It is exactly 1 month after my last paper, and I have not yet find a chambering place. Not that I have been really looking for one. I am actually very open to almost anything right now. I however know that I prefer my chambering place to be nearer to home. Less hassle. More value to money. Chambering is simply another learning experience. I do not have to learn in fancy places with hot shot lawyers as my Master (I did graduate from UiTM as a proof teehee).
I actually went to Rawang yesterday in search for a good firm which is closer to home (after I finally could extract myself from the couch, that is). I left my resumes with 2 firms. And I called half a dozen of the rest of the firms in Rawang listed in the Malaysian Bar website, but either they are not interested to have a chambering student, or they are not yet qualified to have one (FYI a Master must be one who has been at least 7 years in practice). Rawang is so not happening. But one female lawyer (who is unfortunately not yet qualified) offered to help and took all my details to be given to her former employee who is apparently looking for a Chambee. That is one nice woman.
I am in no hurry if you ask. But my friends have been looking for firms (with exception of Far, we are waiting for each other), or worse, have started working. Dod started chambering yesterday. And Yatt has started earlier. Ana will be starting soon in Skrine. Hazri & Jas are already working on permanent basis with Bank Negara. Mazia and Aniz have got themselves a chambering place. Daud went to a promising interview in JB yesterday. Besides, he and Mazia are waiting for the result of that AG interview. They have got alternatives.
Maybe my opportunity would be better if I search in KL, but.. yes, that is the problem, the fact that there are BUTs. I am not being picky. I just prefer to do it nearer to home: Rawang. Sungai Buloh. Kuala Kubu. Readers, got any firm in mind? There is 1 working-from-home legal firm selang few houses from mine. But no one knows the people who live/work there. They are new in the neighbourhood. And mysterious too (a proper slang for tak campur orang). And there are 2 firms in Bukit Sentosa, but I just got the contact number of 1 firm this morning, and the other one belongs to a Chinese female lawyer who sounds really nice on the phone but is unqualified as a Master. “You are welcome to do attachment though.” Thanks, but no.
Anyway, to recap, I went to Penang last weekends for my Uncle’s wedding (Ibu’s professional drummer-duda-little brother). Spent 3 rainy days there. It was kinda boring as the rain never stops. The hotel room was so chilly I had to switch off the air cond and fan, and still had to wear sweater (I love his sweater teehee). Anyway, wedding was good, and adik-beradik Ibu proudly conquered the karaoke section. Mind you, they can really sing. Of course, my parents sang their signature duet, Jangan Ada Dusta Antara Kita (Broery & Dewi Yull) and wowed the crowds. It was fun.
As it was a wedding, naturally, I was bombarded with accusations like “Yanti sikit lagi la ni” or questions like “Yanti dekat dah kot kan?” My father, to my surprise, calmly told them “Lagi 2 tahun kot”. That is one sharp observation by him. And I was told that my favourite cousin is getting married soon after she finishes her Medical studies, and that will be early next year! Yeay!!! And more, as I have expected, almost all the relatives, knowing that I had finished school, kept saying “Oo jadi lawyer lah ye lepas ni”. People, I am not even one step close to being one. And worse, I am not even sure if I want to be one. Kata orang putih, "You must find a job you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life."
Anyway result was out yesterday. Alhamdulillah I did okay. Only a few points better than last semester, but judging myself against my own self, I think I did okay (although I could have done better). What is important is that I secured myself one glittery star in the graduation book (and screen). Sometimes I feel like I am tired of being a student, but sometimes I crave to go to classes, to meet homework deadlines, and to read intellectual stuffs. Tak paham betul dengan diri aku sendiri.
Besides that, life is good. The comfort of home. I do miss my friends, but I sms them regularly (esp. Naem & Mazia), and I talk to Far and Daud everyday (Far had a supernatural encounter recently. Really spooky). Daud will be in Shah Alam tomorrow and I will be seeing him yeay yeay. And I will be meeting Ayin on Sunday to go to Anayasmin’s wedding (our junior in STF a.k.a. Ayin’s pet sis is already getting married. Talk about langkah bendul). I finished reading 2 entertaining books (and another 1 in progress), while managing to watch almost all the television programs ASTRO could offer. Bliss.
