Over the past few days... while everyone was expecting to have a good rest over the Labour day public holiday and also the weekend (some took Friday off too so that they can have a longer holiday), I was seriously stucked with works since Wednesday morning. Clients arrived from Vietnam on Tuesday late night and on Wednesday morning, upon receiving their instruction, we (my partner and I) started preparing all our paper works and also filing and getting an Order to restrain a work done by the named Defendant in the suit. It was a hectic afternoon as everyone was expecting to have a great holiday the next day and everyone in the court were trying to avoid "rush-work". As such, we had to tried harder for the things to moved and only by 4:30pm, our case were being heard and Order was only drafted and signed and sealed at around 5pm. It was rush. Our clients were happy about us successfully getting the Order and they left the court after that, to Tawau to serve the said Order to the Defendant. We, however, rushed back to the office and did another piece of work which we need to file it on Friday morning. We thought, after we are done with that on Wednesday evening, we shall be able to have a good holiday the next day.
We managed to get the documents done before 8pm and I rushed for my cell group meeting. Thanks for my other wonderful cell members though... for taking up the last minutes instruction to lead the cell. I am really proud of you all. I went home, took my shower and slept for a few hours.
The next day, I woke up at 6:30am and went for a walk at Bukit Padang with some friends until around 8:30am and after breakfast, I was thinking to get myself a newspaper and go home and relax myself for a while before going for a house warming lunch. However, while I was on my way home, I received a phone call from my partner that our clients sent an SMS to her telling her that they are being locked in a house. She then SMS them back asked if he needs us to lodge a police report. The only replied we got was "URGENT!". We then decided to lodge a police report. Since we alerted both the police in Tawau and Kota Kinabalu and it was known to the Defendant, the Defendant somehow, brought our clients to the police station and told the police that it's just a misunderstanding. Well, our clients are safe and they flew back to Kota Kinabalu right after that.
On Friday morning, we were ordered by the trial judge that we need to server all the cause papers to the Defendant by next Monday and right after the hearing, we received valuable information stating that the Defendant have decided to disobey the Order served on them. We do not know how true that can be so in order for the caused papers to reach Defendant before Monday and to stop them from disobeying the Order, I was forced to travel to Tawau (by First/Business Class though, due to no more seats available at the economic class) immediately. Upon reaching Tawau, we were late, but our clients manage to negotiate with the Defendant. I stayed at home for the whole afternoon, had dinner and left Tawau thereafter after arranged the cause papers with someone else. It's glad to be able to visit my parents. I can see how much they miss me althought I have been quite 'naughty' at home normally. hahaha...
Well, that has made me missed them so much. Hmm... I hate that feeling... especially after I arrived here in KK, being alone... and the question of "why am I not staying there over the weekend" strucks me hard.
Oh well... glad that some really good TVB movies did manage to lighten me and calm me down before I went to bed at 2:30am.
Today, when phone calls rang with regards to works were received, it just took my 'relaxing' moment away...
By the way, sorry and thank you for those who tried very hard to cope with my always sudden and urgent departures which leaves you hard time in finding replacement. If I have the choice, I wouldn't have done that. I mean it... !!!
- past few days! -
