My first time solo-working in 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

    For almost a year, my husband left me and our two children. He stopped caring, stopped calling, and was completely gone. I was broken, confused, and nearly lost hope. Then one day, a friend told me about Dr. Dawn, a spiritual man gifted by the universe to help people restore love and peace.

    At first, I was doubtful, but something about his words gave me peace. He told me exactly what was wrong and that someone had cast a strong spell to separate us. He prepared a special spiritual work and a reunion spell for me — and within a few days, my husband called me out of nowhere, crying and asking for forgiveness.

    Since that moment, my life has never been the same. Our marriage is now the sweetest and happiest on earth. We love each other more than ever, and our home is filled with laughter and blessings.

    But that’s not all — Dr. Dawn also helped to clear the bad luck and negative energy that surrounded our family. Since then, everything has been smooth: peace in our home, financial progress, good health, and pure joy.

    I thank the universe every day for leading me to Dr. Dawn. He’s truly a man of divine power and light. If you are going through any situation — heartbreak, bad luck, or confusion — don’t give up. Reach out to him and let the universe work through him to change your story, just like he changed mine.

Baiknya Tuhan pada aku.

Assalamualaikum and hi.  I am typing this in my office, taking a break from Court's Recording Transcript. My heart is full of joy, but I'm on the verge of crying. This blogpost is going to have an expression of my heart, in two different years. One year ago, and today's. Today on 6th March 2025, we have entered Ramadan on 5th day. To be honest, entering Ramadan now has been so emotional because I never really moved on from Ramadan 2024. When I went through a silent and quiet journey of me finding my God, preparing myself for my first ever Umrah. I prayed hard for me to have my period before I flew. So that I can perform my Umrah and pray everyday in Mekah and Madinah. And He granted my exact prayer. I remember I cried happily. After my Umrah journey, I have came back with  my love for my religion and God has grown fonder than ever. But still, I can't quite fathom ways to move on from the Umrah journey itself. It was truly one life-changing experience.  Yet here we are. ...

"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...
