I went for the much-awaited Drew interns gathering yesterday night. We had dinner at Sakae and dessert at Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie for dessert. Speaking of Canele, the desserts there are absolutely heavenly! We had the le royale, chocolat classique and a berry tart (can't remember the name but it was good!) while sze scooted off to meet a mysterious male. Haha. The gathering definitely brought back wonderful memories of our crazy conversations about miss cambridge and mr oxford, sze and her plentiful suitors, as well as anushkha and her clubbing days/infatuation with a certain med guy. (: It was a pity nupur wasn't around. I missed these people so much when I was doing my graded assignments or studying for exams. We must organise a trip to visit nupur in india next year okay? =)

Today was a disappointment. It's certainly upsetting when you realise that someone you've admired for a long time is not really who you thought he was. The pain is exacerbated because you've innocently placed your trust in him and he tears it all apart with his deception. Some say that ignorance is bliss. I think not. To be ignorant is to be blind. Blind of the truth which we live in. I don't think I'll ever trust him so easily ever again.

Gosh, I looked at my blog earlier and realised that the last time I blogged was about three months ago... Haha. That is proof of how busy I was and the life (or lack thereof) I had over the past few months.

Anyway, sem 1 of law school was totally not a breeze. Seemed like a breeze at the start but when the exams came, I started to doubt whether I was really fit to be a law student. I wonder how I passed those (some say, rigorous) entry exams and interviews. I really wonder what they saw in me... If they had perceived an analytical mind in me, they seem to be wrong. Because the law exams suggested otherwise. Basically, I got slaughtered at the exams... and I left the exam hall, frustrated and disheartened. Frustrated because I panicked during my torts paper, screwed it up big time and knew I could have done so much better, like get an A again. For contract, never taken such complicated exams in my life before. I think they'll consider retaining me or something. Ugh. Anyway, law school sure lives up to its reputation of offering a challenging education. Haha.

Enough about exams. On to more interesting bits of life post-exams:

K surprised me on Sat by buying me a new schoolbag. I know it's kinda childish but I was actually thinking of getting a backpack and not a tote bag. A backpack is also more practical so it doesn't cause me any back problems like it did a few months back (I was lazy and stuffed my laptop into my nike tote). I was just telling K over the phone that I was considering getting a particular Jansport bag and the next time I met him, it was ta-da, the Jansport bag in the exact shade of pink I wanted! (:
Surprise no. 2 by K was on Sunday morning when he came to my house early in the morning with home-cooked breakfast. He made me scrambled eggs with german sausage, and there were cheese sausages, hotdogs and mini hashbrown too! I'm not being bias here but it tasted real good. And I'm also kinda ashamed of myself at the same time because I can barely cook a few dishes. =/
With certain events coming up, I had to go buy cosmetics. Bought maybelline eyeshadow on Mon and faceshop eyeliner yesterday. Also, I bought a new pair of silver heels yesterday. It's really shiny and it reminds me of a discoball. Okay it's not that ugly and glittery, it's just plain silver with a buckle at the side.
By the way, I had damn good food during the exam period. That was what kept me alive. Haha. I had loads of dark choc, and had weekly gastronomic dinners at nice places like Hooked, Herbs and Spices...etc.
Oh and I've installed Safari as my default web browser after much persuasion from someone, so no more boring Internet Explorer!
Lastly, I'm no longer rooted to my table at home. I've expended energy roaming town when doing shopping. Plus, I swam 20 laps yesterday and jogged today. Haha. It's good to be active. (:

P.S. I am super free now so if anyone is feeling bored at home, you can contact me and we can go on a date! Haha.

Not disappearing from the face of this earth for a month,

Weilin. <3

Met up with becksie and sze after school last Wednesday. We went to adam road food centre for an extremely unhealthy dinner and then island creamery for sinful double-scoop ice-cream each. It was a really enjoyable evening because I haven't seen the two of them in ages. It was so much fun just crapping away and laughing like we're some psychotic girls. =) Man, I really miss my days at d & n. If only the two of them could be at nus law with me...oh well.

Went for bro's birthday celebration at cafe cartel yesterday. It was a nice family dinner on a weekend, a rare one indeed, considering how I seldom have dinner with my family on weekends because I spend my weekends with K.

Anyway, school life has been somewhat hectic thus far. The work seems never-ending. If you thought schoolwork in rj was crazy, law school is like rj times ten. And I'm not kidding. At times I really feel like my eyes are going to pop because of the amount of readings I have. Notwithstanding the heavy workload, I still relish what I'm doing, sort of. And hopefully I will continue relishing it because this is going to last me a lifetime. Haha.

Till the next time, take care everyone... =)

My heart will be yours for eternity. (:

matric week
Last week was matriculation week. That explains why I haven't been blogging. Picnic under the stars was kinda cool, in traditional law school fashion I've been told, with brewerkz beer and live music. Laser quest was super fun haha! It made me feel like I was in army, involved in urban operations or something. Lol. And cluedo on the move was horror movies galore and it wasn't too scary oops. Law bash at homeclub was not too bad too. (: Overall, it's been a rather enjoyable week and I like my new og mates!

food
The sunday before last was spent having good ol' gloria jeans cappucino and traditional italian wood-fired pizza at Modesto's for dinner. Yesterday was a romantic national day with K and a really good choctail at Max Brenner Chocolate Bar. <3

shopping
I've been on a spending spree lately. Bought a sunny orange dress last week and a pair of white knee-length pants yesterday. It feels good to be able to go shopping and have the buying power to purchase any item I desire. The past few working months paid off in a way I guess. Haha.

law school
Time really flies. Tomorrow is the start of a new journey, it marks the official beginning of my life in law school. I'm apprehensive. Though Dr. Tommy Koh had mentioned law school as the golden years of one's life, I wouldn't say I'm extremely excited. In fact, I'm dreading school because the rigour of a law course is undeniable and I don't know if I'm up to the challenge. Also, a part of me really hopes to be able to find a group of close-knit friends that I can study with and hang out with. =)

After a visit to the salon, I now have relatively short hair (barely touching my shoulders) and a short fringe. Maybe it's because I haven't trimmed my hair in a long while, it slipped my mind that 2 inches is pretty long, so snip-snip and there I was, feeling rather horrified. Haha oh well but apparently it looks alright so I'm relieved.

Anyway, I nearly skipped the council gathering on Saturday because I thought my hairstyle was horrid but I'm glad I didn't (thanks to Shree and Reshma) because the gathering was better than what I had expected. :D Had the opportunity to catch up with quite a number of people. And chatting with Reshma in one corner of Jonny's house was really fun (both of us refused to play pass-the-parcel haha). After the emo video David brought, photo-taking session and chocbanana cake from secret recipe, Nelson and I cabbed to Starbucks at Thomson to meet K. My two favourite study partners during the jc exam period haha. =) It was a lovely night.

Sunday was good as usual. I especially enjoyed the journey in the car. (:

On a last note, the fact that I'm blogging so often nowadays shows how free I am. I treasure the freedom but alas, it's all coming to an end in one week's time when school begins. And I'm so glad I cancelled the KL trip, because that means I can meet up with almost all my friends before we lead separate lives in all parts of the world.

The above are random photos from clubbing last week. :)

I went to collect my A level cert and rj '07 yearbook on Tuesday. And oh my, the college has become so pretty. And walking around in college just made me reminisce about my days in rjc. I miss raffles! (: As I was walking out of school, I met xianhui and renuka and it was nice catching up with them. Thereafter, I had gelare waffles at ps, with ruolin and xiumz! Yay my favourite rj people! And my waffle was simply sinful, with cookies&cream ice-cream, whipped cream and strawberries on the waffle which was already dripping with maple syrup. I don't really regret eating it (considering the amount of calories it contains) because sometimes it's just therapeutic to indulge in good food. Haha.

Anyway, inspired by my very fit brother and K, I went on morning jogs this week. 2.4km on Monday, 2km on Tuesday and 2.4km on Thursday. Haha. It's quite a feat, really (considering the lovely rainy mornings of this week, the lure of my comfortable bed and of course, my usual lazy self). Speaking of my bro, I am so proud of him! He came in 1st for his school's biathlon. :D As you can see, I'm poles apart from my bro-the sportsman. I was never really a sportsgirl. In fact, the only time I was in a sports cca was in primary school (gosh that was so long ago) and that was netball. Oh well. But I definitely felt more refreshed and fitter this week.

Went to btc yesterday to get some law books from Andrew. Met ian, natalie, mingkun, jie xuan, jaya and chang xian too. Argh I don't want school to start yet...

Going to trim my hair later! Whee I've been wanting to do this since like 2 months ago. Hope I'll look better. In any case, if it turns out really bad, there is still 2 weeks till law school offically starts. Oh and dinner with my mcys colleagues at swensens later, haven't seen them since I quit last Friday.

Anyway, Rebecca (my dearest gan mei) called me yesterday and we had this really long chat over the phone. Talked to Elizabeth (hilarious as usual) and Chenye (understanding as always) over msn recently, and to Shuyi (pri sch best friend!) today. And all these nice little conversations made me emo and I realised how much I miss my good ol' friends. Really. People that I just gel with very easily, people who understand me and are there for me. I am so grateful for having friends like them. (:
