Long Call speech that was not read fully

Yang Arif, saya dengan rendah diri memohon keizinan Mahkamah untuk berhujah dalam Bahasa Inggeris.

My Lady/Lord, first and foremost, it gives me real honour to introduce the Petitioner, XXXXXX - me

The Petitioner was born on 23 December 1987 in Kota Bahru, Kelantan and is the eldest child in the family. In pursuit of his dreams, the Petitioner studied and obtained his Bachelor of Law (Hons) in 2009, at the University of the West of England, Bristol. He then proceeded to study the Certificate of Legal Practice at Brickfields Asia College and passed in December 2011 after working in MAA for a year. The Petitioner also studied the Diploma in International Arbitration on a part time basis when he was working in MAA.

During his studies, the Petitioner has been actively involved in teaching Taekwondo as a sport and martial art. The Petitioner is a 3^rd Dan Black Belt holder in both Malaysia and Korea; and a registered National Taekwondo Instructor of Malaysia recognised by Skim Perlesenan Kejurulatihan Kebangsaan.

Besides teaching Taekwondo, the Petitioner is also passionate in officiating Taekwondo Sparring Championships and has officiated championships since 2011 as a Kyorogi Referee. The Petitioner, who has a Junior Poomsae Judge qualification, was recently appointed to sit as one of the three Poomsae Judge in a Championship.

The Petitioner read in the chambers of Messrs John Yong & Irene Song and chambered under the expert guidance of his master Mr. John Yong. The Petitioner wishes to express his utmost gratitude to his master for his undying patience  and guidance during the 9 months of pupilage. The Petitioner wishes to say “Thank You” again and the petitioner wishes to state that he will be keeping in touch with his Master.

On this special day, the petitioner would like to express his deepest gratitude to his parents, Mr David Kuan and Madam Grace Chow and his loved ones for their unconditional love and support. Without the support and encouragement of his loved ones, he would not be able to stand here proudly today to be admitted into the Malaysian Bar. The Petitioner is thankful that his grandparents, Mr George Pasqual Kuan and Madam Nancy Khoo had travelled all the way from Penang last night to share this joyous occasion with him.

He would also like to extend his appreciation to several other people:-

Firstly, he would like to thank his seniors and collegues for their guidance and valuable advice.

Secondly, he would like to thank his best friends including Mr Kenny for their support and encouragement at all times.

Thirdly, all his college and university mates, and Lecturers especially Dr Chanteney for nominating him as her best student for year 2005.

Special thanks to his MAA Bosses Mr VJ, Mr Philip and Mr Ong for their guidance, advice and most importantly, their warm friendship.

Special thanks to all those that stood by him in moments of difficulties which includes Anna Poori, Asherra, Sabrina, Nor Hafiszuan, Satheesan, Melanie and Melody. 

Special thanks to all his Church Friends at Sri Petaling Methodist Church, Life Methodist Church and Bandar Kinrara Methodist Church for their prayers.

Special thanks to his school teachers including Puan Lee.

Special thanks to all his Taekwondo students for their lovely smiles which kept him going.

And last but not least, he would like to thank his mover, Mr Low Chee Hoong for taking time to move his call.

My Lady/Lord, I believe that the papers are in order and that the Petitioner is a fit and proper person to be admitted and enrolled as an Advocate and Solicitor in the High Court of Malaya and there are no objections from the AG’s Chambers, Bar Council and Selangor Committee. Therefore I humbly pray that the petitioner, XXXXXX - me, be admitted and registered as an Advocate and Solicitor  of the High Court of Malaya.

Much obliged, My Lady/Lord.

Random Song Lyrics : September by Earth, Wind and Fire

Do you remember the 21st night of september?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in september
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember how we knew love was here to stay

Now december found the love that we shared in september.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember the true love we share today

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in september
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in september
Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days

 *nice song* =D

Car - check

Car Front tyres Default Air "Pressure" needed (cause I forgot the term) - 210 *something
Car Back..... - 195* something.

My Car Front Left Tyre - 200
My Car Front Right Tyre - 175 (WTF)
My Car Back (both) 190 each.

No wonder it keeps going left when on the highway....

Lesson of the day:-

Even if your new car tyres has just been installed, please go to the Gas Station immediately to verify the correct air added into it. Don't blame the mechanic. Blame yourself for trusting the mechanic as you could have verified it yourself. Further blame yourself if you are going to be a lawyer - because you should have verified all information.....

Seniority

American Heritage Dictionary:-

1. The state of being older than another or others or higher in rank than another or others.
2. Precedence of position, especially precedence over others of the same rank by reason of a longer span of service.

My Dictionary:-

"ANYONE WHO IS OF HIGHER RANK OR LONGER SERVICE ( BUT THE RANK CARRIES MORE WEIGHT THAN THE LENGTH OF SERVICE)"

I am not happy today. Plain rude and disrespectful (not to me... today). This is my first time witnessing this and I hope it will be the last time. If it happened in front of me again..... I am really going to bring this up to all top management. It is an unwritten law that the respect must be given to all lawyers. It is unacceptable to be rude to any lawyers. I cannot accept it. I will not accept it. 

It is absolutely ABSURD to even think of if. I may be becoming a lawyer , but that does not mean that I can be rude to anyone I like. Respect must be given to anyone irrespective of rank,age,sex, etc. But it is CLEAR and CERTAIN that ANY lawyer must be respected in ALL circumstances because by the end of the day, they are the ones that must be responsible for ALL actions (whether by themselves or their staffs or the WEATHER or even ACT OF GOD).

As long as I am in a working environment, these shall apply:-

1) I will not tolerate rudeness irrespective of rank. 

2) I will not tolerate rudeness to anyone "deemed fit to be called a senior".

3) I will not tolerate rudeness from anyone towards an "advocate & solicitor"

Thank you, shut up and take a good look in the mirror before you be rude to someone, cause that just shows who you truly are and lastly, fk off from my face.

Random Song Lyrics: Hey by Fatima Rainey

You, should'nt hesitate 'bout my feelings for you
I've proven so many times and different ways to you
I hope somewhere deep inside you know that I love you
Coz whenever you come walkin' my way
I said hey, hey yeah
I'll love you till the morning comes
I said hey,hey yeah
I'll kiss you in the morning sun
Now is not the right time to get serious
Now is not the right time, now is not the right time, baby
I dont wanna seem mysterious
Give me time, in time i'll be
I'll set myself free
But whenever you come, walkin my way
I said hey, hey yeah
I'll love you till the morning comes
I said hey, hey yeah
I'll kiss you in the morning sun
Parararapapapararararararapaparapapa
Love you more than words can say
Love you more than everyway, oh oh
Love we share is oh so strong
I know that we both belong
But whenever you come
Walkin my way
I said hey, hey yeah
I'll love you till the morning comes
I said hey, hey yeah
I'll kiss you in the morning sun
Coz whenever you come walkin' my way, I say
Parararapapapararararararapaparapapa
I said hey, hey yeah
I'll love you till the morning comes
I said hey, hey yeah

Random Song Lyrics : Memories - Weezer

Pissing in plastic cups before we went on stage
Playing hackey sack back when Audioslave was still Rage
Watching all the freaky Dutch kids vomit then have sex
Listening to techno music on the bus while we earned our checks

[Chorus]
Memories make me want to go back there, back there
All the memories make me want to go back there, back there
All the memories, how can we make it back there, back there
I want be there again

Messing with the journalists and telling stupid lies
They had a feeling that something was up
Because of the look in our eyes
In fact we didn't know what we were doing half of the time
We were so sure of ourselves and sure of our way through life

Memories make me want to go back there, back there
All the memories make me want to go back there, back there
All the memories, how can we make it back there, back there
I want be there again

Now I got so many people that I got to look out for
Never know when I'll become awake and buy some food at the store
http://www.elyricsworld.com/memories_lyrics_weezer.html
I can hear them babies crying and the lawn needs to be mowed
I gotta get my groove on because I'm freakin bored!

Memories make me want to go back there, back there
All the memories make me want to go back there, back there
All the memories, how can we make it back there, back there
I want be there again
