AGAIN, BLACK AND WHITE..OR COLOURFUL?AND THE RESULT IS........

LAW IS COLOURFUL~~

ENTRY 2

It's colourful...It's not only black and white...so I've decided to write in many colours as this blog's layout is already in black and white..I don't want it to look dull and cold...the same thing goes to law..let us as the 25th batch of law students in UKM to colour it and to enjoy learning law here..in my previous entry,I've mentioned that I was pondering whether law is all about black and white...I think, I have the answer by now...

it's true that as lawyers,we have to wear black and white suits, make black and white agreements, so on and so forth...see..even our blog is in black and white...it symbolises law...law,black and white are synonims...I know law looks dull and boring and my friends from other faculties said, "you're wearing black and white again...like tahi cicak!"...and my reaction was,laughing insincerely...however, they do not know, and some of us,as law students do not know that as we go through every topic,with different interesting and fascinating cases, it colours the whole learning process... some of the cases even make us laugh, as the facts are humorous and ridiculous..and some cases are pathetic.. and some are surprising...do you learn the story of a daughter sueing her own mother for not giving her money as in the case of Jones v. Padavatton, daughter held after killing 3 in his family, in other courses in the universities??you can only learn these fascinating cases in LAW STUDIES...I want to share with you a ridiculous case of a horse..

Turnage v. Christy Brothers Circus
144 S.E. 680 (1928)

Nevermind the Monkeys, Watch the Horses!! The plaintiff, an unmarried lady, while attending a circus performance as a guest of the circus, was seated in the front row. During the show, "a horse, which was going through a dancing performance immediately in front of where plaintiff was sitting, ... caused to back towards the plaintiff, and while in this situation the horse evacuated his bowels into her lap, that this occured in full view of many people, ... all of whom laughed at the occurrence, that as a result thereof the plaintiff was caused much embarassment, mortification, and mental pain and suffering ..."

it's ridiculous, isn't it? everyone knows that i'ts not the fault of the Christy Brothers Circus..it's the horse itself who jumped at the plaintiff..could she sue the horse?put the horse in jail or claim money from the horse,instead??haha...Do you get to learn this in Chemical Engineering, Nuclear Science, Mass Communication, or in Computer Science?the answer is NO...you can only find this in law studies..that's why, LAW is very interesting..that is the reason why I said, LAW IS COLOURFUL...

as we all know, reading law is very interesting...however, it doesn't mean that we have to take it for granted..all of the cases need to be memorised, it includes the parties to the suit, the counsels, the judges, the facts of the case, the court held, and the opinion of judges...so, what we should do is we should take it seriously, give 100% commitment and never give up...

Don't just dare to dream, dare to live your dreams. Successful people don't do extraordinary things but they do ordinary things in an extraordinary way. I dare myself to do ordinary things in extraordinary ways to prove that I can get extramarvellous results...and my friends, let us do it together....ALL THE BEST!!

SUCCESS is not FINAL, FAILURE is not FATAL...it is the courage to continue that counts...
