One baby step

Yup, it's one baby step towards my ultimate goal of making my most important friends proud of me. Seriously though, I'm beginning to wonder if I had said anything wrong to justify the pretty good outcome from the hearing today. Or maybe my ears were bad and the order wasn't what I thought I heard. Otherwise, why were they so surprised that I managed to get that order? Whatever, at least I didn't get scolded by the AR (who is really nice, and will probably be amongst my favourite, at least for now) and got more than 50% of the costs I asked for. =)

Oh, and my first reaction when I came out from chambers? To "announce" to my most important friends (ok, in the end more people knew, and I didn't sms some of the important people too, for eg. Itak da ge, cause I didn't want to bother them). Still, I hope it's just the beginning...

On a side note, I really really detest people who borrow my books and refuse to return it. I may have known you for the longest time ever, but that doesn't mean that you can just happily ignore my previous questions on whether my book is with you. Perhaps you should ask poor Calvin how I react when people borrow my things and not have the decency to return it on their own accord. Especially when the book I lent you is not cheap and it's MY book. Bothering me for other things is not going to make me anymore please, especially after the amount of time wasted and MY BOOK! (ok, I think I've emphasised my book sufficiently)

Oh yes, although it feels reassuring to see the phrase "fang fang" again, I'm still undecided whether to respond. Perhaps I've become more hardened, or I've totally given up on you, still, give me some time to decide whether to respond, k?
