amusing stuff law students do…

 

DSC00132pardon the pathetic picture quality
 
but this was taken at 11.30 a.m. before our 12.00 p.m. Land Law lecture in our lecture hall
a good half an hour before classes commence and the front seats are fully reserved
 
amusing how despo we law students can be for front seats in lecture halls
 
oh how i miss the kiasu-ness
 
i just thought that it was funnily amusing lol
 
i wonder does this happens in other universities/colleges
hmmm…

i once dreamt…

image
you know how the past generation tells us that:
we must dream big, we must dream high to be successful
not only we must dream, we must believe in our dreams that it will one day come to pass
 
i dream
and i dream a lot
 
growing up as daddy’s girl
growing up around daddy’s office
growing up running around the big black table sitting on daddy’s big brown chair
growing up wondering how it felt like to wear the funny-white-hair-thing that daddy had on his head on his graduation picture
growing up flipping through daddy’s law journals kept at home even at a young age
 
despite the fact that being a lawyer was never my first dream
i would not deny that i had always admired how smart daddy looked when he is fully dressed to court :)
 
being inspired by daddy
 
i dreamt of taking place in a law firm as a qualified lawyer
i dreamt of taking charge of a law firm
i enjoyed every single second i had at work despite all the hard work involved
weird to say but i enjoyed myself rushing through deadlines and getting to go to court and all
 
soon enough i’m in love with the job itself no matter how much daddy tried to persuade me out of it
 
most of my friends dread graduation
i anticipate graduation
most of my friends dread the working life
i cant wait to start my career life
 
i’m literally living in the future
 
then again reality hits hard telling me that:
1. my UCAS application deadline is coming up and i’ve not done my personal statement
2. assignments are due in dec and i have only done “some” research
3. i’m suppose to bring all my notes and charts back but i’m quite behind schedule
4. i have a year 2 exam to score in order to save my not-so-good year 1 results
 
i enjoy picturing myself handling real life cases
i enjoy picturing myself in the full business suit
i enjoy dreaming of how i would love to work in huge law firms like what i watched in Boston Legal
i wished i could one day work in such a professional and prestige firm
 
for me,
being a lawyer isnt about the money
neither is it about the glamour and the fame
being a lawyer seems more like a dream than anything else
 
i had lots of plans and dreams for my future career
i even made up my mind to go into practice
 
nevertheless,
it did pass my mind to work someplace else to gain some outside experience before going back to daddy’s firm to work
it did pass my mind to learn things from other firms be it staff management, client management, various types and areas of cases
 
but my heart aches when i hear about the stress daddy is going through dealing with all those heavy cases :(
i guess i would still be running back immediately hoping to ease his struggles
 
hang on k daddy?
 
if there is something that keeps me going now, i would say this would be it
my dream to graduate well
my dream to do the bar
my dream to be a good and successful lawyer
my dream to do daddy proud :)
 
i finally got my motivation
i finally got something to look at to keep me going
 
back to research, study, reading and more research, more studying and much more case and article readingSSS :)
 
everybody knows dreaming isnt everything
everybody knows dreaming without hardwork would not get you pass your exams
everybody knows a dream will remain a dream until the day it comes to pass
 
when you get snapped back into reality
you find your motivation in your dream
now seeing the bigger picture
i shall try to laze no more

my world? weird world?

just last week over legal practice we had this discussion on transexuals and the legal sides of whether the law should allow them to change their gender details in legal documentations
 
while i was quite disgusted to hear about such issues going on even in malaysia (although not as widespread as other countries)
 
somehow it still troubles my heart to see more and more transexuals as well as homosexual activities arising over recent years
 
there is always two sides to any story you hear
one side you have people upholding and claiming for human rights
another side you have people disgusted and repelling against such activities and actions or the people involved in such activities
 
if you ask me
i would take a more what people say religious stand point on it and am disgusted by such activities
however i would still think that these people are nevertheless still human beings and should be treated as human beings
but does that really mean we would/must accept their actions and behaviours?
 
it amuses me how much the world and society has evolved and developed over the centuries
we never heard of such homosexual/transexual cases in the past what more to say hearing about people actually struggling with such tendencies
 
the world is changing and it is getting scarier by the day
 
********
 
by the way,
 
i read this while doing my news reading on e-newspapers for legal news :P
 
how much weirder can cases be nowadays
 
weird but i find it amazing that such cases actually happen in real life
 
i guess dramas and movies do come true after all
or is it people are getting better in writing scripts seeing weird stuff around them :P

currently…

currently in week 4 of my 1st semester of year 2 in law school
it has been bittersweet i’d say
 
first 4 weeks had been rather easy going other than occasional tutorial preparation days
classes had been fun and occasionally funny at some point  of times
workload..not quite there yet..
 
but i still do need to put some effort in getting myself OUT of technology hunting mode INTO law studying and reading mode
 
which means i really ought to consider shutting down my lappy to sit down and read evidence..
real evidence.documentary evidence.legal burden.evidential burden.burden of proof.standard of proof
 
why does the general rule have to have so many exceptions?

beats me :)

2 weeks and counting on…

the internet has been pathetic
but i’m happy that i could at least log in my farmville to harvest all my crops and replant them :D
 
it has been 2 weeks since year 2 officially started
things have been going pretty slow but it would be increasing its pace within a few more weeks time
that should be when assignments would be pouring in i guess
 
till then,
i’m still making sense out of the 5 subjects that i have to take
and the only subject that is keeping my chins high and hopes up is perhaps legal practice
legal practice workshop so far had been simply enlightening
listening to all those stories about working, pupilage.. (smack me.. i’m dreaming again)
perhaps that is the only reason why i’m still holding on
 
but as for the other 4
hmm.. other than occasional oohs and ahhs while reading the textbook
i’d say i’m still looking for a way around this 4 subjects
 
classes had been going fine and i still have to say my timetable is awesome despite the fact i have classes on saturday afternoons :S
sad isnt it?
 
oh well i’ll just have to put up with it till the end of semester 1 but i really dont mind going for legal practice lectures :P haha
 
nothing specific to update since all i have been doing for these 2 weeks had been
eating, sleeping, reading, watching dramas, eating, sleeping, reading and that pretty much sums up everything
just hoping that it would all be worthwhile by the end of the semester :)
 
i had a long long chat with my high school buddies on msn yesterday
the thought of it makes me miss them even more
4 of us in 4 different parts of the globe
having different time of holidays
i really miss the times we spent together
celebrating birthdays, talking crap, laughing out loud, studying, playing, joking, doing projects
 
**********
 
i have been thinking a bit too much again
but never seem to be able to organise my thoughts
 
in evidence tutorial today we had this discussion about whether we should be using our brain or our heart to make a decision
some said we should use our brain
some said we should use our heart
 
using your brain meaning you judge/decide on a situation based on what you think, logic, reasoning as well as what you see
using your heart meaning you go along with how you feel about the current situation and what you feel what you should do, your emotions
then again emotions cant be trusted all the time
 
your brain tells you cannot have it but your heart desires otherwise
your brain tells you should not do something but your heart longs to do the same
your brain and logic tells you to put everything down but your heart cant seem to do the same
your brain tells you to focus but your heart seems to be flying someplace else
your brain tells you that doing so will hurt you but you heart is still willing to take the risk
i really dont know anymore about this brain and heart battle
your heart tells you that you should trust but your heart remains doubtful
 
after seeing so much going on
after witnessing so much
i really do not know which to believe anymore
i’m tired of this sort of game
very very tired
