i spent the past hour or so reading someone's blog. i've come to like her writing style, of her romanticised writing that is just so appealing. i've come to learn of her life in bristol and how she made life so fulfilling and enriching as a law student. a high 2:1 with such a great balance during her uni years - bar crawls, numerous socials, travelling around europe, picking up french, ballroom dancing, interning in london... and now a bright future with a pupillage in a major law firm. now that's a true role model.
apart from that, i've successfully completed my Contract essay. i spent the whole day perfecting it., though it probably still isn't anywhere near perfect. and i've still got the Tort essay, plus three tutorials to conquer in the coming week.
today is mommy's birthday and i'm not able to celebrate it with her. somehow, i feel bad / sorry for myself for not being able to celebrate these happy moments with my family now that i'm away. i feel helpless and constrained cos i'm thousands of miles away and the only form of communication is via the internet. thank God for webcam seriously. but nothing beats physical presence. i'm thinking of buying a cake from patisserie valerié back home for my mum when i return next week. my mom was so hyped up about their cakes and pastries when she saw them the other time; but we were in a rush and she didn't get the chance to indulge in them! i've tried a couple of their cakes and they are really awesome albeit pricey. any ideas or suggestions as to how i should carry a cake back to sg on board a 13-hour flight?
