I can hardly believe that it's been three months already since my last paper. And now, my results would probably be out by next week. I'm anticipating. Well, not really. But it's a fact I have to face, albeit it could be a real hard one too.

I had few trips planned and postponed, done a number of impromptu outings, some plans drawn but canceled, worked for a good two months, met a lot of people and answered a few false panic attacks.

I would say it had been a holiday well spent. Doing absolutely nothing. Nothing as in without having to worry about anything or any responsibilities to account for. Except for, of course, dreading for that one day to come when I'll open that envelope with an eye shut and the other squinted swallowing in my own thumping heart in my own mouth.

When I started work in June, I had plenty in mind. Knowing that I'll have to answer to job commitments, there'll be plans to be put on hold and sacrifices to be made. Like going out late nights when everyone else is back and missing a whole lot of wacko fun. But no doubt, during those two months I learnt invaluable experiences I cannot find in textbooks. I followed my superior and his partners to Courts and saw how real lawyers in the real world in action, followed him to various departments I never knew existed, worked on real lawsuits and assisted him in conducting seminars to real corporate people. I have to say it was overwhelming and a lot of thrill. For the first time, I understood why people wants to be in the rat race. It really was kind of cool! But I won't want to be trapped anyway.

Went for a trip up north in Penang with Ivan and his family.
 

Met up old buddies.


Went skating for the first time! I did pretty well as a first timer as I've got some rollerblading background. I started rollerblading since 6 and can say to be a pretty good one too!


Steamboat after skating.


Partied a bit.




Went to Quatro and this is their cool Winter room. It was literally freezing in there!




In the meantime, lotsa hugs and cheers to my babe for being crowned Miss Melbourne Chinese International 2009!
 
Woot! :)

Saw my sick friend who was later tested positive for H1N1. Was quite worry at first. To make things worse, Ivan fell sick for a few days a week after that. Had fever on and off but never exceeding 38 degrees but thank God he's okay already. Just barely three weeks before that, he was admitted to the hospital for a week after a persistent headache for 4 days. Found out it was only a sinus infection. Phew! Thank God again it wasn't anything too serious! Boy, this guy really loves to scare the hell out of me, doesn't he?
