Weird Encounter !!

MANY CONGRATULATION TO BISHOP ALBERT VUN CHEONG FUI!!!

Well, it's a tiring day. I was in court this morning. It's not the court duty that made me feel tired. It's probably the stress that made me have a few sleepless nights that caused all the tiredness. Matters in court today went very well and easy as all my matters were before this SAR (Senior Assistant Registrar) whom by now, know me quite well. I was thinking to take a breakfast and relax a while before going back to office but just before I about to leave, I met an ex-colleague with his client. They sat down and we chatted for a while and this client of his started to 'prophesies'. He started to told us that he receive 'something' from somewhere then and by that, he must tell us what was given to him. So, he started to prophesies on my ex-colleague and talked a bit about me (I didn't bother him much and he didn't want to talk about me). As I know this ex-colleague quite well, we both knew that whatever he told, it's quite true and after he has spoken about the past, he went on with the future. I didn't listen much but I know my ex-colleague believed every single words he has spoken.

The whole thing, it just reminded me about one thing: The Satan is very smart and cunning. I believe, this 'client' is not the only one the Satan uses.

**************************

When I returned to my office. I sent an email to my boss (immediate boss) with regards to one of the court matter tomorrow. I drafted something for him as requested. 10 minutes after that, my senior boss called me in into her room which located just next to me. She asked me what's the case about, and so on. And she commented on my drafting, etc. There and then, she told me that, she can receive every single email we all received or sent. I saw a couple of my friends' emails of course. And she said: "Ask your friends not to email you unnecessary emails". hahaha... I think she was a bit troubled by our emails. We were talking about Faith, about God, about Prayer and others and I guess, she cannot stand anymore. Well, I found that, I couldn't really respect her as my boss. I know she is a very capable person and lawyer, but I just simple can't respect her as my boss. The main reason is that she didn't even know how to respect others. I really hate the way she disregards about others and start smoking in front of me. I was standing next to her as requested by her and she simply just pick up a cigarette and start smoking. Of course another reason is that she read our personal emails and so on.

Overcome

Many people tend not to know how to handle their own emotions at most time. Some, have difficulties in dealing with stress. Some, with tiredness. Some, with sadness. Some, with depression. Some, even with happiness. I, tend to have difficulties dealing with FEAR. I know most of you do not believe what I am trying to tell you. For those of you who know me well, you thought I am fearless. But to be honest, I have this fear in me when I need to speak up, to do presentation, to stand in front of people and so on. OK OK.... I know some of you started to say I am telling the lie now. But I am serious. I always feel fearful.

I still remember when I was young, almost everything I feel fearful about. Noise, things, matters, whatever you can think of. I can even tell you I have difficulties going to a shop to buy stuffs. I scare. I have no idea what I scare of fearful upon. I just feel fearful at all time.

However, as the whole family knew that this is my weaknesses, they trained me up and builded my weaknesses up. I still remember how much efforts my parents and my brother did to me. To be honest, it is not something I can bear. NOPE... it's something that's born within me and that I couldn't chance it, but ... I can improve it. I might not be able to wipe off the fearfulness 100%. But I can tell you, I can at least reduce it. It takes time. I went through training not only as leader, but also commander and other roles that made me finally developed myself to be less fearful to things around me.

I was shock when my dad and mom said they can't seems to understand why I was so daring to stand in front of the court and speak to the Judges. Well, to them, both of them are not someone who is brave and daring, but why am I so different from them. Well, I guess the only explanation is that because I CHOOSE to get myself trained and do better and has less fear.

I believe it is a choice and I believe, time also is a major factor that will ease us and build us up. I asked God a few times why am I not born as bold as others? Why am I like this and that. But I guess, God has His purpose of doing so.

I know someone out there has difficulties handling your sadness. It is not easy to handle. But everyone of us must understand that, we do have choice to feel happy also. Some of you are feeling discouraged today. Why not choose to think otherwise? etc. etc....

Over these few days, I received many news, some very discouraged, some very sad, some made me worried, some make me angry, and so on. .... I am asking myself if this is normal to this world, to everyone. A friend told me, I experienced so much emotions at a time because I know too many people. haha.... funny....!!! But I guess that's why sometimes, you realise I can't adjust my facial expression to whatever you said immediately. hahahahaha....

Well, ... friends, you have a choice..........

“It is unfortunate that most people are completely ignorant of their rights. They do not have the slightest idea of what the police can or cannot do.” … Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz

It is quite saddening when you know that most of the Malaysian doesn't know what the police can and cannot do to them. Unlike other countries, most of them know their own rights well, they know the rules, the law very very very well. Therefore, most of us, Malaysia get bullied by authorities most of the time. I passed this highway on my way to Cheras and I saw a car was detained by a police and the driver was standing outside (don't ask me why) and he seems happy (smiling) while digging out his purse to ... I am not sure then what both him and the police were doing then. I don't really want to care about it.

A few of my friends were scolding the police authorities last Sunday for not picking up the phone. That's one. Secondly, for not transferring phone calls properly. Thirdly that police only came to the premise after 30 minutes of reporting. Fourthly, that we need to make a police report in 2 police stations. Fively, that they only came up to the premise 6 hours after the incident. I was pondering then in my mind thinking: " of course the crime rate is going up. Every robbery knows they can get away just like that because the police is slow".

I do not mean to criticise or defame the police authorities. But I do believe, they can be better. I was scolded terribly by this judge on last monday and I was told later (few days later) that even though she acted as such, no one actually respected her. That's what exactly happen to the police authorities sometimes. A normal Malaysian will never want to involve themselves with police authorities. They wouldn't even want to make police report, etc... because they think they can handle things much better than the police force.

Though I was scolding this friend of mine who was commenting about the police force last Tuesday. I tried to tell her that, as a citizen, we need to do our part in order for the police force to do their part. However, when I 're-think' what I said, and saw a few cases after Tuesday in courts, I felt that I can hardly give them some respect and trusted them. I simply can't understand why.

However, I really happy to see the Red Book is born. But suprisingly.... no one know where to grab a copy of that. I think, everyone should have a copy of this, at least to know about their rights.
