Me, The All-Time Desultory

The past many legal opinions I have been working on have received satisfactory remarks from the learned master.

That takes me to stage 2...of drafting written submission:) The headache bit is having to write in bahasa but the consolation is there are sufficient dictionaries in the library and translator on the internet as reference to assist.

I took almost a day to complete the drafting, awaiting boss to drop in for further discussion/amendment. Shortcall date is fixed at 19th May, since another lawyer is leaving, the task to me naturally grows as there is no other lawyer except my master at this very moment. I just got a list of date of hearing/mention/case management/mediation, etc...and my name was on it a day after the date of shortcall.

The angel on my right is saying: Practical experience in court in your very 1st month, go for it!
The devil on the left is sulking: Someone pay peanuts for a lawyer job~

Anyhow, chambering student or Legal Assistant out there, if you are looking for a legal firm to work at, come join me asap

best of luck!

It was a 'black' day last night. I decided not to stay late for work and headed home by 5:30pm hoping I can make it to the badminton session at 6pm. After giving many opinions on motor vehicle accident cases, the paper experience went a step further to one which is real. My little car was knocked from behind. I'm firm that it wasn't my fault but the driver hit and run. ee...no luck...YY where are you nah~

hmm...I proceed with my game hoping a better day the next morning. Later at night I received news that my best buddy encountered a similar incident in JB and my housemates couldn't locate their car keys when they are done with their meal in OneU.

Today when I got into the office, I received some compliments from boss regarding the work I submitted to him yesterday. Not bad hor..hehe me....and legal work...still kinda unbelievable.

I'm contented and what's next?

resuming ...work:)

I have made it at least...for the first two weeks~hmmm this is entirely out of my own expectation and I'm hoping thing goes just as smooth possible:)

No flexible working hour and waking up late, no bunny in the office, only formal wear with slipper allowed in the office, very many limitation and restriction in terms of stationary usage, ar....also, slow PC with one PC allowed the internet access...that apart, boss is very knowledgeable and sharing in terms of practical work and experience. I'm quite contented where I am compare with the rest, very much happy indeed.

Week two with petition for admission submitted awaiting short-call date to be extracted, have been to KL HC and a few other Sessions court, pretty fluent with opinion-writing and ofcourse, more to come...

best of luck for myself and everyone else...*resuming work*

2.5 hrs for an interview to be a chambie in the firm...too much? and before that there is 2 essays entitled "Jikalau kamu dilantik untuk berkhimat sebagai seorang peguam, apakah sifat-sifat terpenting yang perlu diamalkan?" and "Why are you inspired to be and Advocate and Solicitor". I laughed out quietly in heart, not sure if i should proceed. Since the boss has not arrived, I wrote with imagination lolz

The flow of writing in Bahasa just ain't there but I believe I have tried my best. The interview was very detailed, quite informative and I can see the interviewer is very experienced in a wide range of matters. He tested me on how to handle many different situations, my reaction, my thoughts, my plan...He wanted to know almost everything. Hmm, I quite like him, but he does insurance litigation thus the requirement of seeing pictures of corpes, injuries, blood...is a must at all time and yesh, plenty of times will thus be spend running to and fro the KL court.

To start means to stuck for 9 months at the pupillage stage without leave. To be serious in it means to read more judgements and news, get myself familiarize with court procedures, case law and statutes bla bla, to be serious means I better start shopping for my court attires.

I choose to go for a walk before any decision is made. For all the nagging from whoever loves doing it, I shall disregard and I wanted my future in my arm, not your mouth. I prefer to do things my way and not yours. Even if extra miles are required in terms of challenge, difficulty and effort, I will always persist. I live for me, not you, thus I pursue my own path and happiness, not yours. I respect you but it doesn't mean I shall accede to your never-ending demand and command on how my life should be.

Lastly, what's wrong with wearing short pants and casual? So what for wearing formal suits? A monket with suit remains a monkey. It is the value one can provide for their employer, not just the image that matters.
