He kept asking me in his gravelly voice, are you happy?
And then I realised that that was truly the definition of love
The ardent wish to make that person happy
Not a desire to possess, not even the pain of heartbreak
But a wish for his happiness, always.

Sugar Ray

Did you know that the “halo” referred to in the song means a condom? I totally didn’t know. Bizarre. Anyway my sunday mornings are a lot more wholesome- today was sweeeeet! Especially with my Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie. *gringringrin* I’ve been using a lot of cream and berries in my baking lately- inspired by the [...]

Becoming personal.

I don’t know if it’s just me but law school appears to be falling apart at the seams, especially with regard to certain social circles. I’m mostly an onlooker. I make my comments to Tim, but not much else. Since the first cracks appeared last year, I’ve learned to keep my distance. Some observations:
1) People [...]

Okay I don’t hate hate clubbing. It, like everything else, has its ups and downs. We went to Butter Factory yesterday night- nice place, too much smoke. I can’t wait for the smoking bans to come next July. It was slightly strange attempting to dance without a trace of alcohol in my blood but not [...]

“Clubbing”

Is an awful thing. I hate seeing people get drunk. I hate being eyeballed by lians and bengs outside ‘Zhuk’. I hate when people take forever to decide whether they’re gonna go in and get mad at each other because they can’t agree. I hate the pretense, the deftly machinated delusion of self importance because [...]

Life’s been so happy. I love the holidays.
When Frances french braids my hair. Biting into a piping hot raspberry cream cheese muffin. Cuddling my brother while we watch cartoons together. Screeching to hit the high notes. Suppering and watching my self control dissolve before a fluffily crispy casuarina prata. Strolling through Orchard in illegal skirts [...]

YUMS

Have added Caramel Pecan Cheesecake, Lemon Meringue Pie and Strawberry Banana Muffins to my repetoire. Yes, repetoire. *grin*
Kisses to Mischy and Fio for coming to help! You guys were indispensible! I love baking with friends. =)

On Death

In Salisbury, en route to the famed cathedral, we chanced upon a lovely store that sold all sorts of charming knicknacks. They also had a collection of intriging books two of which Tim and I bought just for keepsakes, for posterity. I present here the text of one of those books, a poem anonymously authored [...]

I don’t understand the obsession with wearing bras at home. Firstly I hardly even need one- support simi? Secondly, I’m at HOME dammit.
I’m angry because my mom just told me I’m being sinful. I was so stunned. Sinful??????
I’m at a loss for words. I feel like I’m in Pleasantville.
If I ever become a bra-burning fanatic [...]

It fucking annoys me that people assume I got the A&G position because of connections.
Being able to secure a place for an attachment and for pupillage are two entirely separate issues.
My aunt is not a partner in the firm and it is the partners who do recruitment of legal staff.
The partner I interned under did [...]
