Manglish

Malaysia English (or also known as Manglish) is the most interesting product of the multicultural and multiracial country! I'm proud of myself lah.

LOL

Contentment

What is contentment? It is a state of being satisfied with what you have. I believe that we should bear in mind that there are always room for improvement even we are contended. After having a quality conversation with my friend today, I truly understand why kiwi lifestyle is so much different compared to most of the countries in the world.

We used to live in a place that keep us from content with what we have. Everyone (including myself) has always influenced by surroundings or media to be demanding. For instance, when a girl look like celebrities, specific lifestyles, marry a rich man or earning more money then will make her very happy. What is the problems with us now?

I never seen any youth in kiwiland (so far) using smartphone in comparison with most of my friends in Malaysia. You can see the rich kiwi wearing torn shirts and jeans like a normal people walking around the town, there is not much people carrying branded stuff in contrast with what we normally see in Asean countries. Kiwi (New Zealand people) are contented with what they are having now! It is the main factor that they have a longer lifespan and younger look!

I think the main problem that we are all facing now is lack of self confidence. We often being brainwash in the materialistic world that money can buy happiness. The only method to overcome this problem is to do the human revolution in order to determine what we want in the life despite of other influences. It is important to differentiate what we "want" and what we "need".

Frankly speaking, sometimes I will feel some disappointment after I came to kiwiland for 2 months. Unlike the stable working schedule as I expected, as a result I pokkai. Hahahaha. Then how can I save money to travel and to do the things I want as I imagined? Then we spent rest of our time/holidays rotting in a super small town to waste our working holidays.

BUT wait, I am feeling happy right now although everything is out of my expectation. I never knew that the tiny mini small town that I am currently living is soooo beautiful espcially the wharf and beaches. It is more beautiful than anywhere else that I have visited so far.

Moreover, I had bunch of lovely friends in the small town! A bestie or roomie that we share every moment together. A housemate who share with me many adventure stories. A super duper childish friend that have the power to cheer me up. A teacher that have many insightful thoughts. A blackface that can really smile and sharing his lessons with me. A pair of lovey dovey that can crazy with me. A bro that we can talk everything under the sun. A friend who is really eager to earn money. A bunch of cooking-mates that fattening together. And many kiwi ama/agong to crap and have fun! Look, I am really appreciate and thankful for what I have right now.

Last but not least, I want create value and beautiful memories in my remaining two months in the beautiful kiwiland. Take my time to adventure, explore and discover :)

马来西亚大选2013

今天早上知道反对党在这届大选输了。一开电脑，Facebook简直被黑暗笼罩，好像earth hour，到底发生了什么事呢？

然后就开始阅读新闻，才发现原来我们大选为全世界表演了精彩的魔术，可以把不可能变成可能！

看到那么多新闻，照片，短片。我很伤心失落，眼泪不禁的掉下。我难过的不是哪一个政党赢了大选，而是我们政府为什么使了那么多肮脏手段呢？我感到无比羞耻。这不只让全世界看不起我们，更重要的是这给了年轻一代的我们一种错误的教育！到底公平正大还能打败势力和黑暗吗？我们可以向谁讨个公道，法庭法官律师真的会维持正义吗？

我看到我们首相发布了＂华人海啸＂的言论，我的心如刀割。这届大选公正党回教党赢了44个国会议席，火箭党赢了36个议席。这证明了不只是华人希望看到改变，其他友族也想要改变！不是说好了一个大马，1Malaysia,不是说好大家一起和谐生活，不分你我的生活在我最爱的榴莲国土吗？为什么这场大选结果只是＂华人＂海啸呢？为什么要煽动种族课题呢？我希望这次经验能我们马来西亚人更团结！

我和大家一样都想看到改变，给新政府一个机会，如果做不好下届可以再换，有竞争才有进步嘛！

但我对换政府只抱着49%的期望，为什么呢？因为我身边很多马来同学都非常支持国阵。我们这小部分的中等生活阶级，专业人士当然希望看到改变。但不要忘记还有大部分的乡下的人民根本没机会接触电脑，没机会知道政府做了什么。还有一部分的中上阶级的人靠现在的政府吃饭。不同人有不同的立场，其实我们真的很渺小。但请不要忽视这渺小的力量，只要凝聚起来真的可以变成很强大的海啸！

我知道我们这次改变而换来更肮脏腐败的政府。我知道大家很伤心，但毕竟胜负已经是个事实。我也在被单里窝了超过一小时，我在想我们到底除了在Facebook换黑色的大头像，不停抱怨，还有向联合国请愿，我们还能做什么呢？

1.更强大的反对党

我对政治党派等都一直保持中庸的态度。想要打倒现在的政府就要有很清晰的目标和信念。因为我看到的是一个很脆弱的反对党，还有很多内乱和信仰等问题存在。这是唯一让国阵一直死咬着不放的漏洞。

不要临时抱佛脚。不要等到大选才搞campaign。现在就开始更关心人民，尤其是乡下的朋友们。让他们知道政府做了什么，让他们更了解我们国家！只要证明给人民看到强大的反对党，让我们更有信心成长，必定会有更多其他同胞想要ubah!

2. 国际选举委员会

看到了这次的手段，马来西亚真的需要一个完全不被政府控制的选举委员会！一个第三团体介入！不然我们国家将会变成哈里坡特的hogwarts魔法国界，根本都不需要大选了嘛！唰一下魔棒，又是同一个政府！

3. 我们坚定的信念

我很感动我们这次的大选投票率高达80%！虽然反对党输了，但这已经足足证明了人民的国民意识已经提升。我们已经开始成熟而不被牵着鼻子走。这可是迈向先进国的象征呀！

这次大选也紧紧连着我们改变的决心！看到有些朋友对大马澈底失望，要移民，弃权公民等！醒来吧我亲爱的朋友们，这届大选的成绩并不是结束而是崭新的开始！要知道国家政府是不同的东西！我们的国家是个多么资源丰富，没有天灾的美丽国土。我相信只要我们还呼吸，就有可能换政府改变！

国阵从2003年的198跌到2013的133个议席，所以不要放弃呀！改变并非一朝一夕，印度最伟大的领袖甘地可花了32年才取得独立呀！所以我们都要给大马一个机会改变！在法庭上诉都得花上10年，我们这五年很快就会过去！所以不要再说你要放弃马来西亚公民，移民，不投票，失望绝望等！

只要有改变的信念，我们一定可以给我们下一代更好的榴莲国土！

New Chapter

I have finally done with law school! A chapter finish and a new chapter begins!

Let me refresh what I have done in four years time.

1.Enshrine Gohonzon
I think this is the greatest thing I want to yell haha! I finally took up faith and courage to do it despite so many challenges. Just do it!

2.Study
No, I did not graduate with a first class degree :( I felt a little bit disappointed. But no worries, I have spent the time to explore and expose to many things other than just studying.

3.Exchange and Travel.
My uni has always filled of fun due to the frequent exchange to other countries such as UK, US, JPN. I love travelling. It can really reflect your character and tell you which path do you want to go in the future.
2009-Japan
2010-Uk,Belgium,Netherlands,Taiwan
2011-Usa, Thailand
2012-Korea
2013-Philippine,NZ
Many more places to explore, I need a good camera.

4.Growth
Yes no doubt I have grown up *physically?* Holy shit haha! I think I have grown up mentally as well. I don't care about the tiny mini things anymore. But, I am still a cry baby, this emotional problems is the big problems that I am trying to encounter. Determination, Focus and Meticulous is my main focus too.

5. Friends
Yes, I truly realized that how important friends are. QUALITY is outweigh QUANTITY for hundred times. Girlfriends,coursemates,golfmates,soka comrades,lecturer and my Family cum best friends. You are the best companion and support! Thank you so much!

6. Inspirational
Dare to Dream! There are so many things we can achieve by merely using our brain. Think about it and do not afraid of anything else. Then chant for it, do your best. I believe the best outcome will approach you naturally. Do not even care about others comments or criticism. Follow your heart if you think it is right. I learnt to put 100% effort in everything I do, however sometimes the "cincai" character can really help to ease your worries and stress. Ultimately, you will realize that your worries is nothing compared to other more important things happened in the world.

7. Vow
I hope to do my human revolution and hence kosen rufu. Read more to share with my blogger. I want to find out who I really are and do what I really excel. I believe practice makes perfect. Expand my potential in each and every beautiful day.

I hope to find a good master in my pupillage that makes me realized who I am, to live my life to the fullest!


Gonna spend few months to widen my horizon, human revolution and have fun!

I'm all ready for New Zealand and it's my resolution to write at least 2 posts per week to share with y'all! Hehe ;)

Can't wait for my new chapter! Bon voyage ;)

堅強

如果我們註定無法改變這個世界的殘酷，如果我們註定無法遏制生命路途中，將要面對的艱難困苦和逆境厄運，如果我們註定要一個人孤獨的經歷一生的磨難與挫折，那麽就讓我們學會堅強。

   
一個人的路總要自己一個人走，一個人的苦總要自己一個人受，一個人的淚也總要自己一個人流。每個人都是一個獨立的個體，我們不能將這一個獨立的個體徹底的融入另一個個體的靈魂，所以我們必須獨自承受成長的磨礪，所以我們必須學會堅強。

   
第一次摔跤的時候，我們不懂得什麽叫堅強，只知道痛。

當一次次摔倒，又一次次重新站立起來的時候，我們明白了，擦乾眼淚，忘掉疼痛，咬緊牙關挺過去，就是堅強。

堅強是一點點磨練出來的，年輕的時候，我們倔強、輕狂而勇敢，我們敢於向一切未知的東西和舊的習慣勢力挑戰，那不是堅強，而是年少的無知和無畏。

  
當生活的挫折、磨難與壓力一次次將你絆倒，你又一次次站立起來，擦乾眼淚凝望遠方的時候，你的目光中那種堅毅的鎮定裏寫滿的才是堅強。

堅強的背後是血性的剛毅，堅強的背後是壓不曲的脊梁。

堅強的人，淚流乾了依然會挺起堅實的胸膛，堅強的人，血流盡了依然還會有永不改變的信仰。

生活中有太多的荊棘與坎坷，生活中也有著無數的意外與不測，生存本身就是一個巨大的博弈場，我們在博弈中不可能不受傷，也不可能總是風平浪靜，無驚無險。

自然界有適者生存的法則，人類也一樣，唯有堅強才能挺過一個個難關，唯有堅強才能邁過一道道溝坎。

堅強是一種信念，有了這種信念的支撐，我們就有了與命運與厄運抗衡的勇氣。

每個人身上都蘊藏著無盡的潛能，每個人身上也都有著堅強與懦弱的一面，只要我們在面對困難的時候，堅信自己是打不倒的，那麽潛藏在身體內部的堅強的力量便會勃然而發，你也就可以有足夠的信心去迎接挑戰。

堅強是一種智慧，堅強的人懂得生活中沒有一帆風順的成功，沒有盡如人意的一生。同時也沒有邁不過去的溝坎，趟不過去的河流，只有永不退縮，永不妥協，永不輕言放棄的人，才能在黑暗中尋找到黎明的曙光。

生活中的每個人都面臨過挫折、無奈、委屈與病痛，所有的磨難都是生活教會我們堅強與勇敢的手段。

命運從來不會眷顧懦弱與不自信的人，眼淚也不是超脫逆境的武器，唯有堅強才是戰勝困難的法寶。

男人需要學會堅強，堅強的男人才會有信心、有勇氣主宰這個世界。

女人也要學會堅強，堅強的女人才會有能力、有決心主宰自己的命運。

堅強是寒冷孤獨中堅毅的目光；

堅強是疼痛折磨時冷峻的微笑；

堅強是走過荊棘時含在心頭的眼淚；

堅強是面對厄運時不輕言放棄的品質。

堅強的人敢於直面坎坷，從容面對；

堅強的人敢於迎浪而上，自強不息；

堅強的人敢於改變人生，把握命運；

如果鍛煉過的鋼鐵只有淬火以後才會更加堅硬，那麽堅強的心一定也是經歷過種種磨難以後才會更加堅定勇敢。

握著我的手，給你信心，學會堅強，勇敢地去面對所有的挑戰。

A Blessing or a Lesson

“We met for a reason, either you’re a blessing or a lesson.” – Frank Ocean

I honestly believe that every person we meet in this world is here to stay in our lives forever at some capacity or to stay there long enough to teach us something about life and ourselves and then go away. I keep a journal next to my bed titled, “What did you teach me?”  Those persons that come into my life and then end up leaving get sections in this journal. I try not to get sad about them leaving, instead I try to figure out why they were ever there to begin with and record what they taught me. It helps me to become more self aware and to grow; many times preventing repeat events from happening in my future.

Le Finale!

Oh yes, it was an amazing night!

I thought most of them can't make it due to the presentation and assignments, but I am so grateful that everything turns well :)

I choose 99* Garden at Jaya 99 prudential building because I like the conducive environment. Also, the boss are willing to provide the whole area for us that night!!

This is a night where every different "gang" are mixing together irrespective of races and language and lecturer or student!

 Laugh.Fun.Joy.Love

Just do it!

“Hope,” Beethoven cried, “you forge the heart into steel.” 

Hope is confidence. 
Hope is determination. 
Hope is courage. 

And faith is the ultimate expression of hope. Belief fortifies the heart.

Don't worry too much about how your future will be. Get your things done now! Enjoy every single moment now! It's good to have faith and hope, do your best no matter what realities are. I believe the best will come to you eventually!

GOOD LUCK!

gift

A gift consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer.

So much birthdays and parties yeah! Still soaking in the honeymoon and I need to spend my time wisely!

Ohh lala, i can smell Xmas noww!

Till then :)

Believe

“It’s amazing how far you are willing to go when someone believes in you.” - Katie Kacvinsky, First Comes Love

You know, I had never heard this quote until today, I don’t think I ever realized how much I owe my successes to others. I was so lucky to be born to such amazing parents and siblings that ALWAYS believed in me, to have mentors that reminded me daily of their belief and to be surrounded by the most amazing friends throughout my life. It’s one thing to believe in yourself but knowing that you have others that believe in you just as much as you believe in yourself, and especially when maybe you have days that you don’t believe in yourself, that is truly special.

To all of you that have believed and me and still believe in me, thank you for helping me to succeed and to continue to chase my dreams. I wouldn’t be anywhere I am in my life today without you and I need you to know that I am aware of this. 

Dance

Everyday brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.

"You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,

Love like you'll never be hurt,

Sing like there's nobody listening.

and Live like it's heaven on earth"

William Purkey

legal attachment and chambering at KL?

I am sure most of you guys (who are not from KL) will be struggling to choose for a suitable firm for your legal attachment or chambering at KL!

First of all, it is important to know what is your interest in any specific area of law at the first place. There are three main limbs in the law practice namely corporate, litigation, and conveyancing. Of course there are different other specification such as Intellectual Property, Banking etc. I did some research before and make a list of law firms that you may want to go:-

Corporate

1. Skrine (BF)
2. Shearn Delamore & Co (BF) 
3. ZICOlaw (BF)
4. Kadir Andri and Partners (MBF)
5. Zul Rafique and; Partners (MBF)
6. Wong & Partners (MBF)
7. Albar & Partners (MF)
8. Adnan Sundra & Law (MF)
9. Rahmat Lim & Partners (MF)
10. Raslan Loong (MF)
11. Jeff Leong Poon & Wong (MF)
12. Cheang & Ariff (MF)

BF: big firm

MBF: medium big firm

MF: medium firm

What is corporate work all about? Based on my three months legal attachment experiences in a corporate firm. You will be most likely be assigned to do Due Diligence, opinion writing, drafting agreements, attend company AGM/EGM, scheme of arrangement course papers preparation, takeover and mergers agreements, prepare some due diligence planning memorandum, drafting the proposal based on the Bursa Listing Requirements and any other relevant policy and law. I love corporate so much because you are exposed to many new area that is totally unrelated to law. Say if we are preparing the documents of a theme park, you have to study the animals characteristics. You have to read about the astronomy, technology, hello kitty and everything else you can think off! :D

Litigation

1. Lee Hishammudin Allen Glendhill (BF)
2. Shook Lin and Bok (BF)
3. Shearn Delamore & Co (BF)
4. ZICO law (BF)
5. Skrine (BF)
6. Zul Rafique (MBF)
7. Kadir Andri and Partners (MBF) 
8. Malik Imtiaz Sarwar 
9. Thomas Phillip
10. Tommy Thomas 
11. Messers Wong Kian Kheong 
12. Karpal Singh and Co

I've never really experience the real litigation. But I saw my friends are doing research and transcribing. There are some review of Skrine and Lee Hisammudin  (LHAG) based on Elyse experience when she had a summer break from Cambridge. She spent 3 weeks in LHAG and Skrine. She did not have much legal knowledge at that time and doing some research or transcribing or reading case files.

Also, there are other concerns that might take into your considerations.

Transportation:

• If you are opting to take LRT instead of driving, then you may concern some firms that located nearby the LRT station such as Shearn, LHAG, Kadir Andir etc
• If you are driving, then you can go wherever you want!
• For the non-KL person, it is highly recommended to buy a GPS/Garmin/Papago to survive in KL. I still don't understand why can I sesat in KL with all the latest electronic gadgets ftw.

Accommodation

• Okay, I have not much advice on this because I was lucky to stay with my relatives throughout my attachment programme, remember to find some place with many many food! ;d

Money

• If you are going for attachment programme, normally big firms doesn't pay much or even zero pay. That's why I became so kiamsiap after my attachment!!
• If you are going for chambering, and if money is your concern-then you may concern Wong & Partners, Thomas Phillip, Rahmat Lim, KAAP etc (But I think you need not to concern too much since we are still learning)

Friends

• Medium big or big firms have normally more attachment and chambering students. And the after work lifestyle is really happening.
• But medium firms and small firms have another close relationship between each other like a family! It has less company politics i think?

Conclusion

The experiences are differs from person to person, the most important thing in your attachment and chambering programme is your own attitude and initiation. Also, pray hard to have a gooood master and mentor who are willing to teach you and guide you :)

Please refer to interview tips.

GOOD LUCK!

found.

"...Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not. The best of beauty is a finer charm than skill in surfaces, in outlines, or rules of art can ever teach, namely, a radiation from the work   of art of human character, — a wonderful expression through stone, or canvas, or musical sound, of the deepest and simplest attributes of our nature, and therefore most intelligible at last to those souls which have these attributes. In the sculptures of the Greeks, in the masonry of the Romans, and in the pictures of the Tuscan and Venetian masters, the highest charm is the universal language they speak. A confession of moral nature, of purity, love, and hope, breathes   from them all. That which we carry to them, the same we bring back more fairly illustrated in the memory…”
