If and when I ever grow up

Living with the parents, I obviously (tend to) go with the family rules and habits. But there are so many little things I want to have when I can eventually have my independent life (let alone the big things like a mansion-apartment and Porsche). So if and when I ever "grow up", I shall get myself:
- Dispensable soap for the shower (I'm lazy)
- Dispensable shampoo for the shower (still lazy)
- Bubble baths
- Satin bathrobe
- Shower radio (I sound obsessed with shower comfort)
I'm sure I'd be coming up with more soon. But grr I want them now! *off to shower*
Law Ball 2008

I thought the theme for our Law ball this year sucked—"Ball of Zulu", a Safari theme. Not elegant and classy at all! But I must say, it turned out to be the best ball I've ever been to!
How it's different to the previous high school balls I've been to:
- All the girls were better dressed for some reason.
- No partner this year.
Don't have enough guy friends in law. 
- Rather than looking at young, childish girls and boys, now it's maturer ladies and gentlemen.
- Our high school used to hold balls at the Auckland museum and the train station with bad-ass food. But the Law balls are sponsored by large law firms so we pay a lower price for a grand hotel and high quality food.
Three-course dinner beginning with the best smoked salmon entree I've ever had, moved on to an eye-fillet steak main, and finished with a luxurious dessert plate!
Best-dressed guy no doubt!
The gorrrrgeous girls of the night. Indoors and outdoors!
And probably the best I've looked all year with my highly-complimented feather fascinator. 
*is being vain and self-conceited*

First time I tried red lipstick all year and now I really like it. So I've moved on from the baby high school stuff, and uni is definitely better now.
Well except... When it comes to exams. I have lots of things to say, but I don't have the time to say, so if I blog any time more between now and 13 November, they'll have lots of phone camera pictures and little writing. No objections? And by that time I hope Obama would be the new controller of the world.
A little contrast to my daily life

First, let's define my daily life:
But for an anomaly of a past week, I was allowed to go to four parties in a row—big big contrast to my 5pm curfew last year.
- Law Stein: with a "90's Rave" theme, this was the last of our four annual steins. (Although I hear of a fifth coming after the final exams.) The most un-sober I got on this night was at the pre-drinks party hehe.
- Opening Night Dinner: a great event for a chat with random new people. Fun, but I was extremely red and tipsy after one glass of chardonnay. Couldn't take more, or I wouldn't have been able to get to my bus home.
- Pub Crawl: Arrived at the city with my outfit ready, full-on with a stethoscope and all, I was planning to attend the event as a "zambuk" (kudos to you if you know what it means). But I didn't sleep well the night before, so after timekeeping for a mooting competition I wagged the event and went home. This day marked the failure of my party marathon. Sigh.
- Cocktail Party: free cocktails, interactions with lawyers at a large law firm at the Auckland Viaduct, what could go wrong? Well, a vodka-champagne mix pushed me over the edge and I couldn't stand straight for an hour afterwards. I suck at alcohol. Period.
So I trotted along to those parties in the name of "social network building" within my future career field. The last three were special events held by the NZLSA Conference, which I was invited to for building their website (together with Tim).
Now that also explains my lack of blogging. There, I've fulfilled my dream #1 of attending a classy, civilised cocktail event like those in movies and novels (except not as grand but still). And now, I'm back to reality:
*sulks*
Update: Added some photos of the party events!
