28 December 2009 to 5 March 2010-no facebook, no msn, no blogging, no chatting, no games..Since I was nothing to do after SPM exam, my aunt (my mother's youngest sister) has given me a GREAT opportunities to work as an assistant/ clerk in her and her husband's (my uncle) legal firm at KL for 2 month. I was so lucky and happy to have a job without making any appointment and interview. Even, I have been given a big chance to learn something new there. I have a wrong thoughts of lawyer at once.
I thought they must good in debates and always going to court. Actually, lawyer was divided into into two groups, litigation and commercing. I was assisting my aunt in commercing part while my uncle is doing the ligitation part. I was the youngest worker in that firm. It also proved that I was lack of experiences in working too.There are three assistants, Diana, Wani and Joyce, the two pupilages, Atiqah and Chloe, and the five fully fledged lawyers (including my aunt and uncle). My tasks were copying documents, do adjudication, preparing loan documents, type formal letters, preparing proforma invoice, answering phone and etc. Now I know how to use the photostat machine and fax machine and courier documents too.
Indeed, my English is at the lower average. Preparing those formal letters were totally made me felt annoyed. I have a clear mind when working in a legal firm, so I know that I can't using the word " TRY" in doing my tasks. I am not able to bear the consequences and effects of any mistake in any documents. Because of this, I had asked other assistants of any single matter or anythings that I not sure when they were busy and rushing for their tasks until they were showed an unbearable face to me.
No choice and no point! I have to ask them although they were not willing and free to teach me when they were busy, it is too difficult to wait and asking them when they are available. I have to accomplish and rushing my tasks too! All of the workers have to rushing doing their tasks before the completion and extension period to avoid paying the penalty of the miscellaneous assignments of Sale and Purchase. If we did any wrong in any documents that delay the processing or sending the documents late to the government and bank, who is responsible to this penalty that cost more than ten thousand??
Another things that I learnt when I worked there is...never show my true feeling in front of my fellow workers. I have to pretend like don't mind and intellect in doing everything, smile reluctantly although I don't like the way they treat me. Pressure!!! I totally don't like that feeling.HATE HATE HATE...I can just be endure to get a good cooperation when working. It is not easy to control the tears falling when I am frustrated. Sometimes, the atmosphere made me felt wanna quit from the work but sometimes I felt that I want to stay at KL in long term. I believe that I can improve my English in short period of time if I keep staying in that environment. The KL's life can pushing me and forcing me to change for the better in the fastest way.Am I contradicting myself?
ENGLISH is too important for me to get a job there. I knew that my English is quite weak and I will improving my writing and conversation in English no matter in what situations. And, I will also agitate myself to learn more foreign language that can make me more easily to work overseas. Believe yourself, you can do it!
A special thanks and regards to my aunt and uncle whom had given me a great chance to learn new things and understand what does lawyer do. Even, they also given me another chance to get close with an OL's life and the real social life. This time, I had learnt somethings different from school. I had learnt a lot..
I hate the virtue of life.
