3rd Day of my Law attachment.

Nov 7, Friday: Today is the day when ‘monthly drinks’ would be held where the chambees would organise a gathering with the lawyers for a night in Loke Mansion with a light dinner and some wine/drinks. It’s a monthly tradition where everyone just gets to unwind and have a down-to-earth chat with one another apart from the daily stress we all get! It’s a unique activity, not sure if other law firms do this as well but I think it’s a brilliant idea, cause there’s food, fun and fellowship! Anything with the 3F’s are sure-fire good stuff!

With all planned up the day before, we headed for Cold Storage to get the ingredients for the killer mocktails and out-of-the-world bruschettas we planned to do. Haha..

We also got this Jelly Cake from Qjelly from The Curve after the lunch @ Kluang Station. Above is Yvonne and Mei Ching, both Chambees. Oldest and youngest chambee out of the 7. =b

Collecting the 100 sticks from Sate Kajang, Uptown Damanmsara.

Back at the C&A Pantry, our storage place! And what is to be later will all come out from this fridge when the time comes.. Contrary to popular opinion that may entail, no, we didn’t drink all that beer! The mocktails were better! Haha..

At 5.30pm we all came down to prepare the food, slice the nasi impit, dice the mint leaves and parsley and make the Bruschetta ala Turkey Roast and Tuna Dressing. Above are the Chambees, missing and only guy is Vincent (Sick =p). From left: Yvonne, Tricia, Mun Wei, Fui Yau, Mei Ching and Hui Jiun.

Preparing the out-of-the-world bruschettas. Our first time making it!

Toasting the work of art: French loaf with Garlic butter spread, added with Turkey Roast/Tuna Dressing topped with half a tomato, Mozarella Cheese and Parsley! Prepare for toast for 3-5minutes and there you go! Oh yeah, sprinkle a pinch of ground pepper to complete the Bruschetta. Yumm.. Just typing it out makes me hungry..

Finally! The result! Yes, it tastes as good as it looks!

Next is my very own creation the ‘Loke Mansion Mohito’ Mocktail! The ingredients above were added in order from left to right and bought in Cold Storage. Portions are up to your taste.

Soda : For the Fizz
Ribena : Blackcurrent flavor
Lime Juice : Sour taste
Ginge ale : Spiciness!
Fruit Cocktail : Finishing touch!!

Here it is~ the ‘Loke Mansion Mohito’ Mocktail!
Haha.. Everyone like it ;D Even Dato’ Loh went for a few rounds, saying something along the lines of ‘Good stuff!’
From now on, I’m ready for hire as a mocktail-maker. LoL.

Along with the other mansion-made food and drinks are 3 pizzas and 13 spaghetti(s) from from Izzi restraurant. Yupp we got ‘em for the now 75% off for every RM150 and above purchase! Worth the buy I must say.

A random pictures of the 20 odd partners, associates, lawyers, legal assistants and chambees having a scrumptious meal. On the far left is Dato’ Loh Siew Cheang, Cheang&Ariff’s senior partner. Mr. Ariff (who incidentally is my Taylor’s classmate’s father) had since sept been asked to be a Judge for the KL Court of Appeal at Jalan Duta, now Hakim Ariff.

A good look at one of the ‘well prepared’ monthly drinks. =D

Celebrated Cecilia and Mun Hoe’s birthday too, both lawyers.

After the whole night with the 3F’s, the chambees starting cleaning up and clearing all the leftovers and stuff. Above are (from left: Fui Yau and Tricia)

Last look at a tired but smiling Yvonne bout washing the dishes.

Yupp, this is part of a life in Cheang&Ariff and it’s good. It brings the human out of all the lawyers and the lighter side of things. I got to know the Chambees a lot better too, just thinking of what I did for the last three day assured me that this would be time well spent during my holidays. Looking forward to getting to know ya ‘all more!

My bad, for the lack of intellectual postings, for now, this blog is for me to just unwind and an opportunity to 'report' what I do in work during office hours. =p
