Bye to the Good 17 Years

It is time to say goodbye to 17 years of life as a student (Year 1992 - 2008)... I am starting work in one of the largest law firms in Malaysia - Skrine. Sounds prestigious, huh, But my earnings for the time being could barely support my living. Luckily it is just a temporary situation and my life will be better after this 9 months of chambering.

Fro now on, I need to wake up REALLY early, as in 6.15am to get myself prepared, start driving to work at 6.45am to cope with the massive traffic jam. The journey will take 30 mins without jam, but I have no clue how long it is with jam. That's why I need to leave home at such wee hours to be on the safe side. What a way to start to my career life.

I honestly do not know what to expect, and what my firm (or on a broader perspective, the legal field in Malaysia) expect from me. I understand that studying law and practising law is substantially different, and that is really a daunting fact. Students need to face with exams but lawyers need to be accountable to their firms and their demanding clients.

Anyway, I will always reminisce about the good memories I have and good times I had during my student life. From now on, no more student discount privileges in the cinemas, restaurants and departmental stores. SIGH.... For those who are still students, please appreciate what you have now...

Alright, time to sign off, and take a bath and sleep EARLY!!!
