1st day of attachment

My first day of attachment begins at the KL high court on 16/5, at 8.30am. My supervisor told me to meet him there as he was handling a divorce case. When I reach there there was a big crowd. They were shouting: "hidup anwar!! bebas anwar!!" Yup you guess it, the decision on whether anwar case should enter defence was given that day. (the famous sodomy trial)

Putting that aside, I joined my supervisor at the entrance and he brought me around the High court. We went to the family court and I witnessed many divorce cases. It was sad for me because there are like 40 divorce cases per day. My supervisor handled his case well. It was a joint petition(where both parties agree to divorce). The interesting part came when his client(a lady) came and told him that she wants to get the divorce immediately because she is pregnant.

My supervisor was surprised but he managed to persuade the judge to shorten the time to 1 month before the divorce became absolute. (Usually it takes 3 months for a divorce to be absolute but if the court allows it, it can be shorten.) He told me later that he know the lady judge quite well and he knew she would grant him the said 1 month. That was when I started to admire him. He seems to know every lawyer around and he is such a friendly lawyer.

After that I came back to the law firm situated near Petaling Street and started doing some legal work. I ended my work at 6.30pm. It was really tiring that day but I learnt a lot! =)

P.S. Sorry peeps only 1 pic. Will try to put more pics when I have them.

Playful Kiss

A few months back I watched a Korean drama called Playful Kiss. Its really nice and something different compare to 'Goong' (another Korean drama).

The drama is about a not-so-pretty girl(Jung So Min) who fell in love with a very handsome guy(Kim Hyung Joon). The drama has its tears and laughter and I enjoyed it very much^_^

They look so lovely with each other especially when they got married. I shall not spoil you by giving all the details so just see for yourself la. =p

I really like the songs from Playful Kiss. There are three that I especially like: 1. Kiss Me by Gina 2. One more time by Kim Hyun Joong and 3. Should I Confess by Shoyu(SISTAR). The lyrics are so nice and meaningful and those three songs really melted my heart. I shall put the third song translated lyrics here.

Should I Confess

Again today I looked into the sky aimlessly

I tried to draw your face slowly
Your lips, your eyes are so lovely today
I tell my self that I need to forget you
I keep telling myself that I can't see you anymore
but you're the only one for me
It can't be anyone else
will you accept my heart now

Should i tell you that i love you?
Do you know how i feel when i look you everyday?
If you stay by my side i don't want anything else
Will you just stay my side?

Should i try to run to you?
I want to know how you feel about me
That's the only thing i need
I can't imagine day without you
Will you accept my feeling for you?

I try to remember everything that you did for me in the past
Do you know how I feel when I look at you everyday?
If you stay by my side I don't want anything else
Will you please stay by my side and protect me?

Should I tell you that I love you?
Do you know how I feel when I look you everyday?
If you stay by my side i don't want anything else
Will you just stay my side?

The cold looks you always gave me, and the way you used to talk to me
They don't matter to me anymore
Will you tell me how you feel about me?

I love you...
I love you, ilove you more than anyone else in the world
If you give into this love I won't except anything else
You're enough for me

Should i find the courage to confess to you?
I need to know how you feel about me right now
I don't desire anyone else

I can't live one day without you
I only love one person
the person I love is you

Love is such a strange thing

Love...is such a strange thing. Some time ago, (I think about 1 year ago) I listened to this chinese song called 為你寫詩-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML1R6wl_dlE&feature=related When translated it means 'write a poem for you'. I don't know why I like that song so much but ever since then it has become my ringtone. The first phrase of the song is 'love is such a strange thing'. Now that I think of it again, love is really a strange thing. As the song will tell later on, (if you understand mandarin) love makes you do impossible things. In the song the author writes that because of love, he learned how to play piano, learn how to write love poem, learn how to sing love songs and even went crazy! XD

Why is love so powerful that it can make us do funny things even? I remember when i was in first year in law school, I did many stupid things for love. Sadly, it din't work out and I was left with a huge scar in my heart. And then in second year I did the same thing again (why o why are you so stupid Jason??) Anyway, I have learnt my lesson and I'm very cautious now. Hopefully, history won't repeat itself because I really cant take it anymore!!!! God please help me to love again!

And that leads me to why is it that God shows love to us by sending Jesus to die for our sins?? Isn't it strange that you have to send your loved ones to die for your own creation? The answer? Sacrificial love. Some call it Grace. Sometimes I just stop asking and just praise God for his wonderful love for us. We are all sinners, unworthy of anything at all from God but still he loves us, just like how a father loves his child.

So what is love anyway? The Bible provides an answer in 1 Corinthians 13.

"Love is patient and kind,

love does not envy or boast,

it is not arrogant or rude,

it does not insist on its own way,

it is not irritable or resentful,

it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

Love bears all things, hopes all things, believe all things, endure all things,

Love never ends,

...so now faith, hope and love abide, these three;

but the greatest of these is love."

Thank you Lord for your Love!!!

P.S. I want to dedicate this post to my friend Beatrice. Beatrice, please take care ya =) *hugs*

淚海

愛已不能動　還有什麼值得我心痛

想你的天空　下起雨來 沒人心疼的黑夜

臉頰兩行鹹鹹的淚水 是你　哦是你

讓我望穿淚水　肝腸寸斷

你怎麼捨得讓我的淚流向海 付出的感情永遠　找不回來

你怎麼捨得讓我的愛流向海 傷心的往事一幕幕就像潮水 將我淹埋

閉上了雙眼　還看見和你的纏綿

眼角的淚水　洗不去心中 一遍一遍的誓言

Student Exchange Program to Thailand

First of all, I would like to apologize for not updating my blog for soooo long. (Shona and Bernice, don't be mad ya)

So what is so special about this student exchange program(SEP)? ITS FUN thats why!!! Its like an all paid(okla, almost) trip for holiday! My faculty started this exchange program last year and there were three universities from Thailand, China and Indonesia who were involved. And I was selected to go for the SEP in Thailand, the land of smiles! =) The duration of the SEP is about a month.

We left for Thailand on the 10th of Dec 2010. The University that I stayed in is called Prince of Songkla University which was situated in Hat Yai, South of Thailand. When we reached there(there were 20 of us in total), we were welcomed warmly by the Thai students and 2 faculty staffs, P'jeab and Arjan(Teacher) Joy.

I love their university! They even have a science museum with a statue of a dinosaur! And they have a big lake near the guest house where we were staying. The guest house was very comfortable but the toilet is kinda small.(When i say small, its really small)

The students there are very friendly even though their English is not that good. I learned a lot about the Thai culture and its people. During the first week, we visited a few places like the floating market and the flea market(shopping!!!) I shall not talk about the academic activities because its boring =p But I like the Thai language class because it was conducted by the Thai students. Thai girls are so cute!!!

At the end of the week, we had a cultural performance and yours truly had to dance and sing! Dancing was ok but the singing part was a nightmare for me =( The Thai students performance were way better than us. They even have a gay dance!

During the second week, we did nothing much except attending classes. Then at the end of the second week, we packed our bags and went for a study trip(more like shopping trip) to Bangkok!!!! The journey took almost 18 hours (@.@) because the bus had some problems. Ohya, I celebrated Christmas on the bus by eating some chocolate, Whee~

The Hotel that we stayed in Bangkok was super awesome! Very comfortable^^ We went to many places like the Emerald Buddha palace, the theme park, the Parliament, the Supreme Court, the famous JJ Market and many more shopping malls. I shopped until I got broke =s We then came back to Hat Yai on the 5th day.

On New year's eve, we celebrated the coming new year by watching fire works. One funny thing happen though, before the countdown, suddenly the crowd was running and when we saw them running we also panicked and ran. Then later when we have stopped running, we found out that there was nothing wrong actually. Some of us thought is was a bomb scare but apparently it was just some people fighting =.=!

Thailand was indeed a wonderful experience and I had a good time there. Wish I could stay there longer =\ Thank you amazing Thailand!!!! =)
