i've just come back from talking to the tea lady in the pantry. i tried to explain to her (in my rather not-so-good chinese) that i thought being a tea lady was probably more worthwhile than being a lawyer because tea ladies were more needed, somehow. and it just seems rather wrong that lawyers get so much more money.
and she said that people are paying for the use of lawyers' brain power.
oh, it's awful being shackled to your computer - and to facebook, as a consequence. this is the most time i have ever spent on some silly internet fad. i didn't get msn until j3, i don't have a laptop, and i hardly saw the fuss about friendster. i'm consoled by the fact that once my interships are over i'll spend less, if any, time on facebook.
computers give me a headache. really. so does air-conditioning. i don't ever want to get used to these two things. but looking at the way things are going -
the only saving grace about this entire thing is the wonderful view of the sky. and, from my window, i can see the ferris wheel. if i do get called to the bar (i have a strong feeling i will be, no matter that i have these grand lit teacher dreams) the one thing i'll look forward to is getting a room with a view. law firms are usually located on the tenth floor and above. and they're near the singapore river, which is near victoria concert hall and the esplanade and that's more or less my favourite part of singapore, besides bukit batok/bukit timah.
but what i wouldn't give to be out there, real ground beneath my feet and fresh wind in my hair.
alright. i HAVE to stop facebooking. people keep telling me i'm on facebook a lot. which is awful. but i'm just replying wall posts, what. i don't know why they have to do the whole mini-feed thing. makes you look like you're doing a lot when you're not la.
