I always believe that people should be given a second chance in life. Being a Magistrate before, I saw faces of those who came to court to answer their charges and I can say some of them are very remorseful for what had happened and pray a chance to begin a new life.
As for me, I wonder whether other people will treat me the way I treat those who come to my court. Will they be as reasonable and calm as I would be when my time comes? Or I will be treated badly like before? People don't remember the good things that you did in life but they sure wont forget the bad things.
I can only pray to Allah that some good men out there will help me out. Like what they always tell you - don't loose hope, believe in faith.
Nite all..

Wind of Change
Tomorrow after a long holiday, I'll be returning to work. I called my boss and asked his opinion on my current situation and he told me to come to the office and have a chat with him. I am out of resources for the time being. Too many things hanging inside my mind and if possible I wanna break out of all these things. But I'm facing life like a man, responsible for what ever things I did before and try to make amendments. I bet you sure wanna know what happened to me right?
Well, I can say something unfortunate happened to me when I was in Sibu, Sarawak and now after a year that matter arise out of no where and left me stuck making tough choices which eventually will decide my future in the government service. Should I step down and resign or maintain whatever I have and hope to achieve the possible? A very hard one to decide...
Only time could tell and hopefully then the wound will dissipate.

A Poem About Us...
Lawyers
You listen to me hearing only legalities
your words cut like a knife
giving little hope, no promises,
just the facts,
the precedents.
But first things first,
sign this contract,
'Yes, blood will be fine.'
I want every dime.
I wonder how you sleep at night,
representing whether wrong or right
you tell me it is everyone's
right for council, defense.
Your ethics require you to
represent your client
to the best of your ability.
I loved a lawyer once,
can't call him a man
because what he was first was his profession.
I though he was different
thought he had a heart, feelings
not like the rest of you sharks
I was wrong.
He used me, abused me
and because of the power of his esquire-ship
I became the victim
of injustice.
'Prove it,' they said.
Why do the innocent have to prove
innocence
while the guilty are so protected?
Who in Hell is there to protect me?
The Bill of Rights? Its meaning long since died.
I saw a young man get gunned down in
his prime,
the assailant got a year in prison.
The crooks in Washington steal our money,
make deals that destroy this country and the working class
all for their own profit. They don't go to jail.
Karma's gonna get you, promise.

A Beautiful Poem
This is a poem taken from the internet. I can't remember the author's name but it sure is a nice poem.
Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot,
Who calls you back when you hang up on him,
Who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or
Will stay awake just to watch you sleep..
Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead,
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats,
Who holds your hand in front of his friends,
Who thinks you're just as pretty without any makeup on.
One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and
How lucky he is to have YOU..
The one who turns to his friends and says,
The her my darling, YOU....

A Change In LIfe Perhaps?
Yesterday I met one of my colleague at his office and he asked me whether I am willing to leave the Government service and join his firm as a partner. I am thinking deeply and true enough I am tired with the hassle of working with the judiciary. It does involve a lot of stress lately and of course like anywhere in this world a lot of politics. From my point of view it is either you join them or you leave. Being in the middle will not do any good for you. But if your bosses favour you then you wont find it hard to gain promotions.
Need to wait for another few days then I'll decide. Like what I used to tell my friends, losing a government job or resigning is not the end of the world. There are a whole lot of opportunities out there and they are waiting for us to grab them. Even Bangladeshi and Indonesian can prosper well working in our country why cant we?
A thought to myself, hmmm if I could turn back time; most probably I'll reject the government's offer and continue with my own firm.
