Chambi oh Chambi
Hish, there is supposed to be an 'e' at the end of each word up there.
You know what they stand for?
Chambie - Chambering Students
Why oh why? Because they made me lose my temper...this is Idza ok? To my unimates, have you ever seen me lose my temper throughout 5 years of law school and 1 year of honors? Even once?
To my chambiemates in SD, have you ever seen me lose my temper throughout my 9 months of chambering?
How bad was it sampai ME, can lose my temper and throw a freaking fit? It was bad. I tell you. I am being bulied, bullied by these kids....
Instance 1
Me : Can you prepare the notes of evidence for this one day of trial? I will do the other 2 days
Chambi: I can't do it because I am doing work for Partner X, Partner Y, Partner Z
Me: I understand that but I need you to do it, its just for 1 day, I will do the other 2 days
Chambi: Owwwh, I can't promise you
And then I am like (Huh, I can't promise you? Is this a date? Are we in a relationship?)
Me: Can you please do it?
Chambi: Can you get someone else to do it? There are new chambering students today.
Me: But you attended the trial?
Chambi: I really can't do it
Me: ???????
Instance 2
Me: Where are my Notes?
Chambi: I don't know
Me: Ok, Who is doing what?
Chambi: I don't know, I am doing 1 clip, I do not know who is doing the rest
Me: Huh? I gave you a whole cd, why can't you just do the whole cd?
Chambi: Owwwh, we have all been transferred to the *&^$^) department, I have a lot of (*&(*^&%$ work
Me: ??????? (does that answer my question?)
__________________________________________________________________________________
And the list goes on ad infinitum...
1. Does not revert with work given at the deadline specified;
2. Dahla tu, tak revert lepastu tak dtg jumpa kata tak dapat revert and ask to be given more time;
3. Dahla tu, kita pulak kena kejar diorg cari sebab nak tanya apa jadi dengan kerja kita;
4. Amboi, kul 6.30 dah balik nampak, dahtu amende yang ko sibuk sgt tu?
5. The rudeness, the lackadaisical attitude...
Macammana aku tak marah, tell me? And it is not just me, I have not even started on the nightmares others have been through when it comes to these little monsters.
And I think to myself, I chambered not so long ago and never would it cross my mind to pull these stunts off because:-
No.1 - I am interested in learning
No. 2 - I would know that learning is never an easy process
No.3 - My parents thought that rudeness is not an acceptable form of behavior to anybody
I had a chat in Court today and apparently most of my friends from other firms are also suffering from this as well.
What is going on?
What is happening to our younger generation? And yes, at the rate these monsters are acting and the difference during the time when I chambered, I must be very old indeed.

Best Friends, heart and soul
I have only ever considered 2 people as my best friends. Sam (I am still searching for her) and Huda.
Huda I still keep in contact with.
We don't fit in the category of what 'best friends' are.
We don't hang out very often. Since I got married, we met each other less and less, when she got married, even less. But it does not affect us. Have you gotten that mass e-mail about where when you don't speak to a friend for a week, and then a month and then a year and you find that you have less and less to talk about? Our distance, never affects us. I can drop from her radar and she can drop from mine for like months and months and when we do have the time for a chat, we speak for hours about everything, no awkwardness due to the lapse of time, no shyness..nothing. It's as if we never stopped speaking during those months.
We understand that by getting married, we have responsibilities to our husbands and family and they always come first, I do not pressure her to make time for me or put me first and she does not either. There is no pressure to commit. She is in my mind and I am in hers... we never get 'terasa' with each other, because there are no sky high expectations about one should do for the other and there is no doubt about the bond that we share. We do what we can when we can.
When I got serious with Aries, I took him to see her first. She saw him and met him before my parents ever did. Why? because her approval of him was important to me. I remember asking her "ko rasa dia ikhlas tak?". And she says "Ntah, tapi dia nampak macam serius, ko bagilah peluang dekat dia". So I did.
When I got engaged in Sg Siput, she was with me all the way. Saw Aries' mom put on the engagement ring on my finger. She fixed my tudung, helped me tidy my grandma's house. When I got married, she was by my side throughout. She sat behind me during my nikah day. Slept with me the night before the wedding. Walked by my side to my pelamin. When I got pregnant, Huda went with me for my first ever checkup at the Klinik Kesihatan. She was there when Aries was not.
When she wanted to get engaged, I was the first person she told. Same as when she wanted to get married. When she went under the radar for 3 months, I knew in my heart she got herself preggers, hehehe. And then tetiba dia on handphone, preggy confirmed!!! hehehe
Why am I writing about this? Because she gave birth to a wonderful baby boy weighing 2.75 kg on Tuesday morning. When she was in labor, I was the first person she called in the afternoon of Sunday. She is not the healthiest of people. So her pregnancy was risky. I got worried. But I did not want to go there to the hospital all whiny and crying. I would be of no help right. So we sms each other all day. Night came and her labour did not progress. I was so worried I could not sleep. I ended up sleeping at 3.30 am. First thing I did when I woke up was sms her, only 1 cm dilated. She was going to be induced... so by the evening dah start sakit. And then night-time, I lost touch already. I smsed and called and got so worried sampai Aries cakap "Buat apa nak risau, biarlah husband dia risau". I told Aries "I have known Huda longer than her husband knows her, and she has known me a lot longer than you have".
The next morning her hubby smsed me saying she had a ceasar, and the first chance she got, she mmsed baby's pic!!!! So cute!!!
I still have not visited her at the hospital. Am thinking of what to buy. Will visit her tomorrow.
Don't you see? I love her. She knows that. And that is what matters.
If you have a friend like this in your life, know that this is what a 'best friend' is. Someone that will walk beside you in the darkest of your times to hold your hand and guide you through it, but chooses to walk behind you when there is light to let you enjoy the most of it.
May Allah bless our friendship.
Heart and soul.
Huda I still keep in contact with.

Online Shopping Episode 1 2011 & Vacation headaches
Lets just let the pics do the talking
Phewwwww....!!!
Bought the one in the below pic at LadiesFashon, address as per in the pic. Love their clothes!!
Pants for the lil one, bought this from BabyHaus
Court Attire fabric from E-amnibiz
Bought dress above from LadiesFashion as well
And the top pic from LadiesFashion as well
And this one too!!! (can you tell how much I love their clothes already? hehe)
Am currently surveying where to go for vaccay in perhaps October or December this year. Any ideas guys? Narrowing it down to:-
- Krabi;
- Bali;
- Koh Samui;
- Gold Coast;
- Paris; and
- Christchurch.
Trouble is, if I go in December, the cold places are out... it will be super cold. Am afraid of Airiel's lung thing issue. Aries also hates cold places, he loves islands, beaches instead...
Also imagining a crazy freaky schedule at the same time:-
- Weekie at kuantan this 29th with Bonda, Nenda, Atuk n Maksu;
- And then off to in laws on 1st;
- Trip to Pulau Perhentian on CNY with inlaws fam; and
- Trial on 7th Feb for the rest of the week onwards.

Makan -makan Thaipusam
Yesterday was a holiday, spent the day with Airiel for most part but squeezed time to also...
Watch the Tourist
I was reluctant to watch the movie after the less than flattering reviews I have read, but since that is the only movie that was available during Airiel's naptime, tgk jelah. Verdict? It was not really that bad of a movie. The storyline was ok, there was some interesting moments, its just that I think when you pair 2 really great actors on screen, people would expect so much more out of everything and an ok just does not cut it for someone of the likes of Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp.
Buy some PS3 games
Those close to me would know how much of an RPG gamer I am. Aries is quite the gamer addict himself (1st person shooter games, racing games and God of War kinda), although that obsession has somewhat subsided after he started playing golf.
I bought FFXIII when it first came out but never got around to playing it because at the time, there were no English subtitles or voice overs, only japanese ones. Yesterday we went to Gamer's Hideout and got 2 new games, my coveted FFXIII in English and Battlefied:Bad Company 2. Just started playing my FFXIII and I know I will take a while to finish, sebab nak main pon kena ikut time Airiel tido. Well, let's see.
Makan-makan yummy
Hehe, we went to Kampung Baru to our fave place, Restoran LaLa...sedap tak terkira!!! Biar gambar menjelaskan yummy itu:-
Muka skandal pada malam itu...
Teh O Ais and Asamboi panas
Kerabu Kaki Ayam
Ayam Goreng Petai
Telur Dadar
Brokoli Sos Tiram
Sambal yg sangat mantap!!!
Sotong Stim Asam Limau...
Berapa kilo naik sebab makan semua itu pukul 11 malam? Tak mahu kira buat masa ni huhu...
Try Machos Nachos A & W
This is A &W's new dish.. I somehow do not think it was real nachos from the looks of it and the sauce is actually just their topping for their coney dog. So ok ok jerla..
How did you guys enjoy your Thaipusam hol? hehe
Selamat hujung minggu readers!
Salam

Depressed DAY
Oh, I know its a holiday tomorrow and that should put me in a good mood, but I am depressed.
There was some events yesterday that really made me sad sampai nangis and takleh tido so that did not help. Although rasa mcm dah clear the air, tapi still rasa macam sedih. Sigh
I was in a full day trial today and the trial has been going on since last year, and so the Judge was asking this one counsel "how many issues do you have to cover?". And the counsel says "I go by topics Mr Lord" and so the Judge asks "What topic are you at now?". He answers, "I am at topic 7 my Lord". And so the Judge asks "How many topics do you have?" And he says "I have 42 topics my Lord". Jeng jeng jeng....Depressingnye, from the looks of it, we will only finish by Christmas...and when I mean Christmas, it might not even be this Christmas, 5 years time maybe? Aduyai...
And then when we reconvened after lunch, takde chambie plak bleh amik notes of evidence, bila try tanya diorang ckp "Sorry, I am busy"... Sigh, how can you be more busy than I am, may I ask? Lalu rasa depressed sebab dulu when I was chambering, I would never dare say such a thing if someone asks me to do a piece of work. Depressed sebab masa dan generasi telah berubah. Depressed because I realised I am getting old.
And then rasa depressed sebab tgh hari masa lunch Aries call and he was already at home playing with my Airiel, while I am slaving away...rasa jeles kan so terus rasa depressed.
And then rasa depressed sebab nampak org perempuan cantik yang sangat tinggi kat court pastu pakai high heels lalu sebelah, Oh perluke tayang ketinggian dirimu kepadaku? Perluke pakai high heels lagi pulak tu? Tak pasal-pasal terasa dekat orang yang telah diberi kurniaan Tuhan itu. Macamlah dia lahir-lahir mintak tinggi macamtu betul tak? Kenapa perlu cemburu tak tentu pasal? Lalu rasa depressed lagi sebab perempuan cantik tinggi tu lalu sebelah, bertambah depressed sebab rasa bersalah cemburu dekat dia.
And then bila sampai opis, depressed pulak bila nak balik sebab tengok jalan jem merata-rata. Bila nak sampai rumah tgk suami tercinta dan anak tersayang ni? Depressed lagi sebab banyak masa terbazir dekat atas jalan raya instead of spending time with the loved ones
Rasa depressed sebab nenda dapat pergi conference ke Penang sampai Isnin, bestla dia dapat kerja sambil melancong kan? Dapat makan nasi kandar, dapat peluk peluk dengan atuk, dapat jalan tepi pantai, dengar bunyi ombak. Depressed sebab masa tak mengizinkan
Rasa depressed sebab rindu dekat Huda, tapi malu dan malas nak kacau Huda sebab dia preggy and penat. Malulah nak ajak dia jalan jalan shopping sebab tahu dia penat jalan sebab perut semakin besar, nak ajak mani pedi rasa macam dia mesti tak mahu sebab Huda ni lain skit. Rasa depressed sebab tak dapat spend masa kualiti dengan kawan yang sangat disayangi.
Rasa depressed fikirkan krisis rumahtangga yang melanda diri suatu masa dahulu. I know moving on is the way to go, and diri ini masih dalam proses untuk melakukannya. Terima kasih Aries kerana sabar dengan isterimu ini, but healing is a time consuming process.
Ish, kenapa hati manusia susah melafazkan syukur? Should I not be thankful kerana walau ada kerja yang susah, tapi dibayar gaji setimpal usaha, bonus yang lumayan dan mempunyai bos yang baik?
Why am I not thankful that the misunderstanding yesterday has hopefully been cleared up and that is the end of the matter? Why lament on the what ifs?
Why am I not thankful for the trial that will go on a lot longer than anticipated when I can learn so much from it?
Why am I not thankful that despite not having chambies to help me, I have a wonderful secretary and colleague who is reliable and dependable?
Kenapa tidak pula bersyukur dengan Tuhan sebab walau tersekat dalam jem, masih ada kereta instead of perlu bersesak-sesak naik bas, MRT, LRT macam org lain? Masih dapat dengar lagu Maher Zain sepanjang jalan right?
Kenapa tidak bersyukur that at least one parent get to spend more time with Airiel as opposed to both of us being absent and busy with work all the time?
Why am I not thankful that although I am not tall, or strikingly pretty, diri ini sempurna anggota dan akal fikiran?
Kenapa tidak bersyukur yang Huda sekarang ini bahagia sebab akan ada cahaya mata yang bermaksud Airiel akan dapat kawan?
Kenapa tidak bersyukur yang suami kini berada di sisi dan berusaha memperbaiki perhubungan?
Diri ini beristighfar dan beristighfar kembali.
Semoga Allah mengampunkan hambaNya ini kerana lupa akan kurniaan yang diberi.
