-HistoricaL EveNt? MaYbE-
Its yet another week and I must confess... I've been late for 4 days of the past week! I wondered if the dentist would have given me a longer mc had he known that I was working? If he had thought I was studying, that probably might have make some sense as to why he gave me mc over the weekend right? Bleah... Somehow the medication made me really lethargic but I managed to do work alright.
Thankfully the pain has decreased significantly and though I still can't speak properly, I sure hope that I would get my speech back once the stitches are removed.
Ok, back to my heading for today. So what historical event right? Yesterday, I had my first exciting event since I started work. Why exciting? It started out on Wednesday evening when I got into the lift with one of the partners and as he entered the lift, he went: "Yi (for about 2 secs) mei, do you want to help me arrest a ship?"
As the idea stayed in my head through the whole night, I wondered, why not? It sounded really exciting and though I had not taken Shipping Law, I can alwiz try to learn right? So on thursday, I hopped onto the wagon for the arrest.
To keep the story short, the ship that we arrested wasn't as big as I had thought initially. Mention ship and the picture that pops up in my mind include tankers and cargo ships. But not these two, they are similar to ferry boats and not that big. STILL, its my very first time witnessing a ship arrest!
So off we went, 1 secretary, 1 court clerk, 1 paralegal aka me, 2 pupils, 3 associates and 1 partner. Quite a big group for an arrest of 2 cruise boats (which are empty by the way) but nevertheless, exciting!
Here are the photos taken yesterday!
And there we are, taking group photos after the arrest was accomplished. It was only when I got to the pier then I found out that it was the pier's last day in function! As one of the associates mentioned, we probably made history for being the last persons making a ship arrest and departing from clifford pier! Hahahahaha...
There you have it! This one exciting little event taken out from my working life. Cool isn't it? I sure hope to get a chance to witness an arrest of one of those huge tankers or cargo ships!
