alright.

how to cram part of ma 5 months' life all in one go.

Many things happened over the past few months.

Things changed. People changed. Everything changed. I have changed as well, to the better or worse; wa tarak tau.

All I know I have gained many invaluable experiences and part of me feel so grown up! I don’t feel like a seventeen, oops I mean eighteen years old kid anymore. Suddenly I feel so matured. I am maturing I guess, and aging as well.
Two more years to come, the figure one will change to the figure two. Sigh.

Working life is a turning point for me and it is definitely a big YES YES! Haha.

For I have learned so much. I have been working in this legal firm (*name undisclosed to protect the rights of the company, otherwise they sue me back).

It’s just so cool working in the legal firm. For a start, I was given this divorce’s case where I had to read up the whole stack of the love messages from the so and so (you know what I mean; the M_ STR _ SS). Sort of eerie to think about it now but I was amused. Really really amused by what they wrote and the way they described it. Enough said.

I had to do what a receptionist usually do; opening letters, answering calls and the list goes on and on. Heck, I suck in answering calls. Don’t remind me of that. Then, I had to draft the letters and affidavits, photostating the authorities and finding for files. Sounded a lil’ too boring aite? But it wasn’t that bad after all. Thanks to my short term memory loss, I could spend hours looking for one bloody file because I could hardly remember anything. LOL.

Also, I was given the opportunity to attend clients, TWICE!

And to help in preparing a questionnaire for the old folks which is more to like a charity’s work. I hope I could do more than that.

Even till today, I still couldn’t quite believe myself that these people actually believing in me and given me such a great responsibility to handle such tasks. I have no experience, I have nothing. I could have messed up everything, caused trouble, etc and etc.

Ain’t I’m just so lucky?

What I gained is more than I ever expected.

There was once, one of my colleagues jokingly said I’m the receptionist. i'm the secretary. I’m the accountant. I’m the clerk and I am the young lawyer.

To make it short, I was lucky enough to be given the chance to try to do everything.

I spent happy hours enjoying myself at work, trying to catch up as much as I could and by the time I arrived back home it’s gone seven. I still wonder how time went.

I could not resist of making mistakes, but from there I learned to be more observant and extra cautious. I mean, working life is a totally different story. I always thought that when you treat someone whole heartedly, they’ll treat you the same. But what I noticed; some people are selfish. Some are hypocrites and some even envious when you get all the attentions. They want to see you fall, get scolded, make all the mistakes and not even bothered to help. In fact they’ll laugh. In front of you, they acted like an angel; but behind your back, they revealed their true self- a real demon!

Bloody hell.

I still don’t get the point.

When you are smart, people look up to you and respect you.

You are nothing if you don’t have the brain.

Realistic isn’t it?

The first few weeks were a total blast.

I couldn’t remember much thanks to my tiny brain cells. *cough

All I remember was that one of my bosses a real gentleman and another way too slumber. *winks

I remember how dumb I was when at first I thought I like my boss. Now to come to think about it, it’s more to like admiring and treating him as a role model. I was totally charmed by his EVERYTHING, maybe not everything. But almost everything!

My colleagues on the other hand, I don’t really know how to describe them. There are the ugly and the good sides. Sometimes they are very kind, sometimes not. Sometimes humorous, sometimes way too serious. Whilst some a bit too fussy, some just happy-go-lucky type. They can be sort of selfish at times but most of the time I think they’re great people. A lot of dramas; like talking behind your back, whining and stuff like that. But other then that, I love and enjoyed seeing them, laughing out loud.

As my ‘trip’ comes to an end, I somehow started to have mixed feeling about leaving. On the flipside, I miss all my friends. I can’t wait to hang out with them, catching up with each other, chit-chatting and cracking all the not-so-funny-jokes.

I wonder what’s up with everyone?
