Way overdue: 18 Jan: Day 3 of LCP BKK trip

Image
So this is way overdue but I'm thinking, "better late than never". I had originally uploaded just the photos alone and saved it as a draft to add in the words at a later date. And erm... the "later date" seems to be about 3 months later... oops, hee hee. If needed, you may want to refresh your memory by reading my entries on Day 1 and Day 2 of the LCP trip. Anyway, day 3 of our LCP BKK trip was the last full day in BKK. It was a very very different and new experience for me because, for the first time ever in my life, I was driven to Platinum Mall, right into its carpark, and on the way there, the roads were CLEAR. We spent the rest of the day in Platinum Mall. Our longest break was for lunch at the Japanese restaurant (also first time experience for me). I was too busy shopping and looking at stuff and eating so I have no photos to offer you here:D For dinner, we ate at the Four Seasons London restaurant at Megabangna, which is a huuuuuuge mal...

Turning 26 - my birthday weekend

Image
I turned 26 over the weekend, and there was nothing big and super special about it, even though I think that birthdays should be big and super special as it is celebrating somebody's life and another year that has been lived. Nothing big and super special, but many small things that peppered my long and tiring weekend, which makes me thankful for family and good friends who took time out to get me cakes and presents and to spend time with me. Above picture is a summary of all the little things that happened over the weekend. Scroll down for more details!:) Friday, 4th April 2014 Before we started hearing in the Supreme Court at 9:30 am, Evelyn and Cindy surprised me with a piece of cake and a present - it was a pleasant start to the long day in Court that only ended at 6 pm. I then attended leadership cell meeting at uncle Daniel's house, and only got home at 11ish, if I remember correctly. It was an interesting experience, which I felt most acutely when the grou...

Flower Power Friday!

So I borrow Cindy's photo and tagline from Facebook because it was taken with her phone... But it really is SO nice to have 2 other colleagues who are around my age... Evelyn is the one in the middle. In terms of legal experience and I think age-wise as well, she is 1 year my junior. The one on the right is Cindy, who is just 1 year older than me. She is one of our practice trainees and will be joining us as a lawyer when she is called to the Bar sometime beginning of next year. I enjoy working, eating lunch, and just talking random stuff with them. We also can do nonsense like wear prints on a particular day. There's also cheap thrills like realising at least 2 of us are in the same colour combination, e.g. on 21 January 2014:- The 2 of us didn't even realise it until Cindy pointed out that our skirt is the same blue and we were both wearing white tops. I didn't tuck in my top so it is not AS obvious. But look close enough and you'll realise that our colour...

17 Jan: Day 2 of LCP BKK trip

Image
I was up at 5:45 to wash up. Still very sleepy because of the lack of sleep (we only slept at 00:30 BKK time the night before), I kept forgetting things and we were late for to breakfast, going down at 6:55 instead of the planned 6:45. Breakfast was very simple. But I enjoyed what is to me a holiday special of toast bread with egg and ham. The feel of the breakfast place felt like some cafeteria though, not very nice ambience. We left the hotel at about 7:45. All 17 of us squeezed into a mini bus. It was a 2 hour bus ride to the starting point of our tour of the floating market. I really enjoyed the floating market experience! My first buy of the day was a 700baht (about SGD28) giraffe made out of coconut husks which can light up. Actually Cindy was very interested to find out its price. The boat drew near to the stall and the opening price was actually 1,400baht! We talked about bargaining but that just meant that if she agreed to our price it was a done dea...
