Final Semester

Time just flies before I realized that, now, I am in my final semester. Things have been, at least, going on well, or else I would not been in my final semester now. When I first entered law school during mid-2007, I was pretty new to this whole thing. I didn't even have a clear mind of why am I choosing law. It seemed to be that, this had been programmed into my mind since I was young. Being a talkative boy, people around always said that I will be a lawyer in the future and that's how this thing seemed to be carved in my mind - and I didn't think much. I did not really score well during my first semester. Being a rookie at that moment, I was quite lost. The feeling is just like you were being thrown into the sea and you have no idea how you reach the mainland. I was lucky enough to meet a senior, who gave me a hand to go through such  tough period of time. He showed me the way. It was also a hard time, for the very first time to be far from my family and friends. Again, he was the one that kept me accompany throughout that time. I really appreciated what he had done for me. 

Semester by semester, I went through with more and more efforts being channeled in. My interest towards this field has grown even deeper. I realized its importance in our daily life. I pushed myself further to discover more on how this field can be used to help the others. The idea is simple. I just want to prove that justice is not a game for the rich. Every single human in this world has the right to justice. I took more papers from the others, not to show to people that I am capable. Again, the idea is simple - I want to learn as much as I can so that I can help more people when I step out into the society. 

My 4 years have been great especially when my life puzzle has been matched up with colourful pieces of friends. Each of them makes up a part of my life. I treasured them so much and to me, I think that's the biggest treasure in this 4 years time. 

Considered myself lucky, I have been selected 3 times to go for different international trips each year. In 2008, I went to Philippines, In the subsequent year, I went to Vietnam. And in 2010 I was selected to go to China with another 19 students. Deep in my heart, I really feel the greatest gratitude towards my lecturer for giving me this great learning opportunity. Frankly, I am only a little soldier in the contingent, but I was chose for 3 times to go for all these programs. Thankful. 

During this period of time as well, I have been more and more actively involve in my organization - SGI. It is an international organization that promotes peace through education and culture. I deeply attracted by its noble move as well as its great leader - my mentor. I deeply vow to fight together with my mentor for the rest of my life - to promote peace to each individual as well as globally. Youth is the time to build the strong foundation which will then determine who you are in the future. 

6 more months. I shall fight harder. 

2011

Yeah, I am back from Guangzhou, with a box of memories to be treasured for life. Back to my reality, and my life, thus begins. Another semester to go and that's from today! 

Forgotten?

Maybe, you have just forgotten the real intention of my existence. Please fully utilize me. 

The Band Perry - If I Die Young

And yeah if I die young.

Taio Cruz - Dynamite (Int'l Version)

So, why am I posting this song here? Simply to share something I like with my readers, if any.

His story!

"So, I ended up here." This was the phrase he told me. And I deeply felt his sadness. He was below 18 when he was dragged into the cell, together with a few others. And, "What is your case?", he answered, "302." For most of the law students, if not all, they will know what it means by 302. So basically it means, murder. He has been in the cell for months, since early of the year, waiting for the case to be tried in the High Court. 

Did he really murder that person? I am not sure. So his story begins...

"I was once put into the prison over an offence. I have a girlfriend before I was put into the gallows. During that period of time, she went to be with another guy (the deceased). Soon after I was released, she came back to me again. We went on well and we were planning to get married. Things started to become worse then. The deceased started to spread rumours that my girlfriend was not a clean girl anymore, she was a cheap stock and she slept with him. It sounded so insulting. I was really damn angry at the deceased. He never stopped to spread the rumours around. I can't really take it anymore. I don't like when people talking about her like that. I have a friend, named Jimmy. All this while, out of my knowledge, Jimmy has this hidden intention of killing the deceased. They have a real bad relation between one and another. Jimmy took this opportunity the actualized his intention of killing the deceased. So, Jimmy kept on asking me to find the deceased to teach him a lesson. Basically it means to give him some punches. That was my intention, I did not intend to kill him at all. So, I looked for a few friends, and together with Jimmy, we went to look for this guy. Upon seeing him, we threw him with few punches. We did not realize that Jimmy has pulled out a rope or something, and then strangled the deceased. The deceased collapsed and died. We were shocked. As we were still young, we really did not know what to do. We put the deceased into the car and then sent it off for disposal. We were blocked by the police on our way. And we were later remanded and now we are waiting for our case to be heard in the High Court. We have no intention to murder him at all, only Jimmy. How can we all being ended up here over something we are not intended to happen?" 

Quite a sad story I should say. What is the guilt of being framed by someone to commit something which you never intended to happen? Who are there to help him and his friends? Everyone does mistake, we are just lucky that our mistakes have not reached the level of that seriousness. So we are still free outside here, we enjoyed full liberty which we claimed too be too little. Appreciate what we have today, and help the less fortunate ones. There are more stories behind that wall, that most of us have not aware of at all. Do not close yourself in your own world without caring what happens outside you. Everyone of us, is just interconnected. 

Everyone of us, is just interconnected.

And what's yours?

Have been a busy week - with academic, school and Gakkai works. And when I finally able to get enough rest (at least 5 hours), I fell sick. Now I am in the process of recovery. And then I will be busy once again until I finally get to go back home for the study week. That is basically my life. 

Yeah, now is the 7th day of the month. And 3 more days to go on the completion of the Mentor and Disciple Memorial Hall in Malaysia (Wisma Kebudayaan Soka Gakkai Malaysia). Talks have been going around to share with members about the importance or rather the significance of the establishment. It is to ensure that the spirit of the mentor and disciple will continue to flow from generation to generation. It is indeed an important project of SGM. 

Sensei, today, is still with us. We still have the great chance to strive side by side with him. But how many of us actually appreciate this golden chance? Or we are actually taking it for granted. Yes, we are. How many of us actually really get to study Sensei really well and really understand the spirit of mentor and disciple? Do we? 

The whole structure of the Hall will remain as a Hall if we fail to inherit the spirit, if we fail to incorporate the really spirit into our lives. If that is the case, the whole structure will become meaningless. Things will remain as things. No purpose. So, it is us who make the things come into life. We are suppose to first to incorporate the spirit into our daily life and strive like our Sensei. That's what I called as building your own Mentor and Disciple Memorial Hall in yourself. That's the ultimate aim, for each of us.
