With the encouragement of a comment on one of my previous posts, I am now motivated to blog further! Thank you my dear reader (singular). I'm nothing without you.
And wow, it's almost a year til the day the Firm was formally named. There has been a lot of challenges and legal drama this past year, too much to count. There's a bit of everything. On the positive side, the Firm has been handling a lot of complex, interesting cases. Oh the drama and stories I could share!
Handled quite a lot of injunction matters the past year, leading to my "King of Injunctions" moniker given by my small group of legal peers. I prefer Krown Prince (just so the acronym would be KPI - Malaysians are all about acronyms). Actually, I prayed for this during my trip to the Holy Land. I prayed to be blessed with work that is exciting, challenging and enjoyable so that I can continue to work and continue to love my profession - and this is one of my many prayers that had been granted by the Almighty. The other prayers - I believe will be granted in due time. I firmly believe in the law of attraction. You attract what you want. Pray for it, work hard for it, and it will come (when God wills it to).
On the negative side, setting up on my own has exposed a lot of my own flaws and weaknesses that I might have turned a blind eye to, or papered up the cracks to. Now, there's no longer anyone else to blame, no excuses to be made or had (and even if there is, it wouldn't make a difference anyway) and all it's done is that it has laid bare a lot of ugly truths that I have to face, accept and do something about. But the Firm is still going strong. Alhamdulillah.
In the personal sphere - the year has started with a lot of travelling that I might try to blog about (no promises). Langkawi during the new year was much needed after a really hectic end to the year (in which an ex-parte injunction was filed and obtained on the very second last day of the year). Shanghai was a great experience and a much needed rejuvenating holiday. Perth on my birthday was close to succeeding to top Shanghai. Almost. Have also been enjoying a quieter work schedule (work-life balance?). Also, another reminder of my mortality: A nasty food poisoning episode put me in the hospital for the first time in my life and left me there for 6 days. Oh, it's already April but a lot of my resolutions have yet to be put into action.
But now that I have a reader, I now have a purpoise in life! Yes, I do! Targetting to double it by year's end!
