Seriously, I don't get humans. I probably never will.

Stop hating.

I understand why people hate lawyers. Maybe its the inferiority complex some people have, that when someone strides into a room wearing suit, shoes and a briefcase that would cost normal waged people their monthly salary.

Yes, I kid. Lawyers don't generally earn that much. There are a top few, but if you want money, be a businessman!

I'm talking about being a defence lawyer. And people who say things like "man, this should have never gotten to court, stupid lawyers defending that obviously guilty man, obviously only hungry for his money."

=_=

Here in NZ, if some dude comes to you and hires you to be their lawyer, there are only 4 exceptions to decline. Declining to act on the basis of your own morality is NOT an exception.

Ok, if let say...you were to kill someone in broad daylight, in the sight of 20 witnesses. Just because you hated him. Wouldn't you want to spend less time in prison, even though you were obviously wrong? That's where lawyers come in. Lawyers are the hired guns. You pay them to get you off. You pay them to exhaust every avenue, and you pay them for their mind. Not their morals. Would you like your lawyer to stand up in court and say "your Honour, on the basis of the evidence brought before me, I do believe my client is guilty" ?

Every person that is brought to court, can have their day in court. And that is fair. Stating this, I am not referring to the trial process, merely the idea that everyone should be able to state their side.

Its important that people make distinctions between the person on trial, and the lawyer acting on their behalf. The arguments the lawyer may come up with may be incredulous, implausible and bordering on stupid. Can you blame them when their client is so wrong that they have (almost) no case at all? Now whose fault is it that?

And if lawyers don't attempt to exhaust most/all potential avenues, they will be open to being sued for negligence.

-_-

And I, have great respect for defence lawyers. Just not the people that they defend, mind you.

Flu?

My lecturer has cancelled lectures two days in a row...

We're speculating it might be swine flu. Lol.

Apparently a researcher at Otago University did a research, and 92% of us are likely to get swine flu by the end of the year. Wooooo :D

Fashion

I know its all the rage at the moment to wear tunic-like tops with pantyhose....but I don't quite get how it works.

Basically the tunic top goes over, and covers your bum, kinda like a dress no? So its semi decent right?

Quite a few of these people are wearing tunic tops...seriously, it really looks like they've forgotten their pants. The tunic top JUST covers their butt. It might be justified if they wear leggings (its almost like pants...but this is arguable). But some just wear pantyhose. And tunic tops that don't cover their butt properly.

O_O seriously. Mini skirts look sooo modest compared to all of that.

Blessed

I was sorting through the junk in my room that has accumulated during my exams/work experience... and I was surprised at how many random things I had. Didn't get frustrated at the mountain of clothes I have, or the random jewelry I never use anymore, I just thought to myself how blessed I was :).

I'm not rich enough to spend money on whim on clothes at roxy/portmans, or shoes at wildpair. My room isn't big enough to hold my possessions, and my closet isn't a walk-in one that I would love to have in the future. I don't have enough shoes (to my liking) and my clothes are not always 'in fashion'.

Some time we need to focus on the things we do have.

I have my family, friends that care, and a wonderful boyfriend :).

I am blessed :).

Things I miss

I have not tasted kaya in...5 years now?

That is until my dad brought over a can of tinned kaya, and I got hungry enough to make myself a toasted sandwich with kaya and margerine...and what can I say, it is a marriage of the most delicious kind :D.

Sigh, the things I miss from Malaysia...mostly its the food - the cheap meals, the authentic laksa, proper seafood, kolo mee, the over msg-ed keropok, the list could go on.

When I come back for a visit, I am going to eat myself silly :D. Hopefully all the food courts are still where they are!
