Almost forgotten blog

People, I am plainly too lazy to update the blog.

Check out facebook, it literally spell out my life there.

Maybe, occasionally, I'll drop by to say something here, chances are, very minimal though.

A lovely Saturday

There are two events that are planned on the day, though we started the day a bit off by me pointing the wrong place to Timothy.

I thought both the CAMBRIDGE vs OXFORD Student Debate 2009 and KPUM-TUC's Law School Law Career Convention 2009- Careers Fair for Lawyers are at the same place. Taylor's college. Purely my fault. I merely skimmed through the email. The former was at Sunway while the latter was in Taylor's.

Long story short, there are a number of people from BAC went, those that I nampak la.

Chan, Adrian Yeow, Timothy, and me.

Hmm?

How was the debate?

It was mediocre if you asked me, but given the fact that they have so little time to prepare and the positions was placed 30 mins before the debate. I think their performance are fair.

The motion was, this house thinks that youth should stay in Malaysia.

Cambridge was government and Oxford, the opposition.

I personally have no preference over the unis, I simply like the idea of us, the youth, the people trying to make a

change for the people.

I think that we Malaysian should think of us as a group of sailors on the same ship, the reward is at the end of the day where we reached a certain shore. All of us in the ship has a responsibility and moral obligation to maintain the ship at its fittest, the reason being, if we don't, we sink together with the ship. Take Black Pearl in Pirates of The Caribbean, with a good leader that chooses to live and die with his ship and a whole bunch of sailors being the backbone of the ship, they are no doubt a organized ship despite their intentions.

Similarly, if pirates can understand this simple concept as together, we are a nation/family.

Why can't we Malaysian, think more like them?

Or, specifically, why don't the leaders of our country think a bit more like them?

There are too many personal agendas in the local political scene that is seriously wearing off the people's confidence in them. They are more concerned of themselves, aka self-centered than what they claimed themselves to be, working for the rakyat.

In my humble opinion, I think Malaysia operates more like a fishing ship rather than a military vessel or a submarine for instance. The latter 2 examples are where the people in the ship co-operate with each other to complete their major task, while the fishing vessel is like having fishmongers each trying to out win each other on an auction for the fishes and trying to get all the profits for themselves. They are not those focused ships like where there is an absolute clear destination. They are a bit like scraping around, seeing what's there to do type ship, I would say.

Enough of the long winding grandmother. grandfather story.

Back to the debate, the comments from the crowd are not entirely positive, maybe because oxbridge students have a certain gold ring above their head when we see them in the crowd that makes them shine. People tend to expect a little bit extra from them.

The winner was Cambridge and best speaker goes to William Chan, from Cambridge as well.

Congratz, guys!

The best part is, I saw Eilyn Chong and Justin Liew there.

O...and there is one very cute guy from Oxford, guys, it's not a crush.

It's just like the time where I saw an Indian uncle i the KTM train and I can't stop staring at him despite his bulging tummy and disheveled look. That uncle was in his early 40s and still very good looking. At the very least, that was the 1st time where I seriously felt the phrase," can't take my eyes off you". He was oozing sexuality and masculinity.

So, similarly, we are attracted to good looking stuff, just the way I like my MAC cosmetics nicely arranged on my bedside table and those brushes standing along with it. These are the few of my favorite things. * Sound of Music*

Moving on, we went to Taylor's for the law career convention.

I've never got a chance to actually walk into the hall and see what those booths are caused when we first arrived, we were immediately ushered to this talk,"When the CLP gets Tough" -Only the Tough gets the CLP by Mariette Peters-Goh, Zul Rafique & company.

She actually made my impression towards CLP changed.

Her main point was, all the bars in the world are tough, if you work your ass hard enough, what are the chances that you don't make the cut?

True enough, I believe in that too.

In addition to that, she busted a few myth as well.

There is no such thing bout the quota system.

It's just that being students we are occasionally lazy and unfocus, and this is when things goes terribly wrong.

CLP is definitely not a stage where we loose our focus. It is THE most important if you are doing it.

So, people, good luck in staying focus. Think of the bigger picture. Your future.

The second talk was about "What is the real life of a litigator?"conducted by Lau Mark Chi-Ming, a practicing litigator from sreenevasanyoung. It is more of a video watching sessions where we watched several clips of what the hollywood thinks of litigators' life and the video which is nearer to reality, as projected in Rumpole of the Bailey.

From Mark's experience, there are several things he said a litigator should possess, virtues such as passion, patient, hardworking, and most importantly, never stop learning.

What intrigued me the most of the job as a litigator is the last part, never stop learning.

I really liked the concept where you learn a bit on this matter today, and the other the next.

It's the same thing like how I like to read little facts such as blue eyes are mutated gens, WHR and sex ratio and many of those stuffs.

The difference is that if you are doing a case, the research need to be more in depth and you make good use of it and state your case using those knowledge, and it is definitely bulkier than a 1 piece article I normally read.

We'll see what I like in the future and see how things work out then.

For now, I'm gonna focus on my degree and think about the others later.

I've came to realized that I've not exploit myself at all for the past 20 years and I've always lived my life in the cukup makan manner. I believed that if I actually do make an effort in things, I can do a lot better than what I've achieved. It's all the laziness in me to blame. Maybe, I should really try just a bit harder next year.

p.s. extremely thankful to Timothy for his kindness to give me a ride when my bro took my ride.

Anxiety Attack

The more I read about law firms and those law blogs, the more butterflies I have in my stomach.

The idea of reading these blogs and articles struck me after my friend told me that MMU was exempted from doing CLP.

Somehow, one link leading to another, now I know a bit more bout stuff, though I can't really specifically said what are the stuff I know.

They gave me anxiety attack, if my intentions were to stay in Malaysia and take CLP.

Just let skip the part of whether will I pass or not, assuming I do, and I am an average student with a 2:1 or 2:2 maybe.

What are the chances that I am going to get my training position at a good firm when there are so many other smarter kids around? With their flawless CV and everything.

That's shit number 1.

Shit number 2 is, in the event that I don't get a decent firm to start off, where will this lead me?

Will I got swallow up by the market and spit out again, looking all so disgusted and disappointed in life and everything?

Shit number 3 is that I discovered that it is a fact that law school has one of the highest dropout rate in the world, presumably law school is tough and sworn by some that it is something they will never want to look back.

Is it me only or what that I am taking it pretty easy though I am in law school?

Can I really make it through the end?

I felt dump, useless and vomity due the low level of knowledge I possessed.

Am I really prepared for the real world?

Sex ratio

I've always thought that women outnumbered men cause I heard it from someone that the ratio was 3:7.

Apparently, there are several types of sex ratio that researchers take into consideration.

Primary, secondary and tertiary.

Though I really just can't seem to see the reality and logic behind the answers that those researchers gave, but no doubt it is the truth, I guess.

There are more men than women today.

The ratio differs in different countries.

Asian and Middle East countries male outnumbered the female due to infanticide and sex-selective abortion.

In the other hand, European countries female outnumbered male, except Turkey.

Conclusion is the world ratio of male to female is 1.01.

My question is, if there are more male than female in the world, why are there more single ladies than single guys?

If you don't care things at all, you got jaded.

Bt.

If you care too much, you get over-burn.

Is it better to care or not to care?

I am so used to not caring, how could I learn to care now when I know that caring leads to heartache?

I doubt there is anyone blind enough to walk through brick wall.

Some funny shit

I think the top 1 is mind blowing...extremely hilarious.

A trip where I got poked the most time- MSSCF Freshers' Camp in Pangkor

I had fun, no doubt.

In December 2006, I went to Pangkor for the first time in my life.

In August 2009, I am in Pangkor again.

Pangkor is still the same, what is different now is the person I had then become since 2006 and the company I had for the trip to the island.

The one in 2006 was sort of a goodbye party because all of us are going to a different path in life.

This time around, it is kinda a beginning of a story, we are all united because we shared the same path in life, at the very least, we are going to walk the same ground.

Everything is nice and lovely at the camp.

The best part of this adventure is that I am injured by sea-urchin.

I got about 12 holes on my right feet.

Went to the doctor and he said there are some had started infection.

He did a minor surgery on me to take out those thorns, sadly, it is not that easy, some love my foot too much that they refused to come out despite the doc's effort to pull it out.

I took a total of 6 jabs today, including a meningitis C and countless of needle like knife poking into my wound to take out those thorns.

What they said about the camp is so true, it is unlikely I am going to forget the camp.

At the very least, not anytime soon.

When does a girl got a chance to be attack by sea-urchin?

top-after sea-urchin attack, bottom- after countless needles' poked.

The favorite questions amongst people around me these days are,

Are you excited to go to the UK?

The answer is, I don't think I am all that excited actually.

Nor that I feel scared or insecure, to me, it's just another path in life which I choose to travel since Jan 2008. So, there is not much of a surprise that I am leaving the place I am so familiar with next month. I knew this would be it since last Jan.

I am, however, more anxious about what I should do after the degree instead of what am I going to do during the degree.

There are so many options that will make me go bizarre.

I am officially getting crazy.

HCMC

I went to HCMC, Vietnam on last Monday, 27 July for a 4 days 3 nights family vacation.

Overall, it was fun.

Bt I bet I'll have more fun if I went with my friends, cause my uncle is like a bullet train that stops for nothing but food.

So, Shih Ying, Shee Ling, Jasmine and Sarah, please save up enough so we can go travel together again in the future.

Food is not my biggest agenda at anytime.

I like my trip to be packed with cultural and historical places aka lots of pictures taking and also shopping.

I rather save the money on food to shop or maybe go for another trip.

Pictures are posted in Facebook, go check them out.

My impression on Vietnam is overally good.

Better than Phuket Island, Thailand if you asked me.

I rather go to Vietnam again than Phuket.

Vietnam is so clean, way cleaner than Malaysia.

Though there are lots of motorcycles, I bet in 20 years time, they'll beat Malaysia for sure if we kept on continue with all our political agendas and the leaders are not really working for the country.

They are all working for fame, fortune and themselves, they seem to forgot that their main mission is working for the country, for the people, despite what their favorite lines are.

WHR

Rupa-rupanya, the old sayings of people is true.

Large buttocks or hips is really a better wife, or at least a better reproduction machine.

*Hou sang yong*

The last part of the page, headed "Intelligence" suggested that mother with lower WHR produce smarter kid.
