High Court JB...and attachment prog

whoah..its been 4days already. so far so good. well, briefly, IIU has set up a new program for their law students where they are to join the L.AP (Law Attachment Prog). its a requirement for graduation. if u show bad behaviours etc, and ur master dun think ur learning etc, u won't pass and hence u'll have to repeat the attachment prog. otherwise, u can't graduate..

lets see..1st day me, nibah and huda pergi together to the court..every morning huda's dad will drive us to the court coz his office's nearby. nyways, well, i was told by makcik zainab jan(ummi's fren, a lawyer) that the court's in the process of moving to another building so, we weren't very surprised (or shocked) at the sight of the almost 95% empty registrar office. sangat kosong!!mcm abandoned room. there was only we-assumed-will-be-disposed desks and chairs and few cabinets..empty of course.

well..the master..he's the Deputy Registrar..VIP tuh..IIU graduate heh..he's a reaaaalllly nice chap..sangat generous, slalu share experience dia...he took us around the building. we dropped by the cell where the tertuduh semua are placed at before their hearings..there's this one guy who looked at us in the eyes, like bore deep into them in a really scary way, sengih2..tahkuut..

nways.. we were invited for lunch on our 1st day at the Pan Pacific Hotel.buffet..all u can eat meh! kenyang nye.. after lunch, we continued on chatting and Sir Kris (master) voiced out his ideas and suggestions of what we can do to make full use of our attachment program. here's some:

• visits to other lower courts (and syariah too prolly)
• visits to the legal aid bureau
• watch the auctions
• meet the judges
• watch the registrar hearings

for a 1st day, u bet this all sounds soo exciting and promising..but, my goodness the hearings sangatlah dull..today we heard the civil cases only..there's like soo banyak divorce cases which is menyedihkan.u kno, keruntuhan rumahtangga..anyways, we were allowed to go home after lunch..which ofkos we did ehhe..

2nd day

we came quite early. but sadly, and frustratingly (erk..is there such word?) teh hearing started pretty late. well, the open court ones la.banyak cases was heard in the chambers (closed room) and so we cannot tengok..and again, there was queues of divorce cases..then it turns out that there was going to be a criminal case's hearing later that day.a drug trafficking case. (the whole procedure is soo slow..huhu..sungguh la benar kata2 lecturers on how we are all fooled and deceived by the happening court hearings and trials and procedures as shown on TV dramas and movies..sedih..boo hoo..) me and my gurl was practically tersengguk2 okeh tertidur!! we did, yep, in the courtroom! i am so thankful that the judge x perasan or else he'd prolly sound us and kick us out of the court huhu..

after the criminal case's hearing, the PP (Public Prosecutor/pendakwa raya) tegur us.. and we got into a really long (one that got us glancing at our watches and the elevator's door) conversation. he was also an IIU graduate. he kinda got on our nerves a bit memula coz he was like, "kenapa 1st year nak ada attachment prog.tak payahla nak attachment..yadaa yadaa.."
huda later was like, "nak cakap je; bukannye saya nak pon!! " haha.. but later the conversation went smooth and fine la..

one thing i noticed, alhamdulillah the lawyers and the people in the court are nice people. they dun make us feel awkward and infact i dare say 80% of the people that we had nice chats with and made friends for the past few days were all the ones that tegur us dulu..they are friendly and sgt motivating in a way. and generous with informations and sharing their experiences too.

again, today, we were allowed to go home after the hearings are all done; which is by lunchtime. (hearings xslalu lanjut sampai ke petang) well, we had to take the bus to balik and turns out that tetiba hujan tigers and turtles and so, we cannot walk to the bus stand and since ayah nibah's coming to pick us not til after 5, maka, stuck we were lah in Kotaraya (its a mall :D the courts is attached to the mall.) so, after lunch and solat, we raided the mall!! hehe..we checked out boutiques, tried on outfits that we liked, checked out shoes, played with the cosmetics, and paling penting, we found rails of LONG JACKETS and Coats!!! the prices were very 'kind' but tough luck, there were no black colored ones. haih..i think i'm still gonna get one la..it shur'll come in handy one day. i'll make shur it will;if i do buy it later..

nways, well..after penat berpusing2, we went for tea after solat 'asr. we ordered chips and bought some pisang goreng..setelah begitu lamenye we lepak2 there, later when nak pay for the chips, we called on the waiter and he said, "owh..ni dah da orang bayarkan.."
me,nibah n huda was..flabbergasted! mystery guy paying for our food? we were like,
"eh? sape?"
"oh..mane ntah dia..dia pegi toilet kot"
"eh,takpelah, amek je lah duit nih.."
after much were being said, the waiter refused to take the money. then ade la pakcik kat meja sebelah tu menyampuk, "takpelah dik, org nak belanja..dia ikhlas tuh.."
"lagipun, siapa taknak belanja ustazah2 nih."
perlu lah kan dia sambung ayat tuh!! whats that supposed to mean??? haih..
tu yg nibah kate, len kali, dtg bawak tasbih ke, Quran ke, boleh dpt mkn steak free hahaha..

we left straight away..segan weih nak duduk situ lagi..haih..kalau nak belanja pon, bgtau la mamat oi..dah la tiap hari nak kene lalu situ..ni nak kene cari route lain masuk Menara Ansar tuh..

enuff for now..i posted pics already of our 1st and 2nd day already btw..we havent gotten teh chance (or the guts) to take pic inside the courtroom yet..takut kene marah..macam kat boutique, when trying out outfits, derang tak bg amek gamabr..so we assumed courts, ape lagi la..tgkla nnt we curik2 amek gambar..

p/s: did i mention that we were invited to join the chambering student's "graduation day"? heh..5 chambering students have finished their 9months period of pupilage (practical/industrial training that law graduates have to undergo before they get to practice) and they will be 'called to the bar' (given the official green light to practice as lawyers) on Monday. we're also invited to the reception which is the 'after party'. just a small party..social event!! cannot wait!!
