🎓 Twenty Years Later

Last night, I attended my BAC reunion dinner.

It was wonderful catching up with old friends, former classmates, lecturers, and seeing the founder whose vision helped shape the journeys of so many of us.

🧭 Stay the course.
🚗 Go the distance.

Just fans enjoying the game, the conversations, and the shared experience.

Sleep can wait.

Memories can't.

Stay the course. Go the distance.

Drove from Klang to KL at 2.45 a.m. to watch English football with a client. ⚽️

Completely rational?

Probably not. 😂

Worth it?

Absolutely.

Football has a way of bringing people together. For a few hours, we're not lawyers or clients.

Rain or shine.

Stay the course.

🏃‍♂️ Rain or Shine

Just got back from a run.

The weather wasn't perfect.

It looked like it might rain.

And it did rain a lot.

But I went anyway.

I love the journey.

Running reminds me that every meaningful destination is reached the same way:

One step at a time

[Alfred Chong @alfredcyl]

Most people overestimate what they can do in a year.

They underestimate what they can build in a decade.

Make the deposits.

Trust the compounding.

Go the distance.

Enough is when you stop comparing ledgers and start appreciating your life.

[Alfred Chong @alfredcyl]

Complex problems are solved with wisdom compounded from multiple ledgers.

[Alfred Chong @alfredcyl]

Young Alfred wanted certainty.

Older Alfred learned something better.

Make the deposits into multiple ledgers.

Trust the compounding.

The dots will connect later.

Grateful for the opportunity to learn alongside experienced counsel and for my chambering student to experience it as well.

Always learning. Always improving.

Stay the course. Go the distance.

Spending part of today attending a mock trial organised by a good friend and senior counsel.

One thing legal practice has taught me:

Learning never stops.

Even though it's a mock trial, I'm taking it seriously.

The best time to sharpen the saw is before you need it.

Abundance begins when you learn to see value where others do not.

When I eat fish, I eat the head and the tail.
Most people want the fillet.
Life is the same.
Many people compete for the same opportunities, titles, and recognition.
I've found some of the best opportunities in places others overlook.

[Alfred Chong @alfredcyl]

I didn't experience a midlife crisis.

I experienced a midlife spring.

Not because life suddenly became easy.

But because I could finally see the compounding from years of small deposits.

The seeds were emerging.

The dots were connecting.

As a lawyer with 9+ years in practice, I still consider myself a student.
The drive back to Klang was beautiful too. Plenty of time to reflect on the lessons shared.
Grateful for the food, the company, and the journey.

Dim sum at Marriott PJ today.
Good food, but the real value was the opportunity to spend time with senior counsel and learn from their experience.
One of the privileges of practice is learning from those who have walked the path before us.

Good judgment is the interest earned on decades of learning, mistakes, and reflection.

A trip to the market this morning reminded me of something.

One of the blessings of building my own practice is flexibility.

When I'm not in court, I get to fetch my children, run family errands, and be present for ordinary moments.

The older I get, the more I realize:
