19th Annual Tun Hamid Omar Moot Court Competition

After all the drams behind the moot court competition, the results for preliminary rounds were announced after our last round of mooting session this morning. The first round against Edwin and Cheng Yee went haywire a bit because Sue Ann and I were super uber unprepared and we went panicked. Hence we lost the first round. I admit I was a little upset seeing our effort was kinda wasted because of panic. However we buckled up on our second round and we won the case and the moot as well. The best thing was we were qualified to the semi finals, which was quite unexpected. I was very happy because it definitely means our effort was well paid and acknowledged. We did put lots of effort behind this moot competition, as well as sacrificing much. When I knew for the fact our moot journey is not ending at this stage, my heart takes a little flip, appreciative that I had been given more chances of improving myself. =)


Sue Ann the my moot partner. Senior counsel for the appellant. She got the best speaker during our second round of mooting.

With the respondents in the second round.

Actually during the first round the judge was pretty lenient. Just that we freaked out a bit cause we did not properly cite our authorities. The second round, the judge shot us with questions and I was like what the... It was quite pressuring to answer them and I was tembaking most of the time. Well, everything has came to an end, but we still have our semi finals on the 21st. So till then, all the best to us. Praying hard we will get to the finals. =)
