Met a Singaporean friend in Costa. Both of us were trying to study there while waiting for the lecture time.
Then she came to this question: "Actually why are we studying law?" Because we love law? We love reading cases? we love reading regulations? Crap, who wouldn't want a better and more relaxing life? Undoubtedly, I have interest in law, but I can't see myself as a lawyer in the future. I thought I would be in business world next time. So Yeah, why am I still choosing such a heavy course. I remembered I told mum before, that if I choose courses relating to Design, I would always stay in cafes enjoying the life with a cup of coffee and magazines. Yes I love this kind of life! And if I choose courses relating to Maths, I would have life of "keep doing" instead of "keep reading", which I find life will be easier then.
Okay, so why am I choosing Law? Am I regretting?
Frankly speaking, I don't really know why am I always love burdening myself. Just like during secondary school, I could have chosen a simple and relaxed life, but I joined debate and had 5 years of hectic life. Where people were away for holidays, I had to stay for competitions and society's stuff. Just like during SPM, I can choose for the minimum subjects, but instead I've chosen 13 subjects to sit in SPM. I know I was a freak for taking up so many subjects without any valid reasons. But now looking back, I am proud of myself, for being able to go through all these when others have no chance to. Did I ever regret? No, not even a second. Let me choose again, I will choose to remain the same!
I am stubborn enough to always choose a harder route instead of a more relaxing one. I am not sure why so, but one think I'm sure of -- that I won't regret for choosing it. I've foregoed my right to have a relaxing life. I've chosen a life full of judgments, assignments and readings. I knew the 3 years in UK gonna be tough for me, especially when I'm not good in English. I knew it before I chose it. You can either interpret it as I'm too brave to take up challenge, or I'm too stupid in making choices. Haha.
I love law, not as a career, but as one of my interests. I love learning and understanding it. But I hate memorising it, that's why I hate sitting for law examination. But who loves it? So just bear with it, do your best, and move on!
I love law, I have no regret choosing it.
I am having a heavier life when I have a lighter option, but I have no regret.
I'm ready for the challenges. Good luck to myself! :)
