all over Melaka and Kuala Lumpur. This leaves me with barely a few days to study my lost Contract subject. I have not touched the book although i seriously need to.

Hong Kong was incredible! Although the weather was a little hot and humid, everything otherwise was practically perfect. I love HK food, (their noodles suit my taste, their desserts are splended, and not to forget, i tried AND love smelly tofu..) love their efficient transport system, and the most amazing thing i discovered was... their 6am is equivalent to our 8am brightness although we are in the same time zone. I think HK is perfect for me.. if i lived there, i can wake up at my normal 6.30am and know that i am not alone. Even the shops open at 7am! Lol.

I travelled almost half of HK all via MTR and tram. It was an eye-opening experience that i will never forget. For anyone looking to Hong Kong for a vacation, the must-go and must-haves are:

1. Tai Cheong egg tarts (make sure you eat it fresh!)

2. Mid-levels escalator

3. Aunty Sweet's durian bean curd jelly

4. Tram rides

5. The big buddha, Wong Tai Sin, and the many temples around the island

6. Their small stalls along the road that sells anything and everything

7. Wan tan mee (it's different from Malaysia's)

8. Ocean park

9. Smelly tofu @ Prince Edwards

I guess you really need to discover the beauty of HK yourself.. it's not easy to describe such an amazing country in just one single blog post. Initially, i wanted to dedicate a 3-entry post for my HK trip but due to the lack of free time during my 'holiday'... i decided not.

I shall now proceed to the ALSA UM-Japan Study trip.

Actually, the study trip is still on going. Tomorrow, it would be the table discussion at the law faculty involving the topic of ADR followed by the climax of the trip at Pearl International Hotel with the cultural night and the 'after-party'. Woohoo!

Today, we went to one of the biggest law firms in Malaysia, Shearn Delamore & Co. The place was no doubt impressive and it would be almost any lawyers dream to achieve partner status in a law firm of such prestige. They served us a finger-licking lunch and one of the partners was warm enough to offer to treat us at one of the local coffee shops around the area. I especially love their 'crispy cheese' tart and the satay. The japanese delegates taught us to say 'i nioi' and 'oishi'. Teehee.. I suppose you can guess what it means.. ;p

We also went to klrc, the arbitration centre in Malaysia.

And then, before yesterday, we went to Melaka for a 2 day trip there. The Baba Nyonya food, introduced by the Melakan students of ALSA was unforgettable. I enjoyed every dish served, especially the cendol. Yum!

Oh ya, Joshua, Vincent and I 'ponteng' part of the study trip to watch Resident Evil. The movie kept me on my feet in the later half part. The beginning was a little slow but that aside, i have no regret for watching. *Paiseh* I fell asleep a few times at the start (probably because i was too tired) and someone had to box me in the face a few times. Haha.. Nevertheless, like i said earlier, the later part was very exciting and the ending leaves us wondering when will the next RE will be released.

Something Mr Kent (he is a partner in Sheanr Delamore & Co btw) said has started me thinking..

A lawyer's job is to solve other peoples' problems, but the fact is, a lawyer is capable to solve other people's problems yet they themselves have many problems behind them (in their own life.) I was quite amused when i heard him say this and marvelled at how true it was. I think of all the lawyer people i know and perhaps he is right?

Today's trip to the law firm made me impressed on how successful lawyers can be, if only they know how much potential they truly have. But this trip has also made me wonder, how much lawyer substance do i really have?

In the Blink of an Eye

..it's just another day

..telling me why, I'll find another way

..got me feeling, got me reeling

..i can almost start believing

I loved yesterday's impromptu outing to KLCC. Actually what Vincent said is right, going to KLCC is more worthwhile than going to Midvalley for UM students because the LRT ticket cost RM2.10 and it brings us straight to KLCC. On the other hand, if we go to Midvalley, we will need to take a bus RM2. Although it is cheaper, you have to consider the traffic jam that comes along with going to Midvalley. And besides, for night outings, KLCC would be more convenient to return to UM.. (LRT service is open till midnight while you probably wouldn't see any public bus at midnight in midvalley, no?)

Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore.

I have been wanting to watch the show since it was released! As a self-professed dog lover, I must say that i enjoyed every bit of the show. It had a touching ending too, which almost made me shed tears. I love admiring all the cute and adorable dogs. I love how majestic looking Diggs, the Alsatian looked.. and it was amazing to see that Butch was somehow bigger than an Alsatian! Unfortunately, cute looking cats seems to be lacking from this show, not that i am complaining. We have a slim looking grey cat working for MEOWS but she is more kick-ass than adorable. Mr Tinkles is behind bars, plotting his escape so we might be waiting for a third movie?! haha...

All in all, i would give this movie: ***and a half *

Last night was a great night. The fact that i have gone through half a semester of law school has yet to hit me! Contract law exam after the holidays. Chiao Ying suggested that i study in HK since I wouldnt have much time during my hols. (Sure, i will.. ;p)

Beautiful, aite?

The twin tower is beautiful in a pair but when you can only see each of the two towers as individuals, you just learn to appreciate it's beauty better.

Emo Post Coming Up!

I had two tests today. Legal methods and tort. Of the two, tort was awful while legal methods was standard. I seriously think i stand no chance of passing. My points were wrong, my facts were wrong. Everything was so messed-up. The exam ended with all my friends busy discussing their answers which were all more or less the same except mine. I really felt like i was in a mud hole. It's not that i didnt study.. i really tried my hardest! But some how the question was harder than imagined and that was my first downfall. I froze upon seeing the question and the rest were consequences. I forgot everything, i got my facts mixed up etc. This mess of a test will account for 25% of my final marks. How am i going to not fail? OMG!!!!

The car is having problems too.. Everytime i drive over gear 3, it starts having these weird sounds from the right side of the car as though something is loose or flappy. Then, i think about what my mom said about cars exploding due to a punctured tyre and i get really worried. Grrr... Not a good day.

The good thing is, after today, my life will, hopefully get better. Will be making my way to Hong Kong on Monday night! And will be back on Thursday, around night. Hopfully, i will get my well-deserved break there..
