sorry i made some of you out there worry about me coz i haven't been updating! not to worry, im fine and am adjusting better now - by God's grace and of course through the daily chats with my family, the other half and friends:) i have been quite busy with work - even though im just doing the bare minimum. it seems that my subjects this semester are much more demanding and harder as compared to last semester. bah.

anyway for the past week, here's what i have been doing..

::meeting/catching up with friends::

met up with mich! we shared the sinfully delicious almond mocha gelato and a slice of chocolate decadence cake, and enjoyed a good long chat at death by chocolates - a well-known specialty dessert cafe in van. thanks for the treat babe:) we both agreed that the cheesecakes at true confections are better though! i havent uploaded the photos we took that day so here's one taken of us at true confections last semester before i left for home!


met up with ming and sulynn at tim hortons. it was nice catching up with them! much thanks to ming who lent me the dvd capturing dear schumi's last f1 race last year - which i unfortunately didnt get to watch coz i didnt have the tv in my apartment.

here's what i've missed so badly when i was back in singapore! haha. tim hortons' double chocolate donut:) finally satisfied my craving! yum.

met up with adelle for lunch at cafe crepe! this picture wasn't too well taken coz we took it ourselves. haha. anyways we had a good time chatting over our delicious crepes:) she went to the east coast over last year's reading break, so i was getting all the tips on where to go/eat in the different places there! adelle's favourite pastime is enjoying good food; so it was quite hilarious seeing her gushing over all the various specialty food in these places. haha.

adelle had a sweet tooth that day and she ordered nutella banana crepe (sounds fancy eh?) and i had the classic ham and cheese crepe! yummy:) the servings don't look big but they are very filling indeed.

::lslap & an upcoming trial::

lslap started this week and it was a busy day at the clinic for me. i took up 3 cases, one of which was a matter due to go on trial. this matter involved spousal abuse case again! and yet again, i will be defending the husband (i.e. the alleged wife-beater). sigh. it's quite a complicated story but in a nutshell, from what my client told me, he didnt assault his wife at all! in fact, his wife was the one who came after him with a chopper and all he wanted to do was to take the chopper away from her. perhaps she got injured in the struggle. quite drama eh? so this time, my client's not pleading guilty so it would be a full-blown trial. meaning that there would be a formal opening statement, examination, cross-examination and etc. that also means that more preparation would have to be done. bah. but it should be an interesting experience:)
