I find female lawyers have quite high expectations. It is pretty hard to interbreed if you don't come from a well established family

Capable female lawyers past the age of 30 and single should embrace their automatic ascension into AWARE's selection pool of potential future leaders. Dunno whether AWARE hold tea sessions like the PAP.

Yeah. I really liked this law girl until today even though she role up with me bcos she wanted to find someone better (richer, more successful, better family background).

Seriously at first I was angry and upset. Even angry for being born into a not so rich family.
But now I realise if they are not meant for you means they are not meant for you.

Have to find someone else. But I’m reaching 30.
But if someone doesn’t want you no choice

I believe it is a legal executive pay. And you’ll get the full pay after being called to bar

So let’s say you and your gf. One in baker one in Wongp.
Both getting called in August 2018. In January 2019, your pay gap is only $500.
And both of you would have breached hdb bto limit of $12k as you combined total will be $14.5k.
