2 days ago, I was back to classroom for ethic course conducted by JB Bar Council. It recall me those days in the campus, sitting together and listening to the lecturer,sharing and learning knowledges with peers who in the same generation, feeling of being naive and innocent is so enjoyable.Yet, it is not the samething to examination. I felt so unfamiliar and unskill when spending times for exam preparation, especially the impromtu preparation. We were given only 1 night to study the whole module which is bauky. The process for digesting those information was unbearable and miserable and I have to admire my persistency and perseverence during my school life. However, I found that such allegation doesnt make any sense because my current profession should supercede mere examination. Simply because we as a professional especially a Lawyer must alrealy well versed in certain skills such as language, thoughts, sensibility to the past and current issues, argument and writing skills, memories, commonsense, basic legal principles at out fingers tip and fast thinker. Therefore, it shouldnt be any problems for those who backed by these skills which are the foundation for a pupil.
When I think further and realized that I possessed non of the above, I puzzle like an illegitimate alien who is not suppose to stay in this legal field. After the hopeless exam, I felt so unendurable but have to ask myself a question that Did I enter a wrong career??? Why I cant see my skill and practical application when answering those questions? Indeed, I felt so uncomfortable and reluctant to answer them. Then something had crossed my mind that graduated as a Law degree holder will never guaranteed one to be a quality pupil in chamber. This allegation is cruel but it is a fact and I need to face the true as well. Then only I discovered the insight of a proverb that "It is not a matter of quantity but QUALITY does a matter". I think I should foster my QUALITIES before complaining of not being attached importance to handle tasks in firm.I should never binded by those little compliments which is not true.I should devote myself to endeavour to be a professional.Learn from the mistakes and become experience and well verse in Laws and social sensibility.I should not take opportunities as granted, make use of the chances given and appreciate what people had shared.
Be that as it may, I've gained a wonderful experience sharing some good times with judges and ethic law coursemates. Such ambience did make me to imagine that I'm one of the inner pupil.Well, I think I should get use to this kind of function as part of my career. Learn to communicate and to know our Law colleagues better for the simple reason that people connection is crucial in my profession.
12 Aug will be my short call day, works become more challenging. Hope my qualities grow by everyday learning experiences. Add oil baaa~~~

Current live
It is going to be the second week of my chambering with Yeo.Something strange and unexpected had happened since filing my petition.I always thought that my learning scope is gonna be wider once petition filed at KL High Court. However, the response he had delivered were disappointing me. I even cry alone in the office's wash room because of nothing to do, what a sad and radiculous action it is? It must be something wrong to me as I think I'm the only and the first people in the world who crying for the reason of nothing to do in the office.
Frankly, I'm this kind of person, because I have my own expectation to me, such expectation is for my future but others peoples or others purposes. I do expect something from Yeo and YTHT. His negative response to me had put me in the extreame paradox and self-doubting. He completely put me into a stage of stagnation which I wish it will never happen to me during my pupilage, I want a fruitful, experienced and meaningful journey of pupilage, instaead of only accupying an office room acted like a young lawyer in the firm. I hate this feeling and I felt I'm down-grading myself that causing me insecure.
Sometimes, I really short of idea to Yeo. He is putting me beside his room, giving me nothing to do yet he treating me quite good from his tiny caring action and his attitude to me. He was as expected remember my birthday last week and took initiative to send me the birthday wish in the morning. Yet, he gave nothing to me in term of to acheive the purpose of pupilage. Based on the pupilage handbook that I was just possessed last week, I was stucked in the very initial stage of learning and there are more to learn within this short period in which I really afraid of I will still stuck at the same stage even few months passed.
I was crying alone in the toilet for not only self-disappointed and also disappointed to his promise made during the interview and disappointed to my current situation where learning nothing with little salary. I dont care who he is, even he can become a Sultan out of sudden but he is still the person who previously promise to deliver something useful to guarantee my future legal career, he is irresponsible and I'll consider him as a lier if none of his promise fruitful despite of his position, either Dato or sultan, I dont care. I think i should talk my mind to him in case I'm still learning nothing in my future pupilage.
I wish if this is the only time for me to pray for the same thing. My dear God, Papa and my beloved Ancestre who in the heaven and of you really hear me, do bless me for not repeating the useless life start tomorrow onwards. Thank you and I'll really appreciate the blessing thy give. Good night!

My first Petition :)
Sush, Kelly and I depart to KL High Court in the early morning to file our very frist petition for short call. We've taken different transportation to reach every destination on time which really make our day. It also enlightening me the benefit of being independent for solving problems by our own effort. We learned a lot through out the journey, although exhaustive yet interesting.
No sooner after we got down at Nilai KTM, a train arrived and we manage to ride on without any delay. About 40 miniutes later, we arrived KL Sentral and manage to ride on a cab to KL High Court within 15 minutes. The capital High Court looked like an old castle which built in the great force of imposing posture consisting 5 levels with athestical disignation creatures. We met Collin and Shieh Mei and a MMU Law senior too. This experience endowed us with the court procedural skills and knowledges. We often went up and down stairs for applying endorsement and paying fees. I personaly suggested that they should put those relevant departments in 1 level instead of seperate levels for our convenience and time.
After repeated up and down exercise, we then head towards KL Bar Council for serving petition, and serve to Putrajaya AGC which take us an hour of journey by bus. We complete all these things at 12.30 p.m. which is far more better than what we've expected. Then we start wondering how to get a transport to bus terminal for riding on a JB express bus. After asking few nice stragers, they suggested us to ride on a bus towrds Putrjaya Sentral. We did so by only RM 0.50 bus fares per person which is unbelievably cheap.We supposed that it might only be a walking distance, yet, it was a pretty long journey which almost spend half an hour to reach the destination. When arrived, we were taking prejudice by its impressive building outlook and confirmed that fast food restaurants were inclusively provided by this nice building. We were then rushed towards up stairs after we've bought the bus ticket, but the fact prove us wrong and giving us a lesson that nvr judge a book by its cover.We were end up eating bread from morning to noon.
All in all, it was an exhaustive journey which spare us persistency and maturity. I felt i've grew up in this journey with 2 of them that marked the very beginning of my legal career as a CHAMBEE. Yes, pls call me chambee!An Independent Chambee :)

SOS for my English Grammar!!!!
English, a weapon for Lawyers to earn their living and it is the basic of their career, without which,you are clearly not one of them.Apparently, my english grammar use to has serious problems that really vexed me and eventually delay my learning progress in the firm. Mr Yeo had complaint this problems oftenly, to be precised, he is complainig each time he is reading my draft letters. He directly pointed out my horrible grammatical mistakes and he was trying to explain to me nicely,yet, I clearly know that he will not always being nice to me and I do understand that I should do something to improve more and effeciently.
No doubt, I was taking actions to level up my language, however, it has been a matter of efficient. I realized that taking action is not enough; to apply the learning outcome at work is much important than everything. How to express something vividly and apporpriately with good grammar and vocab are my goals recently.To address this issue efficiently, I need to do the following:-
1. Convincing myself to speak and write proper english confidently.
2. Reminding myself to forget about people's compliments and deliberate critiques, remember how a wise peopel behave and people's good advise for improvements.
3. Stop building castle in the air.Allowed day dreaming only before sleep.
4. Fostering a good habit of reading and find out pattern of sentences used.
5. Speak only English in the firm.
Yea, these are my strategics and solutions to deal with my problems EFFICIENTLY! I'm sincerely looking forward to the obvious improvement through my performance and able to compete in future.
Dad Bless ME ~~ Good night!
