the weeks at court have gone by... and an important footnote

3 weeks of attachment in court come and about to finish...then it's on to a law firm where i will hopefully be able to learn more about the art of conveyancing...

it's been a pretty fun time overall, though there were dull bits here and there, as life is wont to have in itself. i learned and saw a lot, and most of the lawyers here were very kind, they have taught me a lot in response to my questions. i watched an incest trial, saw runner cases, saw lawyers yell at each other rather rudely in open court ... among other things.

time to move on. i've been advised it's best to start litigation first, before moving on to conveyancing. exciting, but frightening nonetheless. you really never can tell how a case is going to go. or what the witness will say, despite your best efforts to prepare him or her prior to the trial. or whether you're going to be stumped by the judge or get a screwing from him.

well, the chinese have a good saying. i'll translate it best i can : when the ship reaches the bridge, it will straighten by itself.
no worries, i m sure i will make the right decision when the time comes.
in the meanwhile, i live, i learn and i keep on walking.

(once again, i had a hunch confirmed. either some people are very easy to read, or i really do have something in me that is sensitive to such matters. in any event, i have nothing to say. it's a choice, and i am not sighing when i write this. i gave up trying to figure it all out a long time ago. i have better things to do...seriously. besides, the things some people do just don't hold up to logic or good sense. they just are...
i feel my eyes rolling. and a little ditty a friend composed along with the SJC Paradigm is playing in my head. seriously, i wonder at myself sometimes)

a big thank you to harn, pn izura, adik za aka jackoboy aka kancilboy aka the harry potter boy (really love the song!), kee seng, elizabeth, ins, pn jawakhir, raja syazwina and raja syarafina and everyone else who contributed in knocking some sense into my thick skull, up to and including my sis. esp harn. cos i went crazy and on an even bigger emotional rollercoaster during this whole period of time. and thanks for putting up with it, and seeing me through to a solution. you're the best, although you did want to beat me with a broom once. love ya, friend.
GOD IS GOOD... AND ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL.
i never thought i'd get through, but i did, and by His grace...truly, by His grace...
and the next time this happens ... well, it won't. i've really had enough.
AMEN TO THAT.

i won't forget this in a hurry, but i'll be a damned fool if i let this slow me down.

Hey, you started that broom thing. Or the thing that led to the broom thing anyway.

And it's a good thing Adik Za doesn't read blogs. He'd freak if he knew the number of nicknames he's accumulated.

hahaha. yes i admit my part in starting the whole broom whacking thing. but heck, it was all in fun.

adik za has about a billion nicknames for one simple reason: he banyak buat kecoh esp in our fac...
as hk said, he causes a disturbance in the force...:P
