My first time solo-working at Johor, Malaysia.

Assalamualaikum, and hi.

Dear readers,

4th February 2024 -- 
Today I'm outstation for work at Batu Pahat, Johor. Being a watching brief (Peguam Pemerhati) for a murder case. Committed, as always. 

I’m not supposed to spend the night since its only a one-day-matter. But things happened. Luckily I came prepared, brought all my essentials just in case. Puan Min told me to just stay the night. Checked in a good small space for me to sleep my worry away. My meeting will be at 10PM later, I will be getting my dinner before the meeting.

There’s always first time for everything. This is my first time being at Batu Pahat. Clueless, as always. This paragraph is written, while I’m waiting for my chicken chop with mushroom, and mango juice. Typing this on my iPad, with my airpod on noise cancellation. Pushing myself into my own world, alone by myself. I didn’t know that I needed this much peace and a long drive away from KL. For me to be at a foreign place for a while.

5th February 2024 -- 
I should be going back to KL today. But was informed to extend another day since I have a case mention at Yong Peng, Johor tomorrow. Also my first time at Yong Peng. 

6th February 2024 -- 
Today is going to be a busy and long day. Luckily the court is only 3 minutes away from where I am staying. My case is at 8AM, hopefully I get a little bit more time to rest before check out and drive my way back to KL. Approximately a 3 hours drive. Then, by 6:30PM I will have to be at Rawang for a Skyline Luge KL event. With Seth, Izzaaz and Izat. Adulthood is making it so hard to lepak with my own brothers nowadays. I know I will be tired but I don’t have the heart to cancel on them. 

I’m off to work now. Got to wear that lawyer’s mask. Sleek confident lady who dresses clean. Till next time.

Yours truly,

Tun Laila Tun Rafaee

7:52AM

Yong Peng, Johor, Malaysia


p/s editor’s note: My client told me Mahkamah Yong Peng always starts at 8AM. Me being the committed but clueless junior lawyer who have never been here, took his words for it. I’m here at 8AM just to see the courtroom empty, and the bailiff told me the court starts at 9:30AM. I was like…. “exactly courts always starts at 9:30AM, and why did I not trust myself eh”. Kalau aku hempuk nyawa client aku satu ni kan…. ha aku dah la lapar tau XD

The lion is alone no more 🫧

Dear 🫧 This writing is supposed to only thank you for the dinner treat. But here goes what’s on my mind.  I have always known that I have so much love in me, but I have no one to give it to. A significant other. Until I found you. You want it. Thank you for wanting me to love you. Thank you for choosing me, allowing me to pour all my love that I have, to you. I feel chosen and accepted. For the longest of time, I thought I am hard to handle. Especially when everyone said that I am a strong woman. Who can live with no men. But they forget, lumrah manusia yang mempunyai keinginan hidup untuk berpasangan. Bukankah itu yang dicipta Tuhan. “Dan Kami telah ciptakan kamu berpasang-pasangan”  Surah An-Naba: 8 — Yes I am strong, and I am a whole. I don’t need a man to complete me. Because I am complete, myself. But I do need a man to complement me.  I thought I must be aware of men. Cannot let them know that you’re vulnerable. But you show me otherwise. That it is okay to trust a...

"Tengok TikTok Tun Laila, dia dah explain"

Assalamualaikum and hi. Two months have passed, and I just got the time to write. So I can recall and relive the moment.  Some day in February 2024, while I was casually waiting in front of the Immigration, Putrajaya for settling my client's case, like always, I used the time to record a video. The day before that, a case went viral for the Federal Court's decision; Nik Elin v Government of Kelantan. As someone with law background, my followers always ask me on viral cases. I usually refused to comment nor create content about it since I understand an opinion from an outsider can affect the proceeding of a case, even though you are a lawyer. At least that's what I have experienced myself as a greenhorn. But this time, I felt like I needed to discuss on the case since some people took it in the wrong way. Also because it is not an ongoing case anymore, but it has reached the final decision from the highest Malaysian court; the Federal Court.  My intention was only to straigh...

Dear A.

Assalamualaikum and hi.  There was this one time, I questioned God. That if you were not meant for me, then why did our path cross? Because that night, we were not supposed to meet. As I was supposed to come on another date. But some things happened, that I couldn’t come and I was scheduled a new date, with you. Then I asked God, why? Why him? And why me? Had we not met, we would not know each other’s names, nor be taking pictures. You would not know my existence, nor would you give me your number. And I would never…. ever texted you. No texting, meeting, no catching feelings.  Time flies very swiftly. Fast, but it felt right. You put the words together, and I did too. We were both excited to what our future holds. I asked you if you see me in your future, and you said yes. “I want you for a lifetime.”, you said. I hope you know that you made me feel, safe. And understood. And some other foreign feelings I could not express. You’re the easiest guy to communicate to. All this w...
