I was texting with Chiao a while ago about what we planned to do on Christmas eve and his text turned out all authoritative and stern (well, in my opinion, it is) - asking us to arrive at around 5 to start preparing for dinner etc etc. All instructions set out. Then, I told him I'm only setting foot in London at 5 pm so it's impossible I'll be at Suang's place at 5 pm sharp and he was like, 'that was just a plan. You think everyone will arrive on time meh?' lol. Replied him saying that he sounded serious when he 'gave out the instructions' in the previous message.
Guess what his reply was:
'Cos if too many haha or lol will exceed one text and I dunno what line the others are using, so not free. Lol'
HAHAHAHHAHA! DUDE, SERIOUSLY?! CHEAPO!!!! LMAOOOOOOO :p Then again, I understand the whole 'saving phone credits' thing because stupid O2 took away my unlimited texts for some reason, and now I'm only left with 25 free texts per month D: Damn sad.
Might not be funny to you guys out there but it was to me. Hehehhhhh.

Let's spend the afternoon in a cold hot air balloon

I dunno why, but I'm super excited! :D Looking forward to London and Madrid eventhough I'm currently very behind schedule in my work.Plus, will be spending New Year's in London. Just like the past two years. No idea what we have in store for new year's eve this time but still, I'm sure we'll have something planned out!
CRAVINGS:

15 more days. Will things be different by then?
Hopefully not.

"Once the music ends, you'll be hers forever."
I wonder why human beings cannot be less complicated. You get all these unpredictable people in the world and you spend half your time trying to look past all those complicated thoughts in someone's head, trying your best to make matters crystal clear but in the end, it's still unsuccessful. By the end of the day, there's just a whole bunch of disappointed people. I'd say I'm hardly the sympathetic kind but sometimes, I can't deny the fact that I feel kinda bad seeing people being let down this way. Probably it's because I can relate to it? I don't know.
Gets even more frustrating when it is your friend and not some random stranger that's being disappointed. You wanna say something nice, but have no idea what are the right words. So, is it better to pour your feelings out to a friend that can relate to your situation but doesn't console you enough, or a friend who never went through the same thing and just goes 'ohhhh' at the words you said?
Yeah, it's true - we live, laugh and love. Easier said than done. First one's taken for granted, the other two are the tough ones.
And it's these tiny little incidents that made me realise that I'm no longer a kid. No longer the nursery kid who loved it when both her parents pick her up from the nursery. No longer the kindergarten child who hated colouring lessons 'cos she always have to wait for the other kids to finish off their drawings. No longer the high-school student who did homework in front of the tv. Time to grow up and learn that there are more obstacles in the real world to tackle.
No worries. No emo-ey emo-ey here. Just spilling out some thoughts! :D
End of another week. Progress of work: 12% T_____T DIE.

I thought that time was on our side
It snowed today. When I was making my way back from Hallward. Omg, I thought the sight of snow+Reading earlier in the year was already breathtaking but snow+Nottingham? DAMN PRETTY! It's just like a Christmas card!!!! :D But, as usual, one must know that there's always a down side to everything - snow itself? yes, lovely. But snow blowing in your direction? Not so great. Feels like millions of tiny white insects flying towards you, trying to get a bite out of you or something. Urghhhh. Plus, the cold isn't making matters any easier for me.
Eventhough you hate the snow, I still wish that you could be here to see this instead of 13 hours of flight away :D Please come back soon!

[Those bolded by different colours are Goddamn TRUE.]
You Know You're a Law Student When......
You consider dropping out of law school approximately every hour, but after that first semester you realized you were already in too much debt to be anything other than a lawyer.
You can name without hesitation at least three people who make you want to throw things when you see them raise their hands in class.
You think IRAC and CREAC are just code for saying the same thing over and over.
You are truly and deeply unnerved by the thought of some of your classmates becoming solicitors or advocates.
Sometimes during disagreements you are tempted to 12(6)(b) the offending friend or family member.
You can’t remember if you decided to come to law school because you wanted to help people and make a difference in the world or because you hate yourself.
You can’t think of any legitimate reason why a law student would need access to certain public records, but you can think of a whole lot of illegitimate ones.
After the first semester you realized that “briefing a case” need only consist of looking it up on Lexis or Westlaw.
You’re ready to strangle the next friend or relative to say jokingly "good thing you’re studying law I may need your help one day”
When someone is expressing their frustration or anger about something that is in any way related to the law, you can’t be sympathetic because you’re too busy figuring out in your head if they have a cause of action.
You hear about the death of an elderly friend or relative and wonder if they died intestate..
You're pretty sure the reasonable man is a friendless tool who still lives with his mother..
You think Mrs Donoghue should have swallowed the f*****g snail and saved us all the headache!
You never answer a question without saying "well, that depends on the specific facts of the case..."
You say "expressly" instead of "explicitly"…
You have considered naming your future children A, B and C to simplify conveyances of property...
You are tempted to kill the next person who asks you what area of law you plan to focus on…
You’ve argued over a semicolon…
You have been asked for legal advice by people who foolishly assume that subjects stay in your head after the invigilator collects your exam paper
You refer to well-known judges as if they were old friends
You have experienced uncontrollable waves of anger at people relaxing in the sunshine
You have passed all of your previous exams but still believe that "this time, I'm definitely f****d"
You have considered changing career paths to hot dog vendor, stilt walker, or career alcoholic
You realise that human rights were only invented to piss off 1st year students who really couldn't care less about some convict who didn't like to s**t in a bucket
You come to hate it when people start referring to cases in general conversation
You find that 50% of medics treat you worse than something on the sole of their shoes
The drama in your life now rivals that of high school.
You make adverse possession jokes.

Snowy intervals
(:This only encompasses lectures, not tutorials. Hrhrhrr
It snowed just now. Light snow. Took a look at the weather forecast and supposedly there's gonna be sunny intervals in the afternoon and HEAVY SNOW in the evening. It better not disappoint me! :D
The sight of snow also meant one thing - I now waste more time gazing out the window than usual and this easily translates to: less work done.

Please don't stop the rain
Nothing beats the festive feel of Christmas. Despite not celebrating it, I love Christmas. It's one of my favourite holidays of the year. You know Christmas is just round the corner when you hear sporadic 'it's gonna snow' comments, christmas songs playing over shops' speakers, the numerous christmas events that the university/college/school has planned, and the sight of humongous christmas trees all around the city! :D As awful as the weather might be at this time of the year, I'm loving it. I love sitting by the window with a warm cup of coffee, listening to the cars whirred past outside on the wet tarmac; the yellowish, non-fluorescent light in living rooms; hoodies and knitted scarves; the German market in the city; warm food and so much more.
Christmas back then used to mean travelling to Singapore. I miss that actually. I can still remember, as a kid, I'd get awfully excited at all the Christmas decorations and if you look through my childhood pictures, I swear there are countless photos of me with Christmas trees (: or even with reindeer and Santas shaped by decorative lights.
It's nice that all this atmosphere is making work much more bearable. Well, not really. Not when it's necessary to make a trip over to the library which is a grueling 10 - 15 minutes walk in the rain.
I'm glad to hear happy squeals of snow from the Londoners but seriously, WHY IS NOTTINGHAM NOT SNOWING? All mother nature gives us is this cold cold weather and drizzle. But no snow at all ): There were a few people allegedly saying that it snowed yesterday night in Notts but I'm pretty convinced that it was just... witnessing frost on cars, instead of the usual evidence of settling snow.

[I feel that my English is deteriorating. Writing used to be so easy back then; I even enjoyed writing for English paper 1 exams. Now, I can't even conjure up a proper nice-sounding blogpost. I blame the lack of reading for this.]
My tickets to London arrived a few days ago! :D So so looking forward to it. Haven't been in London for ages and I can't wait to see the others! My trip to London and Madrid is supposed to be an incentive for me to finish up my coursework but so far, I dare say it hasn't been working very well. Nonetheless, I still have 1 more week to chiong as much as possible.
