外表就是像個大小孩一樣，說話的時候臉部表情多多、逗趣是他給人的第一印象。

踏入他的律師樓的第一個感覺，這不像一間律師樓。他遞了一張“餐單”給我，一張有開胃菜、主 菜，及甜品供選擇的菜單，他說：“除了一般律師樓提供的服務（開胃菜）以外，我們可以給你更多選擇，創意的選擇，誰說法律一定要循規蹈矩的刻板？”

While we are celebrating some encouraging comments on our services (including a testimony in kind for Ee Zheng who spots a new ‘B’randed purse, a gift from the client for a job well done by the client), there is a growing concern over our frontline in managing the incoming contacts. We are allocating time and resources to rectify this and appreciate your understanding for any inconvenience. It’s a growing pain but we are not buying it…

While the Samba Boys lived by the philosophy that attack is the best form of defence, you wouldn’t make it without a reliable back 4 as the history has illustrated time after time… Football after all is a team sport!
