Awww u guys are so sweet, i would have thought that my disappearing act would have turned off people..I am truly and awfully sorry for not visiting all your pretty homes lately.. just the other day when i quickly popped into one of your blogs, the whole layout was changed, and i thought i went to the wrong blog! I’ll readily get spanking from anyone of you as punishment for my naughtiness.. hehehehe.. *cheeky grin*
Its about 6am on a saturday morning right about now… and i’m suppose to have gotten up early to do some work.. i slept super duper early last night..dead tired..and well was sick for the past couple of days, the usual bout of flu, fever, sorethroat, and headaches.. but despite that i can’t apply for sick leave because i have to replace it..
See how it works is.. this chambering thing.. Its something like how doctors do housemanship?( i hope i spelt it right) i have to do something like training for 9 months for me to get my licence to practice law in malaysia..so in order to do so, i have to attach myself to a law firm to go through with the training. After the 9 months training, i get called to the Malaysian bar and then only i am a qualified lawyer. But then as it is now, people already assume that i am a qualified lawyer eventhough i am just a poor ol’ chambering student.. oh why i say poor ol’ chambering student? Chambies ( short for chambering students) get really low pay and mind you its not salary, but its just allowance.. it can go to as low as RM300-500 per firm, or as high as RM1500-RM1600. I got somewhere in between..*wink*
its been a busy and hectic past couple of weeks.. working environment has been pretty different as well.. the office has very friendly, supportive staff. But for some odd reason, i don’t seem to be fitting in with my immediate colleagues.. now as some of you all know, i am a pretty happy upbeat kinda person.. always smiling, and always happy to have a quick chat with people when i pass them.. but i can’t seem to get that same warmth from people… All of them say its because its a bigger firm than the usual ones i worked in, and well, its inevitable that the environment is like that.. Back then, i could just call up a legal assistant and ask whether they wanted to grab lunch.. But now, there’s this fine,almost invisible line that distinguishes chambering students and Legal assistants(a.k.a LAs’)
And then there’s my immediate work colleagues.. They are really nice bunch, helpful..and friendly too, but also there’s this fine invisible line between me and them.. I’ve always taken pride in the fact that i could mix around with anyone, but for some reason, on this occasion, i can’t seem to feel the same with them.. Oh well, i guess it needs a little more time.. that’s what i keep assuring myself.. after my first day at work, i went home crying, call me a baby or a spoilt brat but i don’t care, because i was so freaked out by the whole work scene.. its different.. extremely different to the one i am so used to… I guess i was intimidated by the fact that there were like 20-30 lawyers and staff support of possibly 80-100 people.. and i was telling myself,
I don’t want to do this anymore, and i want to be a housewife.. Go to the gym in the morning, eat my lunch, go to Tescos in the afternoon, spend a couple of hours milling about.. put up my legs at starbucks and read a book have a cuppa, and then go home cook dinner and then the whole day starts again..
As intimidating as it was, i pushed myself to work the next day.. And then work just started to pile up.. and yeah i still feel absolutely lost, and i am pretty sure, some could be irritated with me because i am pretty slow with the learning aspect of it, but i am hanging in there..i do still occasionally have the thoughts of being the housewife, but i know i have to complete my 9 months…
So to cheer myself up, i bought myself a pointy toed pair of shoes, because the other day i went for a seminar, and i was surrounded by pointy toed shoes, and they all looked so elegant and sexy in it!! I on the other hand, looked like a total drab.. so drabby and slobby..( if there are such words!) Well they don’t look exactly like these ones, but its pointy toed… and yes i am doing ridiculous things like walking around the house in them again..
