Occasional peek in my daydream

Well,
Arguments is part and parcel of life, right? Have you ever given any thought on the aftermath of an argument? Obviously I have :p
Sometimes, when I daydream after an argument, I'd mentally rehash the conversation in my daydream, fine-tuning and improving my performance. In my fantasized version, I make the perfect comeback remark and score the debate-winning point, and then I'd have a silent lamentation in my mind for not coming up with all this brilliance during the argument.
The end.

Balancing Act

There's the usual stuff I juggle in my life. Family, friends, studies, church. Now I've gone and dug myself a grave. I'm working. My finals just around the corner, but I'm simply not stirring from my slumber. I'm worrying myself. If it makes sense. Anyway, job or no job, I gotta give my studies priority above all else for the next 3months. Not to say I'm quitting my part time job, certainly NOT!!!
Just gotta balance it out. That's right.

Dear uncle from the land down under,

Contrary to what u might conceived from the title, I ain't addressing a zombie.

Fact is, we're having an old Australian friend of my dad staying over in our house for 3nights before he heads to KL. Tonight's his last night here and boy am I gonna miss him. What started out as a lil' piano playing to entertain him on the 1st day turned into a karaoke session that stretched into midnight. With me trying my level best to play (with googled chords) some oldies I have never even think of attempting b4, n him singing into my lousy attempt but enjoying it very much. He'd request a song, I'd google it on my iPad n we'd both attempt it together. Funny how both of us glued ourselves to the iPad! Hahah dun think I'd ever try songs like 'Mr.piano man' and the sorts ever again. :p

Anyway, what came from him the very next morn is another song request.. .. .. ..by Adele!!! Fancy an uncle in his 50s keeping up with musics that top charts!! Haha my dad wouldn't have had the slightest clue who Adele is. In fact, I didn't know she has a song called set fire to the rain if it wasn't for unc.

All in all, it was really enjoyable to have him here. Guest of the year I'd say (though it's only Feb rite now :P), most kind and gentlemanly.

PS: I almost lost a bet (involving a precious plate of char kuey tiao!!) to him. Who would have known Avril Lavigne is not from Australia huh?? She look Australian. Hahaha but I didn't lose, ALMOST. Cuz she's not American either :P Canadian apparently. Now THAT is music to my ears. Hehe.

I feel strangely cheeky today. Hahahaha uh. Nvrmind.

No watch.

I stopped wearing watches. (Time freezes when I'm with u)

What's wrong with me? Cheesy.

FIME FEST.. ?

I had commercial class today. I was so looking forward to it. I love this subject. Mr. Jason was s'pose to come in. But wait? Mr. Daniel? Daniel Bong? I blinked. There was no mistake, it's HIM. He placed his bundle of lecture materials on the desk, look at us and did a dramatic freezing motion. "No! Dun leave! I'm just here for a session, JUST for this week okay? Mr.Jason is coming back next week" he assures us, then he walked out hurriedly.

Weeeell, I never did have any intention of leaving. Honest. I dun travel ALLLL the way to KL to skip the only class I have that day. Oh but poor Mr. Daniel Bong, (a lil' history here..) he taught law of trust, HAD 2 groups, but both dwindled into nothing. I was in 1 of his group, and there were only 2 students left by week 3 - Me and my friend (we really enjoyed that private tutoring, worth our fees paid, haha). But we were also there to tell him that we're not joining his class anymore. Our group was shut down, his other group met the same fate. Tragic :'(

Anyway, he (yah, Mr.Bong) entered class moments later, shut the door and gleefully make an announcement that made me wonder why I'm still here, right now, in this class, breathing the same polluted air, as him.

"Alright class!" he picked up his bundle of photocopied materials "Time for a TIME TEST. MUEHEHEHE" sinister was his laughter. (the laughing part was my imagination, i hope.) Sneaky lil'...! Pay back time huh? No wonder he was persuading us not to pack our bags and run for our lives la.

Not like I was going to run anyway, I found his class informative, although sometimes too deep, when he's in his own world of trust. Definitely, superbly well read for a 22year-old(?) fresh graduate. He was an international mooter, the moot team coached by him this year, needless to say, championed the international moot competition in Korea. However, I wonder, maybe he was fine-tuned to be so deep that students like us can't quite catch him at times??

Anyway, back to da problem at hand Misterrr. Wat's this? =.=

I took the unwelcome-ed sheet (u can pronounce it as 'shit', i'm cool) of problem from him and scanne... WAIT. My heart skipped a beat.

MUEHEHEHE, I RECOGNIZE THIS QUESTION. IT'S ONE OF THE QUESTION AMONG MR.JASON'S SAMPLE ANSWER, I SAW IT THIS MORNING.

I didn't laugh out loud okay. I remember see-ing this exact question in one of the sample answer Jason printed out for us. Haha. Then Daniel Bong says its an open book test! So I magically pull out that sacred piece of material from my bag. and my neighbours saw it. Both of them keep taking it away from me for 'reference' (copy la copy la). OKAY I GIVE UP! I DUN WANNA HAVE THE SAME ANS AS U GUYS. TAKE IT.

I didn't get to use it :( good thing also la, I need this practice. So i read the question, and tried to answer on me own. Arrrr!

"Q8. Hamlet Ltd ('Hamlet'), a retailer of oil and petrol, seeks legal advice about its rights and obligations in ALL of the following situations.

(a) Hamlet agrees to buy from MacBeth Ltd 100,000 litres of crude oil from a cargo of 500,000 litres at present in a container ship. 3 other buyers also each purchase 100,00 litres from the same source. All the buyers paid 50% of the purchase price at the time of contracts. When the ship eventually arrives at the Port and unloads its cargo, it is discovered that some of the oil has leaked from the vessel and there are only 300,000 litres left."

That's part (a), the only part I manage to complete in 45mins. How sad is that?

Anyway, what do you think? Do you think Hamlet paid the 5o% like what the others buyers did?

I saw the word 'Hamlet AGREES to buy' and assumed that his contract is not that of sales but merely an 'agreement to sell' by McB. So I did the WHOLE 1.5 page on the basis that Hamlet didn't pay the 50% like how the other 3 buyers did. AND THEN, Mr. Daniel discussed it on the basis that he is a buyer and paid the 50% just like the other buyers.

Meh. GG.com.

I takut, so I balik check Examiners Report for that 2009 ques. Their comments is...so general, so plain. I think I've discussed everything that they stressed on, ie relevant statutes and case laws. But a different interpretation of the facts lead to grossly distinctive outcome from that of Mr. Daniel's. My poor virtual client didn't quite make the cut. His 'Hamlet' (who paid the partial sum) successfully argued a case. Hahah this is exam though, the facts are always vague and subject to different interpretation by students. SO, maybe I'm not wrong. Maybe there's hope :) Or maybe I am wrong.

Oh, did I mention? He wants us to pass up whatever we've written at the end of the lesson. Ringssss (half crazy, i hear it in my head). Class ended. Doris help me pass it up. I can see my handwriting at the very top of the pile. He stared down at it (silently reading? OMG. 5sec dy. Why is nobody else passing up theirs???! Block mine!) and nobody else pass up theirs. He walked out. I cabut.

PS: I'm not a Mr.Daniel-hater despite what I wrote here, it's still about the TIME TEST or Fime Fest (for those with short tongues) as per the title. Rest assured, my chest is filled with nothing but respect towards him. Remember that. and suck it in.

'Ello :)

I've not forgotten this blog (start wif defensive mode on? Guilty laaa..), just been a lil' bit preoccupied with work recently. Too many classes, I'm falling behind, gotta catch up. And... family day's coming up soon! I mean, this Saturday (26th Nov)! Expect some updates! hehe I love my life. Ciao. ;)
