+~a howl of pure ecstasy~+

14 December 2006

Finally got the time to sit down and start blogging. Work is still as busy as usual. Didn't expect my year end to be so hectic, shouldn't it by relaxing and slacking thru to 2007?

We have 1 trial coming up in January, which we think it's gonna be in the Law Journal. Just becuz of water seeping into the neighbours' house and refused to admit whose mistake, it took everyone 3 years to come to a settlement (hopefully). It isn't common for a STB (Strata Titles Board) suit to last so long and it'll be in the papers (most probably - for being the draggy-est suit), it got the whole office excited, especially for me (er hem! I'm the one handling the file)!
"Joey, we gotta go for trial on the 16th and 17th, and you're coming with me to take the notes of trial" "Really??! (grinz) This month?" "No. Next. January" Oh my god!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't it meant that I gotta spend my birthday in a Court?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My heart dropped~

It's only yesterday that boss told me he remembered the date wrongly (phew!). "It's on the 17th and 18th" But what's the diff?! I have a divorce hearing on the 16th (bloody shity Courts)! And I still gotta prepare for the trial the day before. Which imply that I'm gonna be extremely, super, duper busy on my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!! *CRY*

AEICs (Affidavit of Evidence In Chief) took us only 2 days to prepare, amendments after amendments... 1 AEIC is almost 100 pages thick, and we've got 2 AEICs, which 4 bundles of each have to be submitted to STB, 1 bundle for inter-party exchange and 5 bundles to be used on the trial... that makes 20 bundles!

We almost turn into Wonderwomen the next day due the binding of the AEICs. Haha! Lolx!

It does make me wonder that common folks are actually much better people and generous compared to the rich. He might not be well to do but it's the thought that counts right?

I have this client which we helped him twice without asking him for a single cent. He's only a packer with a wife and 3 kids to support. Yet he is so grateful to us that he brought us a hamper.

What touched me the most is that his son came to me with a nicely wrapped parcel in his arms, "jie jie for you". I was stunned. Can you believe that this kid is only 9 years old?

what's in it? Irene's fav Rocher & my fav darks

Don't think that chocolates are sweet and unhealthy. This choc numbed my tongue but according to boss, it's the healthiest!

it's fucking bitter~

Yaaaaaaaaawn~ nite nite!
