S C Teh & Azura--- A brand new beginning of my Legal Career

This is the first day in Messrs S C Teh & Azura. Although I'd have working as an attachee in the same firm about 2 years ago. Yet, the feeling now is very much different than the previous one. It's not simply the change of my status from a pupil to a full fresh lawyer, it's also because of the change of co-workers, environment and field of works.

My first day was started off by a very unlucky morning which I was trapped by a heavy traffic jam. I was so terrible that reach office 30 minutes late. The boss was sitting front of the entrance, and he still threw me an embarrass smile despite of my late entry. Then, he starts explain those files which were putting on my table. When explaning bankruptcy files, I was stupidly, unconciuosly divulge to him that "I did once before". Then he was like quite shocking by knowing the fact of "doing once" only in my chambering period. Ya... This situation was foreseeable throughout my pupillage when I was trapped in an ivory tower of doing only NOP. What to do, not familiar means not familiar, it's better to be honest to boss now than to pretend you know sth which you dunno in future. Before he left for KL, he asked me to join a developer meeting with him tml noon. Well, I shouldn't let this opportunity go so easily this time, I must show to boss that I'm able to do things, to handle sth confidently and able to mingle with client.

All staff were same as before but I dunno why, their attitude seems like changing quite a lot to me. They become more serious when talking with me, no talking nonsense with me anymore. Or my face has been too serious to them? Especially Margaret, her face is damn serious. Not like before anymore. She was less patient to me. This is time to observe and to treat each of them appropriately. Ms Pai treat me lunch today. Although we chat to each other but I can see that we have less common topic. Hope that time can get us closer to each other.
