there's no such thing as coincidence, i say, it's synchronicity


Current favourite song that i've been replaying every night, i might be responsible for a third of the plays on YouTube.

It's been quite an internship experience - enduring the awkward mandatory small talks on the first day, gradually warming up to the people around me, learning the names of the big partners and the friendly secretaries, gearing up for each client meeting especially when i'm tasked with being the chinese translator, re-reading each email once, twice, thrice before actually clicking send, re-reading everything else so many times my eyes just glaze over chunks of paragraphs and rushing like a headless chicken each time it's my last day to write thank you cards and racking my brains to remember my mentor's favourite brand of chocolates.

I don't think i will particularly miss the life of an intern, but if, when, i make it to the top, i promise never to forget how it felt like to start at the bottom.

And, for the second time in my life, i'm actually quite excited to fly back to UK. The past 2 years have just been a blurry waste of me pining to be somewhere else. But no, you can't make homes out of human beings, especially the ghost of someone from my past. So yes, can't wait to start organising all the mooting competitions, go for externals, learn Spanish (hmm), join kayaking (idc that they train in the swimming pool it is COLD outside), run run run everyday, do pro bono work and just to be part of something bigger than myself.
