as you all know im back in KL already. There are a few of you who still havent realised that, in which all I can say is sorry i didnt let u know earlier. the next time u fly into london, do make sure u check whether im in or not, yea? hehe.
ive been back for over 2 and a half weeks now, and am enjoying the abudant supply of food. this of course has led my belly, never a fine example in the first place, to display bulges that will put johnny vegas to shame. nonetheless i have embarked on a fruitless exercise in self restraint, only to be met by jeers and laughter from my friends. I have not given up yet, but i think resistance is futile, eventually i will cave in to nasi lemak.
internship work has been going fine. its given me a new perspective on how a law firm operates. its never what you think it is, its never like in the movies or tvshows. yes, i do liven the place up a bit by making jokes here n there (some of them successful, some of them met with confused eyes) but so far its ok. the first few days were a bit boring, being stuck in a room with little to do and trips to construction sites (dont know why they did this trip) but when the assignments came in, it was pretty cool. doing research, writing opinion letters, bunking off early to lunch, bringing cases back (real cases, albeit low level) home and doing research on it and typing out stuff, its pretty sweet. this may be early enthusiasm, but i am actually looking forward to monday. although, having said that, there is a caveat; i for sure know that after 3 months, work sucks, regardless which company you are, unless of course, you're a formula 1 driver. talking to the lawyers there gave me some idea on life in a legal practice, which is pretty much unique.
law, they say, is style and action. the facts you can research, the cases you can study, but you need to show your clients, the judge, and the opposing legal counsel that you know your stuff and you're pretty damn good. its about perception, confidence and (to some extent) having the balls to go through it.
sounds like my kinda thing. haha
so yea, i am enjoyin a bit of kl here n there. ive not gone out much like the previous holidays, because of work and my sudden interest in just staying at home, but im enjoyin it i guess.
well, thats all ive got to write at the moment. its pretty late and i gotta catch some zzs, tommorow im making the trek up to Bentong to visit my grandma.
to ya'll back in London, take care and enjoy the summer
to those coming back to KL, come back quick and take me out for lunch
to those going to London, lets meet up soon!
