HERE WE GO AGAIN

Sorry for the long gap between posts. I've been too busy with work, applications and general clutter to post a blog these past few months.

Oh wait. Work, you say? I can hear the naysayers saying, well, "Nay!". Ahmad doesn't work. Well, I did. For two whole months. And in return, I received a measly 300 bucks a month. The future doesn't bode well for an aspiring lawyer in Malaysia. Maybe it's karma. But then again, I thought the essence of the whole karma idea was that bad people get reincarnated as lower-level life forms or sumthing like that. I must've been some really evil, rotten, downright despicable person in my past life. Maybe a driving instructor or something of that ilk.

I hate applying to law firms for a job. It takes the best of six or seven hours just to complete the form, not to mention the time wasted checking up on the stuff and the countless hours wasted infront of the computer doing research on the firms... and for what? I've lost count of the number of computer-generated rejections I've received over the past few weeks. Still, I should count myself lucky to get an interview at Clifford Chance. However, I'm still pissed with the rest of the lot so here's my bitching over and done with:

FRESHFIELDS BRUCKHAUS DERINGER, HERBERT SMITH, NORTON ROSE, ALLEN & OVERY,EVERSHEDS, SLAUGHTER & MAY et al... YOU SUCK!!!

I know. It's lame. But hey! As they keep saying in their letters, it's nothing personal. I just hate you guys.
