Aru's Charity Run

Mid-term is approaching, so before facing the arduous pile of questionnaire, I serves in myself for some charitable work. This might sound silly, but I do believes in karma *chuckle*. And since Aru was lack of assistance for the weekend, he so requested few of us commit in the sympathetic event. The main concern and objective was to allow us to participate and exhibit the generous ethical representing the whole law student in Inti. Unfortunately only 3 person(me, Ang and Jojo) was available for the charity drive. Nevertheless, the rest had very much contribute some cash or necessity for the fortuneless family. The family had to rear a 30 years old crippled girl who carried the one-of-a-kind disorder ever since childhood. Public were compassionate for the family after the press report on SinChew. Few thousand of cash are donated through Mr Aru, my tort law lecturer, as well as ADUN for Rahang. The church had also donated some electronic appliance. Of cause, I wasn't just go there to show how tenderness I was *giggle*, me and Jerry both give away some of our old clothing and necessity. Aru was a great person indeed, the devotion towards the people, the distress and support for the poverty, he is in his 65 now, yet, the spirit to serve never dead, and he indeed deserve the respect and veneration. It would be the constituency loss if Aru would have be deprived of the next election(touch wood). Now back to the scene, two Chinese reporter from SinChew daily was hit up for another press report. Each of us was interviewed, and I was very awkward during that session, but lucky the fella was not interested in taking my photo(I know I'm not good looking). As you can see below, I've taken some picture on the condition of the house, Jojo was so compassionate after seeing it that she almost weep out, but for me, I've seen family in worser condition, it's appreciable that they have house and shelter. The huddle took around an hour, following we went for a deepavali visit in Aru colleague's house. Yeah the house was not luxurious, but it's neat and well-ordered with customary Indian style decoration, serve with scrumptious cuisine and snack. The housewife are very courteous and friendly as well. To sum it all, I would probably express some acknowledgment for Mr Aru for bringing us to such an experience. Nevertheless, serving for the poverty or ills should be obligated as the member of the citizen. What if you're in their position and without any aids, try to think about it=).

Lagal Career Convention

Ang had follow me along so I would have a companion during the trip, since most of my classmate are not going to take part regarding that most of the firm that join the conference are located in KL area. And yes that is the only issue holding me back, still I linger on with the trip. Not much student had participate, most of them are first year student, and thanks to this, I had the chance to associate with my fellow junior and colleague. The conference started around 9:30, and we are right on time. For the first few session there's talk of from the Bar Council, where student may get the idea of what is BC and what require for the admission to the Bar. As for me, I was busy searching and query on every law firm seeking vacancy for my internship. Few renowned law firm have participated in, e.g Shook Lin & It's my 5th semester in the law course, and I had not at any time engaged myself in legal learning employment or practice. That goes the same with most of my classmates. And with Mr Priya around to keep urging us to obtain our attachment letter in order to acquire recommendation from lecture in University application, I got no choice but to start seeking for a convenient firm. And it so coincidence that there will be a Legal Career Conference on the week itself, the venue was University of Malaya Law Faculty. Without much hesitation, I invite AngBok, Thomas Phillip, Michael Chai & Co, Albar & Partner, Sreenevasan Young, Azman Davidson & Co etc. And what surprised me is that even auditor firm had participated in like KPMG, one of the biggest accountancy firm in Malaysia. I've enjoyed the talk from Thomas Philip and Shook Lin, Thomas Philip is a firm whereby they only major in litigation, and they only focuses exclusively on dispute resolution and is geared to become the foremost litigation firm in Malaysia. They also invite some Human Rights NGO. It's Concurring that I was able to bump into Evelyn, my form 6 friend who is currently doing her 2nd year law in UM. Hereinafter, we invite Marisa to come over to Law Faculty to have some chat. Evelyn was doing well, and from the way I notice, Evelyn would more likely enter conveyancing or corporate field, who would prefer to be low profile, and speaking of corporate, yea I have a wild dream on it. Before the leave, we drop by to the cafe near Law Faculty to have some beverage. And later following lunch counter at McDonald. Well that's how the Conference go, meeting the learned lawyer, experience how a chambering student or fresh legal practitioner would have require. Indeed it's worthwhile.
