Today is my 3rd day of working in my new company. Well…everything goes fine. I have yet to receive any work form my new boss. My boss had asked me to go through all the basic things like company structure, the strategic plan, SOP, MOA, AOA and so on…What i have done for these three days were only READING, READING and READING!
Environment-wise, i think this company have the same condition like my previous company. All staffs are friendly and very happening. Most of them are Malay and only a one Chinese & Indian staff i have met so far. And the best thing is i am the FIRST & ONLY legal advisor in this company. Which means all legal matters and issues arises from all the departments will be forwarded to me! Hopefully i would be able to handle all those matters brought to me. Mau pecah kepala ke hape, nak tak nak kene le menjawab!
Being in a legal field, I was always forwarded with the same question everytime i introduced myself to people. Most of the people out there always have these same perceptions. Lawyers’ jobs is going to the court, solving matrimonial cases and summonses. These three MAJOR problems were always being asked to me. Lucky i still remember all those procedural things. And these people were always expecting that i can answer their question there and then!
Apparently, legal have a lotsss of subjects and subdivison. In my previous company, i was dealing with all of the tenancies or in a legal jargon we call it as “conveyancing”. And here, i’ll be handling all matters regarding copyright, intellectual property, JV etc etc…this is TOTALLY NEW for me. But, i believe, i would be able to master the subject very soon cause i believe that this “people” and the “problems” that will be coming won’t wait for me to provide them the best solution.
Okay, enuff with all the legal things. I admit that i chosed to read law in university 10 years ago because i was very eager and interested to become the first lawyer in my family. And, alhamdulillah, i managed to went through all the learning process and exams with flying colors. And then, I managed to finish my Chambering period for 9 months and finally called to the bar or in another word officially listed as an Advocate & Solicitor of High Court of Malaya on 8th of May 2008. I am the one who chose this path. So, it happened exactly like what have been planned.
The day i was called to the bar
With colleagues from other firm
But, as time goes by, after i got married and blessed with a son, my life changed. I started to become bored with all the agreements and my works. I got this new hobby and interest which finally had changed my plan in life. I began to get involved in business and i am so lucky because i got a full support from my own husband who are already in business field since he was studying in university. He also have his own company when he was in a 3rd year of study.
Last May, I resigned from my position as a Legal Executive mainly because i wanted to focus on business and starting my life as a Work-At-Home-Mom (WAHM). I really enjoy the moment of doing a home-based business (even my business is still at the early stage and has yet to make a big profit) and at the same time taking care of my beloved son, Danish. It was a tiring job. But when we can do something that we really wanted and love to do, we won’t feel it as a burden at all! That’s the best thing about it! And that is what i was trying to tell my parents.
But, because my parents were disagree with my opinion. They insisted and asked me to look for a job, and as a daughter, i couldn’t object. I have to agree and follow what they asked me to do. I admit that i am so disappointed because i could not proceed with my plan. But, this is what i called as SACRIFICE. I sacrificed my dreams just to fulfill my parents hope. Hopefully, one fine day ALLAH swt will make my dreams come true and ease my path to become a business woman.
So, here i am! In a new company, as a Legal Advisor! One thing for sure, when i started doing the assignment given by the Senior Manager today, i do feel a bit happy and i realized that i have already accept the fact that i am a Full-Time-Working-Mom…..AGAIN!
So, kawan-kawan…meh tengok gambaq Long Call Ceremony saya dated 8/5/2008… =)!

dear, you look so cute in that 'outfit'–sorry tatau nk panggil ape Jubah tu. Remind me those days when law student had to walk from kamsis to library for mock court. So happening la masa tuuu.. esp guys with the 'rambut'.
InsyaAllah Lynn you dream will come true one day. Your own business atau you parents see it as 'Your own legal firm' maybe?? Aja doakan yang tebaik utk Lynn dan kita-kita mommies semua, WAHM, FTWM, atau SAHM. InsyaAllah..
ermm..ape yg i bace dalam your blog, u really2 want to be WAHM kan..????so u dapat spent a lot of times dgn baby u and it is good for his tumbesaran…plus make money from home bus..that is good for your husband, baby n u….but in the same, you still have your mom which is very2 high expectation on you…DILEMMA kan..?? ermm..susah juga…i rase cam ginila, u set your mind brape tahun lagi u will be FTWM..2 tahun, 3 tahun lagi or before 30.disscuss wth your mom n bagitaula, u will stop working as full time at that time n will do own buss…itupun kalau your mom setujula..so dari sekarang kumpul duit bebanyakk n cont your existing bus…just kene ingat, x semua ape u nak Tuhan akan kata OK..u ader kelebihan in certain part yg orang lain takde…dan u juga ade kekurangan yg orang lain ade kelebihan itu…so it is all bout ketentuan Tuhan..yg penting usaha n selagi your mom masih hidup, cubela gembirakan hati die…i yakin u boleh…macam i, my mother n hubby really support to be WAHM n focus jaga anak and lucky my hubby really want me to do online buss…hehe tapi i aje tak tau nak jual ape…so now im fully housewife sambil intai peluang perniagaan..so i yakin, u seorang yg tabah…g.luck…!
Many moms dream of working from home. But once they have the chance to do so, many of those moms wonder what in the world they have gotten themselves into! Working from home is not easy. In fact, many moms find that working from home is more difficult than getting in the car and going to work somewhere else every day.
tunaikan harapan ibu bapa..=)
for me, this is the only way to pay back segala pengorbanan dorang membesarkan kita..lagipun, bila kita buat sesuatu dengan restu ibu bapa, insyaallah dipermudahkan segalanye..amin..
kak aja : ermm..lyn rase lyn patut panggil kak aja la sbnrnye..yea..i really luvs all the pictures. what more i look slim n suci murni time tu..ehehe..skang dh jd mak org sememeh jerr…hikhikhik..ape2 pun, thanx a lot ya kak aja for the advice.lyn pun doa semoga cita2 lyn akan terlaksana jua… =)
baby hug mama : lucky u…best kan dpt jg anak snirik.puas hati…i envy u a bit…boleh?hehe..ape2 pon thanx ye for sharing and advising. really hope i can be like u one fine day. supported by parents & hubby… =)
dokemion : i see ur point…but to someone who has a strong perseverance and determination to do biz, i dun think they will easily give up. yes..business requires a hardwork. but, we're doing sumthing for our ownself, not other people. That's the main point. By the way, thanx for ur comments. Really appreciate it. =)
deena : CORRECT! Itulah sbb utama lyn terima jugak offer kije yg dtg. kalau ikutkan hati mmg sedih sgt x dpt buat biz. sbb lyn dah already started! suddenly kene stop……waaaa….sgt sedih ye..sampai lani terasa pedih di hatiku ini!
ok. my advice.. cari keje yg less stress. xde kaitan dgn law pun xpe. I was engineering student. sekarang keje mcm kerani pun ada. kadang-kadang buat keje QA etc.. cincai. janji ada income.. sambil2 tu dlm kepala dok x berenti pk mcm mana nak start on biz yg my parents akan kata OK… biz is risky.. our parents nak yg senang dan mudah untuk kite. tp kite mesti nak yg terbaik utk diri kita juga.
MarDiah : Alhamdulillah..kije yg ade lani mmg less stress. Allah permudahkan..mungkin coz ikut ckp mak abah…i currently dah ade biz…juz nak boost je lg marekting n promosi…so, akan berusaha keras utk bekerja n at the same time ber"bisnes"… =)
nak share jgk lah š akak pun berada dlm dilema jgk suatu ms dulu tp ms tu blm berbisnes part time lg.parents tak bg berenti keje sbb bg dorang keje mkn gj lebih secure walaupun bisnes kalau kena gaya lagi kaya..he..he..tp risky & kena kerja keras.dorang takmo akak susah mcm dorang dolu2.mmg pedih tp maybe itu yg terbaik buat kita.berkat menunaikan hasrat mak ayah (walaupun dah ada suami)insyaAllah cita2 kita akn tercapai satu hr nanti.slow2 bisnes, bila income dah 3x ganda gj skrg baru resign..he..he..(ni tips akak dpt dr buku)
i need advice too..
really wanna be a WAHM but forced to be a FTWM..
huhuhu.. nanti kita applykan kpd diri sndiri suma comments dpd post lyn ni k..
at least being an advocate & solicitor is ur choice which i was forced to study law š
and to-date, still trying HARD to build at least a small hole in my heart to LOVE this job…
Nik Ha : betul yg akak ckp tu. kalau kite menunaikna hasrat parents, mmg dpt berkat…melimpah-ruah..alhamdulillah…sy dpt rasekannye skarang… =)
Shanaz : lagi sadis kisahmu itu shanaz…x per la..yg penting kite menunaikna hrpn parents kite yg dh byk berkorban dr kite lahir kedunia ni smpi lah ke tahap ini..kan?insyaALLAH..ALLAH akan permudahkan segalanye buat kite..AMIN… =)
InsyaAllah.. sekarang u dah besuami.. discuss with your husband i think much better ok..
