Hongkong Moot and Adventure
Sunday, April 1st, 2007Now is the right time to blog. My weather-shock is gone, my normal temperature is back and the best thing is that I have free internet access.
Where do I begin? Hmmmm lemme see…
Let me begin on the serious stuff first. The XU-Philippine Team placed in the Semi-Final Rounds of the 5th Asia Pacific Moot Competition held in Hongkong. Moreover, it was declared that we are on the top 6 out of the 18 particpating schools in Asia-Pacific. Sidney U and Hongkong U fought for the Championship rounds. Sidney U bagged the bacon as expected. If XU-Philippine Team went to the finals against Sidney U, it would have been a close match. Sour graping or Sweet Lemoning? (–,)
So much for that. Let’s go to the fun-fun side of the events. Seeing different people wearing different clothes that depict their cultures, having conversation with them in different accents and styles to get messages accross just amazed me in alike manner that my dopamine rises to a threshold level.
The bus rides after competition rounds were the best time to socialize since everyone is in a relax state. I had the chance to chat with some of the team members from Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, New Zealand, Taiwan, Hongkong, South Korea, Beijing, and all those I forgot. I have my own style of starting a conversation which I’d rather keep to myself so it’ll remain original..hehe..It’s really no big deal, so hang-on because I might tell you in the next few lines. Now, because of that unique technique of mine which requires a littles confidence, I have befriended and befriendsterred almost all of the delegates. It’s so simple and yet really fun for events where different countries are involved. Ooops…my time is up..I’ll tell you in my next blog.=D
