Last Day of Work and other random stuff!!!

Sunset at Broga Hill which meant starting my hike at 4 a.m.

So, I started my attachment at a law firm right after my last paper ( Like 3 days after the last paper to be exact but honestly who is counting???) and everyone thought I was nuts to start working so soon but I was determined and therefore I started working on the second week of June up until the end of this month which is today!!! I had learnt the hard way to appreciate my holidays as halfway through my attachment, I was already exhausted since I have not had a proper break for 2 years now...So, to those of you insane enough to try crazy things like this, it might be a good idea to take a break for approximately a week or two before working, take it from another insane being who just loves to learn things the hard way...

Broga Hill (the not so tough hill after all!!!)

I'm not saying that working is so difficult because honestly it sometimes is a little tough to learn new skills but that is what makes my attachment exciting. I'm the kind of girl who loves doing new things even if it's a little crazy at times like the time I climbed up Broga Hill or did abseiling down a wall being the youngest in the group to do so and etc...I've learnt a lot during my attachment at the firm and I've even made a new friend who is a Year 2 UK Transfer Degree  Programme from another university so I can't say that I regret working. The office has been my second home for 2 months now but now it's time for some R & R before my results come out and I am freaking out since I procrastinated again so chances are, I need a real miracle to get through my tough year...Let's recap my insane 4 subjects...

Law of Tort- The examiner must think I have a death wish for setting the paper so different from expected (Thank you UOL for always making my life interesting!!!) And I may have underestimate the subject thinking it was possible to finish quickly when my study manual itself is 600+++ pages excluding my textbooks, subject guide and own notes.

The verdict: I can say bye bye to the only subject I expected to get through easily.

Land Law- I spent 3/4 of the year trying to understand the whole syllabus not even knowing what I don't know so this is one paper I know for sure that I messed up unless somehow by a miracle, whatever rubbish that I wrote in my answer script makes sense...

The verdict: Land Law, please have mercy on me. I hope whatever in my answer script is sufficient to get through this tough year.

Law of Trust- The subject that seems to hate me no matter how much I try to make myself understand the syllabus. Just when I think I understand the topic, the answer may divert into another direction plus the exam paper was simply foreign to me so I did what I always do... Making things up as I go along...That seems to be what I am good at.

The Verdict: Do I even need to spell it out???I need a miracle to get through this complicated paper.

Family Law- Never try to study this subject last minute unless you're trying to kill yourself with an overload of cases and statutes. There was just too many cases and I found myself drowning in a pool of cases with similar names (Why can't it just be like simple names instead of alphabets???) I feel like I am learning my ABC again like in kindergarten...

The Verdict: I really have no idea how I did but I don't feel good...

Chances are I pretty much screwed up my exam papers but hopefully...I get through...

Anyways, on to a more brighter tone, I managed to challenge myself to go for rock climbing at Camp 5 this week and it was a thrilling experience...Firstly, I have never done it before plus the first time I caught a glimpse of the highest wall they have, I almost fainted at the thought of attempting it when I have no idea what I am suppose to do on the wall...I mean I know that I am suppose to climb it (obviously!!!) but how to climb the proper way???

Thankfully they had guides to teach first timers such as myself and my sister and the guide who assisted me in my climb was Mr. Gregory who was kind enough to bring me down several times after I reached the top without complaining of my weight...I have to say that the climb was exciting but warning to those who are afraid of heights, don't attempt to look down while climbing, just keep climbing and reach the top. Mr. Gregory was pretty encouraging with those who wanted to give up climbing all the way up to the top like a lady in my group who only wanted to climb midway to take a picture and she was afraid of heights but thanks to Gregory and the encouragement by my fellow teammates and I, she managed to reach the top.

Not for the weak hearted

One of the walls to climb

The experience itself was amazing as I had to rely solely on myself to climb to the top without anyone actually assisting me with the climb and I have to say it made me feel more confident as I finished my climb for the day. I was provided with the proper equipment and given proper instructions which was exactly what I'd hoped to get however the only small problem was that the small children in another group was left unsupervised at times when the guide was busy with other customers that I watched in horror as a little girl of about 8 years old jumped down from the wall after her climb without following the proper method of descent and ended up on an older girl's shoulders but thankfully no one was injured. Besides that, the place was well maintained and it's perfect for those who want a taste of adventure indoors...

TELEVISION OBSESSION PART 2!!!

This is a continuing post from the previous post so if you hadn't read it, it's really fine as there's no connection plus you might get annoyed by my randomness of spoiling television shows so start scrolling down pass this post if you're dead bored and just want to read something instead of staring at your Facebook home page which isn't likely to have much changes in the span of a few minutes...

So, in the previous post (a little recap for those who just tuned in) I talked about my past obsession and my new obsession and now, I shall continue rambling about random shows that I am currently tuning into so I hope that I won't get sued for trashing some of these shows because I can't think straight without my cup of coffee...

The Cast Of Downton Abbey Season 4

Why, Matthew, Why???

I'm still into Downton Abbey even though it already has 4 seasons and the main guy character that I liked died tragically at the end of Season 3 which meant only 1 season of happiness for Mary and Dan Stevens...I mean Matthew. Mary is pretty much mopping for Matthew upon his death and I was too that I pretty much had to stop myself from crying when I watched it...I can't believe that Mary and Matthew didn't have a longer happy ending but Mary seems to have her usual line of suitors in season 4 and as much as I try to like them, I can't bear the thought of Mary with another after 3 seasons of a rollercoaster ride with Matthew!!!! Mary also has a baby boy now and he's so cute that I just want to pinch those baby cheeks (almost as cute as Prince George!!!)

What is Mary to do??? 

The character that I'd always pitied is Edith who seems to be hopeless in love and full of bad luck and Season 4 doesn't seem to be kinder on her...She fell for an older guy who could be mistaken for her father, her editor turned lover has gone MIA in Germany as he's trying to find a way to divorce his insane wife and she's left alone and unexpectedly pregnant that she has to give her kid away...Can anything else go wrong for this girl??? Branson is pretty much a character that I'd grown fond of as he's like an older brother to Mary now giving her advise and helping her along her way to recovery after her lost of Matthew since he did lose his wife, Sybil too in Season 3...

Downton Abbey seems to have a few bumpy roads to overcome next Season with Edith's lover still missing, Anna's suspicion of Bates that he had killed her rapist (Yeah, all the good people here seems to lose out!) and Mary has to try to enjoy life while trying to keep her suitors at bay...Pretty much an average day in the Crawley estate...

Why did I have to suffer this fate???

Introducing...Mary, Queen of Scots.Long May She Reign...Not too true

Next, I would like to introduce a show that has me hooked after reading the synopsis that I find myself desperately looking for the episodes to watch...Reign, which is based loosely on Mary, Queen of Scots life in French Court where she has to evade the English, the Pagans in the woods who also sometimes enter into the Castle and a mother-in-law who hates her guts with no just causes..I think she should have remained with the nuns since at least there only the English were trying to poison her...She basically finds her life in danger as French Court is a place where people will smile in front of you but happily stab your back, oh and she's being helped by the little girl who covers her head with a sack and runs around in the hidden passages around the castle...Mary has to get Francis to like her when she returns to marry him after several years in the covenant which he does eventually after not much resistance and then she dumps him to save his life and finally chooses him to marry but not before trying to pass his throne to his half brother, Bash as well as trying to marry Bash to save Francis life due to a prophesy that Francis will die young if he marries Mary...I don't understand how marrying Mary would cause Francis to die but that was basically the plot for the first few episodes...

Mary, the confused Queen who doesn't seem to know what's on her mind

Francis, Dauphin of France and King to be

Bash, the brother who can't have everything but wants everything Francis has..

Meanwhile, Francis who is actually suppose to be  sick and feeble in reality is portrayed as a strong and active prince who likes going after young rich women at court and he's supposed to be really rational minded which I have to disagree at times because he kept distancing himself from Mary when the outcome was the same...Bash seems to be the loser in this love triangle as thanks to Mary, he loses the girl he loves, gets exiled for trying to reach for the crown of France when it was Mary's idea and is forced to marry Kenna, one of Mary's lady-in-waiting who was the King of France, his father's mistress...That just sounds so wrong but it seemed to be the norm in the past to share women...

Why can't we just get along???

I love happily ever afters!!!

I love Mary for being so headstrong because Francis needs a little banging on the head with the way he handles things with Mary but this baby thing with Lola is seriously killing my vibe...I used to like Lola until she betrayed her friend and Francis is such a dummy for sleeping with Mary's friend...What did he expect out of that??? I love Queen Catherine's fierce love for her son that she is willing to do anything for him even to kill...twice!!! She's exactly what the show needs with her witty tongue...And need I say more about the costumes in the show??? Simply breathtaking although not exactly like the old times because no one used to wear sleeveless dresses and the dresses used to be super big and stuffy...Most of Mary's dresses looks like prom dresses but I can hardly complain...

Look at all the pretty dresses around us!!!

Is she actually serious about pairing that shoes with that dress???

I would worry too if women in the past wore like this...

END OF PART 2!!!

TELEVISION OBSESSIONS PART 1

After almost 1 years hiatus from blogging, I am back and I know that it's been soooooo long but it couldn't be helped...over the past year, I have been busy with my studies as well as my attachment at a law firm so that meant reaching home at almost 9 p.m. everyday or later sometimes which depended wholly on my timetable...

Anyways, enough about my boring life since a law student's social life naturally would be zero percent since we're suppose to be busy with our studies in the library as my lecturer puts it and my friends would agree since I haven't met them for over a year now thanks to my insane schedule.

How to begin then??? I have actually forgotten how to blog and my mind is so full of thoughts that I have no idea what to go on blabbing about but here goes....excuse my random rambling but I need some time to fall back into my old flow of writing....

So, I know I used to ramble on and on and on about my crazy obsession with the supernatural world such as vampires, werewolves, ghost, witches and etc but these days, I am still into the whole supernatural idea but just that my interest has died down a little... I haven't caught up with the entire Season 5 of Vampire Diaries!!! Can you imagine??? So many episodes to catch on my last few weeks of my break but basically I lost interest in the show since Elena is pretty much annoying me to the point that I just want to go to her and hit her on the head with a club as she's pretty much the most indecisive girl in the entire planet!!! She's worse than me when I am deciding what to have for lunch or dinner!!!! So, imagine this girl who is stuck between two handsome brothers, in love with both of them and she's technically leading them on and yet no one calls her a player or flirt!!! I personally used to be Team Stelena since I have always been biased towards Stefan but now I find myself so bored at watching that love triangle try its best to untangle that I switch shows halfway!!! And I heard even worst news, CW has renewed the show for another season and seriously, how much more tangled can this love triangle be???

Here we go again...

And shouldn't there be something illegal about sleeping around with two brothers??? I personally feel that the producers shouldn't have created another show for the Originals because I loved the Original Vampires in the Vampire Diaries as Klaus is just so great to watch being the villain and occasional hero...Plus I loved his soft spot for Caroline that everyone keeps using against him and let's hope the producers finds something else more interesting to introduce in the next season besides the usual Stefan-Elena, Damon-Elena triangle..

Klaus: I'm sorry but I have to leave for my own show.

Miss us much???

SPOILER ALERT!!!


My sister's got me hooked on a new series, Sleepy Hallows and I have to say that that show is absolutely brilliant... The idea of putting together an apocalypse, the bible, the headless horseman and other mythical creatures is just what I need these days...There's no love triangles between the main characters so that's a major change in the plot...Hopefully the writers don't decide to play along that lines anytime soon because I love that the main guy, Icahbod Crane is still hopelessly in love with his wife who has been dead for 250 years and she's stuck in purgatory because the headless horseman was her former lover who couldn't get over the fact that she was in love with his best friend...I would not want to be caught in that crazy twist...Meanwhile the lead female character, Abbie Mills is a cop who basically lost her partner who lost his head and she has this sister deemed to be insane who isn't actually insane because it seems to be perfectly normal to see supernatural beings in that town...Anyhow, the ending of Season 1 was simply brilliant and I found myself wanting more but that means I would have to wait for a few months now since I finished Season 1 in less than 3 days...

For a 250 years old dead woman, she sure looks good!!!

Even the headless horseman knows how to use a gun!!!

Stay tuned for more of my latest obsessions on television shows!!!
