This is the first weekend in months that I am actually not cramming to finish either a TMA or revising for a TOA. All the nervous energy, the pressure, the anxieties about not being able to remember the principles, the rules, the articles, the adrenalin grinded to a halt. And it feels...weird. Almost a sense [...]
Recently I tested positive for Covid-19 on the 23rd of October. It was a typical Saturday. I had gone to the gym in the morning with some friends from law school (yes we do have a group of us who are focused on keeping healthy and will exercise on Saturday mornings). I did not feel [...]
It’s been a rollercoaster ride of a two weeks, serving my reservist duties while having TMAs due on both Sundays. I’m immensely grateful for community-powered Zoom sessions and late-night chats to push through. Maybe it’s because of last semester’s social work module, or maybe it’s because of this semester’s ethics module, but this cycle reminded [...]
I have some friends who graduated from the SMU School of Law. Some of them were the pioneer batches of the law school. Whenever they spoke of their experience at their law school, they usually spoke about how their law school focused more on corporate law and the fact that their legal education was more [...]

Today, Singapore celebrates its 56th birthday! Citizens rejoice for having an extended weekend. We working adults rejoice for having an extra day off work, to finish our TMAs. Semester 2 started weeks ago, and we are in the thick of TMA & PCQ action. If anything, Boot Camp in Semester 1 was merely an appetizer. [...]
The first semester actually went by in a flash. There were three things that I had to get used to and I think this would come in handy for future batches coming into SUSS School of Law. Always remember that you're a student You are no longer the boss you may be at your workplace. [...]
Looking back on the process of applying to SUSS School of Law ("SOL"), I think it will be helpful to share about my personal experience. Our SOL is really diverse. It is made up of people from all walks of life with different experiences and from different disciplines. Consequently, the age range of the students [...]
During this term break, I had the good fortune of spending two months as an intern in a law firm. It was a glimpse into the possible future and an eye-opener to the real work behind the 'glamour' of being a lawyer. Firstly, please forget what you binge-watched on Netflix, whether it was Suits or [...]
