But I'm OK with it Had dinner with Janey on the same day She gave me a lot to think about I was thinking what should I do post exam Although I had dates and a trip with my friends I would like to do something productive I cleared up my exam pile today Posted a job application Tidied my wardrobe Although ill be in charge of organizing an event for ALSA I would like to do something else Two months before the release of results Gotta think this carefully

Exam preparation and storytime

I think i can afford the time to write a post regarding my exams. As my last paper is 2.5 weeks away. I was studying every day from mid April to mid May. As I had 3 papers within 1 week. (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) Time really flies, in a blink of an eye ive already sat for 3 papers. So im just going to blog about my crazy exam week. To be honest there was not really any drama ongoing, it was just a very stressful week. For the tort paper on Monday,  I managed to finish the requisite 4 questions. Although the 4th answer could have been more complete by mentioning and arguing more issues. Meanwhile, from Tuesday till Wednesday i was in a state of anxiety. As i really wanted to do well for my Intellectual Property paper. Considering that it is a subject i love and had put more effort in it. Unfortunately i only managed to answer 3 questions and i only wrote the outline and relevant cases for the 4th question. I would not say that I regret for not working hard enoug...

Productive routine and new music introductions

My exam is just less than one month away. Unfortunately i don't have any time to waste as my exam schedule is crazy this year. I have papers on the 15th, 17th and 19th of May, and i know its going to be super intense. Which is why i committed myself to a 30 day intense revision routine. Since i need to simultaneously prepare for 3 subjects, i gave myself 10 days for each subject. I've started my trust revision, after 10 days, ill switch to tort followed by intellectual property. I'm just ended day 5 of my trust revision. It's crazy, ive never felt so committed in my life. Every day i wake up at 6am, exercise at 6:30a.m and then visualize my goals. And then i spend an average of 6 to 7 hours each day in my studies. Despite being swamped in notes, past year papers, essays that ive written (one of my oens are about to run out of ink), i did notice the changes in me and the power of sticking to a routine with discipline. Ive never felt so productive in my life, ...

Common decency

I guessed I learnt a lesson called empathy today. Today I received a message from a friend asking me something legal related I spent some time searching for neccessary info to give him the best answer I can. But I did advise him to conduct more research on his own before making a decision. So i was wondering if he actually read my message since it seems quite important. But then i realised he read my message but never left a response. I was a bit offended to be honest. And I felt that he only finds me when he has problems. Last week out of the blue he asked me something IT related. I know nuts about that to be honest. I admitted i had no idea but i googled and posted what seemed to be the neccessary links anyway. I know what I was expecting actually. Just a thank you. I thought it was common decency. I started thinking about relationships between people, and I think I would rate this so called person as an acquaintance. I watched the latest episode 'You can you up' ...

Music and Life

Decided to give my blog a more simple look and finally change the ridiculous name for my blog site. Don't ask me why, it was a spur of the moment. Anyway, what Im not going to do is to delete my previous blog posts. All of them had just shown how far Ive came. Its sad yet endearing at the same time. And I can go back to recall some funny moments back at high school. What came across to my notice was how music played a part of my life. Recently i only felt that its presence was just getting stronger. It was an outlet for me I realized that although i suck at piano,  I still had a good ear to appreciate music when it comes along my way. Grateful for that. I was at despair for a moment when I accidentally deleted the 300+ songs in my phone. But probably its a blessing at disguise because it prompts me to explore and listen more. My phone is filled with English songs at the moment, although Chinese and Cantopop still holds a dear place in my heart. Probably its because I...

Random post

Ugh, its 1:38am and I decided to write a new post because I spent the past hour stalking another's blog. Geez, what a weirdo. Yeah I know. Im wondering if its all the exam stress creeping up to me. There's 44 days left after all. I want to perform well for my 2nd year. There's the thing in me being a perfectionist. It reminded me of the time early this year when I was receiving my award for my year 1 results (which was a surprise to me with also surprisingly an A for CLRI) I told myself that for 2017, uphold your standards and get your ass back up on stage next year. Basically it was a pep talk for me to reenact my success. Although I don't give a shit about Trusts, I do care about Intellectual Property A subject which, I followed my gut feeling and took it despite veering off from the conventional route. A subject which, I came to love and put in effort to study. A subject which, I would like to ace it to prove that getting good results depends on your ...

I have not forgotten my blog

After not writing anything for a year I think its time to reflect and regroup And ironically im doing this at 1am Man, so much has happened for a year Am in year 2 of my law degree Having exams soon and ill be in year 3 during September I think what the past year has taught me was to embrace yourself and the future you strive to build I always chose to live in a fast pace, i loved to learn new things that I think would be beneficial for my future But somehow i let that all define me. Because the fear was real. How would I define myself when i don't have the qualifications or the credentials? Who am I then? In a cutthroat world outside the walls of university, the competition, the intensity, the politics of working life somehow seem so real and scary. But above all of it, who are you? I was struggling to find that answer But the experience of this one year has taught me to take it as it comes Reflect my core values And continuously explore many facets of my perso...
