Bond University Mooting Competition Kuala Lumpur 2013

I joined this competition as a junior counsel from Team 3 of Taylor's College Sri Hartamas. 

A month before, my law lecturer told us (my classmates and I) that its easy, you don't have to do extra research, just memorise the script that Bond University will send 2 weeks before the competition. So I was like, "Oh okay. Cool. I'll give it a try then..."
Sadly, it turns out that Bond University already sent the materials about 3 weeks before the competition, and my lecturer send it in to me only about less than a week before me competition. My team members and I got really discouraged. Plus, it wasn't even a script. It was a case and we had to do our own research and what not. We felt like we were conned by our lecturer. 

My team and I got our points together on the night of the competition, and I only slept for an hour on that day, because I was too nervous and I had to memorise my points. 

I had to say, my team did pretty good. My legs and hands were shaking, like REALLY shaking that even my friend could see how obvious it was. I did okay, I memorised my points, and managed to response to most of the questions asked by the judge. I was really nervous, but thank God the judge was really friendly. At the end, the judge commented that I had a 'calm demeanour', and I could only laugh because I know that I was shaking badly. I guess she didn't notice that? Lol I don't know.

After all the obstacles, the moment my team and I walked out of the 'courtroom', we were laughing and all because we're just too happy and relieved that it's all over! It did turn out to be a fun experience. I'm glad I was given the opportunity to join this competition. Even though we didn't win, it was still fun. So yeah, it was worth not getting enough sleep and waking up at 5am on Friday till Sunday.

Cover of The Month: Little Things by Jason Chen

So I was comparing his cover with Sam Tsui's cover of Justin Timberlake's Mirror, and then I was led to this video. Not a fan of the band, but this is like one of my favorite song, and I only found out recently that Ed Sheeran was the one who wrote it, which makes sense to why I like the song. Hehe.

So anyway, I love Jason's voice! If he was to sing this song personally to me, I'd probably be in a coma or something. I love it so much!

As I was listening to this song, I went to Blogger, and my old blogspot account was signed in. And then I saw all the posts about my ex boyfriend. Aww :( Suddenly I miss him. Haha! I can't contact him now though, that'll be so awkward. I created that blog the night he asked me to be his girlfriend. And he created an account on Blogger just so he can read my posts. Aigoo... I was so childish back then. He was a really nice guy. Hope he's doing well, wherever he is now :) The song + the blog. I can't. My feels~ I feel so lonely now lol.

Anyways, here's the video of the cover. Enjoy guys! :D

Foodporn: Plan B - Apple Crumble Tart


I've been looking for apple crumble pie for quite a while now. Been craving for it since the last 2 months.
I was searching all over the Internet for places with good apple crumble pie in KL, and I found out that Journal by Plan B at Publika have 'em. I went there straight away after I finish class. I was so excited lol.


Apple Crumble Tart
with
Vanilla Ice Cream


The price was RM11, which is a reasonable price as the portion was quite big.
It wasn't the best tasting apple pie I've tasted. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.
For me, the cinnamon taste was too strong. But the apple filling wasn't too sweet, and sour. The crumble and the vanilla ice cream made up for it, so I guess it was OK. The crust was really hard and kinda dry. The crumble was alright.

I was kinda disappointed.
So far the best tasting apple crumble pie I had is all the way in Hard Rock Bali. Totally 10 out of 10. I didn't get to take a good picture of it (it was half eaten before I get to take another picture). 

But if you were to go to Plan B, I'd recommend the Prime Beef Pie. My absolute favorite! The portion is big, and the Wagyu beef is just so tender. *Drools*
