As I type this, it is 12.36am and I am exhausted to the core of my being. Ming, Yumi, Ken, Danie and I (the Jessup-ers!) have just completed 2 brutal days of mooting preparation. Dr Ahmad Mahsum has been incredibly gracious, giving us his most of his night time this week in helping us prepare. Hopefully our performances this weekend can live up to his (and everybody else’s) expectations.
Yesterday’s session lasted an overall of around 8 hours, while today’s session was a superduperhardcoregilababiultimate 13 hours, starting from 11am till nearly 12 midnight, with the only break coming at dinner time.
Speaking of dinner, a big THANK YOU to Amos for getting some of the guys over to Kachi for a time of food and fellowship. I reallyreallyreally wanted to get some rest after finishing the afternoon Jessup practice, but I am very glad I kept the dinner appointment. Amos, Simon, Foo and Che Ping, that 1 hour really gave me the boost I needed to keep pushing hard. Thank you guys so much for the company and the h_r_m MAN-LOVE encouragement. =D You guys are the best! I wish you guys all the best in pursuing your 1+2 degrees, ya, haha... (For Tok, I think it should be 1+3 degree!)
Well, the Jessup competition begins this weekend – 72 hours time.
****.
All our plans of alternating Jessup and IHL training has basically gone out the window because I think we severely underestimated how much work Jessup was going to require. I think we have managed to nail our arguments, more or less; it is now a matter of trying to iron out our presentations and striving to be, like Dr Mahsum always says: per-suuuuuaaaaaaaaa-sive. And so it all begins again at 12pm tomorrow, live from Cengkeh cafe.
I don’t know how much more persuasive we can get in 3 days, but I do know that at this point in time, my bed is making a very persuasive and eloquent speech to me about the benefits of sleep.
And my neighbours are bleeping blasting their bleeping Indian music as loud as their bleeping speakers will bleeping allow.
Wow.
Fan-freakin’-tastic.
