Is it the last day of October already?!
how time dashes by in a blink of an eye. gosh, it is ridiculous. (tsk tsk tsk) :P
But i'm glad the whole month did not dissapoint.
not going to say much to elaborate on my previous post - just that everything was oh-so FABulous!!
The stand ups, the musical, the weddings.
Oh, last night's wedding dinner was almost perfect. Jap Buffet in Shangri La - so delicious! i can still taste the Oyster in my mouth (oh.. yuk), the passion fruit/mango desert. what was that?! i want to have it somemoooooore. and her dress... so simple, yet so elegant. (thank god there was NO slide show with a corny background theme song.). Sham and i burst out laughing in the middle of the previous wedding lunch (2 weddings this month, remember) when we heard the slide show's music (which went on and on and on throughout the reception) playing for the upteenth time that day. Note: get good DJ/ more then 5 songs in playlist/no slide shows on auto play mode, please!
... self check.
yikes.
OK. i must confess - i HAVE been mentally taking notes.
from the dress, to the food, to the venue, the setting, the music, the photography, the guest list, the speech .. oh my goodness even to the color of the napkin.
i AM freaking myself out.
i wonder whether he does it too?
:P
bye bye October 2010.
Hello, November!!

to Laugh Out Loud
i knew October was going to be good. and it seems like it's getting better and better...
kicked off 4th October with winning my first Security for Costs hearing. Sure, a "mere interlocutory application" some would say.. but to face a senior lawyer (6 years seniority), topped with undue pressure from Boss - "Shobana, we can't lose this".. "you sure you can handle this, on your own??" [edit: OK la. let's not dramatize - 'twas not "undue", i know.. ;) ] and then to finally kicking ass before the Registrar and winning the application ... was aaawwesome! :) oh, did i say i was 5 days short from my first year mark in the profession that day?
wookeeyyy... all this boasting is giving me a heartburn.
But yeah, October is going to be good.
Watched Eat Pray Love last night (as predicted, i loved it). but that's not my point - on the way to the cinema from work to watch the movie - i won 2 tickets to the coolest stage performance ever!
Thanked my lucky star when FlyFm rang me up after my first sms. one sms! damn lucky. had to laugh out loud like a moron on national radio to win them tix - but it was all worth it. i love radio contests! i love the month of October!
and oh, Pluck's in town! catching them with mum, sis and Vek next Fri. Mum managed to book tix on time (way to go, mummy).
not to forget 2 blessed occasions. . family friends' kids getting married next weekend and the weekend after. (granted, i'm more concerned of the wonderful dinners, and of course - to have a reason to dress up :P ) LOL.
Octoberrrrr... a wonderful crescendo to my more anticipated November.
blessed.

ennui
the digital dial on my laptop reads 7.44 pm.
here i am, in the office. immersed in papers, files, and more papers and files. i am supposedly in the midst of drafting a witness statement.. WAS in the midst of drafting a witness statement. i stopped bout.. er.. 15 minutes ago to digress and surf the net.
that was when i stumbled upon this cool cool blog on cool electrical gadgets/tech thingamajigs.. cameras, laptops, handphones, pdfs.. the blogger actually owned practically everything he blogged about. and his write ups on these gadgets were pretty impressive. i could tell he had so much passion in them. passion...
sometimes i envy those who have so much passion in something. me? i don't know what i'm passionate about, really. surely, if i'm passionate about something, it'll be obvious enough that i need not ponder. guess that's that then. i am not passionate bout anything. that sounds sad.
but on the contrary. i'm far from that. far from being sad. sure, i'm not exactly the bubbliest of all people. but sad? hardly.
still, that doesn't answer my question. WHAT am i passionate about?
There has to be something.
At the meantime, probably i should get back to that witness statement. need to stop talking about myself, and start focusing on my client's story. wonder whether my client has anything he's passionate about...
