Confession Aftermath

It probably sounds like a bad thing, but it is certainly not.

November 12th, 2011, Saturday, we set a time to meet, 12.30pm.
Well, he asked me to give him a shout after the Thursday class about Saturday if I am around, probably he thinks I might have something more to talk to, about what we knew about each other.

So, that's today.
Grabbed something to drink in Costa beside Law School.
I thought whites usually quite particular in buying food and drinks, or even in human relationship. They seems like lack of what we call '情'.

Contrary, he bought me drinks.
I sometimes find it funny when he always get a time for afternoon coffee for a meet up instead of beer at night.
Well, I found out, he only drinks at home, not really fancy going out at night, even during his undergraduate time. Of course you could not imagine he smoke.
Pretty reversing my view towards whites.
Or probably he is so busy, working almost all the time from Friday to Sunday which the days we have no class.

Anyway, we talked about everything, literally, at least what we capable of in less than one hour time.(He gotta rush to work).
He told me he googled about Malaysia, to find out where exactly it is.
He became interested when I told him about my German celebrity crush and googled it in front of me, in the coffee shop, with his Iphone.

Yeah, we chat. Nothing more.
But what notable is, I never been that comfortable and authentic before to talk to someone in my real life. Maybe he is the only one in the real life who knows my biggest secret ever.

He leads a pretty fortunate and good life.
Well, he said we have to fight for it. He did.
We have to works for it.
Maybe something just happens sometimes.
Or maybe he is just lucky.
In life, working life, relationship life etc.
Maybe what I have to do is LIVE POSITIVELY, which what he told me when I was with him doing the Law School Open Day.

Of course we talked about works, getting pupillage.
Of course with the visa issues, I gotta worry a lot about that.
Haha, he told me the same thing I have in my mind.
Get an English and get married. Settled.
Figure out the explanation then, when it is really necessary. When it comes, you will know how to explain it.
This is the second time he tells me this. First on the first day we chatted, just we both alone, as well as today, the second day, we talked, just two of us.
But the problem is how the hell I am going to get the English.
He said he will try to do some 'homework' for me, consult his friend, because he got no such relevant experience.
Oh yeah, I told him I prefer whites XD

By the way, last night I was told by my course mate, the other Malaysian Chinese guy(I believe there are only 3 Chinese in my course, 2 guys a girl including me), the hottest lecture has mistaken him for me by calling my name 'CK' in his seminar class. Don't know if that's a compliment but =)
And, the other friend told me when the lecture took up her seminar group just to take up the class for a sicked lecture, when she asked questions no one answered, she said:' If it was my class everyone would have the answer.' Wow, not sure if she is mentioning my class, even so, I don't think that includes me but it is a compliment as a part of the class too. Haha.

Anyway, that's today.
Back to Peter.
I walked him home and passed by library, just went it and sat for two hours.
That's it.

Recalling what we talked about and having a British friend like him,
I have a smile in my heart.

Finally I can have someone to talk to, about everything.
Finally I can have someone to complain my emptiness about those silly celebrity crush.
Finally I can have someone to share about my unrevealed difficulties.
Finally I can have someone to know about what my America and Germany dream really is, I mean, what they made up of.
We are not best buddy yet, not even close.
But I hope, we will get closer by time.

Maybe he will be the reason I can find my smile easily.
Living positively, much less complicated.

Then the good things will follow.

HOPE

It is constantly calling for help when you start becoming decadent.


It is something you need to adhere to and believe in.


It falls apart when you come undone.


Live POSITIVELY, never give up on HOPE!


It is precious gift from yourself available only when believe in it.=)

CONFESSION

It is probably the most significant date in my life.

November 3rd 2011, about 2.30pm ++ after Criminal Litigation and Evidence Session.
I made my biggest and bravest confession in my life, the confession which might affects my whole and the rest of my life, to a guy I just met after I started my BPTC in Nottingham.

Peter, he is one of my course mate, as well as the same seminar group we are in.
As we have more seminars than lectures in this course, strictly speaking most of them are seminars, thus we began to knew each other, probably more and more.

I accidentally found out he is in my situation too, without him trying to cover up anything, when we walked to Ropewalk Chambers to submit our mooting bundle.

It took me a lot of courage, after contemplating a long while, avoiding to see him by giving excuses although I was the first asked him to meet up right before one week reading week holiday as I have something to consult him.

He took the first initiative to resume the 'meeting up', as I got no idea to face it, that's why I chose to pretend to forget it.
Finally, today(strictly speaking yesterday), probably I caught him in surprise too, after beating around the bush, I said something which I really can't imagine I will be saying one day.
My heart was pounding, blood was rushing, body was warming, and I did it.

Unfortunately he hadn't got much time. He thought it wasn't a good time and good place to talk about that topic too. We left it there and he suggested it is a lot more we can talk about and probably save it for the next time, couple of days later.

Anyway, with his advice, I hope I have more confident in getting my pupillage in UK. As my sponsor said, be persistent.

And hopefully couple of days later, I might be able to find out more about myself, who I am and who I really want to become.

This was a HUGE confession, in my life.
