Garden Of The Inner Soul

hmm..it’s the 1st day of work, actually not many of my friends know about my work..i presume only one from col and church friends not forgetting ding and et know about this, beside that I don’t recall telling such things to any of my friends.so it’s the 1st day of work, guess what I did? Eventually I did nothing, neglecting the alarm and thus waking up at 8.45am..OMG! Office at 9am.Straight jump out from the bed den brush my teeth and at lastly bathed, i skipped my breakfast that morning..sobs..hungry neh…I reached office sharp at 9am. Hmm..guess wat I’ve been called by Mr. Ravi, one of the partners there and he’s also the one who interviewed me..

So he began giving lesson on punctuality and being early to work..both as an legal clerk and a lawyer..his speech last only for awhile and straight after that Mr. Chandran (our office-in-charge) was summon by him and then I was brought to my sitting place.

Everyone expect that they’ll be bored with the 1st day of work, this things eventually wont happen on the 1st day of work in a law firm. Upon sitting on my beautiful and comfortable couch, I was thrown with 2 files; one who is for me to do and the other is a reference on how to do. 1st I have to read about 3 to 4 inch of letters, claim, counter claim and judgment. It’s only after all of that, and then I can refer to the reference and start working on the submission for appeal. Oh, before I forget, the case I’m working on? A 14year old case which started on 1995. See Malaysia jurisdiction is always like that, what to do? Since we’re living in this country there’s nothing better to do than to adept with it.

And so I spend 3 hours reading all the required knowledge about the case and then start to flip through the reference submission, even though I’ve flip through the reference, I still got no idea how to do..not mentioning where to find the cases.

And thus I’ve wasted almost 5 hours idling there doing nothing but staring at the monitor and the white printed black papers. The time I’m looking forward to? Basically 1pm and 6pm, lunch break and end of the day..

This is my 1st day of work.
