Currently Playing: Snow Patrol-You Could Be Happy.
I thought I was so ready for my Criminal finals. I studied for every chapter (which I hardly ever do), attempted past year papers, memorised every single landmark case, fact and principle there was, dissected statutory sections and pieced them back again, and had understood the concepts behind the crimes covered. Attempt, abetment, assault, criminal force, hurt, grievous hurt, culpable homicide, murder, causation, theft, extortion, kidnapping, cbt, cma, rape..it wasn’t that mind-boggling! My lecturer is one of the best I have had in lecturing me. Like her husband last semester, she made me forget we were law students, and treated us like we were lawyers-in-training instead. Dr. Mahanoon Yusoff is one amazing woman.
Which is why I am so ashamed when I think of what I wrote in my answer script. It was beyond horrendous–it doesn’t even sound legal!!! There was nothing worthy of being read in that script, except perhaps proving mens rea in the offence of rape. Other than that, I sounded like a layman with no basic knowledge of criminal law.
I just blanked out. For my favourite subject. Do you know how trying that is?
SubhanAllah.
Finals this time around was just plain…bad.
And that’s why the rezeki just wasn’t there. Insya Allah, there’s a hikmah behind this somewhere.
At least I have 3 months to try and get over it.
Other than a stint at Amnesty International for the next 3 weeks, I’m still trying to figure what I’m going to do with the rest of the time.
Go backpacking, maybe. Haha. I wish.

Lutfi tagged me. I have to state 6 weird things about myself.
I don’t have any weird facts on me. I mean, what yardstick do you set for someone to qualify as being weird anyway? It’s all so…relative. Its so dependent on common perception, but common perception is so bound to vary. Oh heck, I’ll give a few off the top of my head, and you pick the top 6.
1. I enjoy conversations with strangers on the street.
2. My accent tends to vary from time to time.
3. I hate shopping malls?
4. I sometimes pretend I’m on the phone when I see someone I’d rather avoid.
5. If I get really stressed out, a voice in my head keeps on reassuring me that everything will turn out fine. The voice calls me ‘child’ and sounds Jamaican.
6. I learn my vocab from Calvin and Hobbes.
7. I get philosophical if I experience contact with water.
8. I get all sentimental during Friday prayer scenes.
9. I’m psychic.
10. I’m shy. HAhahahAhahahAhahahahAhaha.
11. I eat French fries with ice-cream.
12. I collect bandannas for no particular reason whatsoever.
13. I carry a very personal resentment against guys who believe that football is the arcane knowledge of guys alone, and that girls have no business meddling in such affairs. Once they let me in on that fact, I always see them in my head as wearing the most ridiculous frilly dresses. Why? Because they’re not man enough!
14. I like No 14. It’s the only even number I can stand.
Dah.
I tag all the bloggers in my Blog Hops List, and you.

I had a little dinner outing with the p.speaking gang tonight. Was that fun or what? =)
Wah. Penat. The remnants of the finals effect.
Tido time.
Enough said here.
Ps-3-0. Puas seh.
