In The Beginning

We are the ones who create the path of our lives. I would like to share what I've experienced myself - a sudden change in life which made me realize life is precious and we need to live it to the fullest.

Being born to two teachers life was not easy in the beginning. True, my parents are the kind that will strive to give their children the best education and I ended up with a LLB Degree.. (???). I still wonder why until today. Originally, I wanted to be a medical doctor with a MBBS but it seems that I failed most of my science subject during SPM and therefore a switch was inevitable.

Thus, working life began with me reading in chambers in a medium law firm based in USJ, Subang Jaya, Selangor named Messrs Soraya Chuah & Associates until I was called to the bar, practice for 2 years, build a partnership with a friend by the name of Faisyal Grewal & Associates and things did not go as plan so I withdrew myself from the partnership and joined the legal service of Malaysia 3 years ago.

My first posting was in Kuching, a small town in the Sarawak (Borneo) where I started to learn bout new things in life, absorbing myself to different cultures, ethnic groups and lifestyles not to mention various types of food I found there. I stepped on Kuching Airport on 3rd June 2006 and I was greeted by Abang Bahrin - a friend I knew through a friend and he showed me Kuching town in his classy Proton Gen 2 (Our local car).

My first taste at mee kolok was in Satok; eventually I ended up with a painful stomach for 3 days huhuhu...surely miss umi's and my sis's cooking. I purposely choose Hotel Kapit in Padungan as the place to stay coz it's near town and I wanted to explore Kuching myself, exposing me to things I've never seen before.

Life was happy for me in Kuching. I have lots of friends but the nature of my work does not allow me to be friends with everyone even though I am friendly. As a Magistrate, I heard cases everyday in court and did remand during weekends. I got used to the new atmosphere in no time with the help of fellow colleagues who helped me a lot in finding me a place to stay as well as other needs. (Thanks to Bryan Mason and his fellow comrades). There I met up with this beautiful girl whom later became my girlfriend ( U can check my photos. Her pictures there) and with all the things that I have I thought that it will lasts forever but it didn't.

Later on I realize, all these things came from HIM The Almighty Allah and if he wants to take it back, He can do so anytime.

I'll share with u the next part soon, how I lost everything I have and I still don't understand until now.

Why when we're in trouble the person or persons who we love so much left us?

We shared laughter together but why not tears???
