3 Months in Shearn Delamore

Three months is short and I would say this is the most productive three months I ever had. Every seniors, lecturers and friends had been telling me way before I started my legal attachment tha things is going to be tough. How wrong they had been and from my experience, I daresay they are very inaccurate. The only word I can think of if you ask me to describe my time in Shearn, is fun. The picture above is from the KL Bar dinner.

On the left is Wei Lee. Charismatic and knows how to take care of a little brother. If I have to describe how an elder sister should be, I would point at her

In this photo its Kenneth, myself and Kelvin. Kenneth is your typical nut and drinker. But also someone who is fun, understanding, friendly and a nice friend to hang out with

Richard, the really who did all he can to make us feel welcome. Tell us about the firm, the situation of each floor, the good food, and all we need to avoid in the firm

Wai Leong, the quiet and soft spoken Man Uth fan whom I really enjoyed his company. Yamuna, also a Man U fan but she drinks and party, hence, she's cool and Lee Lin, quiet and would alsways pop up some food to share

Alan, who sang me a list of love songs as my farewell and Cheng Cheng, who is a natural born DJ alongside Kenneth

Su Ling. Smart, kid and a hard core gamer

My boss Miss Ameet on the left, who gave lots of invaluable guidance and tolerance and Michelle who brought to our first courtroom experience

Miss Irene (centre) thte HR manager who opened the door and welcome me to Shearn. Jeremy, my MMU senior who is mostly all business and cold but had a really warm heart and always watch out of the junior's back

Sharul and another nut who dance during Christmas celebration

This is the end of three months which I have gain so much experience, fun and enjoyment

I'm really touched to receive this card. Every member of the chambering pan sign it and wrote a note. I really appreciate all the things which you all had done for us. Sadly I don't have the pictures of all of you. Sharon, Nick, Choon Keet, Kak Hada, Queen and all:( Will really miss each and everyone of you

Our farewell dinner. Everyone is busy but it is a really a memorable and priceless moment as everyone left their job and came to have our dinner with us. I say "this could be It". The next day we had our New year's eve dinner and I thought "this is It" but we met again yesterday, where I know, "this is really It"

I'm leaving. We're leaving. No amount of thank you is enough. You all are a bunch of fantastic people to know, to hang out, to talk and to work with. Everyone, I'm glad to know you all. Thanks for everything you all had done for us. I daresay none our classmates enjoyed their attachment as much or had so much wonderful memory and tale to tell. None of them is as lucky as we are. We feel really welcome in Shearn Delamore & Co (:

Lastly, I wish everyone goodluck in all your future daunting undertakings and stay happy and healthily. As for me, just like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator says, "I'LL BE BACK"

Thank you for everything c(:

Regards,

Aaron

Do Re Mi, Only Re Is Sane

This morning is a bad and troublesome start to another day at work. At least only the morning is bad

First and foremost I woke up late. I woke up at 6.40 where by right I should wake up fifteen minutes earlier. Then I check live update which shows Chelsea draw their match last night. Though it is not really important.

Secondly, I realise there is no water again. Its not like I'm complaining or I'm taken by surprise. It is just that it take a whole lot more time than necessary to wash up. Most notably I've got to boil a few kettle of water. A cockroach is staring at me again. Well, that cockroach is no longer around

I left the house and drop my car keys. Coincidently or accidently, I step on it and break the car control. Then when I want to buy newspaper, the guy is really rude. So i drop the newspaper and left with him cursing from behind

In the train, there's two psycho. The first is on my left, a foot taller than me. He was there talking to himself non stop. The guy on my right is a foot shorter, but something wrong with the skull too. He was laughing out loud to himself.

Don't worry guys, I'm still sane

I'm Driving a Vintage Car

I'm currently driving a maybe 60 years old Volvo. Its bulky and sturdy which I'm sure will remain alright even if I were to drive it into an elephant. Its my first time driving such an old car because as a person who thinks life is sacred, I'm prone to avoid life threatening situations such as this

However, I'm simply without a choice because my uncle wants me to help him to start his precious antique now and then since he and my aunt are off to the US for my cousin's newborm baby. Bless her. Her baby was safely delivered

This left me with the task of starting the car. And since I'm lazy as well, so I might as well just drive it to work istead of starting the car and wait for it to get 'heated up' for ten minutes. Surprisingly the car is better than expected seriously. It is nice to drive an antique once in a while. Especially my dress code of white with black tie and that car is also white fits properly. I should have driven it to the Bar Council dinner the other time (:

My First Week At Work

Now is obviously the second week and only now that I blog shows I'm terribly busy -_-

The first day itself, I realised one thing. Or maybe two or three

1. You better know everything
2. They expect you to know everything
3. Its all about dead lines
4. Work continues to pile up despite you haven't finish
5. Missing the dead lines because of too much work is not a defence

Well, its a typically big place. However, the colleagues which comprises of chambering students are really really nice to us juniors. One of my senior from MMU, Jeremy, is here. He's really capable and willing to teach. He had taught me so much about civil procedures

The food! Yes! The food is really good and cheap. Especially Indian food or nasi campur sort of stuff. Lol

But well, we'll definitely meet every type of people. Hardworking young lawyers which have full of vigour and out to prove something, old grumpy ones who'll blast you left and right if given a reason no matter good or bad, lazy ones who can't even read the newpaper by themselves and need someone to actually read to them, those very susah type who are really rigid, gossip clerks, clerks which I think is dumb and coffee aunties who practice double standard

Job wise, its definitely challenging. Lots to learn and lots to know. Much work needed to be done. Now they even let me in on confidential details already. Work also include planning or searching for grounds to challenge, corresponding and reesearching. Of course there are menial stuff such as photostating, carrying files and filings as well. I'm starting to think photostaing is an art. Comparing me and the photosate machine, its technology is a few years ahead of me
