closing the door on 3rd year and going beyond...

the holidays are here again...!
yes, and will be going around eating and exploring Penang Island with ins and elizabeth ... right after that, it's down to doing my attachment at the magistrate's court and a law firm in Ipoh. actually i am looking forward to that, learning things on the job and seeing how all the law i've learned so far (actually very little, from application of the 'iceberg principle') fits together and getting some real-life experience of work...:)
hmmm...less certain is wearing the penguin suit everyday and getting some good working clothes. good thing is i have a comfortable pair of black court (pardon the pun, couldn't resist...!) shoes to begin with ...

3rd year of law school is officially over. turbulent, full of thrills and spills ... a semi moot year when i fulfilled a childhood dream of visiting England (one of the most beautiful moments in the whole year *dreamy smile)...a year of attending various conferences, seminars, workshops outside and inside the fac and meeting many interesting and intriguing characters and learning how to 'network' in a sense...a year of work and the 10000 word PIL PBL which drained all of us dry (i remember the nights over at mei chen's place where we worked like mad all through the nights to get it done and looking like total wrecks after, with bloated eyebags and pale faces)...a year of discovering certain truths which while they have shaken me to the core, have not made me lose my faith ... a year of having my eyes opened, a year of making up ... a year of coming closer to God, and of rediscovering my faith in Him ... a year of reestablishing who i am, and working on what i have...

beyond 3rd year...just the other day me and siewwee and harn were remarking that it seemed like yesterday when we came to um, and we were attending our colleges' haluansiswa (orientation) programme, first years wet behind the ears. now we're about to enter into our professional year, and one more step to becoming chambering students and consequently, full-fledged lawyers. how fast time flies...(cliched but true) ... whoosh! (how i love the sound of deadlines, esp as they go whizzing by...seen on the mooters' room door last year)

the holidays and work bring with it new experiences, and there is much to look forward to. :)
there are 2 projects i am supposed to and will work on, and an upcoming one, old and yet new ... perhaps the first step to fulfilling a dream? we'll see...it excites me tremendously.
also inspired to write a theme-based anthology of poems ... still figuring out the details. :)

God bless all, and happy holidays! pet loves all of you ...
