Greetings earthlings,
I seriously do not know what to write about right now. Tomorrow's the Constitution exam and I haven't read a thing. I have Contracts Law tutorial tomorrow and I haven't prepared my answer yet either.
How fast time flies. We're now already in our 6th week (7th including MMP). It seems like just yesterday I was hanging out with my friends in Starbucks, Taiping, without a care in the world. One blink of an eye or maybe two and I'm already having my mid-semester exam in UKM and studying LAW !!!
I would like to reflect on something many have said to me n my fellow coursemates, especially when commenting on something bad we've done.
We hear it all the time.
"You are all future lawyers, how can u all make this mistake?"
"Macam ni ke bakal peguam?"
"Wah be lawyer next time can get a lot of money lo..."
"You all ar, next time going to be lawyer must bla bla bla....."
All of a sudden everybody thinks that all law students chose law because they chose to, because they want to be lawyers, because that's their dream to be lawyers or because they are meant to be law students with their STPM, Asasi, Matriculation or Diploma results.
Of all the fields in the world, I've never imagined myself pursuing Law. As a matter of fact, I've never imagined or dreamt of pursuing anything of that high 'status' either.
I've always been a simple, free and easy-going kid not having any ambitions or dreams, never thinking about what I must pursue, never planning my path to a successful future.
I'm a person who approaches life one step at a time. I never knew what I wanted to do after SPM. When it was time to decide, I chose Form6. I never knew what I wanted to do after STPM, when it was time to decide, I chose Law. Now, I don't yet know what I want to do after getting my law degree (if I ever get it). I don't see myself as a lawyer, or a lecturer, or a judge, or whatever, now. But time will tell.
People in general say that we must 'suffer now in order to enjoy later'. I, however believe that we can 'enjoy now and enjoy later' as well. And if you don't enjoy later, never regret that you enjoyed in the past. I would rather have fun and memorable experiences with a RM1800 a month job than a RM180000 a month job and the only memory of the past is study, study and study.
But that doesn't mean I'm not going to work hard. That doesn't mean I don't care about my studies. I just want to take it one step at a time, enjoying every bit of my life in university while still paying attention to my studies of course.
"Hidup biar lepak, results biar gempak", as the saying goes.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
All play and no work makes Jack a mere toy.
We live only once. You decide.
Entry One.
