I am a proud labour! :)

When I was 16 I thought by 25 I will have everything, like seriously EVERYTHING such as a great career, a cool ride maybe a sport car or superbike, a beautiful house to live with my parents, but here I am 23 years old and reality is all of that dreams seems are still far away to be fulfilled. This year's labour day was my 1st as employee, although being a pupil is not considered as 'real work' but I do what other with REAL work does such as wakes up early, hating every ondays and counting days for Friday, go through the horrible traffic jam, the workload and stress, scolded by lawyers or clients, running here and there, chasing due date for works given, doing case research, etc so I can proudly say I work hard to earn my allowance. I believe I started to appreciate the value of money a bit more compare to the time when I was just a student getting allowance from my dad. But I also love spending them for people I love because its not worth the happiness earning so much if they are not with me to share it. On that note to all working class heroes out there, have a relax day and enjoy your day. Take care and until next working day, wee-hoo!

Sheaffer the word.



Am so touched for this thoughtful and sweet gift at the end of my 3rd month of chambering, thanks a lot Ayah! My 1st set of SHEAFFER which engraved with my name, will use them once I become a lawyer soon, InsyaAllah. He who wait for me late at night just to eat dinner together, he who faced all the troubles to help me with my works although legal world isn’t his field, he who has to listen to all the whining about how stressful & tiring working life is (just imagine what our parents have gone through all these years to provide us the perfect life we are enjoying now), he who never give up on me and most importantly he who loves me unconditionally! Love my Ayah, who doesn’t right? I’ll always be daddy’s little girl :’)


Sometimes simple thing makes you feel so loved and blessed, physically and mentally tired, completely beaten up but this has now redeemed all of that.

What's in the pointer?

Here I am, after 5 long years of journey being a law student I end up on this hot chair of various interviews to get a place to do my Pupilage. I started pretty late since only in December I start eyeing for firms and stuffs compare to my friends who some of them already gaining experience for more than a month now, my philosophy is chill until the completion letter is out.LOL. This is another phase I can't wait to get over with and get on with my life, 1001 questions running in my mind right now of what will they expect from a fresh graduate. Will they test me solely on the education part or do they want to see how we carry our self, our confidence level or maybe like most of the stories I heard they will be most impressed with how a street smart survived in the real world.


That brings me to 1 thing that I regret the most for not be able to accomplished within my 5 years, you know when we done with school we listened to a lot of people who aim for 4 flat when they entered an University and so do I.That was 1 of my dream, seeing my own sister who was a JPA's scholar as well as later a TM's achieved that really drives me to at least tried my best but sadly I never get to fulfilled that because the truth is I'm such a procrastinator and I just have to be satisfied with my highest GPA of 3.78 and CGPA of 3.64. I was never the smartest in the class, nor the straight As student like I used to be in school therefore I just have to be grateful to finally graduated as a 2nd class student. I always envy few of my classmates in the special small batch, they are supersmart and they know how to divide their time smartly without jeopardize their future. I guess I'm a bit too late to regret all this but I will not give up from here.There are so much out there need to be discovered so I will not stop here. At the end of the day I like to believe and endorse to people out there, pointer might be crucial but it is not EVERYTHING that will decide how you'll shape up your future.Yeah I might sound like a loser who try to feel good about herself, but think about it and you'll agree with me.Don't feel down, there is still time for YOU to do your best!



Like they say,'Tuntutlah ilmu hingga ke negara China dan hingga ke liang lahad' meaning there is no boundaries of where and until when you should strive for more educations.



December:Honeymoon period ends for this lazy fat couch potato,time to pull it together & get serious..Wish me luck people!

Last words

When I listed down all the lecturers' names who has taught me over these 4 years, those who made this Degree of Law LLB (Hons) possible, there are around 20 plus but unfortunately some of them have left to a better place and great offer so when I'm back to get stuffs done its just some sort of token of appreciation to meet each and one of them personally with little gift and express my gratitude and just kinda getting their blessing in embarking towards this new phase.It was indeed so much fun meeting and chatting with them, it may be for the final time,their last words were so motivating and inspiring.Among those we able to catch up were:



Mdm J: She told us what to expect from a chambering period,what type of firms should we apply for,how to prepare ourselves before applying.She also informed us that she'll be involved in our ILKAP training in February.

p/s:Gulppp,you tell me whether its a good thing or a bad one.



Mdm.G: For me she's the epitome of what a real sincere teacher should be.Its always a pleasure listening to her words of advice,she's so motherly.I have such a respect for her,and her thoughts of how should we deal with our career,life and everything in between.

p/s: She explained to us the new MMU exam system,I'm sad and pity for those who will be suffering from now on because it seems lecturers have lost their immunity completely in protecting and fighting for students' rights.



Mdm.F: The way she took a whole minute looking at us with that proud(I think so) smile,and a huge sigh of relief and that big hug I guess that explains a lot.Time do flies is basically the essence of our conversation that time.Also her 2 cents on how we should dealing with the outer world after this,and how to always keep ourselves grounded and always respects others with respect no matter how big we become 1 day.She even reminded us that she's no longer the Head of Law School,as if we don;t know that.hahaha.

p/s: I beg to differ with ALL my seniors who kept putting thoughts in our innocent mind since our 1st semester of how bad,fierce,and mean our senior lecturers are when they completely OPPOSITE of everything what we've been told.I'm glad all the senior lecturers remember the early years of us there.



Mr.G: The 1st thing he asked was,(he always does,since my 1st year) 'you always in a group of your girls,so everyone is graduated already?'.He also reminiscing our early years,what subjects he taught us,and wish us luck and words of advice.

p/s: Will miss those little things like his trademark of hair flipping and rubbing his stomach while talking to us.



Dr.MZ: Why didn't you reply all my comments in your FB?You saw my comments on your album,regarding Pikaia?I'm pretty sure your friends would love to know more about that,why don't you post a video on that and tag Ms.Atikah?

Me: Owh..ermm..about that sir,I'm sorry maybe I've missed that 1 because there are too many notifications.(I feel bad but I promise will reply it soon,and see how I use my charm to change the topic!Successful attempt,phewww) Sir,take care and don't miss us too much that you liked 16 of my profile pictures in 5 minutes.hahaha

Dr.MZ: Laughing here.That's a great punching line to depart.

p/s: I rest you assured sir,NONE in my friend list would love to learn about ANYTHING Jurisprudence-ly in FB.They might deleted me after a while.lol.



Ms.A: She's the best!We can talk about anything under the roof with her,even she has been with us since 1st year and she's definitely our unofficial counselor.Her room is our comfort zone,once you go in you never want to leave that room.Yes,its that good.She will be missed dearly,the most I personally think.

p/s: Her vacation plan sounds so great that its inspired me to work hard and saving!




Dr.M: The second I entered the room.'What's with that cheeky smile?What are you up to?'

Me: God,no.There's no cheeky smile.You always have something against me aren't you?We are here to day hi,asking how are you doing.So please be nice.(enter cheeky smile here,haha)Its been quite a long time since we sit down and catching up,the last time you were just Ms.M to me but look at you now we call you Dr.M.

Dr.M: Ya,its been quite a time.Last time you were so skinny in my class,what happened now?You look bloated?(Moment of silent.here where I ran to the corner of the room and cry my heart out!she's mean and its an ugly truth pun.How can you hate her,so witty) What have you been doing,stop lazying around and do something worth will you?

Me: I will once the letter is out,now I'm just enjoying doing stuffs that I don't get to do in the last 4 years.

p/s: She asked about further education planning,tell her once we decided where to go,long distance relationship,Shah Rukh Khan and Delhi,and lots more. More sarcasms later we departed,but it always a fun and rejuvenating feeling meeting her.



p/s:She definitely has been 1 of my favourite although I'm not to her,but only her sarcasms can match mine and she always has something to rebut back and thus our sarcastic sense is kinda compatible with each other,but of course everytime I had to back off because at the end of the day she is my lecturer and she was the one who gave me grades right.So,give her chance lah.lol.



All my lecturers play such an important role in my life,eventhough like 1 of my friend said that we actually paid for our education thus over appreciation is not necessary but by doing this really makes me feel good about myself and moving forward.Hope to meet them soon,not with the student title anymore but somebody title.InsyaAllah,amin:)
