Being an attorney

I am not here to talk about exams, not that they are not important, yes it is crucial that I get those grades that I needed, but focusing on my exams does not mean that I can’t take some time of thinking about other stuff as well. If you know me well enough, then you ought to know that my mind never stays put in one place, my body does not seem to coordinate very well with my head, and that is a true story. If you find me waving my hands to you standing right in front of me, but my head is looking to my side, which is just normal for someone like me.

I was watching this movie Lincoln Lawyer last night and it got me thinking, can I be a lawyer?

I have no such interest not in the past nor even now, is it just another crazy idea of mine. I just thought that maybe I can become a lawyer, but all I need is to brush up on my communication skills so that I can become even more convincing with my arguments as well as get that seriousness that I seem to lack. I can be serious if I want to. I did try to be serious sometimes, especially when the occasion calls me to, unfortunately it is not fun being serious. My friend told me that I am only serious when I am mad. Well that surely isn’t a fun time for me.



One thing I do know about the judicial world is that, no one will ever say that they are guilty, not even when the evidences are all pointing straight at you, you won’t go down without a fight. Well perhaps that is just human nature, never to back down without a fight. Besides, if you have the guts to commit the crime in the first place, why not have the courage to keep yourself out of prison as long as you possibly can, right? Here is when the integrity of the lawyer is a challenged. Does a lawyer do his job at his best to let his client win by all means, even when he knows that his client might be the real culprit, or do you always ensure that you are fighting for the right side, upholding the truth at all times.

The way I see it, lawyers are defenders, people who fight alongside people who deemed worthy. In today’s scenario they are coming very handy especially when the fine line between truth and deceit is getting harder and harder to differentiate. Then again, in the end what we all fight for what we think is right from our eyes and beliefs, in the end nothing is ever right or wrong.

I leave the rest to you…….

I have an idea, lets make a video project!

Last week, days before I sat for my first paper, I had this crazy idea for a video.  Given that this is the third and final year for my friends and me, I figured why not film a video about it. In the video, the host could ask them questions like: what is your best experience here so far?  how do you feel about finishing your studies soon?  will you miss being a university student? having studied overseas for the past three years, what are your words of advice to students back home?  then somewhere in there, if possible, we could even make some sort of a shout out to our sponsors! Thank you this/ that for making our dreams come true or something like that.  Alright, maybe the questions sound a bit cliche, but I am hoping that the participants would give out interesting responses to them. I had a vision of filming them in various location, just so that they will be more relaxed as the camera is rolling. In fact, the more chilled I can get them to be, I hope to get a more h

As I said yesterday, I had my oral exam earlier today. Please don't even bother asking me how it went. As always, things didn't go as I had planned it to. I mean, of all things, I didn't expect myself to stumble upon plural conjugations as well as the basic command words such as 'what' and 'how'. Lucky for me it went by pretty quickly that it ended before I even realized it. Well at least I got hold of a decent conversation with Luay Hasan, the other Arabic lecturer before my exam started since I got there earlier than expected. The rest of my afternoon was spent on biting away my Subway while watching a new episode of The Apprentice UK followed by another show about the preparation Venice undergo through last year when the Pope came to visit, then just before the sun sets for the day I managed to finish one more documentary about Britain's monarchy, highlighting the era of its Queens. As the night falls, I realized that I had not only wasted my time w

1st post from London

So here I am in London UK. My last farewell in KLIA didn't turned out as I hoped it to be. It is kind of sad when I thought back about it during my 12 hour plus flight that day. One of the most unforgettable moment while on the flight was when the plane was about to take off. I stared out the window together with Ashraf and Amin until the plane was no longer touching Malaysian soil. To be totally honest, that was the saddest moment. I felt like going up to the pilot and make him turn the plane around. It sure felt like a dream. When my dad woke me up at 4 that day, I was still very sleepy and blurred. Then as I got into the shower, it suddenly occurred to me that today is the D-Day, the big day when I leave this place I call home for London. 12 hours plus in the plane was indeed very tiring! Sure the movies they had in the flight entertainment were nice., but you do get tired of it after the first or second movies. The in-flight music on the other hand was even worse, I did
