Making Up My Mind

    People always ask me why I am interested in law. Honestly, I don't know. I just feel like studying it. It's simply unexplainable.

    I've always thought of working along the lines of matrimony law, you know preparing prenuptial in case the couple with their pocketfuls of money decide to break up and hog up the other's money, or being in charge of divorce papers. I mean, that's easy money. Seriously, I hear those lawyers earn tons. Although I don't think Malaysia is catching up with the prenup and divorce trend yet, but we'll get there soon. *knocks wood at the same time though*

    Also, I've always imagined myself just dealing with easy paperwork. Like just working behind a desk and typing. That's one of the very few things I'm good at anyway. Words are something that I can understand and am adequate to deal with.

    Tonight, I decided to be a good student for once and researched on children's rights for MUET presentation. That was when I found out that I am really interested in children's rights. Maybe it has something to do with having three kids for siblings, but I really want to do something for children's rights.  Some people accused me of not being actually interested in law since I've never bought any law novels whatsoever, but I've always looked out for books (fictions actually) talking about children's rights. Does this prove that I am interested in children's rights after all?

    My past whims are just ways to slack and earn money at the same time. I'm not actually interested in matrimony law or property law or whatever I've considered before this. I mean, they seem to be so unrelated to me. How can I be interested in something I never bother looking into?

    But are children's rights something Malaysia actually pays attention to? I mean, I've always known that one cannot survive by interest alone. Besides, if I really want to defend children's rights, I might have to go to courts and stuff. And I've insisted time and again that I do not want to be a court lawyer due to my abysmal BM. Even if we were allowed to use English in court, if my opponent was using BM, I'd die because I would have a hard time trying to understand what he was saying in his professional sounding BM and wouldn't come up with anything to rebut his point as I had spent too much brain power understanding his words.

    Meanwhile, although I love reading up on children's rights, I'm getting tired of copying the entire Wikipedia page down. I suppose I have to stop being so lazy if I really wanna pursue children's rights too.
