A brand new week with a bluish Monday~ Go to work as usual and thinking that I'll probably doing sidelined jobs as my current routine at work. Things often work out so differently from what I've anticipated...
Yeo in the office 11 a.m. sharp. He was then got Eng to pass me a letter and ask me to see him after prusing the same. A bad feeling come acrss my mind when I read the same content as the to the agreed bundle preparation I did on last 2 week. My bad feeling became stronger when I enter Yeo room and such feeling took effect after a series of Yeo's gratutious comments (terms that he usually use to express himself when he is actually teasing) to me. Although such comments deem unreasonable to me, yet I still feeling graceful to him, because his willingness of few minutes comments to me is far better than leaving me alone and doing nothing. Although felt a little discouraged by his words, after all I was surprisingly delighting and enlightening.
He comment badly to my work I did for him last 2 week. He complaint about my lack of initiative to aware things that he didnt inform or instruct me. He was effectively point out my problem of unpracticability as I always doing things like a student which I shouldnt. He said that whenever he gave me a task to do is not only like an school exercise, everything I did or going to do are with its purposes, I should take more initiative to really help him or reduce his burden by increasing my observation and awareness to find out something that he did not realize or to develope certain hided issues that not yet discovered by him. Ya.. I think I got some clues from him, although he choose to express in this way to me, yet I know what he means. If I'm not mature enough, I will take his words as mischivious or mala fide. Whereas, after I've been digested and conteplated his comments to me, I decided to take it as bona fide from him.
Bear also telling me the same that I should be more mature when listening to his comments which are actually for my benefit. Mom said that he is actually want me to pay more attention to things which might be insignificant but very important to me. Or something that I'll overlook frequently. All in all, I understand his point of view and I do hope I can learn from a more mature way and show him my abilities.
Afternoon, he ask me to follow Joey to Court to observe how Joey deposit the submission to Timbalan Registrar. Then Joey also offered me a Court tour and endeavour to explain each deparment with its function to me. Of cause, I appreciate her help and willingness of sharing. Despite of the court tour, I did enquire her about the opinion to the current firm ,reason for her to stay for long and files that she handled in the firm. The first 2 answers were quite satisfied, however, I'm pondering on the last enquiry to her. Becasue she answer me that she is actually assisting Mr LEE files as a court runner. Indeed, this is quite unbelievable as she already stayed for almost beyond 10 years. I'm wondering wouldnt she manage to handle files independently? Why she cant? Why she is still doing an assistant kind of work after so many years of legal experience? Is this firm looking down upon females' lawyers ability? Will I subject to what she has been through in future? If yes, it is terrible. Because I will definitely do not want to be a lawyer who only know to assist but not back with abilities to handle cases independently.
No matter how and what the firm going to be, what should I do for now is to act like a lawyer, be observative, mature and more initiative! When there is a will, there is a way :D
