Admission

Finally. Finally admitted as a Barrister and Solicitor of the Hight Court of New Zealand after missing so many ceremonies since I left for Japan. Somehow, I see admission as a meeting point of a closure of one chapter of my life, and a start to another one.

All dressed up in gown, wig, barrister's band etc. 12 of us were admitted that day with Justice Fogarty as the presiding judge. Mom and Dad were there of course, as well as Anna and Barry. My first address to the Court was quite emotional for me I don't know why. Therefore, it didn't sound too good.. darn!

Anyway, photos were taken around the High Court after the ceremony and obviously I have to pose in the Judge's seat as well as in the dock because who knows, these are the seats I may well end up in one day. Preferably in the former, than in the latter.

Oh, watched QUANTUM of SOLACE just before.
Summary - I didn't understand it.
Conclusion - I still don't.
Opinion - How can a Bond movie be so deep and emo? It's almost like the heroes these days needs to be a bit dark and struggling with their inner self in order for the society to accept them (i.e., similar to Spiderman). It is a freaking movie, so much so, it is a Bond movie. So make it as it is suppose to be - action - that's it. I don't want to think.
