Yea! Friday again, I don’t know why, but once it reached Friday I’m always motivated to work. Hmm, because after Friday then I’ll be having break for 2 days? Most probably.

Every time when it reached Friday, the feeling is different for any other days. Typed a letter from a draft written with an almost unreadable hand writing, I admit that my hand writing is bad as per words of Mrs.Sivanese but his writing is for more worst than mine. Having hard time reading his handwriting. Yea, as usual translation work again this time it’s much more easier than the previous one. Completed by 5pm.

Yesterday was a great moment, Ze Ping Jie came back from Taiwan yesterday, in actual fact, se just reached Malaysia yesterday noon and then she came by to our house at 6 In the evening. Imagine the long hours of flight, tiredness and the journey that they had gone through and yet they still have the energy to come by to our house to visit her. I believe their energy is motivated by the two babies we had in our home..keke..xP

When she reached our home, most of us did not now, it’s until we saw “yi chian”(her son) we realize that Ze ping Jie had reached Malaysia, It was rather a surprising moment. We did not expect to see her that soon! We thought that she would be coming together with the visiting group, which they will arrive next week. She really gave us a big surprise.

When I saw her at the staircase of the house (I was on the ½ floor and she was on her way up), upon seeing me, she says, “ don’t say a word” (the real conversation is in Chinese, translation are for the benefit of those who don’t understand Chinese)

Then she starts recollecting her memories. .



. . . . . .

……….


*suddenly*

“HAO HAO ! !”
*Then I started hopping there*

I was so happy that she didn’t forget my name, how could one remember one name especially after almost 10years of no audio and visual contact. It’s hard and it takes one who has super memorial power to do so. Indeed she’s one, no doubt.

She says that she’ll be here for about a month, I do really hope that I can bring the visiting group around as I was free on the month of August and that I could spend more time with her.

For those who just knew Ze Ping Jie, a brief introduction will be held here, Ze Ping Jie is my church member and she was married to a Taiwanese thus, she’s at Taiwan all these while and Ze Ping Jie is another person who can control me when I was then a kid. Not many people can control me during my childhood, it takes much patience and nurseling skills to get me. (will blog about my childhood next time).

Then she urgent to the 1st floor to look for my aunt Bao Ti, (my aunt, her best friend, mother of the twins). They started chitchatting and talking about their life experience and etc. their stay last about two hour, when the clock struck eight, they left for church (there’s a night prayer session).

After they left, I went out and came back around nine something and then urgent for my movie session. Upon entering the cinema, I (walked in front) mislead the other three to the row “D” instead of “C” we didn’t realize that we’re on the wrong row until someone said “are we not in the 3rd row? Y we’re at the 4th wan? should we change?” replied “ just wait until someone come only we change” not a minute in, the overseer came and throw us back to the 3rd row, at that time the movie was about to start. How embarrassed we are at that time.

Half way through the movie, one of my friend yawn, in fact not once, he yawned throughout the movie, actually he dislike the movie but somehow, we manage to forced him there hehe, we’re bad.

Yea! There’s a night market tonight, cant wait for it. But I always also buy the same stuff wan. Still not bored of eating the same stuff every Thursday, somehow in sometime I will. Grew a bit fat lately.

Done with the amendment that has to be don’t to a work in which I’ve completed last week, then typed out a letter, called other legal firm on request for a copy of summons and after all that I’m again here roaming freely around the office. People often say that working is hard, u have to work work work and u cant good rest. Well I say, the hardest tings is not working part, the hardest thing is that u have to be in the office having no work to do, all u can is just sitting there doing nothing, idle, stagnant and immobile.

it seems that my source work now nor longer comes form mrs.pheilo nor ganesh instead mr balan is giving me work.. I was summon by him a few times today and I was stunted when I got the news from my colleague that he wants me. as u can see, I’m following part of his cases, and all the cases I followed are his case. Thus, I think I can conclude that my presumption was right on the first place. Okay, just finished translating something from English to BM again. I hate BM, everytime when I was needed to translate from English to BM I explode my head thinking of the term in BM of course. Y dose the court set legal filing in BM? Y cant they just standardise everything to English? I guess some questions are not meant to be question. Especially when we’re living in these circumstances. After translation work, I got nothing to do again, the only work which I have is searching law books for mr.balan, it’s not a task of mind, all we need is a very powerful eye. Since a library was installed in this office, I don’t see the difficulties of finding it, found about six to seven books and passed to him all the books. After that, I went back to my beautiful couch and then start my “SS” session. Sitting there alone doing nothing, the most I can do is drawing which is one that I’m not good at. Sited there till 6pm then as usual cabut again. One thing I realize, I always tend to be late to work, punctual to lunch, late from lunch and punctual to go off. Great isn’t it? I also feel the same.
It's the number..!!

some people said it’s hard to know what’s on my mind, it seems that they cannot get a single idea of what am I thinking at that point of time, maybe it’s because of my introvert attitude. I rarely share my feelings or opinion with others, this is because it’s not easy for me to trust a person. If I were to make a chart of my level of classification via time it can be summarised as :-

0 - 2 years : outer circle
2 - 4 years : on the circumference
4 –5 years : friends / close friends
5 years and above : inner circle.

See how hard it takes to be in my inner circle. It takes years and years of hard work and reliance for me to classified them as one.. Thus, with the chart I can conclude that I don’t really have much friends hehe.. There are also incident where some of them are in my classification of inner circle within a year. I do not know how it happens but it dose happened before

You might see me calling most of the guys/girls as my friends, babe and etc. thou I called them that, I do not mean it as I said. It’s not an outward expression of the inner heart, the reason of me called them that? Just to make us feel more comfortable when we’re together.

To me friends are the treasure of the earth, friends are one whom u call when u need them (of course there’s some limitation to it) when u hang out together with them, when u do silly things together with them and friends are one which u enjoy being together with them.

If friends were to be the treasure of earth to me, then my inner friends would be my body parts to whom which I took good care of them, concern about them and they are part of my life, It’s just hard to live without them. They are liken to parts of the blood in my body. Planting life, colour and joy in me. They make up the most of who-I-am and what-I-am.

There are some them who is in my inner circle, but they did not seems to be like in the eye of others, thou I did not talked to them often, of hang out with them often, deep in our heart we do know that we cherish this friendship of ours. They are what I called them as “silence friends”. I miss his bear hug..!!

Talking about my inner friend, not many of them know who am I, this is because I rarely talk when we’re together therefore it’s hard for them to know me, only a hand full of them truly knows who am I, what I am thinking and my personalities.

So some of us might be thinking what is that got to do with the title of the post and the content of the post, both of them seem unconnected right? Well, it’s the number, it’s when I’m having my recollection, I found out that there’s always a same number which appear in my calculation of friends, the number seven.

This number seven means a lot to me, thou it might be what as one of my friends told me “it’s my bad luck number”, but to me it’s a very special numbers. When I was recollecting those memories, I found out that there’s many thing which I can connect with he number seven.

Firstly, seven is the number in which we 1st form our group it’s a group which we formed when we’re young, since young the seven of us clicked together and always together. When u want to find one of us, search for the rest of the six and u will find the one. We’re so close to the extend that one senior ask us “give me 10 reasons why the seven of u always clicked together”

Secondly, seven is also a number of close friends, which I have during my three years of short term theological training course, they are the group which I clicked the most during theolo and we share a lot of things together, games, guys talk or even sometimes girls talk, we join in almost everything and we’re almost transparent before each and everyone of them. I did rank them accordingly, but the ranking given by me is after the theological and thus, not all of them knows about the ranking stuff. I am calling them by their rank now. Whenever I see them I’ll call them by “No.1#” , “No.7#” or to whatever rank they are.

And therefore it’s the number, the number seven that strike me the most, deep down into me during my recollection.

Again the atmosphere in the office changes, it change for the better this time, previously I’ve left out a part on purpose just because I do not want to give an bad impression of my working place, but now here I would blog about it. It all started when the server are down. And so it happened as two of our staff starting arguing and arguing..no shouting was incurred and the quarrel was in a very sarcastic way, this quarrel brings down the whole office environment down to a dead mode. And so since, the sever problem was fixed today, the quarrel goes off and the environment of the office restored to it’s happy and lively condition. Yea, today the staff also seems to be more cheerful and we do really talked more today..hehe..

Yesterday mrs.pheilo approach me, asking me when will I be leaving, I tole her I’ll be there until 31 of July. Then she said “ so fast a..?” I think I got the clue from her, it’s so obvious that she wants me to stay here and help the firm out, this is because the firm now is in lack of legal clerk, imagine 2 legal clerk working under 6 lawyers, if I left the firm, both kak ma and mrs.pheilo is going to have a hard time working out the legal document. So should I leave?
*thinking*
after 2 sec
*done thinking*

I’ll still leave..haha…I know I’m bad..

Since morning, I’ve finished typing two document and finished a case on bankruptcy. I was called to typed by mrs.pheilo so I’ve type it, passed to her and then she passed to mr.ravi den mr.ravi passed back to her for amendment and then she pass it back to me for amendment..hehe, just e-mailed the case to the client and then now typing this post again.hehe

I always used office hours to do my personal stuff..hehe…this is because I’m too free liao..not much work was givint to me to do.so..i prepare my blog post lor..hehe..

*after lunch*

I got this feeling that they are throwing me to Mr.balan this is because Mr.balan PA, personal assistance which is evon had resign from the firm, thus leaving the slot empty,
They ad been asking me to follow on mr.balan cases, a bit scare of the task. Mr.balan is one of the busiest lawyer we had.. he’ll be at court everyday and each day, he’ll be having 3 to 4 cases to follow on. See how ti goes bah..

Got a translation work yesterday, it almost burst my head doing the translation. Since yesterday (after lunch), I was busying working with the translation stuff. There are many terms in which I almost spend more than half an hour just to figure out how to translate it, terms such as “ confidence building measure” this is indeed a great one. I’ve spend tons and tons of minutes figuring out this one and asked kak ma about it, but even kak ma cant translate it for me and she called me to translate it as far as I can go. And therefore I had created a new “term” in Malay language.

*Don’t laugh at me if I got it wrong*

This is how I translate it

“ satu ukuran perbangunan yang berkeyakinan”

okie, I know it sounds funny, even when I’m typing it out here I laughed at myself, but it’s believe to be the best that I can do what to do? My Bm is so weak hmm, should work hard on my bahasa? Neh~ nop it’s a never haha (n_n)

*After lunch*

I’ve finished the file and handed it up. Now I’m left again with nothing to do, so I make sure I got things to do, and the things is? Typing my daily diary so that I can post everything up to the blog once internet is reconnected..hehe..maybe searching for some more works later when I’m done with this..

I just remember yesterday night around late 10pm that yesterday was Wednesday, I totally forgot that yesterday was Wednesday and that eventually I’ve skipped the night prayer. Since I’ve skipped it, nothing much can be done. Therefore I just hoped that I will NEVER forget “WEDNESDAY” again. It’s a never to forget again, trying my best not to forget it..!! can someone please remind me it’s Wednesday?

I’ve realize one thing today, which is all case are the same, as lawyers we are not obliged to choose our case, when there’s a case we have to do it. Whatever the case is, when it’s present before us, we’ll try our best to do it, interest? It all depend on how u looked at the case, there’s two side to everything, if we looked from the bright side we’ll find some interest in the case.

By the way before I forgot, there’s a couple which came to the firm yesterday, the Boy claim that they wan to make a matrimony oath. And therefore, a form was given to them to fill in their details. Half way filling, *oppps* something happen, the guy misfiled the girl’s IC number, apparently a single digit was misfiled. And so the show began, the boy start blaming the girl for not filling herself and that he had misfiled. This s his claim “everything also I do for u, call u to fill yourself already wan, see what happened now? U cannot fill yourself meh?” he continues “ everything also I do for u, wan me to eat and sleep for u and u work for me anot?” upon hearing this, I was thinking to myself “what in the world make this guy up, he’s blaming others for his own mistake I’m pretty sure that the girl did not asked him to filled for her, y don’t u just accept that u’re wrong? stupid guy u don’t deserve to marry”, “even before marriage u are like that what happens after marriage? I don’t dare to imagine”

Actually there’s no big deal in misfiling the document, all u have to do is to have another one and refilled the document, there’s no need of blaming..the most it will hurt u is another Rm10(I think) to be spend.

Kla, have to stop here already buai~.

*Gosh I’m getting more and more long-winded*

Went to work as usual, following a new case, a not so interesting one typed everything out in 3hours, filed in and then rejected on the spot. Retyped again and then before I could hand in it’s lunch time. Not going to have lunch at home, this is because it’s one of the partners birthday today. The whole office is having lunch in the office to celebrate with Mr.Seah, it’s his 50th birthday. Dear, he’s so advance in age yet he dose not look like one, at 1st when I’ve told that is his birthday I assume that he’s around his young forty but when I found out that he’s at his fifty I’m surprise.

Anyway..

*inhale and exhale*

HAPPY BITRHDAY MR.SEAH..!!

*After lunch*

went back to work(typing out 2day diary) haha..seeking for work later..chao~



back, 5.04pm got a call from Mr.Deva, quite stunned, when he told me that he’s Mr.deva I’m like “uhuh…..” kla, stop crapping, he told me that he’s having a preview this Saturday at 9am. About the intake and all those stuff…how I pray that I passed my A-level and then enter inter this September.


**God please me, so that I can pass my a-level**

One thing which I’ve discovered myself in the course of this work is that, I’ve leaned how to become more longwinded. Compare to my previous post, this few post is for sure longer than the previous post.

It’s the 10th day of work, kind of getting use to this life of living now. When I was at home doing nothing, I realty feel that time pass slowly, every minute was like an hour to me and indeed having a big problem on how to kill time. But now, I feel that time passes swiftly. In a blink of an eye, an hour is gone, what has passed is a past, there is no way we would reverse the precious time which had gone.

When I reached office, I noticed that Ganesh is not in, maybe he went t the court hmm..i was still thinking of giving him my search result yesterday since he’s not in then I’ll keep it till he comes back. Starting up my computer, then kak ma approach me, “boy mana kau pergi semalam ya? Ganesh cari kau samapi tak tau macam mana tau? Dia Tanya-tanya samaada kau bagi kertas kepada siapa-siapa untuk bagi dia lar” it’s onli then I know that the authorities was to be used this morning in the court, he’s doing the appeal in the court this morning gosh!

When he came back, he dose not seems in good condition, I approach him and told him that I did not know that those authorities was needed this morning, he said it’s okay and that he never told me when he wants those search result. And so I asked him “how was the case this morning?” his reply “ I worked till 10pm last night searching authorities and making the appeal” I felt a bit guilty. It’s my fault that he stayed till 10pm finishing his work.

Went back to work, Ganesh wet out again.

*After lunch*

Finished my case and then I approach mrs.pheilo again. She said the ganesh is holding the note and that she got nothing to give me to do as for now, so I’ve spend my time here typing all this daily notes out. typed till 6pm and then cabut again..

As I worked, I really like this job, after finishing a case; it feels like I’ve helped the needy. It’s somehow satisfying knowing that we helped others going through their difficulties. Handed up the divorce case to Mrs. Phelio, then she checked and found out that my work are half done called me back and then she explain to me the other half of the work. After that, lunch time, the weather now at lunch is hazy can really see the sky clearly due to the concentration of the contaminated air, went back for lunch and have a short nap, wake up at 1.50 den wash my face den back to work. Went back to work, typing the other two file which I’ve left out, it’s not an easy task typing out the other two file, as both the two file are heavy in nature, a lot of typing work need to be done as it’s a 100+ pages work and therefore i cannot finished in a day or two. Half way working Ganesh approach me, I was quite stunted by the approach. This is because he never approach me before, all this while I was the one who make the approach. His reason of approaching me was not to amend the mistake I’ve done but to help him search for some authorities which he need. This is what he said “can u help me search for some authorities? Your stuff not urgent rite? come..” then I followed him to the library and he start flipping books and call me to search. I left my work aside and helped him to, search till 6pm then cabut again.

Today is a special date, it’s a day which I finish my boring case and then got a case which interest me a lot and I love doing it the most, a divorce case. yes!. As usual, reading through the materials that I had, among all the materials there’s one material that really grab my attraction it’s a diary written by one of the parties. In certain occasion I was tempted to read the diary which I did not know weather it’s all right to read or not and at last, what I do? I throw my work aside and then start read the diary. In the diary I found some dried tear droplets.

As I read, I really hate the other party. I feel like killing the other party, what the other party did cross the limit. Abandon the family; leaving spouse alone at home and never went back to the house after 2004. Who in the world create such human? His/her parents never taught him before? Ish..!!

Today is also a day with tears and laughter, as today is Evon, another legal clerk last day, she was hired by another law firm to work there. The reason for her left? The firm pay is higher. Humans are materialistic we cant blame them for what the are, and thus she left leaving two and not even a half legal clerk here..

Have u wonder who two and not even a half? It’s because there’s now 3 legal clerk in the office, namely Mrs.Phelio, kak ma and me which is the not even half clerk at times I feels that I’m more like a burden than a helping hand to them.

Rarely late for work since the 1st day of work, it was in one of the day which I was late by 5 min to office, but lucky none of the partners nor lawyers were there. And so, I escaped (n_n).

Working on the 2nd case again, not forgetting to mention, the things which interest me in this case is that this case have some relation to do with a shop where all of us had at lest gone there once in our entire life , the “7-11” market. Finished working with this case by the end of day 5 and handed up the Ganesh for “QC” (quality control) zzz..

It seems that my work is not trusted..*My work should not have been trusted at the 1st place*

7th day of work, went to Ganesh room begging for job, then he asked me to find Mrs. Phelio another legal clerk who’s also advance in age, experienced and I’m not sure weather she’s a lawyer, it’s written in one of her affidavit that she’s a lawyer, but her work here is more like a lawyer assistance than a lawyer. One thing for sure, she has the equal power in the office as Mr.Chandran, so don’t play play with her..actually Mrs.Phelio is very kind and nice. She gave me another file to do on. And as usual, another example is given so that things don’t go that wrong. I know there is for sure got to be some amendment to be done with my work, just to make sure that the amendment goes that wild they gave me and example.

This case, no that bad la, construction case. It’s not the best I’ve received yet but still manage to find some interest in it. And so I cant managed to finish this case within one day, when it reached 6pm. I also cabut liao..hehe..

Continue to search for authorities again, apparently I was bored flipping from one page to the other looking for cases and authorities and so I decided to close the case myself with 4 authorities. I’ve typed all the four authorities into the submission and reason it with my understanding on why should it be appealed and print it out as draft. The file was tied together with PINK ribbon, I don’t know why they use pink ribbons to tie a file, don’t they have any better colour?
And so I handed up the case to the young lawyer, Ganesh and he called me to left it there, he said that he’ll check when he have time. At this point I’m afraid that I’ll be bored after lunch because this is the only file I had. Without any work I can be bored till death. When I was about to left, he called me “boy, what is your name again?” so I answered him and then he continues with “do u have anything else to do?” I quickly answered “NO” then he say “good “and pass me a file,

Yea, I’m having a new case to follow on, he gave me the file and explained to me everything clearly on what should I do with it he also gave me an example so that I can refer to it if I got blurred. Leaving the room my mind was as clear as crystal on what should I do, no more blurring session for me, I hate being blurred

Blurring makes me feel like I’m an idiot and in the same way it makes me feels like I’m lost. I really do not like that feeling which I had when I was working with the 1st case.

*After lunch*

And so, when went back to my sit, I began reading everything about the case again, every single detail about the case was read and then I begin to typed my version of ‘order of stay of execution’ I do not know weather my version of the thing is correct, all I did was just follow the example that was given and changed the body of the content. Before anyone know about it it’s already 6pm..

Yea..balik time..hehe (n_n).
4th day of work

4th day of work


After what happen on the 1st day, I’ve committed not to be late or on time to office and thus, I wake up everyday at 8am (I’ve tried my best) just to make sure I reach office before 9am.

I reached office at about 8.50 today, I was surprise that the office was still empty, most of the workers are not there yet, and of course Mr. Chandran was already there by then if not I would not have entered into the office. It’s only about 8.55 when the workers start showing their face. All the partners are not in yet.

Today I spend the whole day crapping on why should the court bla bla bla..and then, after finishing the crapping session, my next problem..where should I find relevant cases to support my crap? Without authorities my crap will be a total crap and it would for sure not to be allowed. And so I approach kak ma again,
Me : kak ma mana saya nak cari kes-kes relavant ya?
Kak ma : err...kau cari la..tak dapat baru cari Ganesh.
Me : siapa Ganesh?
Kak ma : neh, budak lawyer yang dudunk dalam bilik tu
Me : oh okie, thx kak ma.


It seems that kak ma didn’t even know where to find the case law, and thus without putting any effort in searching for the authorities, I approach Ganesh *at this point I was hoping that he would say “ put down I will search the authorities myself”* but it never happen instead this is what he says “there’s a library behind just beside the pantry go and find your cases there” and so my anticipation and everything else gone, and I have to search It myself.

Once I entered the library, it’s like ATC’s library, but slightly smaller,.4 wall was covered with book racks with books on it, there’s a ladder which connects to all four walls of the book rack and it’s a amazing place to hide myself, with al those books, I was really fond of the place. It’s the only place in the whole office which gives me peace and I feel like reading there. In the library there’s a computer which it is connected to the internet, one thing to take note on, not all computers are connected to the internet there’s only a hand full of computers not connected to it and mine was one of it..sobs..

And so I was there searching for authorities till the extend that I’ve forgotten it’s lunch time, kak ma to whom I told her that I’ll be at the library, came to the library and says “Boy, tak nak makan ke?” it’s only then I know it’s lunch time..hehe..


After lunch I continued with the search and right before work end, I found 2 authorities. I spend most of the time looking at things I should not have looked, don’t misunderstand me, I was looking at certain act, act such as PACE, UCTA, Police power and etc. all these are acts there, I took PACE and certain others and read it with pace hehe.. Therefore it’s because of the pace that I only found 2 authorities.

2nd & 3rd day of work

2nd and 3rd day of work


Yeppie, 2nd day of work. The atmosphere in the office dose not changed much, I’m still alone, stuck with the 14year old case, Dare not to ask Mr. Chandran on how should I do it. This is because Mr. Chandran is a very busy man, he came to office early in the morning and left the office around at 7pm every night it seems that he has unfinished work to do. His lunch time? God knows. When I went for lunch, he’s in the office, and when I’m back he’s still in the office, I did not know weather he went for lunch or not.

I’ve been very tired with work this few days, this is mainly contributed by my shallow understanding on how to do the submission, I’ve been trying very hard to figure out what to type, and it always ended up nothing. It’s at this time, when another person, to whom she’s called ‘Kak Ma’ her full name was actually Mashita, since she’s advance in age, we use to call her ‘Kak ma’ due to her golden age, my mane was always forgotten by her, whenever she wan to approach me? “BOY” this is how she call me..and ya, kak ma place is the only place which I have full view on. I don’t have a clear full view on the others place, this is due to the design of the working area, how pathetic.

Kaka ma is a legal clerk too which means I can approach her when ever I have problems..hehe.. and thus, without hesitation I asked kak ma on my work and it’s only then I totally realize on what my submission is really on. Basically the submission is a submission in which we filed to the court telling them why should the case be appealed, and together with that authorities must be given to support. At the time when I heard this, I was relief and yet scared. The things in which makes me relief is that I finally knows what I’m working on and that I can start my work, the things which make me scared is that this submission will be filled to the Federal Court of Malaysia, since then I’m having tension on this submission.

1st day of work
12:39 PM | Author: jcehao
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.
