This is the second day of my fast on facebook. Everything was going well, i wasn't tempted to log onto facebook when i m bored. I intended to train myself to stand firm in front of temptations. Facebook costs convenience, comfort and it will also take some serious willpower and commitment. It's common for people to click onto facebook whenever they feel bored, to know what's happening to the other side of the world or what happened to their friends, or we should say their acquaintances. I used to do that, and it costs too much precious time to follow up what's going on with other people who doesn't even play significant role in our lives. For me, there are always more important happenings outside that worth our time and sacrifice.

Yes, it's good to share our happenings with friends across the globe through facebook, but too much of facebook updates does gives people an 'eyesore'. Do you ever have the feeling that why is this person updating every single hour of his/her status, telling everyone that he/she is hungry, sleepy, caught in a traffic jam, tired of work, or saying good night to the world? We are abusing facebook. Not stereotyping, but it came to me that we can easily judge the life quality of a person from facebook.

Facebook is a medium to share with friends about meaningful and entertaining notes, passage, songs, videos, photos, or messages. We don't have to reveal every single thing about ourselves to the world. But for me, the most annoying thing to get from facebook will be invitations and notifications for Farmville, Cafemania, zoombie, all sorts of games.

Back to my day, it was a tiring yet satisfying day at work. I was drained out but thank God that work was smooth and i get to meet many clients. To sum up, my company is a busy firm and there are files everywhere. I sat next to my mentor. Just that, i was a little upset to see why are there people getting divorce everyday? I always don't understand how or why can a happy celebration of marriage end up in divorce? Is it because marriage didn't work or people doesn't know how to work out a marriage? I remembered there is a scene of this in the movie Fireproof as well. For me, Fireproof is a movie to be watched by couples on Valentine's Day, Look upon God to work a marriage out. It gives me new insight every time i watched it.

God has been gracious, not only during my studies but placement. My boss is a Christian and is a very easy going person. Possessing the qualities of a Christian, he is not a harsh person too. I heard from my others friends doing placement that they are only asked to do clerical work such as entertaining client, answering calls and photocopying. I really appreciate it as my boss is willing to teach and instruct me and most importantly delegate legal work for me to try and work on.

Today my principal gave me a court case on breach of contract + specific performance to read. The case went to a trial in District Court previously but now proceeded to Supreme Court of Queensland. I am glad that I understand the case when I read through it. During my undergraduate, reading case law is one thing I dislike most. I can’t believe I spent the whole afternoon reading the case handled by my firm.

I also wrote a few legal letters today. My principal told me that my letters were nicely drafted. This actually motivated me for rest of the day.

There are a few things that i yearns for..........

1. i-phone white!! i have an impulse of signing up an iphone with Vodafone. iphone white is just so tempting, and the white rabbit case. oh my!!  i'm just too impatient to wait for iphone 5. Always wanted to get an iphone but it seems that it's so common nowadays and everyone can have one. oh well, i'll still go for it

2. ticket to melbourne an sydney!! my legal practical training will end in 2 weeks. After that , i will have a short break ( going to Perth ^^) Back to brisbane to do placement for another 4 weeks. then prepare for GRADUATION!! Although i always hope to get a permanent job as soon as i gradauted, i wish to have a long break before i start working again.

Once you work, you don't know when is your next holiday. i think it's wise to pamper & recharge myself before heading to Work life. Melbourne and Sydney, New Zealand, wait for me!

3. watch Pirates of Carribean 4!! Absolutely excited for this, hope 'you' make it.

4. some excitement that spice my life. Recently, i encountered 'something' that motivates me and i really look forward to everyday *can't wait for it* ^^

I enjoyed a lot this year, compared to previos years in Brisbane.

Grateful to know some awesome people, and some who really pounded their mark in my heart. that's the album that can never be deleted, it will be kept forever.... in my heart :)
