Dear future C.K.Lew,
Hope your initial is still the same as your 24-self. You should be 30 year-old right now.
In case you wonder how this came about, you have just written a letter to your past self at 17, while 24, so you thought it’d be good to let your future self know how you were doing back then, in case you forgot.
Remember your dilemma about staying or leaving the UK?
You just came back from UK with the visa that still running.
You had a huge dilemma, as usual and wonder if you have made the right choice, and ever.
I hope my decision right now had led you to somewhere you wanna be.
Remember you were yearning to live overseas?
You have spent a year with your visa working as a newscaster, and then you went back to called to the English Bar with the intention to stay and look for job.
Somehow you about to manage it but you wanted to come home to settle your pupilage first.
Your aim is to complete it a.s.a.p. so that you can concentrate on achieving your dream.
You got a plan, go back to the UK with one month left visa with the hope that the earlier job is still there.
I hope you are able to make it and living your dream now.
Remember your pupillage in Malaysia?
You were doing your Malaysian pupillage now and going to have an invaluable experience which you never thought you’d get.
You thought you’d get into big civil firm but ironically your plan didn’t let you.
Then you got into a criminal firm which does most drug trafficking cases by Iranian, while you were trying hard to forget your crush.
You anticipated to have drug trafficking, murder, criminal breach of trust cases around waiting.
You got a good pupil master, he really trained you like a real lawyer. He expects you to know everything about every case you are involved in, literally, inside out, and expect to be asked at anytime. And figure out all the legal issues for him and he will just do the checking.
More interesting, he wanted you to focus and be expert on a new law which no one ever tested – SOSMA 2012.
He planned to fly you to Sabah together with him to handle the “Pilipino invaded Lahad Datu” case.
You started to feel lucky – who would get this kind of invaluable and incredible experience in only the pupillage.
I hope you still know what I am talking about.
I hope this will do you a lot of good.
Remember you let someone comes into your life and turns your life around?
You had this huge crush on this person you met when you were at the end of your 23 and you still can’t get pass that to date.
It has been almost a year. The person wasn’t right for you but still you feel like there’s a knife stickin’ out of your back.
I hope by that time, this didn’t kill and has made you a better person, whether you will able to be with this Iranian.
Or the Canadian who made you confused.
At least all of you are now keeping in touch.
Remember your list of things to do?
You never used to have one. Not even New Year resolution.
But the Iranian changed you so much.
I hope by that time, you will hit the gym and become built enough. You will swim, learnt martial arts, parkour and piano.
I hope you are still keeping this passion going.
Remember you wanted to see the world?
You thought life isn’t about money. You wanted to remind yourself what life is.
You thought backpacking is kinda cool. You wanted to experience real life.
You though life is full of surprises. You wanted to live like you’re dying.
I hope you would have done it by then.
When you were 24, there were so many uncertainties.
You had no idea where you belong and where you will fit in this world.
You tried to follow the flow but you didn’t want to settle for less.
You tried broadcasting, wanted to become a flight attendant, but also wanted to live overseas and practise law.
Just so you know, you have only two options so far:
One, provided the job earlier in UK will still be there, you will finish your pupillage in Malaysia a.s.a.p. and go back with the visa left and take it from there.
Or, keep staying in Malaysia, practicing law, and try and get newscaster as part-time. Aim for L.L.M. or M.B.A., American Bar, Psychology course to make myself more valuable and migrate overseas when I’m financially available. And your aim is still vague, USA, UK or Canada?
I hope all these have came out crystal clear by then, and you will figure out your path.
I hope plan will pan out as you planned.
I hope someone would have came and became your everything, and you have started living for someone else.
I hope you are having your picket fences life, with your family and teaching your kids how to play baseball.
I hope you have started to sense you’re slowly becoming someone else.
I hope the things that would have been lost on you are now clear as bell.
I hope the best year of your life is somewhere near.
I hope you are proud of who you are, and haven’t change that for anyone.
I hope you have learnt your lesson, do not fall in love too easily, do not get emotionally attached too much.
I hope you have realized the family is always the best remedy.
You’re 30.
You have already tripped by so many hurdles. I hope you have gained more knowledge and more mature.
I know there’ll be more tornadoes, volcanoes and hurricanes in life waiting ahead. I hope you have learnt the way to tackle it eventually.
Dilemma sometimes hits. I hope you have found a way around it. I hope you have learnt to start telling friends, you don’t need any more analysis or judgment of your plan. You don't need any more opinion or comment. You can manage it. If they really are that care for you, a simple supportive affirmation is good enough. It suffices.
If ever I am taking the road not taken, I hope that would just make you better and stronger.
I have been doing a lot of thinking lately.
I can't be sure but I hope I am on the right track.
I could be changing you by writing this today.
You are the result of what I decide to do.
Life could be better. I hope you are better than I am now.
I wish you are doing something you always hope to do - inspire others' life with your own.
Remember you were finding yourself at 24?
In case you haven’t noticed, you were doing not-so-good at the moment you were writing this.
You have wind up lost.
I hope this is the best thing could have happened.
Because when you lose your way, that’s when you find yourself, they said.
I guess I will just see you in the mirror, when you’re a grown man and telling me - “It’s all good.”
Best Regards,
C.K. Lew
