A journey

That was 1982.
He signed up for his London External
And bought his Holborn Law Tutorials.
Then came 1984
He said bye-bye to his Law.

Fifteen years later
Towards the end of his second career
He took up his LLB once more
And became a student at Advance Law Tutorial
Among a class of teenagers.

They called him 'uncle'
As he was the eldest of all.
He was 47 and not more.
Four years later
He too emerged a winner amongst them all.

And to pursue his dream further
He returned to Pantai Valley once more
After a lapse of 27 years.
This time, to realise his dream of a professional
Alas, he missed the boat by just a little
And had to postpone his dream a year after.

He continued at the Brickfields Law Tutors
Just to meet with a greater failure
Before his final victory a year later.

All in all
A journey of seven years
In the wilderness of the city Capital...

Alone but not so lonely
Rewarding at times frustrating
But most of all...
E-n-l-i-g-h-t-e-n-i-n-g.

LLB, oh CLP !

As Winston Churchill said in 1941... "Never, never, never, never give up!".

What an amazing story of will and determination, and should serve as an inspiration to everyone especially in these times of world economic crisis.
