I had a dream - of the wide open prairie
I had a dream - of the pale morning sky
I had a dream - that we flew on golden wings
And we were the same - just the same - you and I
Follow your heart - little child of the west wind
Follow the voice - that's calling you home
Follow your dreams - but always, remember me
I am your brother - under the sun
We are like birds of a feather
We are two hearts joined together
We will be forever as one
My brother under the sun
Wherever you hear - the wind in the canyon
Wherever you see - the buffalo run
Wherever you go - I'll be there beside you
Cos you are my brother - my brother under the sun

hello below is Mae Yen's email to me that she wants me to share to everyone.
Hey there!
I just read the cross blog. so sweet of you. :) So i thought it was only appropriate to give u a update of life here. You can share this with the other guys and girls on the blog. Save me the trouble of emailing everyone. teehee. :)
I am taking some time off my work to update you! :) So, its raining again here in london. The winds are really strong and sadly and most most embarrassingly my umbrella did flip up once as i was walked to the strand. :( But i guess that is common eh. I have a grand total of 12 hours of school a day. Roughly about 2-3 hours of school a day. Dont get too jealous of me yet, NEVER in my entire education have i spent the First week of school in the library. I have never studied so hard in the first 2 weeks of school. ever. usually i start work 3-4 months into primary, secondary school and jc. so there u go. I have spent 130 quid (mutiply by three for sg) on 12 textbooks, which are really thick and heavy and is only needed for first year. so yeah. fantastic. But i am lucky and grateful to my senior for selling me her second hand books,( oops did i fail to mention this?) Usually people spend approx 350 Quid on new law textbooks. See second hand but still so ex. sighh. I dont mind second hand though, all the highlighted main points. :)
Jaime and i run on mondays and thurs with a group of people at around 6pm. The london view at night is amazing. The bridges are lighted up and its so pretty. We might join them on wednesdays, but we arent sure yet. Cos we wannt to play tennis as well. Im currently indulging in potato crips now. Eating them at my own peril. heh. I'm also doing some Pro Bono projects, like streetlaw. Have yet to get into full steam of this project and so i shall update u guys later about it. But basically, we go to school to educate teens about the law, and the good thing about this, is that we in turn are being guided by lawyers from Freshfields. (Which is in the magic circle; there are 5 firms in the magic circle) This is similar to the accountancy equivalent to the Big 3? yeahh. And then there is SWOT; a christain bible study group in all souls(church im attending) every wednesday which serves amazing dinner for 2 pounds before bible study starts. Friday nights are occupied by OCF, a fellowship group among sg and malaysians. This is basically how my week goes. In between, there is reading and parties. and more reading.
Im not really complaining abt the work load, it is still quite manageble and i enjoy my law lectures very much. The modules which im taking is interesting! criminal law(most interesting but hard to score), Public law ( the bane of my life but easy to score), contract law and European law(LOVE IT). EU law lecs and tuts always pass by the quickestt. :) and did i tell you... i have a reallly cute tutor. hahaha. he is like max 26. a visting tutor. and let me tell u the coolest thing about him... he is going to be a barristor. So he is in the midst of doing his bar. WOW WEES. Talk about practical application. So that's a good thing.
Staying in halls, apart from the distance and running for buses almost every morning, has been fun. People are really nice here, and becos my toilets are mixed, it was really strange when i went into the toilet only to find a man coming out. and there was once, i wanted to go to the toilet so i told my friend ( a man), hey i need the toilet and he goes oh yeah me too. and then he follows me in. WEIRRD FEELING. haha. But i have slowly gotten use to it.
Transportation IS SO EXPENSIVE HERE. and the tubes are so unreliable. One min, a tube line can be closed and we got to figure out another way to our destination. Tubes are really dusty and HOT. people have actually died in the tubes. It is so so bad. Thats why u have stuck to buses. alot better, except when some fool decides to have a demonstration at trafalgar square, which holds up traffice.
So so this is the end of my long update. :) Take care in police yes? :) tell me whats going on in sg sometime when u are free. :) I am having a slight flu now. blahh. Im coming home on the 18th dec.
