I just had the stupidest dream a few days back. When I mean stupid, I really mean it. I dreamt that me and a group of people (my platoon sergeant included!) were in a shopping mall that was being attacked by god knows what. In that extremely stupid dream, I was spiderman but I didn't have any of his powers like spider sense, superhuman strength or the ability to climb walls. All I had was a pen that could shoot spider webs.

Ok I told you it was stupid. Hahahaa

Oh anyway on to more real and tangible stuff, I finally ordered my very own customised mi-adidas running shoes. Its damn bloody expensive but I got it at 30% off using the Standard Charted Marathon promotion. You can't see it in the pic but my name is going to be stitched on it and the inner lining is maroon with red laces. Yummy!


Oh this is what is going to appear on the back of the shoe (the heel area) in place of the adidas logo.


Cool or coOlz?

i was frantically in the midst of finishing this exceptionally long criminal law case for my presentation on thursday when i decided to take a break and explore youtube.






I think moments like this always help put things back in perspective and lets me reflect on the what is really important in life.

Law tea is finally over! To say that it was a success is rather subjective but I think it was pretty ok and I think we did the best we could.




Oh I just remembered something embarassing that happened during the law tea. I wore my uniform only to realise that there was an embarassingly big hole in my pants! I had to tuck out at the expense of the disapproving looks from some of the profs. I really felt like dying then. Especially since I was standing in the front row and the whole faculty was there as well as our ex Chief Justice Yong Pung Hao. OMG

I was really really damn tired after the law tea so I declined to join the guys in having dinner at Timbre. I didn't know the extent of my tiredness until I woke up at almost 2pm today. Haha. I have exceptionally lots of work to do so I couldn't go out today. Instead my Saturday was spent doing criminal law stuff and doing a bit of revision on contract. :(


I know I might be touching on a sensitive issue on the next topic but I think I need to get it off my chest. I didn't think that the issue of which JC one comes from would be an issue in tertiary education but somehow I feel that when people see which JC I came from, I get a weird vibe from them. Some of them don't even know what TPJC is. I'm not exactly blaming them. I do understand that for most of them, they come from top schools. Most of the people there actually are from the RI/RGS to RJC background. Sometimes, I feel a little apprehensive cause I've never been in a school of academic elites and here I am now amidst 240+ students (both batches) that have scholars and people in the gifted program amongst them. My crim prof kind of hit the spot when she said that in the school, the person next to you is probably someone who has scored 4 As for their A levels. Yeah it does get kind of scary sometimes.

Despite all that, I'm rather determined to prove my worth. I know that my results are better than a certain percentage of the students. The school has similarly believed in my capabilities and entrusted me with something (which I shall not mention what). Perhaps one of my friends from NUS law said it best when I told her about my apprehensiveness of studying among the
crème de la crème. It might sound rather haughty but I think it does encourage me in some ways.

Friend: "but we ARE the crème de la crème!"

I think I'm starting to get used to school. Don't get me wrong, the workload is still really really crazy and I still have to spend my weekends occupied with readings just to finish them. Despite that, I think the combination of the awesome people in law and the fact that I might have accustomed myself to the system helps a lot!

Friday afternoon/evening was really fun. Firstly me and a few other people from law went for the law soc talks (I'm in logistics for Judgement Day!). It was hilarious to see how a few students who were actually just in the room to slack/meet up with friends ended up having to participate in the events without any prior intention to. Haha. I finally got my opportunity to cam-whore in the seminar room!


Went for Funbowl after that at SAFRA Yishun. T'was really hilarious. The games that were organised was rather fun. Our group was really enthu about it and we even came in the law camp t-shirts (with the exception of Paul who came in the butt ugly SMU School of Law polo). Surprisingly, we won quite alot of the prizes. Haha.


see for yourself the pervasiveness of legal figures in the lives of law students. :(

Went to watch the Black's Rugby event at SAS. It was my first time watching rugby. It was rather entertaining but I think late night events are just not for me. My brain crawls to a slow past midnight. I call it the midnight syndrome.

I'm going for the nike human challenge run later in the afternoon but my lower back is hurting again after the bowling session and the late night rugby event. (I didn't even play! I was a spectator!)

Went for AHM in the morning just now. I think my race prep was not that good so I had a few problems in the morning. I didn't have time to do a proper warm up so I did a bit of cold stretching before heading to the start line. It was really nice to see a few people from Charlie there. Had a nice short chat before I started the race. I think I didn't have such a good start. It was probably due to the lack of training prior to the race. I was struggling a little and I only managed to pick up at about the 10km mark. I swear that energy gels really do work!

Ok anyway long story short, the run was quite ok but the wet ground with the puddles was not good. I ran with wet feet for more than half the journey. Last 4km was really a struggle cause my leg muscles were damn tight! Returned my chip, collected my medal and went to SMU to bathe.


A momento of my completion of the 21km.

I was damn happy that I finished my criminal law readings until I saw the readings for LSLMA. Omg. I'm going to mug in school tomorrow. You can find my dead body over my law books and readings :(

The first week of school is finally over!! :)

Oh man. Law school has been much tougher than I have expected. The readings and preparation needed before lessons are crazy and seminars are mentally taxing. Thank god for the people around me though who really help in keeping me sane. Preparations for law tea have been hit with several problems and I hope that it will be worked out soon. I can't wait for law tea to be over so that I can focus exclusively on my studies.

I don't like how I don't have any pics of class so far. I shall thus make a mental note to take more pictures in class or maybe even during lessons. :)

Guess what Mr. Postman sent me today?


I'm a happy person.
