Last day at JTJB.. will I be back again? Gonna miss the pple here!

Dedication entree to the pple who've made me realise that working isn't all work and no play, the funky, cute, fun-loving, hardworking, witty and amusing pple in JTJB:

These pple have really made my 1 month stint here rather enjoyable, despite the long working hours and the difficulties of getting work done due to my inexperience. Think I shall give a brief summary of what went on in the past 4 weeks! Hahaha..

Week 1: The Bailey Case

First time I ever stayed back to work until 2 am and actually come back to work the next day. And also took MC on my 3rd day of work, cos really had a bad headache from staying up so late! Haha.. but nevertheless, it was fun. In fact, it was so fun I went back on saturday morning to join them in the hunt for missing documents, and the massive photocopying job. Actually apart from searching for documents and a lot of filing, "discovery" they call it, I don't think I can recall very much from the 1st week of work. Oh, aside from ordering mac and having lots of fun singing along with grace, making fun of kevin n seeing the exasperated yvonne squeal in frustration, with the ever chatty n extremely cute michelle and ah bengish kenneth ho. really nice of the associates to work with us n not put on airs or anything. oh n other than the "ah boy" incident. n michelle giving me a nickname "attachee" or "atap chee" that somehow stuck. n grace demonstrating her choir skills. the most hilarious week ever. haha!

Week 2: Real work starts - finding a nice makan place

Going to court, preparing affidavits, doing research for cases, and more photocopying for the Bailey case. Not to mention a lunch treat by Mr Murali! The place where we ate was near the office, previously my mum brought me there before too. Food was great! Other than the expensive lunch, the quartet of pupils had a nice time searching for good food around shenton way too. I can't remember but i think one day we stayed back to do the Bailey case again, had to refile most of the stuff. Gosh, think i'll have bailey-phobia. haha. i think if i remember correctly, even the secretaries helped out. rachelle's a very nice girl, whom i later realised had "connections" to the firm as well! haha.. but kevin was nice, he gave us a treat at the western food place, even though the food kinda sucked, small portion and quite expensive. but of cos aside from food, the fellowship was good. hehz. good to have christian or catholic friends in such a working environment.

Week 3: Work affects my emotions?

I think this was the week about access for the child of one of the office staff. was quite disheartening seeing the judge deal with such matters so nonchalently. made me even more eager to get into a position to put things right in the future. but anyway there was a new attachee fenghao i think. and went on a delivery with kevin, had a super nice lunch at the worker canteen in some ulu pandan place. also went for the criminal hearing in chambers, seeing him such a sad state, being an old man with a family and facing the consequences of 9 month jail term. the law should seek to punish evil-doers, yes, but not when they had no intention to commit the wrong. but anyway was quite thrilled when boss used one of the cases i found. our client may have hope yet!

Week 4: The last day of work!

Didn't really do much except for finishing an affidavit and shifting a few boxes and stuff. James, the latest addition to the firm, 16 year old blue-eyed boy, had major differences with me over music. haha. he likes brit techno music, i like american punk rock. but today's lunch was cool, almost all the associates came with us for lunch. probably cos its the last week for yvonne, grace, kevin n myself too. hehz.. too bad kenneth's on leave. his comic collection is awesome! wanted to borrow some stuff home to read, but nevermind, i'll come back to visit them another time.Yup, i'm actually going to miss this place. of cos the pple in it matter the most. actually for the past 3 weeks ive been having a secret crush on someone who works here.. but alas, its just a crush. she already has the perfect bf, fictitious though he be, not to mention being older than me. n of cos there's my "almost gf" that everyone keeps harping about. haha.. oh well another 2 hours more before i go off. took some nice pics here. gonna go around getting emails n msn before i go. but damn that girls so cute! hahaha... think its the 1st time i ever had a crush on someone older than me. hahah..

Best regards JTJB.
