The Power! Of! Attorney!!!

Got my practicing certificate. It looks really crappy for something so important. Think A4 laser printed with low res court seal obviously cut and pasted in.

Still, it's a start.

What's that mister postman? A letter from the Law Society for me?

Ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease...

"That Derek Tee Chong Wee be granted a Practising Certificate..."

Yes! yes! Who da man? ME da man! Yee ha! Get your recommended daily intake of vitamin Wee! Right here!

"...upon application to the Law Society."

Huh?! So all I was applying for was the right to apply?! For crying out loud! The humanity! The arse-grabbing, pen-pushing, cock-blocking humanity!!!

"Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends."

Notice that Janis Joplin doesn't sing 'Lexus' or 'Honda' or (shiver) 'BMW'. You may say, 'Hmph, it's because nothing else rhymes with amends' but deep down you know there's something about Merc.

The W123.223 is so well known it's got its own wikipedia entry! I've got the 230E (E for Einspritzung!).

Fuel injection, power-assisted ABS, air-con, power steering, and it was made in 1981 - the year before I left Singapore. These big beauties were the apex of childhood opulence and now I own one.

That's it there in my garage!
