A friend called and said I look much happier during that 10 days in UK. Asked me if it ever cross my mind to move over and lives there. I told her it's a holiday and i was enjoying myself a lot. She said I have been to many places but this time round in UK, i seriously looks much happier than any other holiday trips. Oh well.... I cannot deny the fact that UK is definitely a better place for me. I sleep well and eat well every single day while I was there. Even with all the tiredness, I was happy. Even walking along the unfamiliar streets and carrying a heavy camera, I feel good.
This is the 2nd week after I came back and believe or not, I am having food problem, digestion problem, sleeping problem....
I have been doing a research into what i can do to transfer my Malaysia Bar to UK Bar for me to practice in UK for the past 2 years. Ended up, I can do the transfer any time if I wish to. But I am not doing anything about it. I have tried the test set out by the Australia Immigration and noted that I am a skilled worker they wanted very much and all I need is to do proper submission and there, i will be able to stay in Australia and work there. I even started to pace for myself some other option besides practising law, i.e. teaching law in colleges and universities and hence, I have paid to get a LL.M.
I wonder what's the main reason that caused all these serious determination to move out of Malaysia and work somewhere else. If it is not because of my parents, i probably have moved out already. But .... I wonder... why is that so? Well, I guess mainly because I started to realised that it is totally contradicting my practices with the existing laws of Malaysia. Malaysian in general doesn't respect law, more so, lawyers..... lawyers got bullied by rich people. The law ranked lower than money per se. If you have the money, in this country, you can overpowered the law. I experienced opponent (lawyers) who get paid a lot to do illegal and unethical stuffs, even if they know it is wrong in law, they twisted the law. For 8 years now, I endured this. I was so depressed by work and this professions and broke down few years back. I got up, do the same thing again (even though differently), and I wonder, how much longer can I last this time round.
Just when I am about to check out the possibility to get out from here, I returned to UK for a holiday. Bristol is a place I got reminded of my covenant with God once. I was determined to returned to Malaysia for a reason. Obviously, it did not work out fine for the past 14 years. I have failed or is it God who says STOP for now? I seriously have no idea. All I know is, if I continue, I will be crash. I need to look at things from other perspective. In His timing and ways.... and not what I thought it was. May be coming back is WRONG. I don't know.... just when i thought I do not know the direction to Manor Hall in Bristol... somehow, I was directed to Manor Hall on my way down to Broadmead. Stopped by for a short while and I am reminded ... the day I said, "I love Malaysia".
Shall I move on? A question I asked God since 2012. Is this a sign from you to move on my Lord?

The Path!
There are 3 options you can choose to get to your destination and I wonder which way will you choose.
First
You rely completely with your own efforts. You asked for the address, took out the map you relied on and try to find the way to get to your destination. This way, it takes up more efforts because you will need to study the address and the map carefully. In the event that you get to a wrong way, you need to stop by the side of the road, re-check the map again, look at the surrounding and identify which way you need to follow to reach your destination. If you are smart enough, you will find your way, if you are bad in direction, I am sorry, for a journey of 10 minutes, you probably need to allocate 30 to 40 minutes more. If you are in a hurry, I suggest you do not go for this option.
Second
You asked someone how to get to the destination. If their instruction is clear enough and you have roughly been to that area before, chances of you finding the place fast is high. If you have never been to that area and by listening to the instruction alone, you will have the fear of whether you will be able to find your destination. You tend to ask a lot of question, and afraid you will miss a junction or an instruction. You might get to your destination if you just remember exactly the instruction given to you. If you did not, you will get lost. So you will be very careful in listening to instruction, jotting down instruction and going to the destination in accordance to the instruction given to you. You will still call that someone half way through to see if you are on the right path, if you do not have enough confidence.
Third
This is the easiest and definitely non-lossing path. In this option, you bring along someone who has been to the destination with you. In your car, he/she will tell you to stop, avoid the traffic of certain road, avoid some uneven road, etc. and without any worries, you will reach your destination within minutes, if not seconds.
****************
I am not sure which option you choose... on your path walking to heaven. Most people choose the second. Some even the first... and i would rather to choose the third. Jesus has been in and out of heaven.... He knows the best way to go. Why worry? Why not let Him leads you to the destination by just relying on Him and His instruction? Yes! Not just through phone as what stated in the second option. Bring Him in WITH you.
May be it is time to be reminded not to drive around like a crazy headless and aimless creature. Focus, have Him with you in your daily walk, daily lives.

Bible or Law book?
There's this incident where some 'scholars' or 'educated' people who has their reputation built, comment that the person involved should be penalised. Some even said, the leaders of the church should be penalised, by the law of this country and by what a normal society private and public company should do. Those who cannot 'cope' the job / task should be expelled from their current position. Someone who is known by many even posted in the FB seeking 'support' of what he thinks is right to do and he even asked through the post, priest and lawyers what we all think about it. Whether we should report the incident to the authority.
We all know when there's theft break into your house, the first thing you will do is to report police. However, I do come across some people who won't for some other reasons. I believe, everyone handle matter is different. The church and the biblical teaching on this issues are different from what we ought to do too.
Remember the story where a women was found to have committed adultery. People gathered and brought her and everyone says they are to cast a stone on her to punish her (Not so sure why is the man not being brought to be punished). Jesus said those who are without sin can cast the first stone. Everyone left at the end.
I am asking the same, when you are thinking to punish others for their wrong doing, are you, yourself without sin? If you have sin, what rights do you have to punish others? More so, the person who posted doesn't even belong to that 'family'. And i wonder what's right he has to raise such a question and insisted that we deal with the issue his way?
I remember i used to steal my dad's RM100.00 from his wallet. I did get my punishment, from my parents. But thankfully, they did not report me to the police. Thereafter, I never steal even a candy. I have learned from my mistake. I was given a second chance and I grew up and became a lawyer. May be there are family who will report their daughter to the police when their daughter stealed RM100.00 from them. I don't know. I am just being thankful my parents did not.
This is a family issue. Who has the rights to decide what to do to your son and daughter?
Do you want to focus on the book of laws or the teaching of Jesus? It is up to you.
Yes. That's sums up how struggle I am being a lawyer.
