i always wanted a song written with my name in it.

Like Carol,

or Amanda.

the first i found was called Kimberly's Ghost.

sadness ttm.

on the condition that he doesn't write a song dissing me when we break up

i want a boyfriend like Taylor Swift.

i've played the nice girl, the bimbo, the fierce "lawyer", the idealist, the alien.

but, i've never played this role before. it's interesting. and quite tragic.

HAHAHAHA

Sms from one of the girls: "Hey kim are you free to talk? Can i call you after i shit?"

my goodness. i feel so free and available today.

i'm using facebook effectively and replying wallposts efficiently.

i've replied all my smses (except ron's yesterday, which is an impt msg, which i will reply to after typing this blog)

i didn't do any work after coming home!

i packed my room spontaneously (at least 5% of it)

so nice and free.

met another crazy-cool woman on friday. she isn't the magical age of 26 as the previous 2 ladies were, but she sure looks like it.

she came from a family of doctors. decided she wanted to go law school and told the profs during the interview that she wanted to come to law school because: "I don't believe in paying someone to tell me what my rights are." and den followed it up with saying: "So, are you going to take me or not?"

nearing graduation, she went for an interview with one of the large-medium sized firms in Singapore and told them her 5 year game plan to make partner.

she was crazy focused. sophisticated. determined. pretty. confident.

coolness ttm.

but that particularly encounter had unhealthy aftereffects on me.

awesome women

hey ya'll. i've been waiting for this, this, this!!!!

Worked on this case when i was on internship at Colin Ng and Partners and i was the one taking the minutes and WE WOOONNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (not that our winning had anything to do with our minutes or that i even contributed in any substantive way)

and get this. it was a Court of Appeal case (Highest Court in the WWS i.e. World-Wide-Singapore). the lawyer who fought the case was my roomie for 2 weeks (or rather, i barged into her personal space during the internship and received free entertainment from her). the lawyer has 2 kids, is pregnant and is only 26. and she's FEMALE! although i think the fact that she's 26 and pregnant makes it alot cooler. she was the first among her peers to fight a CoA case.

oh. my. goodness.

so cool right. she's as cool as my 26 year old Prof who looks like a Girl's Generation Member.

I KIDD YOU NOT! of coz her eye bags (i.e. My PROF not the lawyer) are alittle darker and she's a little curvier. and she's not just cool coz she's pretty. she's BRILLIANT. when she was teaching me an unfathomable subject a year back, she was an associate in a law firm AND teaching as an adjunct faculty of, and i repeat, an UNFATHOMABLE SUBJECT, as her hobby. AND she could answer ANY question we threw at her. she was crazy witty and funny and deadpan. (she was witty to the point of ppl taking her awesome sarcasm too seriously and being DEAD afraid of her) and so sophisticated. and so open and available. And she actually LIKES the UNFATHOMABLE SUBJECT. (it's called Equity btw. google it. it's unfathomable.)

anyway, this post is not about her. but about Ms. Court of Appeal. she was an adorable and inspiring roommate. 26!!! in the court of appeal!!! in front of 3 of the most brilliant minds in WWS! and whatmore, the opposing lawyer was really quite unpleasant. i thought of a more apt but ruder word to use but decided not to.

i still recall the day before her CoA hearing. She seemed quite contemplative that afternoon after lunch so i didn't talk to her, thinking she must be busy tying up the loose ends for the case. she broke the silence at 3pm, exclaiming how the SIngapore Academy of Law was giving out free tickets for Salt but she missed it. and so we talked.

"Eh. how come you're looking at SAL's website? Aren't you busy preparing for tomorrow?" I asked.

"Huh? no lah."

"Really ah? You looked so busy for the last hour i didn't dare talk to you."

"Oh. I was reading wikipedia about Marilyn Monroe."

and den we LOL-ed. good times.

she was really so cool.

and she invited me to sit in the court with her. INSIDE. to take minutes.

she made me feel like a worthy intern.

what a lawyer. what a friend.

been feeling very dazed and alien recently. like i'm floating around.

who am i and why am i here?

watching charlie st cloud made me even more dazed.

it feels like i have stars in my head. a neverending galaxy. all my work has evaporated away. it echoes in the distance - and i just live through what i just saw play out on my screen. something real. something sweet. something foreign.

my heart doesn't ache. my eyes aren't wet. i'm just dazed.

love and romance is wonderful. if human romance is only a fraction of what God's love is like, i can't wait for my simple mind to fully comprehend what His love is like in it's entirety.

im just wondering

do all (good) guys like gentle, long skirted, soft-spoken girls?

i've never really like poems, but this,

Pablo Neruda - Love Sonnet XVII

I do not love you as if you were a salt rose, or topaz
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
So I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep

i just realized, i ate animal's blood 1 and a half years back. O_O

i went to Bae Yong Jun restaurant during my stint at Legal Aid and and decided to try DBSK's favourite dish. and to think it was innocuously called "sausage soup".

sorry.=( (it tasted as hideous as it looks)

lies. help.
