Usually, when a girl looks into the mirror, they are actually worried about their pimples. But for me, when I look into the mirror every morning, the first thing that I see is a stressful face, a face of a man who are regretting his yesterday, a face which expresses a very tough situation that the man is facing. Yeah, I am actually looking at my face. Oh no, I got just a few weeks before the final exams. English for Law! The Malaysian Legal System! The Law of Contract! The Law of Constitution! Why are ‘you’ chasing me like a criminal offender??? I am just a soldier who forgot to reload his bullets. I am just a teenager, who loves to play the Pro Evolution Soccer game every night rather than reading the full text of cases. I am just a man who treats the law books like his own bloody enemies. And surely, ‘you’ cannot put the blame on me for not getting ready yet to transform my pens into swords and fight in your arena, my dearly examinations. BUT, I am the person who should blame myself for wasting the whole three months without proper preparation for the war. During these three valuable months in the National University of Malaysia (UKM), I should at least master the Document of Destiny by Prof Shad Saleem Faruqi. If alphabet is the basic lesson for kids, the Document of Destiny is the most important foundation for a law student in Malaysia. Argh, there are still other books such as “Mengenali Undang-Undang Kontrak Malaysia” by Dr Sakina and “Pengenalan Kepada Sistem Perundangan Malaysia” written by Datin Dr Noor Aziah to study. In addition to those sufferings, I also have a lot of assignments to do. The PBL! The presentation of my study regarding the relationship between sports and diversities in Malaysia! The presentation of the study of medical negligence in Malaysia! And I almost forgot the presentation of my English for Law’s project! Oh, I am getting sick and bemused of presentations. I wish I could stay at home, just sit back and relax, enjoying the cartoon series of “Upin and Ipin” with my youngest brother, Muhammad Amirull Aiminn.
If I can reverse the time, surely I will not install this Pro Evolution Soccer game into my beloved laptop. I got indulge into the habit of playing the game whenever I got free times. Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard, Pepe Reina, Cristiano Ronaldo. Those are my closest friends every time I play the game, the players who perform their best in every tournament. Now, I am aware that from the very beginning I must be ‘close’ to the judges such as Lord Atkin, Lord Denning, Tun Sallah Abbas, Tun Muhammad Suffian, and their judgements, not the players and their games. What should I do? Should I jump from the top of Za’ba residential college’s building? Or, should I give up and just ‘tawakal’? Hmmm... Sink or swim, I need to sit for the exams. From now, I have to motivate and remind myself that the ability to pass the examinations with flying colours is indeed a valuable quality. It shows that I am able to express my thought and ideas in a manner others can understand. It also shows that I have acquired a certain amount of knowledge in this branch of study. Therefore, I must give my best to empower myself with the knowledge and understanding pertaining to the particular subjects. I challenge myself to prove to others, that this man is ready to grasp the wisdom of law study. Hey guys, now I can feel the wind of change blowing into my will. Let us burn out our midnight candles and push ourselves to the top speed so we can manage to score in the becoming final examinations. For the Muslims, do not forget to raise our hands and make do’a like the Prophet taught us (sounds like the lyrics of the song by Maher Zain, Barakallah. Hahaha). Never look back, just take the sad song and make it better. Good luck to myself, and to all my fellow friends. Last but not least, I would like to thank all the lecturers for teaching me from ‘zero to hero’.hahaha.. I’m much beholden to all of you for your kindness. May Allah bless you.
