Its almost 5 months since I stepped out of campus life. Nothing really interesting happened after that and life's been pretty dull ever since. Oh, I signed up for a gym membership, with hopes to be fitter in say.... 6 months? Or is it too ambitious? Time will tell..
Early this month we had our graduation ceremony, and it was nice to see familiar faces again. So there we were at Dewan MAS, everyone in their blue robes looking their best and ready to collect our scrolls from the Sultan. Instead of sitting down politely in front of the VIPs, we cracked jokes non-stop with the guys around us. We were definitely noisy, happy and excited. The ceremony was indeed a big milestone for all of us. To me, the most touching moment was when we had to sing 'Biru Warna' for the final time. I seriously felt like crying, I felt really sad. Everybody sang their hearts out and obviously, we sounded damn good! The song marks the end of our journey as students, and we are now adults entering working life.
Its also sad because that would be the last time I would step into UUM. I'll miss that place. But my mum said its not the place that I'll actually miss, its the people you met and spend time with there. True enough. My course mates, my seniors, my juniors, that person who made me feel important, people who still owe me money, and those people who hated me for God knows what reason. I'll definitely miss them all. And I'm glad I spent an extra day to spend time with the guys before we parted our ways. It made me happy because I have awesome friends! :)
It was pretty tiring trip as I drove back and forth twice in 2 weeks thanks the the cumbersome process of the collection of the convocation robe. As I reached home, I was down with flu and sore throat. Soon enough I had the whole package, coughing, headache, fever and so on.. I was sick for at least 10 days. :(
Most of my friends are already working by now, and I'm still happily slacking at home. It kinda sucks when your parents have that certain expectation for you to do certain things, and I think its my duty as a son to keep them happy. Well, the A-G Chambers doesnt seem to be responding my application anytime soon, so I'll have to look for a firm to chamber then. What other choices do I have? Its sad being a law graduate, really.
Initially, studying law wasn't really my cup of tea and now I'm starting to think what other career I could look forward to if I had taken another course instead. Before I entered KDU College in early 2006, my aim was to do business, or even engineering, but somehow I went for law instead. Parents expectations, again? *sigh*.. That doesnt matter now as I am a law graduate, with a law degree and I am proud of my accomplishment after 4 years of torture up there in the north. But I dont feel excited at all about working life. Again, what other options do I have? There's only three I can think of. Firstly, to join the AGC. I applied, but they don't seem to want me, yet. Second, to do chambering. Well, am looking for firms now. But the problem is, those good firms are all in KL, but i don't want to that travel far. Listening to my mum and bro's complaints being stuck in traffic jams for hours everyday made me think twice. Third, to continue with masters, which is already too late as the intake was held last month. The idea of furthering my studies seems insteresting to me, too.
Its time to hunt for a firm then. But I feel sooooo lazy to hunt around.. hahaha!
