Of My LL.B (Hons) Graduation Ceremony

Assalamualaikum & happy Monday everyone!

I finally have the modjo to continue with my LL.B convocation post. I know this blog is warm warm nail but I think I really need to have this documented for a future reference untuk tatapan anak-anak cucu sekalian. InsyaAllah

Or worse case, my laptop decided to betray me one day & semua gambar habis di bawa lari

Anyway, for the introduction, my LL.B convocation day was held on 28 November 2012 which was about 5 months after we finished our LL.B final exam. Macam lama sangat kan baru nak grad. Tapi bagus juga sebab at least within 5 months tu dah habis dah qadha tidur untuk 4 tahun di Law School. Gitteww!

And since this was my second convocation after Bach. of Legal Studies in 2011, I decided to attend the ceremony alone for a few other reasons. Yes, alone without my beloved family by my side who would help me with the robe, hood, make-ups & all or my Parents excitedly waving me from their seats nun di atas sana or receiving flowers from them at the end of the ceremony

At first, I thought I would be cool but once I stepped outside the hall after the ceremony, perasaan sedih tidak dapat ditahan lagi! Like semua orang pergi cari family masing-masing, receiving hugs & kisses while I was all alone terpinga-pinga tak tahu nak pergi mana

And to add more drama, I had a fever. Tsk tsk! T_T

Mon pere et ma mere sending me off at the airport

The graduation robe without the hood

For Faculty of Law, the hood colour is Purple

Oh before I flood in this post with more photos, I would like to thank my good friend/ex-roommate/batchmate, Syairah for being sooooo kind to let me stay at her house for 3 days & a night at Intekma Resort with her family who came all the way from Langkawi. Segan tak terperi tumpang tidur rumah orang but I had no choice because I was all alone, remember? Huhu! Most of Syairah's housemates are MSU students & they're so kind & ciri-ciri muslimah sejati jelas terpancar. Bodek. Ehehe! But seriously, they're so kind. Alhamdulillah :')

Ok, sambung. The day before the ceremony, I had a pre convo shot with some of my girlfriends. You may refer this post. Tqvm

Our graduation ceremony was Sidang 9 which means that we had to be there as early as 7:30 a.m at Dewan Agong Tuanku Canselor, UiTM S.Alam. Turut sama bersidang pada pagi itu ialah Faculty of Information Technology although me & my friends secretly wished that we shared the sidang with Faculty of Electrical Engineering instead. Bahahahaha! :P

• LW 213 - Sarjana Muda Pengajian Undang-undang (Kepujian) / Bachelor of Legal Studies (Hons)

We had to queue in a very long lineeeeeeeeeeeeee before entering the hall which I honestly didn't mind at all because it was like a jejak kasih with everyone! And masa kat entrance door tu, there were a few lecturers waiting to salam, greet, congratulate & hug us. Auwww! I love my lecturers! Made me want to tear a bit :')

We were seated according to the class i.e First Class, Second Class Upper & Second Class Lower & names. Like my first graduation ceremony, once again I was seated in between 2 jelitawans whose names begin with S, like moi. Jelitawan sangat ni dorang ni, naik segan mek. Huhu!

I wore a pair of bright maroon sari baju kurung which was a present given by my secondary school junior Atiey, a soon to be awesome doctor who is now enjoying her student life in India. Tak tahu lah betul-betul enjoy ke tak kat sana hahaha but you go girl! WoohoO!

I think I really need to continue in another post. Hehe!

June 2012 - June 2013

Group 2D & Mr Yunus, our Advanced Civil Procedure II lecturer

LL.B (Hons), Class of 2012

UiTM S.Alam

It's been a year since my last day at S.Alam as a LL.B (Hons) student & indeed, there are many things happened within a year; some ups & downs, twists & turns, bitter & sweet and most importantly, the journey I've been embarked in seeking who I am, what I am capable with & what I (really) want to be

Now that a year has passed by, I can say that most of my LL.B friends are doing good. Alhamdulillah. Some of them are working with Attorney General's Chamber, some of them are working in big legal firms, ada yang kerja as the government servants in various Ministries, some of them have upgraded their title from single to engaged/married etc (can't wait to see who will be the first to give us niece/nephew. Lols!), ada juga yang sedang counting the days to finish their pupillage/chambering etc. Well done, comrades! ♥

The end of my 9 months being a pupil in chamber means that I'm no longer in my erudite journey in becoming a lawyer. Tiba-tiba terus rasa tua! *faints* And I definitely miss being a student & chambering student. Lepak & makan-makan after the classes, stayed up at the faculty & McD till 3 a.m, lepak-lepak at the court while waiting for Legal Aid duties before the Magistrate or just lepak-lepak at the Bar Room or cafe gossiping etc; ohoiii rinduuuuunyaaaa! 

Working life means bigger & more serious responsibilities placed on the shoulders ayte?

Whichever paths that me & my friends are taking now, I pray may Allah keep us on a right straight path & never let us go astray. Amin ya rabbal alamin... Now, it's time to work harder, rise & shineeee!

Sistem Semakan Syarat Kelayakan Program IPTA (i-MAS-C-U)

Assalamualaikum & happy Saturday, everyone! How are you today?

I stumbled upon this link at FB, shared by VC UiTM himself & I thought, it may be very useful to all SPM 2012 candidates out there. The simple survey conducted at the website may help your mind choose & make decision on which course you're going to apply soon

Feel free to visit the website; Sistem Semakan Syarat Kelayakan Program IPTA (i-MAS-C-U) 

So cool la. Zaman ahkak dulu mana ada benda-benda macam ni semua except survey/questionnaire yang PRS distribute masa Seminar Kerjaya kat sekolah dulu. Now, everything is at your fingertips. Nak cari any info, google sahaja

I filled in my SPM result & did the survey just for fun & look look what the result says about me. Hehe!

Ya, maka tidak sia-sialah daku menghabiskan masa mudaku di Law School. I made a right decision guys! Bahahah! Tapi yang dayasaing itu agak over la. I don't remember being that competitive. Hurm..

And these are some courses suggested to me based on my SPM result, interest & the survey I had answered earlier. Oleh kerana survey adalah based on SPM result, maka program diploma sahajalah yang keluar. Kalau fill in guna result STPM or Matrikulasi KPM, barulah keluar program degree

And it's not restricted to courses offered in UiTM sahaja. Other unis pun ada sama tapi since IPTA kat Malaysia ni tak banyak offer diploma programmes, unlike UiTM so the choices might be rather limited

Diploma Farmasi awal-awal lagi dah di pangkah ye? Adakah ketidakcemerlangnya daku dalam subjek sains begitu obvious? -.-'

May you find this helpful! All the best, adik-adik! Man jadda wa jada! ♥

SPM 2012 Result

Assalamualaikum & jumma mubarak, brothers & sisters! ♥

So, the SPM 2012 result was out yesterday

I'm not going to bore you with my stories about the day I collected my result because nothing extraordinary happened back then. Maklumlah, result mek pun biasa-biasa sahaja :')

Studying in a boarding school, you're expected to be smart & hardworking. I've to admit that I did pretty well during my lower forms i.e Form 1-3 (well, tak ada lah sampai Top 3 in the batch but ok la kan being ranked no. 27 from 140 students. Nak jugakkkk kann? Huhu!) but things went a bit twisted during upper forms. I didn't blame the debates but my lack of interest in science subjects

I liked History, Physics & English in Science & Technology (EST) but I always found that Biology, Chemistry & Add Math were very boring. Ada jugak la faktor-faktor lain yang menyumbang but I'll keep them to myself. Hehe! So, imagine being in the science school but hate science subjects, perasaan dia macam dirantai oleh rantai besi gittew!

My SPM result wasn't that good, sekadar cukup syarat to apply for MARA Overseas Scholarship (TESL). I went for the interview yet I screwed it. Lols! Hence, my dream of reading TESL at Uni of Auckland hancur musnah begitu sahaja. And at that time, I was stuck at Matriculation College, being the Biological Science student, something which I didn't like at all. I still remember waking up in the early morning a few days before the final exam, trying & pushing myself to study Biology but ended up sweating & crying because I hate what I was doing at the time

Sigh! Nightmaresss!

My point is, do things that you love. Jangan ikut orang, do researches & studies, ask around for opinions or questions & most importantly, know what you really want to do. Like me, I went to Matriculation programme because it was like a must go place for everyone after SPM (except if your result is good enough, you got to enroll into Preparatory programmes at any college or buat diploma). Tak semestinya buat diploma tak bagus. In fact, diploma students do have a lot advantages bila buat degree

To adik-adik who just got your SPM results, Alhamdulillah & congratulations for the flying colours result. All hard work paid up, ayte? For those who're in the same boat with me i.e the-not-so-cemerlang-all-A's-SPM result, don't worry! It's not the end of the world yet! SPM isn't the life yardstick; cemerlang SPM doesn't necessarily guarantee a very bright future ahead, alright? And please remove that cliche thoughts that courses like medicine, engineers etc je yang hip. There're a lot of other cool courses kat luar sana. Rezeki masing-masing, Allah itu kan Maha Adil? :)

Quoting my master, "Kak Ti ni belajar law sampai ke UK, tapi orang ada SPM yang buat business lagi kaya dari kita"

Hehe! 

Feel free to e-mail me at suria.muhammad@gmail.com if you've anything to ask about reading law, especially at UiTM Law Faculty. As an alumni (tua sudahhh rasanya!), I'll be more than happy to help, InsyaAllah

Sempat lagi promote! Hehe!

Untuk Adik-adik Yang Minat Belajar Law

Assalamualaikum & hello loves! ♥

Result SPM/STPM dah nak keluar ke? Mek ketinggalan betul bab-bab seperti ini memandangkan our households tak ada ahli yang di bangku sekolah. The youngest is me. Ahemm!

I do realize that this blog has been visited frequently by adik-adik who are seeking for some information about reading law, specifically in UiTM. If you have anything to ask, jangan malu jangan segan to ask me anything at suria.muhammad@gmail.com. It will be such a great honour for me to help you

Tapi my opinion might be biased la a bit. Kata lagi produk dari UiTM Law School kan? Maka haruslah nama fakultiku itu akan ku up kan. Tiba-tiba terasa diriku ini sungguh tua kerana sudah bergelar alumni :((

Honestly, saya rasa ramai di kalangan kita fikir law itu bidang yang senang as it doesn't involve science & math. Ramai kata, since law ini adalah sains sosial, senang je la setakat hafal-hafal tu kan? Kalau terrer English lagi la, it's like an added bonus. 4 tahun reading law tu kacang je la. Dean List anytime je, babe. Boleh melawa & glamer donning in black & white. Boleh speaking English all the time walaupun pronunciation, vocabulary etc tak betul mana. Untung badan, tengok-tengok boleh jadi another Yuna & Fahrin Ahmad. Lols!

Kids, if you think that way, then you're totally wrong

If you think reading law could save you & make your brain at ease from learning those perplexing math formulas & science facts, then you better think again. Kalaulah law itu senang bak kunyah kacang kuda, maka ramailah yang grad dengan First Class Degree di serata dunia. I know, every uni has its own marking standard but the point is, it's not as easy as you think. And kalau belajar law kat UiTM, ada subjek Solicitor's Account & Conveyancing which means 'Hallo Calculator! It's been a while!'

 My table in normal days during LL.B Part 2

And this was taken during one of the busy weekends where we had to come & finish our works. See my Senior Partner, Yana berkerut-kerut dahi. Hehe!

I know some people who are very good in English, lived abroad for a few years tapi tak perform juga dalam exam. I know some people who come from average family {like moi} but managed to have outstanding results. Maknanya, tanya pada hati "Do I really want to do this?" & please jangan ikut kawan just because he/she applies juga, maka saya pun bolehhh!

I believe every course has its own level of difficulty, so does reading law. It has its own art of making the law students suffer to the core. It gives you the ability to digest the whole semester syllabuses & pages of complicated cases in a few days or hours before the test/exam. It makes you understand why lawyers/law students are the ones who tend to break the rules. It often gives you minor heart attack thinking about the high mountain workloads, datelines & tests, all coming towards you in one shot. Nightmares about exam/test, happened to me countless of time!

When you're in LL.B programme in UiTM {I don't know about other unis), this kind of workload is utterly normal & it happened almost every week. I purposely printscreen-ed this which was posted by my Office Manager (or class leader) at our class' Fb page & set it as my laptop wallpaper, so that I know that I really didn't have time to goyang kaki the whole week

 My Advanced Civil Procedure II paper which I sat in June 2012. It was almost impossible to answer all the questions within 3 hour, hence caca merba. And kalau ada anyone yang spot wrong answer written, paham-paham je la *coughs*

Now, thinking about the keluh kesah I had at Law School makes me want to laugh & I bet, my other friends & other law graduates would probably think the same. Definitely, reading & practicing law are two different things. Ahhh, I miss those stressful days of not having enough sleep, staying up at the class/office till 2-3 a.m & waking up in the morning looking like a zombie
.

 My class/office at Level 5

I was so lucky that my classmates are a bunch of fun people. I miss them :')

 Mock Trial for Civil Trial & Advocacy (CTA); one of the most stressful subjects during LL.B
Kerja tak pernah habis & banyak pulak tu. Gering

My firmmates looking so serious before the CTA class. Hehe!

Of course reading law means you need to read a lot of books, articles & cases, memorize a lot of facts & cases, able to think critically & fast, able to write as fast as you can within 3 hours of test/exam with a lot of cases & authorities to support you argument & able to handle stress too. Tak bagus English boleh belajar {at least Band 4 MUET}, tapi yang penting minat, usaha & of course some natural talent in debating & gusto of wanting to win. Self-confidence harus lah ada juga

My official LL.B (Hons) convocation picture, 28 November 2012

Bila ntah nak sambung entry pasal convocation. Basi sudahh

I had fun reading law & those 3 sems of Pre Degree Law + 3 years of Bachelor of Legal Studies (Hons) + 1 year of LL.B (Hons) are one of the most memorable chapters of my life. I can't imagine being in other profession walaupun selepas SPM dahulu ada apply & attend interview MARA Scholarship for TESL. Imagine if I succeeded the interview, went to study abroad & jadi English teacher. Apalah nasib anak-anak didikku dapat teacher macam ni? -.-' Surely, Allah knows best

So, adik-adik, ask yourself whether you really like/want/determine to read law & have what it takes. Kalau tak sure jugak, jangan lupa guna talian hayat dengan Allah i.e Solat Istikarah. And if dah sure, all the best to you! May you ace along the way to become a lawyer. Amin & InsyaAllah. Jika saya & kawan-kawan yang lain boleh, anda juga boleh! Jangan lupa mohon keberkatan dari Parents di samping usaha & doa

Anyway, you can refer to my entries on;

• amidst black n white - my journey throughout 4 years at Law School
• of being lawyer-ed - my chambering/pupillage so-called diary

Disclaimer; This entry was written solely based on my experience & own point of view. Should mine differ from yours, apologies on my behalf & kindly be noted  that there's no law stated that one's opinion is wrong merely because it's different from yours. Much obliged :)

Hey There December

Assalamualaikum & hi, love! ♥ How are you doing?

After about 6 days berkembara, now I'm back! Arrived at K.Bharu at 4 something p.m this evening & don't want to believe that tomorrow is Sunday. Sighhh! I miss my friends in KL & Selangor already :(

Anyhow, here is a picture of my pre-convocation shoot with my girlfriends a day before the ceremony, taken at Dataran MBSA, Shah Alam. Patutnya ramai lagi yang join tapi ada komitmen dengan family. The photographers are 2 young men from CamPixel Studio, membuatkan daku berasa kekok. Kehkehkeh! Have to wait for Pipah to mail me the cd. Can't wait to see the rest!

Of 3 Days Before

My graduation robe

3 days before my LL.B graduation day, InsyaAllah. Patutnya esok on leave but still have to go to the office. It's okay. Hehe!

It feels weird when not long time ago, Shah Alam was like a home for me yet I kept wanting & yearning to go back to K.Bharu. I put all the blame on the overloaded homesickness & mountain-high LL.B workloads for giving me a love-hate relationship with the Anggerik city. Now, visiting my alma mater is like going to a place full of memories of 4 years. Some things are worth keeping intact in my mind while some, well let us take that as unpleasant chapters of life. Hopefully, the familiarity within UiTM will still make me feel at home in a good way 

Still haven't packed any garment yet walhal esok pagi kena pergi office & lepas tu direct to the airport. Badan rasa panas sejuk, kepala rasa berat, tekak pun rasa pedih; ini ialah tanda-tanda yang tidak bagus. Huhu! Btw, jemputlah datang konvo saya 28 Nov ni, sesi pagi. You don't have to bring chocolates or flowers, just come, smile & pose in front of the camera. That will be more than enough :) 

May Allah make everything easy for  these 5 days of kembara; urusan pergi & balik, konvo, kesihatan etc. Amin... Take care, love. Assalamualaikum ♥

The End Of Law School

After a long tiring process of literally gluing my eyes on the laptop screen, hitting the e-mail refresh button zillion times, nerve-wracking moments & being redha with whatever result it will be this morning, now it's very safe to say that;

I finally finished the law school & completed the LL.B (Hons)! Allahuakbar!

Excited sangat mek ni sampaikan statuses silap spell jadi statutes

If you're or were a law student, you may get this :P

Now, would you please allow me to go all sappy & present my award speech slash my way to express my gratitude? Thank you. Hehe!

A long way to go, still but let me enjoy this feeling. MasyaAllah, when I first set my eyes on the result, I was so close to tears because truth be told, the result was way better than I had expected. Alhamdulillah, Allah is the Greatest. Of course, everything won't be possible without Allah's help, the Parents & family's doa & restu days & nights, the learned lecturers' guidance & belief in each & every one of us, friends' help including the hardworking firmmates, cheerful classmates, lovely roommates & anyone along the way

Thank you very much to each & everyone of you who have made this journey a very meaningful & memorable one ♥

Going back down the memory lane, my erudite journey wasn't a smooth one. I've made several mistakes in the past, like going to Matrikulasi Sains when I know I hated & was bad at Chemistry & Add Math & wasted a year there {nightmares!} & failed the Mara interview after SPM which had left me with no other option but to continue studying at Kolej Matrikulasi Penang {life was so hard at that time but it's the best matriculation college nonetheless, hats off}, thus only Allah knows how scared I was of the word FAILURE & how desperate I'm to prove to everyone that I could shine again, especially to the dear Parents

Of course, self satisfaction is another factor that put me in that gusto, other than other personal reasons :)

Walaupun mampu grad dengan Second Class Upper je pung {First Class tak mampu la dik. Tsk!} but still, I survived the Law School! Alhamdulillah & woohoO!

During my Bachelor of Legal Studies (Hons) convocation in October 2011

Need to remind myself not to wear red & also shawl during my LL.B (Hons) convocation this November

No SuFO, No Result

You know the final exam result is just around the corner when you receive this kind of e-mail from the uni admin

An e-mail to remind us to complete the Student's Feedback Online (SuFO)

9 subjects equal to 9 evaluation

InsyaAllah, mek akan cuba menjawab seikhlas mungkin *coughs*

Done evaluating 1 subject, lepas tu malas. Esok masih ada -.-'

Cuak. Debaran kian terasa. Makan tak kenyang, tidur tak lena tapi masih cukup

Ya Allah, permudahkanlah urusan kami, LL.B (Hons) Batch of 2011/2012. Semoga kami dapat grad kali kedua dengan awesome & gembira. Amin & InsyaAllah...

The Last Two Days At S.Alam

Is it too early to admit that I've been missing S.Alam already, especially my dear classmates & roommates? But I'm missing them & still in denial that Law School is over for real this time. No more KB-S.Alam or S.Alam-KB journeys after this

Some of the batch mates are having holiday at Pulau Perhentian now & although I really want to join them, I know my family won't let me. Tsk!

Anyway, my last two days at S. Alam was spent in my room alone, packing & wrapping two boxes of books weight 20kg ++. Posted them home via KTM train which costed me RM60++. Murah la kot eh kalau nak compare guna normal post

Wrapping 2 boxes is not fun, I tell you. But luckily, I had Secret Garden Korean drama accompanied me

My shelter at Kolej Melati at 3B-01-38

 .

I shared my room with my other 3 classmates, Shaf, Nicky & Nobby. 1 word to summarize it; FUN! ♥ I miss our random pillow talks & karaoke session the most, including those lara moments before tests or exam

Please excuse the kain buruk hanging at the window. I forgot to remove it. And those tompok-tompok on my bed, I swear the stains have been there for some reasons. Let's not jeopardize our peace mind with some gross imaginations etc. Euww, I know -.-'

Almost kosong sebab dah ramai yang balik

The view from the corridor near my room. Engineering students are so lucky, fakulti di tengah-tengah alam compared to Law Faculty nun di bawah bukit sana. Tsk!

Lima Tolak Empat

Finished our fourth paper yesterday's afternoon at Dewan Seri Budiman {DSB}

I don't know why but this hall always gives me this nostalgic feeling. Probably because of its age factor & the fact that thousands of UiTM graduates had their graduation ceremony here. And I even used to imagine receiving my scroll for Bach. of Legal Studies {Hons} at this hall. Now that we have new Dewan Agong Tuanku Canselor {DATC} which was finished early last year, maka harapan untuk berkonvo di sini terkubur begitu sahaja

Btw, since we'll be having our last paper at DATC & that was probably the last time I got to be inside DSB, maka I snapped a few pictures

With some of the classmates. Do check out our tak-cukup-tidur eyes, yo!

I've been fasting 4 days in a row but why oh why I look chubbier? Oh I know, it must be the black jubah & the lack of sleep *in denial*

Btw,

Advanced Criminal Procedure II

Alhamdulillah

It was a very tiring morning; had to skip Advanced Criminal Procedure class a bit, rushed to a few places, almost gave up, went to Kolej Melati after being informed by Nicky about the appeal & finally my other LL.B friends & I are in! It was a very smooth process, easier than I had expected

I couldn't thank enough Melati staff for their kindness. Alhamdulillah ♥

Tak ada rezeki nak dapat bilik 2 orang but I'm more than happy to share a room with my 3 classmates; Nicky, Shaf & Nobby. Nanti bolehlah pergi & balik kelas sama-sama & kalau lara, boleh la berlara secara berjemaah. Yay! And thank you to Yda & Ummu for allowing me to tumpang their rooms. Kalau tak, tidur di surau sahajalah kami
.

Now I can finally punggah all my stuff at Juwe's, Anas' & Nobby's house. Banyak sangat barang, terpaksa tumpang di rumah kawan-kawan sekelas. 3 rumah pulak tu -.-'

Pray

I realize that this blog has been lacking some elements lately; photos & happy posts {at least for me} & I put all the blame wholly on nothing but the unhappy me. Sigh! 

Tomorrow will be the last day for college appeal. A few lucky friends have got their way in Kolej Mawar while for some of us who are not that lucky, terpaksalah tunggu esok. Terpaksa skip kejap kelas Advanced Criminal Procedure, nasib baik Puan H is okay walaupun beliau macam hesitate juga at first nak bagi

Pasrah lah kalau tak dapat this time. I've been staying at the college since Pre Degree Law + 3 years of BLS + 1st semester of LL.B & kalau tak dapat juga to stay inside campus, this will be the first time me staying at rumah sewa. Bak kata Abah, "Kalau tak dapat juga, anggaplah ni macam jihad"

Mengalir air mata mek tatkala mendengar ayat itu. I rarely cried whenever I was on the phone with the Parents except for serious matters & this is a very serious one :'(

Lepas tu masuk bilik sambung nangis depan Ummu & Hafsah. Nangis, nangis lepas tu gelak, then kena gelak pula oleh mereka -.-' Lemah, I know but I've had enough. Penat fikir LL.B Part 2 lagi, dengan masalah kolejnya lagi. Nak belajar pun tak fokus. Wish I'm now in the comfort of my own bedroom 500+ km away from here

Help me ya Allah... Help me to get in this time, Amin...

UiTM Mock Trial The Musical

It was a very stressful week {as always} & I was in a desperate need to get some injection of free & fast {not to forget, cheap!} entertainment during the weekend. So, when my friends came to our class & offered some tickets to UiTM Mock Trial on Friday night {I had 2 tests on that day}, it didn't take me too long to raise my hand & buy it

Well, if the ticket wasn't RM 3 per ticket, I would probably have taken some time to consider it. Hehe!

It was UiTM's first mock trial ever conducted & thus, we couldn't expect anything from it. Plus, it was musical, not just a boring dull serious tensed mock trial that you often watch elsewhere. Dalam kepala, dok imagine scene dalam Glee! And since our sisters & brothers from other Law Schools {i.e UM, UKM, UIAM & USIM} had conducted such trials for countless of time before, me & my friends were quite excited to watch it live at our own ground for the first time

Dewan Agong Tuanku Canselor, UiTM

Beli tiket lambat, maka haruslah seat nun di Level 2 sana but since there were other LL.B colleagues {about 20 of us or probably more} sat together with me, lantas berasa seronok & gembira sebab boleh gelak secara berjemaah

Giving instruction to MiraLulula

If you're not familar with 'mock trial', it's an act of what's happening during the trial in the court with the presence of a judge, a bench of prosecutors & defence counsels each, court interpreters, the accused(s), victims & witnesses

Sounds boring? ;) Worry not as mock trial won't usually be conducted in a very strict manner. Put aside all your knowledge on civil & criminal procedure, evidence, criminal & trial advocacy etc for a while as this is the time to relax & enjoy the drama!

It started with a scene where the wife, Kasih was so upset with the husband, Amir for coming home late on their anniversary's night. Amir went amuk & left his wife alone. A few hours later, he was found dead with other evidence found in his car. Kasih was the main suspect/acused since she was the last person seen with Amir

They even had Imran Ajmain singing 'Seribu tahun' during the first scene & Fadzley Yaacob at the closing

The next scene was the proceeding in the court. The arrival of the judge, solicitors & other members of the court was done in such a musical dramatic way. I couldn't imagine if this would happen in the real life. Imagine seeing the usual serious looking legal people dance & sing around. Each solicitor has different character & even the witnesses called before the court were freaking funny

My favourite among all were Dr Alisya something Kunci who conducted the post mortem on Amir & also Datin Paduka J'J.J, a doctor from Hospital Universiti Tanjung Rambutan. And I think, my junior, Aminu did a very good job as a judge. Kelakar tak tahan with his Chinese dialect ala-ala Johan Raja Lawak :D

It was so fun & some of them can sing very well! Tak sempat rasa busan sebab banyak lagu-lagu & moves around the stage

Well, it was found out later that Amir actually had a gay partner {couldn't remember his name} & a few scandals {one of them was his wife's bestfriend}. He died after being hit by his partner on the head with a helmet & mencurahkan clorox ke dalam mulut Amir kerana tidak dapat menerima hakikat bahawa Amir mahu meninggalkan beliau selepas mendapati Kasih hamil. So, the accused in this case tak lain tak bukan was Amir's gay partner & bukan Kasih bt. Kasihan

Overall, I would rate it 8/10. Mungkin perlu pendekkan sikit durationnya from 2 hours to 1 hour & a half. Lagi satu, sound system at Level 2 agak kureng kadang-kadang menyebabkan kami terpaksa membuka telinga luas-luas untuk menghayati dialog

Anyway, we're so proud of our juniors for doing such a good job #tepukangemuruh & it was actually fun to spend some time chillex pada malam minggu with your friends & even some seniors yang dah bekerja pun did come. Tqvm to those who came, especially from other faculties & universities. Penuh 1 hall! WOohoO!

Qouting Yana's brother; 'Bosan gila budak law. Malam minggu pun tengok mock trial' -.-'
