Hobi Baru

Tak ada post panjang berjela hari ini. Cuma ada pertembungan bila ada mesin taip lama (masih lagi belajar nak menaip tanpa cacat cela) dan apabila menerjah lubang arnab yakni Perang Saudara Inggeris 1645-1652.Berikut adalah pertuduhan yang dilemparkan terhadap Raja Charles I (tiada kaitan dengan Charles III sekarang ini, lain susur-galur) yang dibuat oleh Solicitor General, John Cooke:Dan ini pulak...

A Cross to Bear

2024 while eventful for had been a dry year for me in terms of trials. So, when the opportunity presented itself for me to join a trial sometime in November, I went. It was a criminal matter at Magistrate’s court level, and I had immense fun. Both me and the lead counsel did but most importantly it sparked a discussion between me and the lead counsel on cross examination process itself. This was...

A case for Oaths

  If you are a new or fairly new legal practitioner like me the closest you will get to oaths in your practice would be when you accompany a client over to a commissioner of oaths to have an Affidavit sworn (that’ll be 10 ringgit for the affidavit and further 5 for each exhibits) or Statutory Declaration and no actual oaths uttered by the said client but the Commissioner's rubber stamp deems...

Most-tradamus, most of the time.

Menurut laman web SciJinks yang dikelolakan oleh National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Yankee equivalent of our Met Department, Ramalan cuaca bagi tujuh hari mempunyai 80 peratus ketepatan. Ramalan cuaca bagi 5 hari pula mempunyai ketepatan sebanyak 90 peratus. Ramalan cuaca untuk 10 hari dan selebihnya selalunya betul. Tak ada peratus diberikan.

Ayam dengan Itik bercakap.

 Most of the time, I get my points across be it in writing or verbally or by way of gestures. People understood me, to certain extent. But there are times when I feel strongly about something, words, writing or gestures just fail to convey how I feel and why feel such feelings. I feel the choking limitations of human language. When that happens, I think to myself perhaps that is how those with...

Let them eat (Oat)cakes!

Where I was a few days ago they botch a bowl of oatmeal porridge like nobody’s business. What they serve out would be something that falls into oat glue category rather than oatmeal porridge and I don’t even know how they managed that. It is hard to ruin a good bowl of oatmeal porridge considering making one is easy. You don’t need fancy cooking skills. Just some oats (steel cut, rolled, who cares),...

Sonata For Good Men

There are simply days that I loath to be alone with my own thoughts where the dread and anxieties of tomorrow are all too overpowering that it saps away my focus to work. It would make my heart race and set my feet tapping impatiently. Those would be the days that I would leave the office early after doing all that I can at work before seeking company amongst my practitioner close friends. The vet...

Do you feel lucky Punk?

Bila cerita tentang punk imej pertama yang selalunya akan terbit adalah gaya rambut mohawk atau berceracak tegak dan denim rabak dan busuk dengan patches, dumpster diving. Aku tak mahu bercakap tentang pemakaian atau ideologi yang dipegang oleh golongan Punk ini ataupun musik Punk itu sendiri. Itu boleh di Google.   Tak kira apa tanggapan kau tentang golongan Punk, satu sisi yang aku kira...
