Movie of the Day:

I now Pronounce you as Chuck and Larry.

----

Was chatting with a few friends today, there are many of them happy for my good news. Handful of them wanted to meet up with me before flying off. Some, of course, even wanted me to buy them lunch/dinner. As the well known kedekut person as I am, I will only belanja roti canai kosong. NEED TO SAVE MONEY FOR UK!!!

The most touching part is, MunnSing said he'll try to make it to air-port on that day.

He is the first person who say that to me.

Thank you buddy. Really really appreciate that. 

Regardless you can make it on that day or not, I'll still be very happy. Because I know it's the thought/heart that count. Moreover, my flight is gonna be at mid night. So, I understand if you people cant make it.

As a reward to MunnSing for being such a great friend, I'll be nice to you and belanja you roti canai kosong with limau ice. Happy??

Thanks again to everyone who supported me and be by my side when I'm going through that stress period.

Love,

Nichole

Year 2 Result

----

Movie of the Day:

The Longest Yard

----

The night before the result day, I couldn't sleep.

The moment I fall asleep, I dreamt of me not getting my LLB certificate during the convocation. 

I'm freaking worry bout my results.

I seriously think I'm going to fail my Evidence paper as I had mental-blackout during that paper.

When I was driving to BAC, the nearer I get, more part of my body got numb.

My finger, then my arms, then my lips, then my face.

Eventually, whole body.

I moment I saw my result, I am speechless.

Dear fellow friends who supported me and gave me strength when I break down during my exam period, I owe you all a big fat thanks and gratitude.

I PASSED ALL MY PAPER!!!

Including my Evidence paper.

Thank you everyone. Thank you very much!!

Love,

Nichole

Oyster Sauce

Quote of the Day:

'The biggest mistake people make in life is not making a living at doing what they most enjoy,' - Malcolm S. Forbes

Was trying to get evidence into my brain then suddenly a scene came to my mind.

Remembering how Ah Yeow pull this really funny prank in the class last year.

It was his turn to present his research in Constitution and Administration tutorial.

On the white board, he wrote out all his research and no one notice this prank of his. Not even the lecturer, Mr Mark realized it.

His topic were Ouster Clause. Instead, he wrote oyster sauce throughout the whole board of research. 

He finishes his presentation and it was time for Mr Mark to evaluate his work, and to correct his mistake then only us copying his work. The moment we actually concentrate and ready to copy, then only we realized its oyster sauce instead of ouster clause.

And then he was summoned to do the correction.

Before he did the amendments, he made a statement.

'This prank actually show how attentive you are when I'm doing my presentation.'  

Although we all laugh at his silliness, but we all do know it isn't actually silly prank. It's a wake up call to all us brat to pay more attention to the class.

Well done Yeow Tzi Yi. 

Your prank make me the person in class today.

Love,

Nichole

I'm In Love..... Again....

----

Word of the Day:

bibliothèque. Library in French

----

I'm in love with the library...!!!

Yes, you get it right. I love the library.

For once, I finally manage to effectively do my revision in the library.

FYI, since primary school, I can never study in the library. 

Too much distractions.

But this time, I manage to minimize all the library distraction and focus on my own work. Kudos to me!!!

Reason behind this is because, my trusted MacBook at home is the bigger distraction than library's distraction!!!

Love,

Nichole

Desperate

----

Quote of the Day:

'I do not have any solution, but I certainly admire the problem,'- Ashleigh Brilliant

----

I desperately need to hit the gym but my studies pulling me back.

The effects of not getting lots and lots of exercise are, weight gain, brain not functioning well, bad time management, too much sleep, late for classes, not attentive, difficult to pay attention to things, lack of patience, look dull and boring, not active, lazy, skin look so bad and worst of all, falling sick as easy as eating rice.

ARGH!!!!!!!

Wait till my exams end, I definitely hit the gym again.

Till then, I shall stick my head to the books and drink more coffee.

Wish me luck.

Love,

Nichole

So refreshing

Words of the Day:

Je suis. I am in French.

----

Not sure if you find it contradicting, I am super exhausted with the whole 10 to 7 including Saturdays and Sundays revision thing, but I'm excited about it every single day and every single revision classes/session I find myself happier!!!

I wonder what makes me turn this stupid.

Normal smart people hates long hours revision classes/sessions...

I wonder....

 

Love,

Nichole

Exams against Life

----

Quote of the Day:

'Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished. If you're alive, it isn't' - Richard Bach

----

They says, college/university life is the best phrase of life one will get. How true is this? I say not really. At least not mine. You judge for me will you?

Continues few weeks of sleepless nights, finally I manage to finish all the coursework including Trust assignment and Evidence's VIVA (FYI, oral exam).

So, what's next?

Will I get back all the sleep I missed?

NO!!!!

A month to exam and BAC prepared us a whole hell revision months by having revision classes from 10 to 3 everyday including weekends. Yes, such dedicated college huh.

And what's the consequences of having such a college life?

It stripped off all my social life. An obvious example, people get sick of asking me out for gathering or what sort, and my answer will always a big fat no due to heavy school work.

So lets say, its fine to sacrifice my social life for better future, college life did not only allow me to have a handful of new buddies, it also ripped off my old buddies away from me. Example, a kind of close, or either better to say, used to be, my close friend celebrating 21st Birthday, and I'm not invited because I've been forgotten after long period of not keeping in touch.

Okay, benefit of doubt, friends are endless assets, you will lose some but sooner or later gaining more. College life broke my bridge to the outside world. Due to constant heavy work load, I'm stuck in front of the computer more than books and news. There are a whole collection of books pending on my table but I just couldn't squeeze out my time to finish them. Worst, I slowly lost interest in reading books now, except for Law text book.

Yes, books are pass time activities. Fine. College life brings me bad health. I have no extra hour for my gym. I would rather spend that hour for my short nap to power up my energy level. Without sports and long hours of computers, I suffer headache more often than before. 

Health can be heal by vitamin shots. Fine. College life made my closet miserable. Without proper shopping, some of my cloths are faded and a handful of them does not goes well with others. The amount of my heels dying are faster then getting a new ones. My shoe count had deteriorate. 

To conclude, college life not the same again as compared to last year's. Last year, I had such carefree college life which I regret so much now. Just another 2 months and I will regain my life. People out there, NICHOLE WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES OF SCHOOL WORKS AND WILL BE BACK!!! BEWARE!!!

As for now, end my 10 minutes potty break and back to my revision.

I can do it!!! I can pass my finals!!! I will go to Aber!!! I will be a smart law scholar!!!

Love,

Nichole

The Not So Great Holiday

----

Word of the Day:

Vacances. Holiday in French

----

Friday was my last revision class for evidence and also my last class for this semester.

I'll be having a 2 weeks break before class commence again. 

Shouldn't I be happy about the holiday?

I'm in a very confuse state of mind.

I'm happy because it is holiday.

This term seems to work the magic in me and give me the happy hormone.

And also I'll be sending my 2 weeks in Melbourne. AGAIN.

But in another hand, I'm depress.

Because it is going to me a hassle holiday.

Why so?

I need to do my Trust assignment during the holiday.

I need to prepare for my evidence's V.I.V.A.

I need to prepare for my exams.

Best of all, I do not have enough time to rest.

I'll be back from Melbourne on the 13th of June while my class commence on the 15th. How tiring is that can you imagine. Further, going to Melbourne means endless crazy shopping, endless road trip, endless visiting and endless activities. So I can only do my assignment or study in the midnight. Which means, endless late night or endless sleepless night. Sigh.

Anyway, its winter in Melbourne, so it'll be cold and fun!!!

Happy Holiday fellow readers!!

Love,

Nichole

My BFF...!! (In a vain voice)

----

Movie of the day:

Not another teen movie

----

Walking down the memory lane, I realise all these years, I do not have a permanent best friend. Yes, no doubt I have plentiful of close friend, but seriously, I do not have a really really close best friend where we'll do anything and everything together.

Kenny once told me that he evaluate all his friends/classmate after every semester to see if there's any 'worth' knowing friends. I hereby doing the same but to see if there's any plausible best friend candidate.

First stop, Kindergarten.  

I barely could remember any of my kindergarten schoolmates. All I know is, my first kindergarten is at Puchong, call The Polka Dot Kindergarten. And our uniforms are all polka dots. I finish my last year of kindergarten in another kindergarten located at Petaling Jaya. This very kindergarten provides lunch for us brats. And I love their lunch. Menu includes vegetable congee, shaped biscuit with cold cocoa drinks or sometimes soup. I like their vegetable congee the most. Even now I'm still thinking about that congee and no one, NO ONE can cook as good as the principle's congee. And guess thats the only vegetable congee I don't mind eating.

Number of candidate: Nil.

Second stop, Primary School.

My primary school, I am very proud to say, I am a SRJK (C) Choong Wen student. It's one of the oldest school. It existed even before the forming of Malaysia. Since year 1 till I graduated, I'm still in the same old class, ie, the stupidest class. I believe I mentioned this before, during my year 1, I made friend with this guy and we immediately became really close. We even made people misunderstand us. But good thing never last long. So, there goes a plausible candidate into the pool of failure candidate. As years goes by, I made friend with this really nice girl. We can spend hours and hours talking non stop. But, like I said, good thing never last long. She transfer to another part of KL. Even so, we still keep in contact till sometimes later, we both were too busy and thus another candidate into the pool of failure candidate. During primary school, the pool of classmate's future career is so wide that can be anything and everything. All different background, different personality and different ambition. 

Number of candidate: Zero.

Third stop, High School.

High School, the place I call life changing place. Year 1, I am such a badass. I mingle around all the wrong people. Thinking that I am cool. And the results of such life? Sucky results. Year 2, I am so traumatized by my sucky result and decide to turn over a new leaf. I do not really mingle around but manage to made friend with a few of smart people and went tuition with them, for the result's sake. And my result immediately increase dramatically and also the year I met Nicholas. Year 3, I am so freaking sad that with my result, I am allocated to the last class. I mean hell, base on my result, I should be allocated to a better class. In the last class, I manage to found about two to three classmate who are in the same shoe as me. But regardless of being in the last class, I studied even harder to emerge from that sucky class. But, I must say, in that class, I made alot of good friends. Year 3 is where I am being treated as a real friend and the smart one in the class; is where I met Pauline and MunnSing; is where I got the best student of the class award. However, the pool of classmate's future career is still as wide as ever. Year 4 and 5, we were centralized and separated base on our plausible future career. I'm in the sub-art stream where my classmates' future career will be mostly business or art related. And thus a better understanding between fellow classmates. But I was wrong, even when we all have a closer set of mind as compared to the science people, I do not really mingle well with them this is because everyone already had their very one clan. But I did met Alvin, GX, Shing Yi, Leeza and William. 

Number of candidate: 8

Forth stop, A Levels

Taylor's University College. Where the pool of possible future career drew smaller. Either economics, finance, law or mathematics (which is also economics). Here, I met alot of fine people. The one who gave a real big impact to me are, Jennifer, Roxanne, Elizabeth, Michelle, Cyril, Bee, Shane and Cheah Ying. I had lots of fun and learn so much from them. Needless to say, 18 months passed so fast that I do not even manage to get to know them better.

Number of candidate: 8

Fifth stop, Law Degree year 1

Help University College. Where everyone's passion are the same. Law. I had even more fun here. I became very muhiba. I learned the Indian culture, the Malay's culture and even some African culture. I started to attend parties invitation like Deepavali and Hari Raya. I went Nasi Bryani with fellow classmates and friday date with banana leaf rice. The consequences of such blissful and carefree life, crappy results and re-sit of exams. Nonetheless, I made the most close friend ever. They are, KahJun, Krystle, Justin, Syateer, Nithi, Jamie, Alyaa, Brindha, Kulthum, Naeem, Jamal, Sidaarth and Dya.

Number of candidate: 13

Sixth stop, Law Degree year 2

Brickfieds Asia College. Where all the possible year 3 classmates gather. These people, although I do not know them well enough yet, but I can see passion in them. They are all smart and hyper hardworking people. And also down to earth. However, I dedicate my year 2 to studies but not befriend. Hence, till now, the only classmate I talk the most to will be Julia, Kelly, Dhayalini, Bayzel, Lucas and Kiren. I sincerely hope that either one of them could be one of my plausible candidate, but they are yet to be. I do not know them well, yet. Perhaps another year or semester will do the trick.

Number of candidate: 0.

Total of plausible candidate: 0+0+8+8+13 =29

And the chosen one: NONE.

Reason?

Simple. Reason number one, some of them were at another side of the globe. Reason number two, as time passed, people change and we might not be as close as we used to anymore. Reason three, I couldn't pick any of them. They all have their very own personality. They are all very special and one of its kind. So, I rather have 10 friends than a best friend. They all can satisfy my different needs. They are all equally important to me. And I cherish all of them.

Love,

Nichole 

Word of the Week

----

Word of the day:

pauvre. Poor in French.

----

First and for most, I would like to give a great credit to someone so funny, important and freaking smart, Mr Arnold, to inspire me this post.

----

I'm having a 7 hours class in a stretch today. From freaking 10 to 5. No lunch taken. However, this is not what I want to say today, so lets move on.

Mr Arnold picked up where he drop last class, ie, charitable trust. So, we studies the main aim for having charitable trust, which is, okay, this is not my revision blog post, so not going to type the whole topics. Lets jump straight to the point I wanted to stress.

We came across this phrase, the prevention or relief of poverty. It's one of the charitable trust's categories. So, Mr Arnold, as usual transfer all his knowledge to us, and he mentioned this case, Re Coulthurst, where Sir Raymond Evershed M.R states that 'poverty does not mean destitution..... due regard being had to their status in life and so forth!'

Based on the statement, we started a fight. Not literally. And finally Mr Arnold manage to splash us some cold water to cool us down. Not literally. He made a statement himself. As long as you can show that you do not have enough money for tomorrow's living, it is sufficient to say you are in poverty. And this is how the law should be apply in this principle. This statement got us all shut up and confused. POVERTY DOES NOT MEAN DESTITUTION!!! 

So, lets say, I have 10 bucks today(Friday), and I bought dinner for myself, so I left 2 bucks for tomorrow. Do I consider in poverty now? Not really in Malaysia. We can get 7-Eleven's nasi lemak or mee goreng for only 2 bucks. So, I still manage to buy myself food for living. In this situation, can I say I am in poverty on Sunday? Yes. Hence, I am entitle to go for YMCA's sup kitchen since I'm in poverty and they are having sup kitchen for the benefit of the society, aim to prevent or relief poverty.

Ha!! I can apply what I've studied in the real life!!

Kudos Mr Arnald.

So, I'm in poverty now. Seriosly. I have to pay RM6.50 EVERYDAY for the freaking parking!! Is there someone, anyone, generous enough to have spare RM130 for me to go for law ball? Its a very kind thing to do to set up the charitable trust for my law ball ticket*!!!

  

Love,

Nichole
