among other things...rants and jessup memories

i am currently sick of studying about the adventures or (mis)adventures of folks such as tan tek seng, liew fook chuan, halimaaton saadiah, mior atiqulrahman, sugumar and ramachandran....
their tiring and bitingly boring war on the establishment is so ... urkkh (head bent over, about to puke now...) who gives a damn? does petrina give a damn??? she doesn't care...

admin admin...there is only one person i know who lives on planet admin and has a wife named Mrs Admin with kids who have such cute names as Procedural Fairness, Discretionary Powers, Proportionality and The Way Forward...not to mention a brother in law named Criminal Law and a sister in law called Consti Law...with the brooding omnipresence of PublikLaw, who is mother in law to this one person...none other than GCC...he lives in a house built in accordance with the subsidiary legislation of the planet and has such a nice and kind and friendly neighbour called Mr Reason, who also has a house on planet tort. sometimes u can see CC and Mr Reason in the Clapham omnibus, and sometimes they mow the grass in their shirtsleeves...going shopping on weekends with their respective families.

i know that secretly the Reasonable Man is a bit scared of CC, as he is a purveyor and expert in silat and weng chun. but being reasonable, he always gets along with him. he is to most other people a pain in the ass....mana ada a person who is always calm, rational and even reasonably annoyed or angry??? i think i would like to meet him, if not just to plant my foot in the middle of his ass for all the trouble he's given me...not to mention other law students.

on another planet known as planet criminal, there are many problematic questions...and a salamander who says such interesting and funny things as "are you agree with me?" ..."more easier...mudah saje"..."betul tak,__(insert name of student here)?"...mumble mumble mumble.
i reserve judgement, after all who am i say to anything? bukannya saya ni pandai sangat...:P

planet tort and planet land have a strong amazon presence. it is the domain of dealings and disposals and everywhere there are warning signs and exemption clauses. caveat emptor...
sometimes you can hear screams, and frustrated bewilderment is often seen on faces of visitors. they get lost a lot. they bicker a lot on these planets, and the sovereign ruler of planet land thinks it's because of the torrens system, which has many failings compared to the deeds system. the sovereign ruler of planet tort thinks, on the other hand, that everything is arguable. so all you need to do is convince her...and that also explains why the laws on the planet are so messy. nothing is for sure, ain't it scary? at least on planet land, there's the bible - the old testament being the nlc and the new testament being teoandkhaw. so many authorities...sir robert torrens smiles down benignly on the people he has helped (or made worse off...like boonsom/soom and tara rajaratnam)

well...i did warn all of u, this would be a post of rants, and not one of my usual reflective and slightly melancholic entries...

i have had the privilege of being a resident of planet jessup moot for some time...it's rather far from the other planets mentioned earlier, but still in the same solar system with the law faculty of UM as the sun...
this planet has very few people on it, being harsh and inhospitable...it's been a whale of a time working with them and i m still in the process of writing my memoirs of the whole sequence of events. ahahah...there will be no defamation, fear not, i have cut my teeth on planet tort before this.

there was one king/ruler*, and one horky** and one sovereign ruler of Nickland/Nikolailand***...
and me. and plenty of potential for a sitcom. too many rulers on one planet...how can it work out? mana boleh ni??? but it did, and that's the rub. the amazing thing... though scars remain. i wish they didn't but they do. hey anytime you need me, you must know i will be there for you. the time we spent together working on this meant something to me. i learned so much and i thank all of you from this rather small heart. take care and may His blessings be upon you.

*try saying that in Malay...:) sovereign ruler also? hmmm...
** a hardworking n dedicated guy who can often be seen zipping around with his significant other...he says it's a caveat but nothing permanent yet.
***there is too much to be said about him that can be placed within the limited confines of this entry...

but the day will come when the truth shall make itself known.
stay tuned for future episodes, same time, same station. that's all folks...:)

-cue: cheery theme music and the credits roll-

UP NEXT: EPISODE 2 OF PLANET JESSUP-THE CORRIDOR, THE ELEVATOR...creepy, horrid, filled with nasty surprises every turn of the corner...

-a trailer of the movie comes on to the screen...the camera pans towards the darkened elevator, and the corridor which was previously lighted up, but is now enveloped in malevolent darkness...and a ghostly but somehow strident voice calls out ...THE CORRIDOR, THE ELEVATOR, and the camera shows the um, frightened face of one girl (the more susceptible one, also the screamer in such kinds of movies but here, she doesn't have long hair and she doesn't scream, only her eyes get much bigger) and the bored and slightly annoyed face of another girl who may or may not be about to roll her eyes. the music is typical horror movie stuff, nothing special...the lighting is good though. then the camera pans out. coming soon in the summer of '05-

EPISODE 3? 4? AD INFINITUM...nyahahahha....left to be seen....
