off late but still thinking

the clock now shows 2.48am and i'm still in front of my loyal laptop.my sister went to bed early because of her cold.this is the third day and she didn't attend school.poor her..wish you get well soon sys :) hadzwan went to bed ( i guess, because he didn't reply my last message) after a long and exhausting night of doing his electronic machines tutorial.as much keen i am towards math-related stuff (compared to having to jump off a 50 storey high building), i wish you good luck in becoming an engineer.

so yeah, here i am..browsing thru facebook, checking on my friends, checking on blogs, watched youtube a bit ( i really need to lay off mj cuz he needs to rest in peace), checking on blogshops (i can't get enough of them though!), i wish i had something to do.now i started to think that maybe going home without my study books is not a great idea.i'm starting to dread thinking i have to burn the midnight oil on Sunday nite to finish off my family law tutorial, not to mention cases i have yet to read...

...okay, i don't want to think anything right now.i need to have my rest.i need to go to sleep.thats what this one week mid term break is for, cuz i have to really pay for all the times i work my butt out in UM ( i really do).but the thing is, it is kind of hard for me to get the idea of rest across my body as i was earlier occupied with so many things for the past one month.luckily, they are the things that i love.i miss Mock already, but i don't want to think about it much though. i still have VOX magazine(the law faculty's offical magazine; i'm in the Marketing team again and got to start calling up the firms) to run and theCommunity Awareness Week (i'm head bureau of Publicity, with a bunch of crazy friends whose going to work with me).CAW should be fun.i'm looking foward to it cuz last year event was a blast that i nearly miss out on my class.

hmm.that's that then.tonight, what actually happened was i had this talk with Abah and he asked how UM's convo went on.he asked whether my seniors have all graduated and whether they found work.three of my closest seniors have become DPP now (Deputy Public Prosecutor, they handle criminal cases and prosecute the accused in criminal cases).the others went to work in law firms.my talk with Abah got me thinking of what i want to be once i graduated from law school.i'm in my second year of studying now and the thing is, i haven't had a clue as to what i would like to do next.it's not like i didn't like the course, it's more like having too many choices to choose from and i don't know where to begin.if it was up to me, i want to try everything on the plate-complete my chambering course of 9months, practice in court (preferably as a Magistrate, i don;t mind people saying thats a soft option), and work in a law firm while doing some tutoring job in law school. Abah wants me to do my Masters oversea but i'm more compel with the idea of working as soon as i can.

of course, it all depends on my results.and coming from UM law school, there's not much one can expect.i try (i tell myself this constantly) to maintain a 3.0 cgpa.one of my senior got a scholarship to study Masters in Human Rights overseas and he is the first Malaysian to ever received one.Abah was thrilled to hear this and ask me to keep close contact with JPA so that i can obtain a scholarship too.i really want to try though, but again, it all depends on my result, which brings me back to the ground of studying hard and focusing.whats hard about me taking up the course is that i can get really stressed up.i have to stay calm and relax in order to read cases or books.i can't joke around when i'm revising my studies because i have to read every single thing.there's no formula to it except sit down quietly and read.


one of my senior told me her experience of doing an attachment in the Attorney General's Chamber.what excites me most is that the post requires you to have a really good academic result and that there is just a few number of UM students there.the payment is not so lucrative though, but i see it as prestigious because not all can enter the AG's Chamber.it'll be interesting if i do.


then there's my love in plays and theatre.i wish to enroll in a drama class next semester if they offer such classes.i want to do something that i like, that i don't need to stress much about, one thing that i can just go and get it done.what better than acting.it's the only sanctuary i know i can run to from heavy books and tiny words.i have a friend whose ambition is to not further his legal career but working in the thing he loves (guess what, he wants to become a radio announcer).well, people do crazy stuffs right?


so, that's literally what i'm thinking about in the middle of the night.my future as a lawyer.i don't know how i'm going to embark them, whether with dashingly entrance or sraping down the ladder one by one.i'll just make sure i make my foot marked.and pray that whatever i do,my loving family and friends will support me and God will make my path easier.


p/s:congrats to my seniors who have just graduated.dahsyat siot dah grad!
