While I'm in a blogging mood, I might as well share some more songs with you. :]

Besides my favourite artist, I reckon you might like these songs:

"It's an alethiometer. It tells the truth." - Master of Jordan
Hullo, Darlings and friends! :]
It looks like Cheryl and Rachel have both been actively blogging, and words cannot express how delighted I am! Mei Chieng's given her word that she'll, and I quote, "definitely be blogging" -- while Faan Jin is ... bound to want to. Eventually.
;P
Today was the last day of Semester 1, and we've now officially embraced the Christmas break with arms wide open! Hahaha! A bunch of us went to celebrate [surviving half of Year 2] in Sunway Pyramid, with a lunch and a movie.
Mei Chieng (Darling #5 of this weblog group) said, "Hey I'll meet you guys there" ... but then ... FFK us at the eleventh hour! -_-" So, babe, you missed out on a great time la.
It took forever for both cars to find parking spots, and even longer to decide on a restaurant. I seriously thought I was going to start retching from the accumulated 9 hours of acidic stomach juices. In the end, we settled for Esquire Kitchen. It was a close toss between the only two decisive people in the group: Joanne for ramen noodles and Rachel for Esquire.
It is established that Rachel won. :]
After lunch, we had to super rush to the movie and .......... I didn't buy popcorn! Oh my goodness! It's such a wretchedly big deal for me, especially since my entire purpose for going to cinemas is to eat the popcorn! T_T And you know what? We were late for the movie ANYWAY. Daarrrrrn. For someone who practically preaches punctuality, I dunno why I have been successfully arriving late for every movie I've been to the cinema for, since, like, Die Hard 2.0..
The Golden Compass was absolutely brilliant! A must-watch for all fantasy lovers. Not a movie for everyone though, some people didn't enjoy it for its "illogicality" and how it "isn't real". Like I said ... for the fantasy lovers. :]
I LOVED IT.
RM10 well-spent. I've never been to a movie with Joanne, Soo Tian, and Tsu Ming before. 'Tis the experience money cannot buy. Hehe! They were fun to hang out with. :] In addition to the Equity's Darlings lah, of course.
Seriously - movie was gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood.
The James Bond actor was smokin' hot, Nicole Kidman was splendidly beautiful, and the little girl was really really pretty and a pretty good actress!! :] I can't wait to watch the next two movies of the trilogy!!!!
After the movie, it was like 6pm already and almost everyone had to call it a day. So we hugged the lot goodbye and yelled out happy hols -- then Rachel and I scooted off to The Curve for Happy Hour.

We drank a lot of alcohol and drove dangerously home. We even got DUI-ed.
I'm KIDDING LAH.
We went to The Curve and I met her parents! HAHAHA so the opposite of getting pissed. Her family was having dinner at Kim Gary's ... but by then I was too beat for Asian cuisine (personally, Hong Kong food is just ... blah~) ... so we went off to eat in another restaurant. This one called out to us in a hallelujah chorus:
We had the Three-For-All and the MOCHA MUD PIE. Effing fantastic.
The Curve is incredibly beautiful right now, and it's lined up with activities in light of the Christmas season. So, if you're feeling bored at home, you can check out some of their events!
Very, very late by the time I got home ... so late to the point that my mum called me and said, "Eh, still don't want to come home ah?" ... hahahhaha ... it's a blast to hang out with Rachel! :D
On a final note, I've finally figured out how to upload self-playing songs (see top right corner of blogging frame)!! :] Below are the lyrics in case you feel tempted to do a sing-along. :P
"Welcome To Wherever You Are"
Jon Bon Jovi
Maybe we're different, but we're still the same
We all got the blood of Eden, running through our veins
I know sometimes it's hard for you to see
You come between just who you are and who you wanna be
If you feel alone, and lost and need a friend
Remember every new beginning, is some beginning's end
[Chorus]
Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you gotta believe
That right here right now,
you're exactly where you're supposed to be
Welcome, to wherever you are
When everybody's in, and you're left out
And you feel your drowning, in a shadow of a doubt
Everyones a miracle in their own way
Just listen to yourself, not what other people say
When it seems you're lost, alone and feeling down
Remember everybody's differentJust take a look around
[Chorus]
Be who you want to, be who you are
Everyones a hero, everyones a star
When you wanna give up, and your hearts about to break
Remember that you're perfect, God makes no mistakes
[Chorus]
Until next time, take care and enjoy your December! :]
xoxo, Sha-Lene

jet planes & tomorrows
In about 9 months, we'll be singing this song:
"I'm Leaving On A Jet Plane"
All my bags are packed
Im ready to go
Im standin here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin
Its early morn
The taxis waitin
Hes blowin his horn
Already Im so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go
cause Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Theres so many times Ive let you down
So many times Ive played around
I tell you now, they dont mean a thing
Evry place I go, Ill think of you
Evry song I sing, Ill sing for you
When I come back, Ill bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go
cause Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
Then close your
I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I wont have to leave alone
About the times, I wont have to say
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go
cause Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
But, Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Words and music by john denver
***
But for now, let us sing this one!
[ANNIE: TOMORROW]
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!
Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh! The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya
Tomorrow!
You're only
A day away!

And Ladies and Gentlemen.....Land Law!
Greetings. I wonder what on earth I can post which is of community interest, as opposed to personal.
Well, Land Law it is, then.
'Coz I'm leaaaaaaving, on a jet plane.. don't know when I'll be back again..'
Isn't that the classic formulae to get someone to cling hard to you?
(whether it succeeds or fails depends on whether people buy it). Yes, that's a song. And it happens to be in my head.
Have been workin' it on Land Law today. A judge in criminal law once shook his head at a test (one of those tests given to the jury to apply- to see whether the defendant is guilty) - because he said it would give the jury too much 'mental gymnastics'.
Ah, now that's an interesting one.
I could say I've been doing 'mental gymnastics' all morning too.
On Land Law, that is. Controlled by the word limits, confined by time, confused by the various sections that frame....... Land Registration!
Yeah let's all scream in unison.
Whenever anybody does anything with property, they're paying lawyers to do 'mental gymnastics' - but I'm not sure how hard the gymnastics are here, in the hot Malaysian sun, because they don't practise land registration as a system.
Let's screech to a halt here, excuse me indeed, while I go back to doing aha, the fine art of 'mental gymnastics'.

Hi everyone!
Everybody give a round of applause to Cheryl for kick-starting the blogging process! :]
*clap clap clap*
It's a Tuesday afternoon right now, and as of 4.30pm I've ripped off one of the few "free" banners off the Internet and tweaked it to suit the theme of this weblog. Do you like it? :P
I suppose nobody besides Cheryl and I will be blogging this week, considering this is our general motto:
How's your Land Law assignment going? :D :D :DBut I'll slot in some "precatory words" right here, right now and say "I'm fully confident that the other darlings will start jump on the blogging bandwagon, especially over the Christmas break!".
Blogger.com's down right now ... I reckon I'll do my bit in introducing us (while waiting to publish this post). :] All right - so here goes! I understand that Equity's Darlings is a curious name, but it's one that we - well, I, at least - are particularly fond of. About a month ago, in a Trusts Law lecture, we learned the term "equity's darling" as a sort of nickname for the "bona fide purchaser of a legal estate for valuable consideration without notice - whether actual, constructive or imputed - of the equitable interest". :]
Origins of the blog name aside ('s matter of fact, you never know when we might just change the blog title/address, haha!), the authors of this blog consist of five girls, between the ages of 18 to 20, all classmates in the same law school and good friends: Cheryl, Faan Jin, Mei Chieng, Rachel, and myself - Sha-Lene. :]
We started this blog just for laughs, really - blogging is a sport and a snapshot of time, something for us to look back on, perhaps years from now, and ... remember. So here's to wonderful memories and even better times ahead!
Until next time, you have my love! :]
Sha-Lene :)
