Betul kata orang…

Friday, September 14th, 2007

…kalau dah terlepas cakap,
there’s nothing you can do to make it right again. I’ve had it. After
much diliberating of what had happened, things are much clearer as to
seniority plays a much important role in the life that person.

as ahli fikir had rapped in their latest "2 X 5" song… "…jangan cakap lepas, biar pandai beralas. Ada ubi ada batas… ada hari kami balas!"

Don’t
think that my silence means I will not react towards what you have said
towards me and my family. I will remember that you had said "you, naik kepala" sentence… and also, "I see it as your parents bully you"… more often than not, they chose to take care of me because they know how serious my condition is.

You
have said words which you cannot take back, whereas I have kept my
silence. In my silence I will react… and you will see. I have taken a
position that even you will be surprised. You say I don’t know you…
you have not known to what extend I can do something. And if you think
I am scared with your drama talk… I am not.

Cakap lepas.
That’s what you did. And I am not ready to make nice… but I will
"act" nice. The upcoming three weeks I shall do what is required of me.
But after that… I will leave it to fate. If fate allows what is in my
head… I will do it as much.

You will not know what hit you.
Did you not notice that by hurting me, you loose money… now you have
to pay for some payment and some hurtful words were said to you… and
I am not surprised.

This will mark your demise. Once bitten,
twice shy… once shame on you, twice shame on me… I will do what I
wanted to do in the first instance.

Cakap lepas!
That’s something you shouldn’t have said… talk about
childish/unpro… hey, cermin diri tu. If you’re so overly qualified to
read people’s reaction… you yourself should not sit around and wait
for something to burst!

Ouhh… and that idiot boleh cakap to me, after my long talk with boss, "Sorry la Sarah… I cuma cakap pasal letter aje".
Kepala hangguk kau! If it’s only about the letter, why was he asking
about the file? I know what YOU are doing. You are trying to twist
everything back to my boss being wrong.

So… tell me this. If you are saying my boss is wrong, and my boss is saying that you are wrong… so siapa yang salah ni? Me??

Ok…
that’s the conclusion. I just hope the days past by as quickly as
possible. I nak get the hell away from this drama. Lagi teruk dari
office drama. Actually… this is a hindi movie conjoured by her.

Betul kata orang… jangan cakap lepas, biar pandai beralas… ada ubi ada batas, ada hari kami balas! Dan hari pembalasan itu akan tiba. Soon. Insya-Allah… soon

A fairly interesting ATC

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

Today marks the first day of Young Lawyers Committee ("YLC")
interraction with the law students all over our beautiful country,
Malaysia. The whole batch of us, which consists of the KLYLC Chair -
Dipendra, KL BAR Pupils’ Welfare - Mr. Richard Wee Thiam Seng, External
Liason head - Chee Hoe, Chooi Peng, Sandesh Kabir Singh, Allan and
myself, had given our time back to the community by heading a "meeting"
with all potential lawyers of KEMAYAN ATC, KL.

The
programme started fairly late, as the organizers had state that the
students were not used to waking up early for anything. A point to note
to lawyers-to-be there. Dipendra had head off the opening speech which
had then followed by Richard. Both lawyers who had fair deal of how the
system looks like in the outside world was there to guide the potential
lawyers to expect the unexpected.

At
about 11am, the students were broken up into groups of five. They were
then placed in all "conference" rooms located in the 3rd Floor. We
chose our rooms… but fortunately (or otherwise) my room was shared
with two other lawyers… Kabir and Richard. Being the senior, Richard
had done most of the talking. Introducing himself, the bar.. the
organization.. what to expect in a chambering/pupilage life.. legal
aid.. the general scope of work he does in his firm.

To
some extend, Richard had made a "role-play" of how a typical case would
look like. The procedure and the amount of work that is required of ONE
single file. He reminded the students that there’s a fairly amount of
files to be handled by one person. Hence, a balancing act is required.

All
in all, it was a rather good day for me. A morning well spent with the
lawyers, organizers and students of ATC. I was mainly introduced as a
pupil who is ending her pupilage real soon AND also quite involved with
AWAM. That made me happy. Giving back to society is good.

I
find that MORE of these type of awareness is needed in making sure that
the new batch of lawyers will feel comfortable in dealing with the
people from Malaysian Bar or KL Bar… or even me.

There was a question that goes like this… " Have you ever had to handle a client who lied and how did you handle these clients?" To my answer… "I’ve
not yet handled a client who lied in telling me what had happened…
but i have handled clients who in actual reality thinks they know the
law way better than I do and INSISTS that they are right" (Richard, in the background- I wonder who you’re talking about, with a snigger)

Interesting
people were met. I find that people ARE interested to contribute in
Legal Aid… the only thing that’s stopping them is the amount of time
and money they have to sacrifice. But trust me… once you know you’ve
made a difference in someone’s life, all the time sacrificed and the
money not earned out of the file is worth it. And karma will get back
to you… you will get back what you deserved… good or bad.

Yes,
this would’ve been my report on ATC… but then again… I’m not doing
the report. Kabir is. Hihihi… (Kabir - you are allowed to copy paste
and edit this blog for report purposes, if needed be… *winks*)
