filming!

I have not been updating this blog for long. A brand new semester has started, and life is no doubt, hectic but promising! I was feeling very “empty” before the semester begins, until I received an email from the law school asking me if I am interested in the law school video shooting! Wow, I was amazed really. I never thought, for one moment that this very opportunity would happen on me! I filmed last Thursday, together with one of my lecturers and another law firm’s partner. The experience was indeed wonderful.

Few days before filming, I was indeed, trembled with fear that I would not speak fluently, would not perform well during the video. I had been trying to predict, what type of questions I would be asked during the filming session so that I would be able to prepare a little beforehand. But, well… things do not always go well as expected, but thank God that I managed to answer the questions asked (hopefully satisfactorily) during the filming. The manager seemed to be satisfied, well, I hope so!

Anyways, these were the photo taken on my filming day! They asked me to wear a dress, haha.

No fear

I have been haunted by worries, nightmares and uncertainties. Putting aside my university’s administration problem, I am now troubled by my sponsor. Many of my friends received emails inviting them to upload their resumes on a particular website, so that they would be, or at least, have the chance to be selected by some Multinational Corporations and therefore, to work with them.

However, I did not receive any of the emails! I emailed the person-in-charge (or whom I thought was the person-in-charge) and he told me, those emails were a mistake and they were meant for those who graduated in 2011. Fine. I felt dubious about the answer, but, I can’t do anything but to accept the fact because that was the reply he gave me in the email. And, I told my friends about this accordingly.

Just then, I had a chat with my friend and found out that those emails weren’t a mistake, but in fact, they were meant to be sent to the students. My friend confirmed this by asking the policy maker, so the answer couldn’t be wrong. But, you know what, the fact is that, I did not receive any of the emails!.

Well, I will be a law graduate soon, what should I do? God, please help me! I shall fear no more.

Reflection

In a blink of an eye, my summer holiday ends like that, in no time. Big Sigh.

Well, on the bright side and just to comfort myself, this summer has been rewarding and satisfying for the lazy me had completed my few weeks of attachment in a Penang law firm! =] The firm’s name shall not be mentioned since I had written some nonsense about my experiences in my previous posts. Nevertheless, the short period of attachment has gained me valuable insights and experiences for the studies of law is incomplete without any practical experience of it :) Support that! – I have learnt so much, laughed very much and eaten incredibly much but, at the same time, I have worried and concerned as much. Not to forget - I have exercised a lot too – I “pulled” my lawyers’ luggages in and out from the court, the law firms, across the road- like a crazy student from no where! But, thankful enough, they allowed me to sit in the court with them and were kind enough to teach me their valuable advocating skills and to spend me huge meals for almost everyday! *Fats* 

Apart from that, I applied for another attachment in another law firm- and thank God, everything went well and I shall begin my work in June/July 2012.

I visited my grandpa yesterday morning. It has been ages since I last visited him for I have been studying in Australia and do not have the opportunity to visit him very often. He smiled and called me “JuneJune” immediately when he saw me. The smile was really precious. My tears were about to drop at the moment I heard that, but thankfully, I managed to control my emotion. My grandpa no longer has the ability to recognize people – he could not even recognize his own daughter, but he could recognize me, and managed to call my name – yet, I did not bother visiting him often, and did not even care! I feel really regret and sorry for being such a bad grand-daughter. I promise, I will pay you a visit immediately when I come back, I wouldn’t drag and I will love you more, grandpa :) I Love you!

Last but not least, I am really annoyed by this “friend” of mine! I wouldn't want to say more, but I just wanted to repeat what I have already written in my previous posts- everyday has just been an assessment for me to see how complex and how cunning you are!

sorry, but not sorry

I am sorry but I have to say, 

Each day has been an assessment, for me to see how complicated your thoughts are and how complicated you are.

love :)

I FEEL LOVED 

THANKS SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!

Attachment- No More

Hiah, I am so bored at home right now- should have extended my attachment period with the firm. I applied for  attachment in other firms as well, but, till now, I have not received any reply- if you refuse to accept me, at least email me a rejection letter or something right?! OK, I realised this is quite a retarded way to start my diary, but sorry, couldn't help.

But, I am so proud and happy to say that my 2 weeks attachment in P&M law firm has thought me way too much- apart from the normal things one could learn from doing attachment such as enhancing one's legal research skill, I realised, this attachment has gained me valuable life experiences. Thanks to all the friendly partners, legal assistants and chambies in the firm- particularly their support, encouragement and patience :)

My first day to the firm was a little nostalgic- that I thought I knew nothing and was going to be scolded all the time by the lawyers due to my dumb-ness. LOL. But, it was the other way round. Thank God for Alan, the chambie who introduced me to all the partners, legal assistants and other staff members which made it easier for me to mingle around with them later on. People were way too welcoming, I felt the warmness really.

There was once when Alan forced me to talk to the big boss of the firm. I was scared and yep, started to drama again. LOL! but, I made it to talk to her! After the talk, I knew that my mum was once, very powerful. That's true, I am not joking (yep, we even talked about my mum, haha) Ehem! Thanks to her that I had the chance to attend court hearing with her in Penang High Court. No joke, but I was impressed by the counsel's skill :)

For lunch, I would just mingle with the lawyers- Believe it or not, I had only paid for myself twice for lunch in this 2 weeks- that means, I was getting free lunches all the while except for that 2 days. Thanks to all the partners and LAs. Love you all :)

The touching bit is, all of them asked me to 'come back', 'come back after you graduated', even the big boss said so! I felt so touched that they were just being way too appreciative.

Thank you for all the experiences people. I would definitely go back if opportunity allows :)

Attachment Joke- Day 3

There must be a huge reason behind why I am in love with this damn firm :)

Partner A: June, go find the "ingredients" where the court would grant specific performance in this case...
June: OK
Partner B: Aiyoh.. you ask her to find ingredients... later she will go and find ingredients to make cake and bake a cake for you...
June: No-lah, I don't know how to bake cake. I don't even know how to cook properly, how do I know how to bake cake!
Partner A: OK.. OK...
June: I can buy for you if you want, but...
Partner B: but wut...
June: I will charge you.. cuz your pocket is very very fat!
Partner B (putting his hands on his forhead): aiyohhhhhhhhhh

Partner A: June, you go photocopy this case and read it at home ya.
Partner B : you ask her photocopy???
Partner A: okok, you dont photocopy, you ask someone else to do that, later if the photocopy machine spoils then i have to call someone to repair pulak

Partner B: eh, she can speak mandarin you know?
