Just like a blink of eyes, I'm admitted by the Bar Council as one of the members in the Bar as an Advocate & Solicitor. So, I've burnt my 9 months of being an silly and knowing nothing crab junior, who allowed making mistakes without bearing any liability. Now, everything has changed. People asked me, what's your feeling of changing your status from a "Rookie" pupil to a full fledge Lawyer? The only thing I sensed is, I'm going to paly a game in my career with all the undertaking, risk and liabilities. A moment later after the ceremony of the admission, I start to realise the important of growing traits of a professional. I begin to mind my words and attitude when talking to people as well as the quality in me.
I was touched by my fellow comrades, families, good friend and colleagues who spending time to attend the reception and ceremony, to be my eye witness of this memorable moment. Although Yeo wasn't came for robbing ceremony, but I've received his wishes and blessing by sms and spiritually detaction. He showed me a vivid example of a lawyer--> Highly commitment to your profession, to your firm and to your client. He got every trait that I must learn despite of those bad habits that he used to revealed when interacting with people.
But then, due to not staying in the firm who groomed me this period, people keep asking the reason of leaving and so on and so forth. "Since your master was so dedicated, why leave?" "Your master really want you to stay, why you leave, he is so sad, you know?" Ya...It's a pretty sad thing for not remained in the firm. He is kind, nice, dedicated, a mentor to me. Yet, this is nothing to with the issue of staying. People also have a incorrect concept - atleast to me, its incorrect - people always think that we should spend 1 or 2 years for your master's firm as a token of appreciation, regardless it had been known to you that, this master's firm will not be your choice for long term basis, and it has zero prospect to you! I admit that when peopel say he is sad for my leaving, it did trigger my compassion to him and to the firm. Maybe I'm a type of very sensible and rational human being, that compassionate feeling doesn't paster me for long, I immediately wake up and understand that I did not make a wrong choice by realizing the factual unsuiltable prospect of the firm. I've made a convincing conclusion to me that, this firm is good in terms of being fostered and groomed by the boss ; yet this is not a place that I'm looking forward to expertise my career and self-exposure.
I'm currently having my 1 week holiday before I join the new but familiar firm. The firm that I did my attchment and the firm that to commence my legal career--> S C Teh & Azura. This is a chance to see the change, the new inspiration and my ability to proof to myself that I can be a very good lawyer if not in YTHT and I can survive and exposed much more than before. Be humble and improve the needed quality to accomodate my future career as a Professional Lawyer :D
