Is fun when you can balance work & play.

It’s true that I work long hours almost every night. It’s true that I have to deal with a lot of hearings @ trial in a week. It’s true that despite all the hearings & trials, I still have to come back to the office at the end of the day to revert to client’s query in email, to send legal opinion @ advice, to draft agreements, contracts, etc. And it doesn’t help that 1 of my team mate (a very very senior fella) who just joined our team has left the firm after just about 2 weeks & 2 days. *sigh*

Oh well… That’s practising & specializing in Employment Law here, I guess. It does help that the firm that I works in is always trying to find time to play (despite the workload & exploding datelines). Some time soon, our firm is going to have the “Sandwich Making & Sandwich Eating Competition”. That would be fun, I guess. Haha… And of course, I am not going to participate :p

2 weeks backs we had dart competition. That was fun! Surprisingly, my team was among the winning teams. Hee… The losers had to finish drinking 1 glass of beer (only! - Yeah, they should have drank the whole tower! :p)

Oh well… Those are the things that lawyers do to make themselves happy, I guess. Hence, the principle (sort of - the unwritten ones) in the firm - No one works late on Friday night… (Since we’re coming in over the weekends anyway… Hee).

I am on leave tomorrow (10 April 2009) & on Monday (13 April 2009) as well! I think I deserve to go on leave. First, because it is Good Friday tomorrow and it is Easter on Sunday! Second, of course I just need a break from work! *bleh*

On Saturday night, I’m going to have barbeque party (sort of) with my boyfriend and his cousins, aunt and maybe some of their friends. That would be fun! It’s our pre-Easter celebration. I’m really looking forward to that. Which reminds me, I have to go and pre-order that cute jelly cake that my nephew had for his 1st birthday. Hee… Yeah, the difference now is that we want it for a pre-Easter cum someone’s 28th birthday! Hee… A cute jelly cake will do the event just fine! Don’t cha think so? Haha…

No, a lawyer is not all serious and dull… Not all prim and proper. A lawyer always go and have fun in his or her own way too! (As of most normal people would do). It’s just that the idea of fun would differ between individuals, of course.

And guess how does my office desktop looks like? I bet most people would imagine that a lawyer will have the “Windows Wallpaper” on their desktop with a lot of unfiled saved documents there! Well, not mine… *bleh* I do have some unfiled saved documents… Hee… But I never use a default windows wallpaper for mine! Hee… Here’s how my office desktop looks like:

Yes, that’s a picture of a Yorkie!!! A cute Yorkshire Terrier! But no, it’s not mine… *sigh* I wish it is though. But I know I won’t have the time to spend on a Yorkie… And I won’t have the patience as well actually. Hee… But it’s just so cute!!!

So yeah… There you got it, random rambling from me
