"It's the beginning of the end..."

I'm sorry for not updating this blog..
For those of you who still checks it now..haha, thanks alot for being concerned abt me..
My exams are coming soon ( in 2 weeks time) ..have been busy studying, submitting assignments and papers, and going to social events ..so my schedule is super packed all the way until Jan next year..
Haha there have been so many things which happened since my last blog, don't know which to start with. I have a feeling that this entry is going to be so not interesting lol..here's the regurgitation of what i've done..
1. went to micro.soft tour yesterday (this was amazing - get to see how a futuristic house looks like - all the inventions u could think of in a movie abt the future is THERE)[for those who donno, seattle is the base for microsoft..bill gates lives here)
2. went to my hosts house for dinner yesterday
3. went to a vietnamese lawyer dim sum event this morning..Got an invitation from a vietnamese american classmate, so decided to just go and socialise and get free dim sum, which was my actual intention hehe. Din really socialise that much cos din have much to tok abt to viet lawyers..but the dim sum is chinese style and it's super gd so i just eat and eat and it was a worth it trip since the lawyers at our table just called for a thousand plates of dim sum...And also went for an under ground tour with some Asian lawyers from all over America (they have this convention thing going in Seattle now..like a networking session for all asian lawyers in USA to get tger and help each other out..)
4. went to kbox (LOL yes KBOX...not the same company but the same idea = karaoke!! full of chinese songs)
5. went to the Flight museum...(millions of real planes on exhibit for plane lovers!! From WWI till now.. and get to go up the Air Force 1 which the Presidents of US used before) (for those who donno, seattle is the origin of boeing too..and airplane manufaturing..)
6. Went for a walk at Greenlake park with Joyce on a Sunday morning (cant rmb when LOL) ...the lake is quite big..and very beautiful, with nice red/orange autumn trees surrounding it, and clear still water..It's a place for joggers with their dogs/baby trolleys.. and we went to have super good hot chocolate at a famous place for chocolate nearby the park..Haha I sort of enjoyed this peaceful and beautiful morning walk.
7. went to this lawyers networking dinner at some law firm in downtown on Thursday. I just followed some of my friends there, wasnt even invited, and showed up in jeans and sports shoes when everyone was in suits/formal wear. And I realise the firm is founded by Bill Gates' father when I got there..LOL. So i just concentrated on eating all the food..talked to some lawyers who are really friendly. Haha i realise the law firms in Seattle has the same characteristic in Sg - situated in downtown in some high rise building with a super beautiful night view of the ci.ty through. tall windows ...

That's abt it..gotta go back and study...
Haha you must be wondering why I'm so hardworking since I just need to pass right?
i have been thinking about it too..and came up with some conclusions - I dont want myself to spend so much money here just playing, eating and paying rent and learnt nothing in fact - the whole point of coming to the US and not some slack place like Denmark is to study..and learn about American law for much cheaper tuition fees...so at least I must make some sense out of the classes I'm taking...So that I would at least gain something intellectually before I go back Sg..
