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...
