Random thoughts

I am starting to get the hang of Property Law. Its f*****g hard but I am trying. The worst thing about it is trying to understand what the hell the sentences mean in the first place. I mean, how are you going to understand the concept of it when the explanation doesn’t make sense in the first place? For example, I was stumped when I read this: “Problems arose with respect to the estate pur autre vie if the holder of the estate pre-deceased the cestui que vie.”* WTF??? I don’t speak Latin! Ended up having to check the dictionary numerous times since I have no idea what words like “estates”, “servient tenements”, “tenures”, "easements", “seisin”, “profits a prendre”, “restricted covenant” AND MANY, MANY MORE meant. *head spins around in circles* :S It’s all about theory and there’s no warmth in it at all. Hate dry subs like that. I need a good tutor.

Kenny Sia is so freaking funny I could read his blog all night. I wish I had that kind of humour and that flair for writing. It’s inborn, you can’t learn how to do it or fake it.

I recently realised that I have been able to come out of my shell a little and speak truthfully to my friends about some of the problems I have with them. I used to be so afraid that they would hate me that I would just talk to other friends about it instead of speaking directly to the person I had a problem with. Which of course, didn’t resolve anything and it was just a cover-up for a time bomb waiting to explode. I also realised that if I kept going to talk to other friends about it, it may come across as bitching/gossiping behind backs. I assure you that this is not so. Mainly because when I have a problem, I usually go to people for advice. And for them to be able to advise me, of course I would have to tell them my problem right? I’m not the sort of person who can bottle things up (because I will go crazy) so I need people to talk to.

I understand that no one is perfect and that if I make a mistake or become unbearable, I also want to be told so that I can correct it. I greatly appreciate the fact that we are all friends and can speak openly about things with each other. It shows that our relationship has reached a level where everyone can be (brutally *lol*) honest with each other. So, to *blah*: Thanks for understanding. Thanks for graciously accepting what I was trying to say, even though you may not have understood it. Thanks for apologizing cuz it meant a lot. And thanks for always being available for a serious and honest chat when I needed one, despite how busy you are. I’m trying to be a better person. Cheers to our fearsome foursome.

I had this dream which left me in tears a couple of days ago. I dreamt that Yuanny was at the airport leaving for the U.S. (which she already is in) and I was sending her off. All I remember is giving her a hug and telling her something like, I’m sorry that we haven’t caught up much and that we’ve missed out on so much of each others’ lives. And that I will miss her very much since we’re not going to be able to see each other in a long time. And I started to cry in my dream, and when I woke up, my face was covered in tears. It made me realise how much I miss her and the good ‘ol primary and secondary school days when we used to write letters to each other and talk on the phone for hours on end about everything. It’s been 10 years. We’ve both grown, taken different paths in life and had our own share of happiness and sorrow. And even though we’ve not been communicating as much as I’d like (partly my fault), she’ll always be special to me.

Good luck for your test Mich!! After that you can treat yourself (and us) to apple pie!! :)
