There was alot of drama before my call... hence I was very busy during my 2 week holiday... simply travelling to and forth the courts.. the AG's chambers.. the Bar Councils, BAr committees, simply to get all the matters done before the time is up!
But the long wait has been long over.. and i've been practising ( without a BC yet.... still doing my filing of my papers) for a while now ( and also that the Court is SUCH A HASSLE TO GO TO! GRRR)
And here are some of my pictures of the day.. There's quite a few pictures, and I was kinda lazy to upload them all, so I just compiled them into three pictures. Kindly click on them to see them in finer details! ^_^
Now I shall let you in on the morning that is the 29th August.
(dreamlike sounds..)
It starts at approximately 3 am. I woke up and I was a bit jittery. I don't seem to be able to sleep because I still worried about my call! but I soon fall asleep like the PIG I am (evident from the pictures .. I know... I no longer have a neck)
Then I woke up at 6, and got ready to wear my robes and bib (graciously lent to me by Cynthia) put on some makeup ( to which later my bosses said.. WAH everyday don't wear makeup, today wear makeup?)
then I woke my family up and we proceeded to go to the courts.
As my then Very Pregnant Sister (she has now given birth to a healthy little baby girl) lived only down the road from the Duta Courts, my mum dropped me off to the courts and they merrily had some VERYVERY Yummy Nasi Lemak at my sister's apartment! (soo jealous!)
So i waited lah (with a tummy ache too) Outside the courts and I got to know No.1 on the list (you can check out his name in one of the pictures below). He was telling me all sorts of stories about his life.
Then we waited.. for the time to come.. Slowly but surely.. more people come in.. some of them I know.. some of them I don't. My Master is slightly late and Pn Hendon is quite jittery asking me where he is. I gave Mak (Elaine's Husband) a call and she said she's on her way.. (STRESS AH??!!)
After the Judge came in (LATE!!) the proceedings began.. MY GAWD the first two fellas have like a WHOLE LIST OF THINGS they did that is possibly nominees for the "most-amount-of-things-you-can-possibly-write-about-yourself- award". I was sooo stiff in my seat and I felt a backache coming along. But you know what? It'll be etched in my memory forever... that the first guy was in the ARMY and was from MARA, and the SECOND GUY wanted to be an air steward.
The third guy was a close runner up... as his story could only warrant a ''best attempt-at-the most-things-you-could-write-about-yourself-award" from brunei. Unfortunately for him the Judge decided to rile up his feathers and asked him HOw he was exempted from the BM paper as he didn't take the SPM?? Pn Hendon saved the day indicating that he only requires to take the Olevels BM paper and he was SAFE!
After that I was like I don't care what's going on... cause their stories were short ( Like mine) I wanted to bore the wits out of the people there with my talented story spinning abilities but i was afraid that... the judge may point something out and ASK ME infront of everyone! and If I couldn't asnwer that.. and he postponed my call! GAH.. it's not worth it! so I did the minimum.
After that the judge talked about some weird thing... (I still don't know what he meant by that but i assume that it's to encourage us as soon to be lawyers in the profession) he let us Out. and we took our pictures. and then.... we went outside! and I was like a BIG STAR... everyone wanted to take pictures with me ( okay.. everyone that I knew )
Yeap! i'ts the BUAT KERJA sign!
Anyway, that's it about my Long Call!!
I wonder what I'm gonna write after this!?
