I have been in practice for close to 1.5 years now. I have yet to conduct my own trial or Assessment of Damages hearing that involves proper cross examination of the other party's witness(es).  I have been to Court numerous times though, although it's more the Subordinate and Family Courts as compared to the High Court. Anyway, one thing that impacted me today as I went to the Sub Courts for a short Summons For Directions hearing, was the nice way the security guards at the security scanners of the entrance would smile and recognise me as a lawyer. There are 1 or 2 particularly friendly guards who would ask me questions like "have you had breakfast/lunch?" Or "how are you?" This afternoon, I smiled at the guard as I was waiting behind a visitor to the Sub Courts. He was emptying his pockets of everything. At the same time, the guard looked up at me and returned my smile. Then he said to me, "Oh! I just realised it's you because you chan...

So, following from my previous blog post on this show, I've been following every episode of Korean drama serial The Heirs ever since. And this song is from the OST (official soundtrack) of the show... The song title is quite weird, "Biting my Lower Lip", by this American-born Korean female singer named Esna. But I think it is quite catchy and more upbeat as compared to the mournful ballads. It is now one of the songs I play in the background when I am feeling super sleepy at work...:D

We always talk about going overseas together. It finally materialised when about half of One-Third went to Bangkok in September this year. Julie, Bella, Sheryl, myself and Eugene flew over to Bangkok to meet Andrew, who has been working there for the past few months. On 11.09.13, I went to work in the morning. Then dad was sooooo nice to fetch me and Eugene to the airport for our afternoon flight. Hungry, and craving for Burger King, we had lunch at Burger King! I was SUPER happy to satisfy my craving of mushroom swiss burger and taro pie from Burger King. To me, it was a GOOD start to the trip!:) After we checked in to First House Hotel, we took the train and then the ferry to Asiatique. It started raining VERY heavily as we were queueing for the ferry to Asiatique. By the time we boarded the ferry, we were wet because we had to run to the ferry from the sheltered area. Once off the ferry, we then had to run a bit more to find shelter, and finally decide...

If you're wondering why I am blogging about something SO old, it's because this blog post has been sitting as a Draft for soooo long. I uploaded the photos and just never got round to filling in the post with words. Anyway, on 21.09.13, I attended Doreen Teo's wedding dinner at One°15 Marina Club at Sentosa Cove. The surprise of the night was that Eugene and I were seated at different tables, which led us to the conclusion that at the time that they planned the seating, they weren't aware that Eugene and I were together... But this self-amusing point aside, I think the bears as door gifts were cute. I'd much prefer door gifts that were more practical than this, but they're just cute to look at I suppose. The food was also okay too. My favourite dish of the night was the poached 'live' prawns in Chinese Wine. Not because it was more delicious than the rest, but because Eugene (who had swapped over to the empty seat beside me so that we were...

On Friday, I had the fright of my life when the light casing above me in my room came crashing down while I was seated in my chair, reading a file opened up on my table. It happened at about 1:15pm when my secretary, Liniar and I were still in Level 4 of the office waiting for Roger to come back with lunch. I was just sitting there, reading a file, with my hands at the edge of the table nearest to me pressing the file down so that it would stay open as I looked through the documents. Then suddenly, the room became dark and there was a loud sound. My first reaction was to look up, thinking that the filament tubes had blown out again (I had just changed one of the filament tubes maybe 1 or 2 weeks ago). Then I registered the casing on my table, with small pieces of the wall plaster on the floor and on my table. Liniar, shocked as well, came to my door and asked if I was ok. Liniar, also very shocked, rushed to my door and asked if I was ok. I looked at my hands that were sti...

I've been meaning to blog about recent birthday celebrations in the family and realised that this post, whatever I'm going to blog about, it my 1000th post for this blog! I haven't blogged for a long while now but I came to another realisation recently, when I went back all the way to November last year to find out the date that I went to perm my hair... I should blog more to help keep record of my life events!:) So anyway, I'm going to make more effort to blog whenever I've the time. And back to my 1000th post, I decided to blog about family. Family celebrations to be exact. On 22nd September, we celebrated my sister's birthday by having dinner at Osia, Resorts World Sentosa. If I remember correctly, it is the 2nd birthday that my sister requested for the family to have dinner at this restaurant. The food was yummy and I REALLY liked the dessert that we ordered... But unfortunately it was so long ago I can't remember the name of the dessert....

I left my hair as it was for close to 1 year. It had grown the longest ever in my entire life. Last week especially, I became more and more irritated with its length and weight and I couldn't wait to cut some of it off. So yesterday, 7 November 2013, I took the afternoon off to see my hairstylist at Kimage Kovan. I got a cut, perm, colour and highlight... from 2 to 6:30pm! It cost me about $315 after my 25% member discount. Quite worth it to me I think? And I am quite pleased with how it turned out, especially where the shorter length is concerned. So have a look at the before and after... What do you think? (Sorry if the self-shots look weird... I don't like taking self-shots of myself... Just not used to it)

This article is FANTASTIC motivation for me to drink more water in a day, i.e. at least 3 litres of water a day... Especially when it talks about reduction of dark rings and wrinkles under the eyes!!! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2480491/How-drinking-litres-water-day-took-years-face.html

The weekend that just passed was similar to many other weekends in that I was on worship duty so I had to wake up early on Saturday to practice, then went for worship practice at 1pm and left church after Youth service for dinner with people of my age group (i.e. Joanne, Eugene, Heli, Joel, Jolene, with UKK and Beatrice joining us), and then waking up early on Sunday to play for both services. At the same time, the weekend that just passed was different in that I brought General to Pasir Ris Park to swim in the seawater on Saturday morning together with Miming and Eugene, and then on Sunday afternoon I went out for tea with my cell mates, Bernice and Joelynne, before having a YUMMY dinner at Sun With Moon Restaurant. On Saturday morning, Miming, General and I left the house at about 8:30am to pick up Eugene from his home before driving over to Pasir Ris Park. My sister and Edmund had told me about a couple from their church who brought their labrador swimming in the sea every ...
