The New Rules of Court 2012

Starting from 1 August 2012, there's no more The Rules of High Court 1980 and The Subordinate Court Rules 1980.  It's replaced by The Rules of Court 2012.  After studying, using, memorising the Rules since came back in 2000, somehow, the replacement is making me very confuse into the Rules in Court these days.  One of the significant change of the Rules is that there is no more application in High Court make by Summons In Chambers (SIC).  I was first taught about using SIC for all my High Court interlocutory proceeding by a senior and I remember he reminds me that as long as it's a High Court matter and you need to apply for some interlocutory proceeding, you need to put in SIC instead of Notice of Application (NOA).  But there won't be any SIC now.
I somehow, made a mistake in one of my application in Court and I need to file in an SIC in Court for amendment which the hearing was fixed on the 1 August 2012.  So, in a way, I managed to file the last SIC on the 30th July 2012 and get the last SIC heard on the 1 August 2012 at Tawau High Court.  Proud to realised that I am one of those who survives SIC era and ended it when the new Rules of Court 2012 is implemented.  No more SIC anymore.  No more drafting of it and no more filing of SIC anymore.
And the New Rules has made me filed my first Magistrates' Court Writ on the 3rd August 2012 too.  Messed it up with the fees and the e-filing, but i survived with the new Writ.  Yes.  No more Summons.... it's just WRIT, in Magistrates' Court and Sessions Court.
I do feel like I am once again a newly graduated law student and learning new Rules of Court. hahaha...I guess, somehow this keeps me from being a litigation lawyer still, though I am sucks as one.

New Layout!

I am trying to draw a line in between old and new chapters.  Oh well, we don't usually do that unless something major happen.  But I am drawing it because I have successfully cross over a boundary I wasn't able to for the past 37 years.  Some new achievement in spiritual, in my career, in my life, achievement, emotions, health.  Amazing, with my motto set last year for the year... "Stay alive", I somehow managed to stay alive for the past 7 months.
Great achievement to be able to voice things out and share with great friends about what happen to me.  To be able to share a little bit more about what's my aim, my worries, etc.  A great achievement to be able to put the past behind me and move on.  IT's a great achievement to be able to accept the fact that, it's the church that caused my break down, etc and yet, not blaming it all to them, but to myself, to have such expectation on the church and some leaders of the church.  I should have known when one or two of them told me, pastoral care is to be practice by the priest alone.  It's not something I have known or taught with as a leader for the past 25 years.  Serving in this church is challenging and yet... I am putting a stop to it.
As usual, people who knows me, will know exactly whether what they heard is correct or incorrect.  I hates lies... and for those who lied to me, I am hurt and for those who lied on me, I am feeling even more hurtful.  However, I am drawing this think line now.. to signifies that for the coming future... this will be gone past me like what Jenny Lim did to me.
I will try to keep the motto until the end of the year, with additions sub-motto which states: "- happily" now.  I am happy with my life.  I am contented.  I am satisfied.
I hope this last.

The Past

I took a taxi home as usual and as the taxi arriving my place, I saw 2 girls riding bicycles around and one purposely ran over some waters and having fun.  I got down from the taxi and I realised, it's my neighbour's daughter.  I told my mom about it and we laughed because I also told her 25 years ago, i was the only one riding a bicycle at this neighbourhood as the area was not fully developed yet.  We ponder for a while how fast time flies. hahaha... Somehow, dad had connection with the developer and we move in before even we have a telephone line and electricity provided.  Oh well... it's Tawau. hahaha...
