My Phone....

This is how it happen. Two days ago, I went to toilet with my phone. Walked into the toilet, came out, and I walked towards the basin, there's a table next to the basin and hence, I put my phone on the table and while I was washing my hands, I heard a 'Doommm' sound and I realised then, my phone just dropped into ... not the floor, but ... a pale of water. ICE COLD WATER! I took it up immediately, took it out from the cover and start drying it with cloth. I switched it off and off I go to meet a friend for lunch. I put it under the sun for a while and then I tried to dried it with cloth and tissue papers. I only switched it on about an hour later. It seems fine... except, I realise later in the afternoon that it didn't function well. Hmm... I still have to switch it on because it's an important tool for my job. I realise it was damaged partly if not wholly, but I only manage to bring it down to the shop yesterday. The moment the shop keeper saw my phone which's still switched on, she scolded me said, "Aiyo, don't you know you shouldn't switch off?" Then she immediately took my SIM card out and also the battery. Then her boss looked at me and said, I am sure you have caused even more serious damage then dropping your phone into the water. ERRRRRR.... They are going to check the device by today and I will know later if it is worth for me to get it repaired.

Otherwise... Hmm... NO NO NO... no iphone. I don't like it for some reasons... !

Headache!

Goodness me.... I seriously don't know what cause my headache... it was pain till I couldn't bear with it and went down to get medicine, still... I still feel the pain now... after the medicine. ERRRRRR....

Well, I went over to my partner's room and I told her about a case ... sounds like... it's the case that caused me headache... or rather ... a few cases that cause my headache????

ERRRRR... I saw another case on the table. A case where I was very reluctant in even lay my hand on it.. i printed them out, but very reluctant to finalist it. Why? I hate the client. That's why and I hate the cases.... No. I am not going to tell you why. P & C.

Judging!

I am not writing this because I am pointing my finger on certain people and starting to judge them or ... I am also not writing this to give myself a reason to judge others. The bible states clearly that, we shouldn't judge. It's easy to say then done ... almost everyday, I am judging people. It's kind of a 'natural' things to do on daily basis. AAaaahhh..... before you start to judge me, may be you should check on yourself if you are also the same as me...

Most of us, we judge a person based on their outlook appearance. Some of us... we can figure out just fine that this so and so is from a wealthy family because she is carrying this branded and limited edition handbag. Some of us can judge a person by saying he/she is from a decent family background from the way he/she talks, and/or from the way he/she walk, the way he/she wears. I don't know about you. Some times, we are just wrong in all those 'judgement' of ours.

I told a friend yesterday that I have 100% confidence on my car... because I do not really afraid that it will get stolen or I being robed. Simple... because even the thieft judged people by how he/she is wearning, what sorts of car he/she is driving to determine whether the person worth his/her life to rob or not.

We judged and most of the time, we judged wrongly. We always thought a person who is a graduates, will think and act like a graduates, but we are wrong. We thought a doctor is smart and intelligent. That might not be too. We thought a lawyer always earn a lot of money and I can tell you I will declare bankrupt soon.... and we thought the higher educated we are, our brain will function to a right direction , but seriously.... I DO NOT THINK SO.

During my interview with some people who came in to look for job, I don't bother much about how much they study and how well they did in their examinations... I will normally ask them only one question. That is, what can he/she does to impress me. As long as the person can impress me with his/her ability to learn more, humble and teachable heart... and willing to sacrifies some time to do extra works, I don't care if he/she is a brilliant student in school or not.

Seriously, I don't like people always think they are more 'highly' when they are doctor, specialist and a successful accountant, businessman. SO what if you are those but your thinking is like a primary school boy? See... don't get me wrong... I am not judging here... I am speaking the fact. I must say, I am disappointed... very disappointed with some people's 'brain'. A brain that was supposed to have gone through years of training to increase to a higher and better 'power of thinking' and yet... it's still in primary school level. hai...

I just judged didn't i? hahaha... see what I meant?

2cm

I am not sure sure what 2cm means to you. Is it high? low? wide? narrow? big? small? Well... I went to get my partial custom made ankle support from the KK Prosthetic Center and when the prosthetist saw my working shoes... he looked at me and asked if I ever have plan to buy a new pair of shoes. Well, I said I did ... just want to know if the ankle support can fit into any of the shoes first. Well, he then explained that my shoes should be as even as possible and so I asked him if I shouldn't wear shoes with heels at all and he told me, "No. You can wear... but best not exceeding 2cm". My immediate respond towards his statement was "isn't that means, NO?" hahaha... well, of course I didn't speak it out. Otherwise, I think he will scold me again for even thinking of wearning something with heels.

I thought the ankle support will fit into any of the shoes, but ... it didn't. I went home tried with my walking shoes, it didn't fit. So, I went to see them again this morning with my walking shoes and they manage to fit the support into my shoes. It's good really.... just that I wonder... what can I use when I am not wearing a shoes... Hmm... Oh well... guess what? He again mentioned, that I should get another pair of working shoes... goodness!!!! The next time I go, I better show him my NEW shoes...

So... 2cm? Any court/covered shoes with heels not exceeding 2cm? Oh no... and I have to search for one soon??????? OH NO!!!!

Flatfoot?

I went for a doctor review about my operated ankle last saturday. It's suppose to be a review but as I feel the same pain came back when my wounds are almost fully recovered, I told the doctor and after checking, he think I have a problem with my ankle. He think the only thing that will help me to feel less or even no pain is to get a ankle support (Custom made). Hence, he suggested I first get my foot scanned first at KK Prosthetic.

After I left the hospital, I went to KK Prosthetic, to get a scan done on both of my feet. It only took me 10 minutes to get the scan done and while a Prosthetist has taken another 15 minutes to check through my ankle after he has seen the computerize report. Well, he looked at me with a serious face and asked if I know what happen to my feet. Oh well... the computerize report says: Defective medial longitudinal arch or severe flatfoot. He asked if I know I have a flatfoot. I did actually as the physiotheraphist did told me before, so I answered him, I know. But he look at me and asked if I realise it is quite severe. I said I don't. He then told me, it has somehow caused my other feet to be in trouble too. Hmm...

He further commented that, luckily I am not a very fat person, otherwise, I would not be able to walk even now. So, he did suggest that I get a custom made ankle support. He then suggested I get the cheapest one (RM650) instead of those fully custom made (in accordance to the structure of your feet). Oh well... all that's in my mind was... (do I have any other choice). Apparently.... I was told also by the doctor, the physiotheraphist and this Prosthetist that.... NO OTHER OPTION IS AVAILABLE.

Hmm... well... *sob sob* I have a flatfoot!!!!

To known or not to be known...

It was a conversation between me and 2 other friends about 9 years ago that I was being reminded today. One of them... was from a well known family in Singapore and another, was from just a businessman's family. I asked that question then was because I felt so much being in England then as no one knows me of who I am and I achieved to a level where almost everyone in Bristol knows about my existence. So, I asked them, if it is better to be known or better to lives a life where no one knows. I seriously like my life in Bristol so much... no one 'give face' to me because of who I am. No one will point to me and expect me to do something because I am so and so's daughter, or so and so's sister. I was so happy then.... of being who I am.

Since I came back to Malaysia, life was 'back to the original'. I was referred to as so and so's daughter, and so and so's sister... until I came to Christ Church Likas. hehe... well, not to say no one knows... just a few knows... which is better than EVERYBODY knows... You know what I mean?

Seriously, since I am a lawyer, I am feeling so contradicting my own 'thinking' sometimes... I want to be known as a good lawyer, but I don't like people to know who am I. Some people, happen to prefer to know a person's background, ie. who's their parents, whether he/she has was taught well by their parents, etc. etc. etc. in order to judge a person whether the person is someone 'worth' their trust or friendship.

I found this, very disturbing lately .... So, I wonder... if those person will consider me, as their friend.. as I don't think I am from a weathy family, and I am not PERFECT, i.e. I have done something wrong before and I have a very bad characters and attitudes... so so? ... what do you think? You think I can be considered as those people's friend? Hmm....

Well, if they take consideration of my background, may be.... you know why? ... ya... I have a very good background... hahahaha.... so? is that how I should be judged?

Hmm....

Random Thoughts!

1. I was sitting at Secret Rep. this afternoon for lunch... and my mind wander around... and rested on one of the day when I was in court the whole day, ... and during lunch time, where I was to take my lunch somewhere near the court (at that time, near Jalan Raja). A friend suggested we should go to Secret Rep instead of the 2 shops where we all had our breakfast at after court matters. That was the first time, I had my lunch at Secret Rep. Seriously... I was only receiving RM890 per month (after deduction of EPF) and when we sat down at Secret Rep, I was looking for the cheapest food to fill my stomach. Pumpkin soup that was... I still remember. I started to count my blessing while I was in Secret Rep just now... because I almost visited the same place at least once a month now a day.

2. I reached court about 30 minutes before the court starts and I did planned to come into office before going court just to send a letter to a lawyer. However, as I woke up late, I went to court straight from my home instead. Well, since I was early, I took out my ipod touch, switched on the Wi-fi and yes, I got myself connected to internet. After sending my boss an email, I wrote an email to this lawyer and it was done within minutes. I guess because I was early, the court somehow called my case first. How nice....

3. I have a few matters in my table recently. One of which I hated the most as it was seriously contested. However, I received my opponent's notice of application yesterday (sealed) that they would like to discharge themselves as the Defendants' solicitor. At this stage (submission stage), I am really looking forwards to get a judgment for you client. Just because of the case not going to trial, I have lossed big money. But somehow, I still want a judgment for my client instead. No wonder I am poor huh? hmm....

4. I have this contested divorce matter next Friday and seriously, I have never done a contested divorce before. I am sure it is not going to be hectic as next Friday was for mention, but I guess, somehow, I am stressed.

5. This morning's case... I knew the Judge is going to give me a date which is the same at my trial dates in Labuan, I can just accept the date and ask for extension again for my Labuan's case. But I was reluctant. Don't ask me why. Most probably because the Labuan's case really annoyed me....

6. I have been thinking of 2 similar incidents where, I was deeply hurted and sad, but is still being blamed for responded in such manner. Well, I admitted it's my fault, but my heart still hurts... but who knows and who cares?

7. I am suppose to finish 2 pieces of works by today, but ... I am here blogging about my random thoughts... how terrible!

Attitude!

I cannot remember how many post of mine before this was also about 'attitude'. Well, I guess not everyone understand how much different attitude with people in Malaysia compare to other western countries unless you have been to the other wester country before. Hence, many have the opinion that my post was just about my own point of view. Oh well, I admit that, it was indeed, my own opinion.

I went into this government hospital with another friend yesterday. We need to get 3 doctors to issue a letter to transfer my friend's grandfather case to Sandakan. Of all 3 departments, I was seriously found it 'bizarre' as we got 3 different responds of which, one of the respond was beyond my expectation as it really arouse my anger towards them. Well, my friend was great... she played along with them while I really controlled myself not to speak a word. What happen was, we went in to the first department, and the nurse was helpful enough to tell us what we should do, etc. So, we went to the 2nd department and we saw 3 nurses at the receiption. We stood there for about 1 minute before one nurse looked at us (they were sort of BUSY of their own thing, including cutting papers, talking on phone and so on) and asked us what we want. My friend was kind enough to speak in her always soft and sweet voice, telling her we need a letter from this doctor and so on. The second nurse looked at us after we said that and started with her respond asking us to bring my friend's grandfather to the hospital to see the doctor first. I guess, she probably didn't hear us mention 'grandfather' or rather, may be... she thought all senior citizen has the ability to move around easily. We stressed the point that my friend's grandfather is moving over to Sandakan this Friday and well, we got 'shot' though... by the nurses by saying "Huh? why so urgent? Cannot lah like that, he has to come and see doctor before transfer mah. Why didn't make proper arrangement earlier?" etc. etc. etc. Well, I guess she suggested that, we have to get the PERMISSION from the doctor of such moves. I was really angry when I heard that and I really told the nurses, it's a sudden, urgent and immediate decision of this to move and therefore we are here to request for the letter. The nurses looked at me in one kind and giving a very annoying look on my face suggesting that "small girl, you know who you are talking to?" and so, I asked if it is possible for us to meet the doctor now. Obviously, they refuses by saying the doctor wasn't around and they only be able to give us an appointment next week if we can make it. OBVIOUSLY.... my friend's grandfather is leaving on Friday so, how does next week's appointment matter?????? My friend kind enough to say 'thank you' to those 'kind' nurses and we left to the 3rd department. It only took 2 minutes for us to explain our case to the 3rd department and the nurse was really helpful enough to tell us she will look into the matter. She got my friend's number and we left.

The above incident has somehow reminded me of the complain lodged against the same hospital many weeks ago. The complain was about the time the hospital took to see the patient and the time the patient waited to get his/her medicine. Well, after the first complain, the following complain was reported together with photos. Hmm... seriously, when the nurses at the 2nd department were making those kind of 'explaination', I really wanted to snap a photo of them...

Of course, ... my anger was cooled down by my friend... who really good to play along with them. hahaha... Oh well.... terrible attitude!
