Second Semester in Law School

Good Evening Everyone, thank you for visiting my blog.

It’s currently 3.41PM while I’m writing this from my intern desk.

I’m going to continue my entry, this time around in regards to my second semester in law school. Alhamdulillah, I got a good CGPA from my first semester although it’s nowhere close to dean’s list. Anyway, I start off my second semester pretty great because I live with my classmates and friends. The house was a bungalow, divided into four unit for rental. Our unit got 3 bedroom all attached to a bathroom, a bathroom, a kitchen and hall. It was comfortable and pretty modern as well. I rented the single room with an attached bathroom. It was small but pretty decent, the big window facing out the gate which I always look out to see if my parents or brothers have arrived to pick me up. Here’s a picture of my room, I think it was pretty cool.

I live with other 8 housemates which all are very nice. However, I do have some drama with one of my housemate which I think back now, is kind of hilarious. She was just a girl with an attitude I believe, she just never communicate when there’s problem. Nevertheless, she has changed now and I’m glad she tried and did. We are still good friends now. My friends and I would ride her car together to class every day. I remember, we would leave early to avoid having to park far or double park.

This semester as well, I decided to join whatever I can because I don’t wanna miss out any opportunity like last semester. I then join the International Law Club, I highly respect the seniors whom are very smart and have a very good oratory skills. I joined this club’s training once when I was in semester 1 but did not manage to continue because the training was at night and I thought I would focus on mooting back then. In the second semester, I thought of participating in the training more regularly and beside I have my housemate, who is very active in IL club. I would carpool with her every Wednesday night for training. In the end, I still did not join any competition because I don’t think I have the skills nor the knowledge so I just joined as an observer at one particular MUN just to learn more about how the competition go about.

My car parked in front of my rented house in Shah Alam

It was Ramadhan and I remember going to bazaar with my friends but we lost her and no one brought our phones. So, we just wait at the car. I don’t remember the exact date but my father bought me a car which I’m so grateful for, so since then I would drive myself to class and training. However, during the Ramadhan, I would go back and forth KL-Shah Alam because I want to have iftar with my family. I can’t really remember how I manage the traffic though, but I would go out to Shah Alam right after Sahur if I remember correctly.

The examination season kicked in after Raya, everyone were panicking about Contract II because it was a killer subject. Many failed, some got a C but Alhamdulillah I got a B-. I remember having to cancel my answer and re-write it back at the last minute when I realised I got the issue wrongly.

I think my second semester is fine although I wish I could have done better in respect of my studies and participation in extra-curricular activities.

Love,

AK

It's been years!

Assalamualaikum and I hope all of you guys are in good health.

I know I know, it has been very long since my last post.

You know what? I'm typing this while I'm at my intern desk in my office.

UPDATE: I SURVIVE 4 SEMESTER OF LAW SCHOOL OR MAYBE 5 BUT MY FINAL EXAM HAS NOT COME OUT YET.

Anyway, I'll be updating my last 3 years in this one post, hahahaha. Please bear with me. I'll just write whatever I remember though.

Second Semester in Foundation of Law UiTM Dengkil

I finished my foundation with flying colour, nailed the CGPA.

Through out the second semester, I am the co-class representation. I was involved in Event Management Club, made some really cool friends (although now we don't really communicate). But still, I befriend a lecturer too! She's super nice, always treat me to some food. She contacted me from time to time.

I became very close with my classmate, we did a farewell party which I made a really cool montage some of 'em even cried. 

I still remember my first day in Dengkil, I cried because I really wanna go study abroad and not in Malaysia (I am now okay but I’ll try to make it up maybe by joining short term studies anywhere so that I can gather some experience)

Anyway, foundation was really fun. 

First Semester in Bachelor of Degree

Before that, I had to went for the interview; which I still remember the question and my answer.

Why should we choose you? I literally brag my CGPA during foundation, little did I know foundation subjects is like langit dan bumi from degree.

What is the current legal issue you would like to highlight? I mention the issue of e-hailing services like Grab and Uber. Andd I remembered that one person did not silent his phone. He got warning first and he shut the phone down. Unfortunately, it rang for the second time and this time he got an earful from the interviewer. But he made it to law school.

I cried first when I arrived at Melati Kolej, it was horrible, dirty and just not cool. I thought why shouldn’t UiTM at least make a proper accommodation. It was too old, they should either upgrade it or just build a new one. But I survived staying there although I would always go back home every weekend either by train or motorbike with my brother. My housemate are not law students, they are science and mass communication student. They were really nice to me, we went to dinner once together at Pizza Hut Tesco.

I remembered that I voluntarily went up stage to try moot during the moot workshop, girl where did you get this confidence huh? IT WAS HORRIBLE. I said the word in my opinion during my submission, my English sucked and all the bad things but I at least I tried?

I really want to join moot because I thought this is what makes a law student better and also it looks cool on the resume too and maybe I will get to travel. With this stupid thinking, I joined the Interpart Moot Competition, at that moment I had no idea how it works. We got two pretty cool coach but I felt intimidated because they are like on this another level of smarties and they look super mature and pretty an and handsome (which is only my opinion lol). I was nervous so I did not join as mooter only as researcher. I was the captain, the irony. Subsequently, one of my teammate she makes quite a lot of excuses to not come to training (I don’t know if her excuses are legit or not) then, she pulled herself out. I was the one who had to substitute her, her works was super bad that I have to work it all out from the beginning literally the night before our written submission. We even slept at the 24 hours room Law PTAR. It was such a bitter sweet memories.

Then, we successfully submitted our written submission, it was hell. We had to like send-resend-send-resend our memorials to our coach so that everything is perfect. Only at the last moment, we emailed it to the organiser. I remembered it was already 12, at the girl’s college, three of us was feeling super hungry so we decided to order food from this guy making delivery services, Alang Runner. We ate and laugh together in the end.

However, the next day or whatever day I cannot remember. We made a decision not to join the moot. One of our teammate’s grandma was sick, he had to go back to his hometown. Me myself don’t want to proceed because I was supposedly only a researcher so I would not have enough time to practice (I think I was giving excuse because I’m scared). We met our coach and told her so, she said okay. But my one other teammate tried to get us back in the game saying he will come back before the competition and another coach of us want us to proceed. We are just tired I think, it’s our first semester, we are all dumb what do you expect. In the end, we did not join the moot but won the best memorial for Respondent which shocked us the most. We got the certificate and medals too, went for a celebration dinner (with no shame as we didn’t even moot). All is good in the end I think.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I joined the moot-committee. In the interview, I said I know how to handles all the borangs needed for event so I can be a pretty effective committee member. I am not so to be honest, lol. We had the book bazaar thingy, where I help as seller but no one want to buy our so tawar the ais.

I also met some new friends, went dinner with my classmates. I even went to Sushi with one very popular student there hahahha, because I was hungry and asked if anyone wanna follow me, she was the only one volunteered. I also remembered that I went to Pizza Hut with my bags before going back to KL by train using my coupon to treat my roommate from asasi and my new-friend

Then, I had my finals, it was nerve-wrecking because I still don’t really know how it all works. But I passed just fine. Didn’t get a dean’s list though.

WAAAHH, didn’t think it will be this long man. This is only like first semester. Seeing it being like this, I will continue later another day.

Signing off for now, with love

First Sem in Foundation of Law at UiTM Dengkil

Here I am again, trying to write something in my dusty blog.
So, as you guys already aware that I am currently pursuing my study in Foundation of Law.
Actually, I am now in my second semester but yeah I would like to tell a bit here and there about my first semester there.

As usual, the first day and MDS (Minggu Destini Siswa)
Since I never went to boarding school and never being far apart from my family,
I was quite nervous but excited as well.
After queuing up, I got my key and went up to the room.
Well, the room is nice and quite spacious. Got this positive vibes that I'm going to survive here.
My housemate & roommate is cool and nice too.

BUT
The 3-days-orientation aka MDS is such a pain.
I don't get the whole thing. Just one word : LAME
We don't really get to know the syllabus, the place, the rules.
We only get tired and annoyed.
And one more thing, they really need to change the headcount system because we need to wait for hours for the committee to count the student.


I didn't know that class will only start a week after the MDS, hahahahaha.
What else, I ask my mom to pick me up and went home for a week.
On Monday, my first class start at 8am.
I wore baju kurung, my new one.
Damn nervous but I remember that I ask my classmates their names and said hello.
It went well but yeah pretty awkward.

Whatever it is, I remember my first sem as me not being me.
Me wearing baju kurung almost everyday and same black shoes.
Me not having a lot of friends and isolated (I guess so)
But then, my final result came out pretty good where I get to be on the dean's list.
ALHAMDULILLAH.


To be honest, my second sem is much better.
More friends and more exposure.
I will tell you guys more on next post.

Sudden CHANGE ? Medic to Law

Hello everyone ! Hope you guys had a pleasant day today.
This is going to become quite a long post.
After a quite few talking, crying and thinking with myself and my parents, I decided to pursue my study in law. A total change in game. The decision was made a few hours before the UPU (Public Univerity Registration Unit) site is closed.


I really never had the idea in mind to become a lawyer or anything similar. Never once.
My father played a big role here, brainwashed me and what not. I listened but never think about it.
My mom still with her stand for me to become a doctor. I was confused. But then, to pursue medic with my result is hopeless.So, myself  started to think my about my real dream, to talk, to learn other languages and culture and to HELP others. I'm thinking about taking Mass Communication and Languages Faculty.

So then, I was checking what can I got into with my result

Foundation in Science ? NEVER.
Diploma in Science ? MAYBE but I don't want to take the long route..
Diploma in Mass Comm ? YES a perfect match
Foundation in Law ? A MATCH but not my forte at that time.

So, I was like... Okay maybe Law isnt that bad after all.
Took a risk and choose the top 3 choice with Foundation in Law. And choose 4th one with Diploma in Mass Comm. I could not remember the rest.. Since then, I totally remove MEDIC from my mind.
Months waiting for the result, I started to dig through law degree. Well, it wasn't that bad at all !
I started to like it a bit.

While waiting for the offer, I went to school registered as STPM student.
Just in case I didn't get any university offer. My love for STPM started to growth because I got new friends, new beginnings, and a fresh start. I remove all the negativity, even took part in public speaking when I barely know anybody there. Got 1st place :) such a nice experience. I also set up my mind to do the best in STPM and pursuit my degree in Law after.

Few days later, I got a call for Mass Comm interview.. but I became double minded.
If I went and pass the interview, I wont be able to get the chance pursuing my study in Law.
So, again took a big risk. I skip the interview.

THE DAY
The university offer result went out. Nervous but stay calm. A good news !Alhamdulillah
I got Foundation in Law at UiTM Dengkil even though it was my third option. My first option was IIUM Foundation in Law. Syaitan got me again confused and ungrateful.. I was hmmmm
I wanted IIUM, best law school in Malaysia. I also feel very bad to leave my STPM friends, they was very nice and fond of me. All my siblings and parents congratulated me. Told me it was good opportunity.

Of course, it was a such waste to reject the offer.  Halfheartedly  accepted  it and guess what ?!
I learn the hikmah behind all this, I loved it.. law I mean

I planned, we planned but Allah SWT is the best planner.

To be continue.. on how I survived my first semester.

Im confused and feeling weird

So, here I am after a long time.

Done with my SPM and my result was fine enough. *I guess so

Actually I never wanted to pursue science in my further study but then

while im on break after SPM, Ive been thinking a lot.

I started to think why cant I be a doctor ? You know you can do it

and I can help my society in the future. Its a great career.

I cannot help thinking that Ive been living so easy and free that its now time for me to give back to the society. I always feel helpless when I saw people living hard. 

I wanted to be one of those that help my own community. 

But then, it sucks to know that I cannot pursue my study in medicine because ive a Cs in my chemistry.

Ive regretted a lot on why I didnt try harder back then.

Actually I could but its a long journey.

1st  Take foundation in science for 1 year

2nd Take Bachelor in Biomedical sciences for 3 years

3rd Then I can take my MBBS for 5 years

Im only going to graduated when Im like 27 or 28 years old

Thats too old for me.

Now that I wanted to do it, a lot of hardships come along efore I even started. Huh

There's another shortcut which is to pursuit my MBBS for 6 years in Egypt. But people said its going to be hard after graduation because of this and that.

My dad is against the idea of me becoming a doctor because of the time commitment.

Thats all.

Hopefully Ill  become someone that give back to sociey
