将来的人生

Posted by Samantha Chai at 08:29:00

不知何时开始，我的生活重心只放在读书。不是说我厌倦读书，其实我很喜欢读书，我享受得到新知识和achievement的成就感。但是同时间，读书也让我做出了牺牲，那是睡眠上的牺牲。因为大学里不间断的考试与功课，加上自己对自己的要求，我不得不向睡眠做出牺牲。久而久之，我开始发觉，天天早上睡醒都好像是在为读书而忙。

没错，以我现在的能力，我就只能念书。这是我的职责，我不能埋怨。科系是自己选择，未来的路也是自己所能预测到的，我没能越过这道门栅。

现在，接近大学毕业的时候了。我不禁开始担心起自己往后的生活。据我所知，这门职业很据时间和精神，想要逃离工作岗位散个心都要细心斟酌。我在想，我接下来的人生里，会有足够的时间与能力去完成我的人生体验吗？

我想要到西藏去走一圈，是极想的那种。我要挑战自己身体的极限，看看自己能否敌过那里的高原反应。

我想要征服东马的mount kinabalu，挑战自己的体能。

我想要到纽西兰去玩高空跳伞，克服惧高的极限。

我想要到土耳其去喝咖啡，品尝原始的精华。

我想要到英国的Royal Albert Hall听一场Adele的演唱会，感受下现场的live orchestra,还有配上Adele干净利落，富有感情的好歌。当然要provided that Adele会再一次perform.

列了那么多的wishlist，能否达成实在是个未知数。所以，致我将来的生活，我会work hard,play hard.请不要辜负我的人生。

 

Holidays end

Three weeks holidays just passed too fast,I will back to Melaka again tomorrow.Haven't mentally nor physically well prepared to school reopen.Next semester will be the last two semester of my whole LLB programme. Kinda looking forward to finish my degree programme so that I can party like a animal,hehe...No la, actually I am more looking forward to my graduation day. Many thoughts flash through my mind such as where to go for my graduation trip, which legal firm to chamber with and etc...And now,I am quite dilemma still.

Just got my result yesterday.There's improvement but cgpa only raised a bit.A bit disappointed but overall I am satisfied with my result.Need to work more harder next semester although I know raising in gpa would not help much in raising my cgpa. Never mind, I will just try my best to strive higher.

Come on, let's work hard, play hard!

The 2011 me.Only silly, nerd and sampat can be drawn.Phew~

今天的主题是我已过了两个多月的生日。原谅我的不断拖延，由于科技的发达，我开始选择fb或instagram来post生活的琐事。久而久之，写部落格的欲望就削减不少。偶尔看看自己的部落格记录，发觉自己每一年都会写关于生日的post，所以我就趁着这段放假的日子来回味一下已过了两个多月的生日。当然还有借着这个平台让我一一感谢身边的人。

没错，2013年八月的第一个星期正是小女的22岁生日。如往年一样，身边的大学同窗总会为我庆生。大家相约穿得漂漂亮亮，然后到一间很舒服的餐馆吃一餐，唱生日歌，切蛋糕，递上生日礼物，拍照。Routine是没有什么变化，但是气氛还是愉悦的。朋友们，衷心谢谢你们的策划和对待。

与潘大少的庆祝晚餐也不是在生日当天，而是提早在Equatorial Hotel的Kampachi吃。话说我跟潘大少说我很想在生日的时候去那边吃自助餐，要他不必再绞尽脑汁去想带我去什么新地方吃啦！结果他就欺骗我说当时是开斋节，所以没有自助餐吃，害我还小失望了一下。原本以为自助餐是吃不成了，但是到了目的地后，他又说很想上厕所，建议我们进去Equatorial Hotel里面上厕所。就是这样，他成功把我骗到了。（当然我也是有顺便配合，脸上显得又惊又喜啦！）而且我们也已经计划好要在生日当天去爬山，去爬那座我吵了很久要去爬的Broga Hill.实在是想不到要在生日当天干些什么，反正来来去去不外乎就是吃饭逛街看电影，所以去爬山是个很好玩的活动。加上我又很喜欢热闹，所以能够与朋友们去做一些户外活动真的是非常赞啊！

潘大少

还有，我如愿以偿收到了一盒巧克力。

打开巧克力盒子的时候就是要“哇！”一下才开心。

food of the night.

谢谢潘大少，谢谢他的心思与包容

谢谢潘家对我的照顾与关爱，让我倍加觉得自己是幸运的。

生日当天，我起得特别早。因为我们要往Broga Hill出发去啦。清晨4点多就起床，然后5点就从马六甲出发去Semenyih.一路上大家都昏睡着，没什么精神。可怜潘大少还得精神奕奕地驾车。去Semenyih的路不容易走，我们就是依靠waze的指引，中途还需穿过一段弯弯的田园路，直到看到Nottingham University我们才放心些，知道Broga Hill就快到了。之前有上网做过一些research，知道爬山客的车是要泊在油棕园里的。我们到了油棕园后，天空还是一片漆黑。但还是见到有车子在那里停泊，心里不禁佩服起这些爬山客怎么那么勇敢，可以那么早就去爬啊！

油棕园里有一个员工负责跟我们征收泊车费。然后我们就下车准备开始爬山的旅程。一下车，身边的蚊子似乎见到了财神爷那样，一直围着我们团团飞。幸好我们已经准备了防蚊液，否则就会去喂蚊子啦！说回爬山的过程，其实比我想象中的苦难，我一直以为这座山很容易爬，以为有石阶，应该不是难度。事实上，山，很陡峭；路，太干，太多沙了，所以很滑。基本上，当我们要爬到山峰的时候，我们都是好像婴儿那样攀爬上去的。但是，爬到山峰的感觉是美好的。毕竟爬山就是为了要抵达山顶啊！

斜吧？

终于抵达山峰啦！

竟然让我们遇到新加坡明星-陈丽贞

在我的to-do-list里，其实我还想尝试多不同的户外活动。我想征服mount kinabalu,我还想到纽西兰去玩sky diving，我想去滑雪等等。希望我能够逐一达成啦！

生日，的确是个让我感恩的日子。感谢身边的亲友，感谢我的爱。因为他们，我的生命才那样精彩。谢谢=)

毕业？一年后再说

Posted by Samantha Chai at 15:28:00

这个星期正是MMU和UTAR的毕业典礼。看着FB里朋友们post的毕业照片，心里除了替他们感到高兴，同时也在期待着自己的这一天。

与朋友们的话题就是 “我们的robe是紫色的哦。。。这一次毕业是以FOL的身份毕业啦bla bla bla...其实，毕业典礼既是一个结束，它是一个象征着我们求学生涯的句点。然而，它也同时是一个开始，让我们踏入社会成为新鲜人。有些人选择继续升学，为自己加都点筹码以觅得一份好工，没继续升学的人也会开始工作，毕竟读了三四年的大学，无论如何都要学以致用吧！

我很羡慕朋友们参加毕业典礼时雀跃的样子，个个都顶上四方高帽，手里抱着亲友们送上的花束和礼物，父母亲更是会比喝喜酒还穿得漂亮，心里老来安慰地庆幸自己的孩子终于毕业啦！如此场景真是感人不已。

虽然我比起同龄的朋友还要多出一年才可以毕业，但是我已经在想象着当我穿上毕业礼服时的样子。我该穿长裤还是短裙呢？该蓄怎么样的发型来戴四方帽是最漂亮的呢？我要怎样很家人拍照呢等等等。。。一幕幕都在我脑海里酝酿着，冀望明年的我可以以最好的姿态来参加毕业典礼。

当然，幻想完毕业典礼后，我又开始幻想自己结束chambering正式成为律师的时刻啦！Erm...那毕竟还是要多大概一年半的时候吧！不过，现今最重要的还是先把书读好，幻想空间还是无比浩瀚，俺多的是时间慢慢去幻想。呵呵。。。

我要出人头地！

Back to campus

Posted by Samantha Chai at 17:57:00

Dear bloggie,

Hi,it has been a very long time I never keep in touch with you.Are you doing well?I know you are growing spider web or even mold. Once I wish I could keep a habit to update my blog often with the purpose to record down everything happened in my daily life.However, since when it became my weekly update,further far to monthly update and now to indefinite period update,forgive me that I couldn't count it.Therefore,I shall update something here.But the problem is,I am dilemma in structuring my blog.What should I write first?When should I start from?

Looking back my last post,it was the matter few months ago where I still doing my attachment.Now,I am back to campus again.Continuing my life as a final year law student.Student life is simple,fun and busy as usual.Somehow many of my friends also have a common feeling that final year life actually is like back to foundation time.We started to know each other again after 3 months of separation,sharing our working experience,looking some people have changed their hairstyles and etc.Just don't know why,everything we've done such as wandering around Jusco,DP and MP after class,yamcha in somewhere to wait for the next class and playing sports together are all the routines when we were still young.By the way,we are not young anymore.It can be seen when you could see there are so many new faces in Mori Cafe.All of them are young,energetic and cute.

Final year subjects are not easy,still tough...Even though i heard many rumors said that final year is easy,all can be learnt in attachment and bla bla bla...But what I've found in the end is...who said final year is easy?We still have to study like a dog,doing endless tutorials every week,and attending some boring lectures such as Jurisprudence,holding super thick Professional Practice notes.And the nightmare is...have to wear black&white formal plus heels to walk around during the sunny days.I can die you know??

Okay,mumble enough.I still hang out every week despite of studies,enjoying my life as usual.The recent leisure place is none other than Starbucks.Nothing special,just because of the environment is too suitable for chit-chatting.

Now,let's the pictures do the rest.

catch up with besties right after backed to melaka.

our last law seminar.

welcomed by haze as my returning gift.So,mask is a must to wear when everyone are going out.

Zizihan's birthday.

Then comes to August,my turn to become 22.

Our Candy crush time-Jurisprudence lecture.

pak to.

Jia Min's visit.The girl I miss a lot when she's not around.

Still,Jurisprudence lecture is boring.

I know I keep on repeating that Jurisprudence lecture is boring.But..this is the fact.I never tell lie.Who ask the Prof. requires everyone of us to do that bloody peer assessment??It is really troublesome and bored@#$%And I have nothing else to express how unwilling for me to do this thing.

And lastly,Please...for those who have seen this post,please don't spread it to the Prof.I don't wish to fail his subject.Thank you very much.

Small kid finished legal attachment

Posted by Samantha Chai at 16:47:00

Well,currently I am having my semester break after three months of working.Actually it cant be said as 'working'.The formal word given by our Uni is 'legal attachment'.However, due to the common practice that most of the legal firm would pay some allowance to attachee, so here comes the description as working.For me,I got zero allowance from my legal firm.What I got from this firm is just a Lexis Nexis legal planner from the librarian,but still better than nothing la hehe.She just passed me the 'souvenir' in a very sudden way,till I just accepted it and said thank you in a very weird tone,freaking weird I think.By the way, as I said before, the giving of allowance is actually meant nothing for me,the utmost importance should be the entire process of it.

somehow,I miss the time of doing opinion writing.

MKCJ office which looks like a clinic.

So basically,this post will be talking about bits and bites of my legal attachment. But still,I am facing dilemma on how to start to write. What and how should I write?It is just like how dilemma am I on doing my final report.K la,I'll just vomit out what's popping out from my mind though...Life in Maxwell Kenion Cowdy & Jones (MKCJ) actually was fun. Working in a big firm really needs courage to take initiative.It is because there is no one will guide and teach you what to do in the firm.From the first day I stepped into the partner's office, he just told me that he will not guide me.That means I have to find thing to do in my own way.As a result, I just ended up my first day in the firm to read books in the firm's library.The time spent with books like pretending to be a bookworm was ended after my external supervisor-Mr.James Ong came and picked Suit Yee and me to be his personal assistant.Our first job was to do some research on his cases.So,my three months time was more on litigation job and I am totally dumb in conveyancing job.

Litigation job is none other than doing pleading,affidavit,research,various of examinations.As a student,as my knowledge in procedure area is limited,I can't help much in that.Besides that,I was adapted myself in some administrative work such as drafting letter,but I think almost every single letter I drafted have been amended by the lawyer.Photocopy documents where I think I have wasted the firm's paper like my dad is the paper's supplier.Sometimes,I will feel that I was such a stupid as I was so clumsy in photocopy/printing documents.Just too many mistakes such as pressed the setting of the machine wrongly,printed the documents from the wrong tray and etc bla bla...Attending court can be considered as my usual work,I will go to court at least twice in a week.The reason why can we attending court so frequent was because the distance between the court and our firm is just stone throw away.Sometimes for filing of documents,hearing,making payment,getting documents from particular officer and passing documents.Almost 80% of those attending court's work are actually dispatch work.However,as a student,I just have to learn every single little work including dealing with court officer.Dealing with them is definitely not an easy one.You have to recognize the various faces of them and understand their role.I used to wait at the wrong kiosk and wasted my time.Of course,they used to 'show face' to me where I still have to talk to them softly provided with smiling face.What can I say?That's life of a lawyer and I think no one can escape from this stage.

Let's talk about the people I met in this firm.I was so lucky that I met a number of MMU seniors at here.Just feel so surprise that there are MMU students everywhere.We used to spend time in the library to gossip,fool around as well as 'curi tulang'.Haha...

My colleagues.Left out the most diligent one- Ong Ki.

Our supervisor,James Ong who likes to gelar sy and me as 'kids'.

Making retarded act with our supervisor.

Ashvin/MMU senior/crazy woman

Too bad I couldn't take photo with all of them personally.By the way,I believe that we will still meet up one day.

Now,it is not the time for me to miss this and that,nor dedicate whatever.I have to chase my time in order to complete my final report.Why la need to do final report?I still want to lepak-lepak=(

抽烟是犹豫

Posted by Samantha Chai at 13:30:00

最近一直在家里看着电视里重播的旧戏。这些戏都是属于爸爸的年代的。他一直说：“以前啊，我们去戏院看这套戏的啊！这套戏在那个年代几红啊！林青霞几美啊！”

是啊！我在说着林青霞的黄金年代。无可否认，那个时候林青霞所演的琼瑶系列的确红极一时，也迷倒了当时的男男女女青少年。只是我不太明白，为何当年气质非凡的林青霞怎么会到香港去演了“东方不败”这个角色，把她清新脱俗的形象颠倒去一个不男不女的形象。老实说，若非这几个星期在家里陪老爸老妈看林青霞的旧戏，我对她的印象的确只停留在“东方不败”。

好了，林青霞并不是今天我要说的重点。看了几套琼瑶系列，我察觉戏里的男主角都会有抽烟的这一幕。难道那个年代总是要让男主角抽烟吗？

所以，我得到了一个结论--抽烟是犹豫。 

且看以下这张秦祥林抽烟的剧照。他抽烟时总是要眉头深锁，一副深不可测的样子。

若拿那时候的戏跟现在相比，现今的偶像剧总是把男主角塑造成极为完美的形象，高富帅还不用紧，不抽烟，文质彬彬，而且对女主角又非常浪漫。且看我中学时期非常迷的韩剧人物，他简直就是完美。

不同的年代就是有不同的角色演变。从前的男主角就是很粗犷，大男人，对女主角又不体贴。只要他看上了女主角，他们俩就会一见钟情。很快的，男主角就会约女主角到郊外草原表白。哪像现在的电视剧，男主角要表白还必须经过追求，动人的对白，还有非常浪漫的求爱场景。必要时还必须学音乐来取悦女主角。

爸爸妈妈一向来都有高血压的问题，从四十多岁开始便跟着医院的指示吃着药来控制，吃了十多年都没什么问题，血压总算受到控制。但是最近却会出现一些变化，譬如说：回医院检查血压时都会有血压偏高的问题，结果院方也很贴心地会要求病人每隔两天会每天都要回医院再测量。

妈妈曾经试过出现这种问题，后来婆婆也有。虽然过程麻烦，但是为了健康着想也必须就范。现在就连爸爸也出现这种问题了。比起妈妈，爸爸显得比较担心，他以为自己做工劳累所以血压高，后来休息了几天再测量也是一样，所以他便到药房去买不同的保健品来试试。饮食方面也开始调理一下，减少了吃肉，也不太敢喝咖啡。喝的反而吃苦瓜茶，结果妈妈还取笑他说平时不太爱苦瓜的爸爸竟然喝起苦瓜茶了。

身为子女，父母的健康亮起红灯了。这是不是在提醒着我们父母已在渐渐老去了？我好怕，越想越怕。父母一生劳碌，还没享过子女给他们的福，怎么身体那么快就出问题了？如果说父母与孩子的关系是一个循环，当我们小的时候，父母照顾我们，那当我们长大了，父母老去了，我们就肩负起照顾他们的责任了。在很清楚了解这样的一个说法后，我会很自私地希望这个循环不要发生，因为我真的很不想看到父母生病的样子。

我希望，他们两老可以在我有了稳重的经济能力后，依然健康。那么，我就可以带他们游山玩水，尽子女该做的本分。但是，岁月偏偏无情，人的身体也不是都时常那么听话，他们还是有病，还是需要过着服药的日子。亲爱的老天，请您一定要保佑我家两老，让他们的身体健康，让他们一直有精力继续照顾我这个依旧长不大的孩子吧！

所以，这一年，我拜神时又诚心地许多了一个愿望了！

实习生活第六周

Posted by Samantha Chai at 21:52:00

实习生活来到第六周了。时间可真是飞逝，十二个星期的实习竟然已来到第六个星期了！爸爸还是会每个星期都说一样的话，“哇！艳柔，又过了第五个星期了hor...”哈哈。。。爸爸你还真可爱，还会教我“艳柔，不要跟你的firm讨工钱，如果他没有给就算了！”他果然是个吃了亏也不觉得一回事的人。

当OL的日子还是一样，天天早上如常上班，早上待在办公室里的日子特难过，所以我都很期待往外跑，无论是去听hearing还是filing,我都很乐意去跟。不过，等filing的时间也是很难过，实在是搞不懂这些department officer怎样工作啦！午餐时间过后才是我喜欢待在办公室的时候，就是觉得吃饱后待在冷气房比较舒服啦，呵呵！

TGIF果然说得很透彻，上班的日子就是在等待星期五的来临，但是我特讨厌下班后回家的那段时间，因为交通不是很行，好塞车呀！如果碰到下雨的时候就更糟糕了，看着那车龙停在那边不会动，实在是太让人受不了。

在这里park车最大的问题不是一天RM4的parking钱，而是那群该死的鸽子太厉害排泄了！Office前的大操场是鸽子的流连场所，虽然广场外有鸽子的衬托好像是诗意，因为这样的情境总会让我联想起罗马广场，但是它们的大便实在是太委屈我的车了。可怜我的英雄，天天要饱受皮肉之臭。情况太糟糕的时候，我唯有send to car wash，这样更省时方便，又不需要我去擦大便。

还有我那很vintage的办公室，在这里工作的自由性很高，我所指的自由性是发言自由性。因为library都只有我们几个attachment and chambering students在用，所以我们总是高谈阔论得很畅快！

雪仪小姐看了不要打我！

当然不忘了在这里重新认识怡保。突然发觉这里的建筑物还是保留得很不错，至少我们office附近几间银行的建筑物还是满古色古香的。

 

还有一些miscellaneous...

your voice counts!

This is how I spent part of my sister's book voucher.

my belated valentines gift,it is a bit feminine though...

潘大少，你好嘢！

当我拆开了礼物，真的是无言到一种无可救药的地步呀！这就是：When your boyfriend is a lawyer@@
