Hey peeps..
So, cerita dia cuti panjang, and hati gian nak tulis, so selongkar la gambar mana yang ada, buat update heh...
Basically, this story went back to 2 years ago, when they asked me to fill up the form for the mooting audition. They asked me to list 3-5 moot competitions that i want to join. If i'm not mistaken, two of what i've listed are Philip C. Jessup and Jean Pictet.
Why these two?
Well, i knew about Jessup since my Asasi year, and for me, Jessup is like the most prestigious moot competition. And those who represent Malaysia, or ever joined this competition is like best of the best. Kalau tak silap, dulu my seniors in UiTM pernah explain about this sort of hierarchy in "moot world". The newbies are so called 'ikan-bilis' and the Jessup team are the 'ikan paus'.
That shall explain everything. So by that time, Jessup is like the ultimate goal even though it's almost impossible.
Next is Jean Pictet...
Erm... for Jean Pictet, I'm not so sure what it is exactly as i've only heard it once from my UKM seniors. Still remember during earlier weeks of 1st semester when UKM moot teams introduced to us the 1st year, what moot really is. And i can still remember the moment they told us about Jean Pictet which took place in Spain on 2014, and UKM is the first Malaysian uni to join that competition.
They showed us pics and explain how cool it is, and the competition went for almost a week.
A week in Spain and competition that involve real life situation, that is major cool, besides the coach is Caucasian...lol, typical malay..
Anyway, thats how i'm amazed by those two competitions and wrote them as my major goal for mooting.. and, during the audition, i still remember how Dr. Matt and Dr. Jedi commented on my 'competition-goals'. They said that those two are impossible for me.. so yeah, devastated, but somehow i manage to join the IHL 2014 team.
And, here come the amazing part..
Somewhere on July or August if i'm not mistaken, i've heard that they're dividing us, the mooters into few teams for different competition, and somehow, i have this wants, that i want to join different types of moot competitions each time ( moot competitions varies from criminals to biz issues to human rights and many more). And i knew that some of my friends and previous IHL teammates are called by Dr. FJ to discuss on Jean Pictet.
Woooooo~ JEAN PICTET man..
i really really want it, but, to be frank, Dr. FJ don't know my existent...lol
I almost crash their meeting, but somehow saya berpijak di bumi yang nyata..hahaha
devastated. again.
They offered me to join IHL team again for the 2015, but yeah, just like what i said before, i want to try something new, despite my lacking..hahahaha
I humbly rejected their offer and greatly happy afterwards when i know two of my bestfriends joined up the team. Totally proud with Tiqah and Jason. They did so great.
Mirically, i got a call from Raymond, my previous teammate from IHL 2014, and he said that we're on the same team. For a competition. Jean Pictet to be exact.. HUH??
And thats how everything begin..
Few weeks after, we got a mooters meeting with Dr FJ and she listed out all the competitions for 15/16 and all the mooters name. She started to divided us into teams and assigned our competition..
Not-so-surprisingly, hahahahaha, she wrote the names for Jean Pictet team, which are Raymond, Wahab (4th year) and me. And, only I'm there, those two are not there.. And here is what Dr.FJ said
" For Jean Pictet, I assigned Raymond to lead the team, and after a discussion, he suggested Syahirah and i suggested Wahab. Well, I'm not sure who is Syahirah. Anyone know who she is?"
I almost laugh at myself..hahahahahahah
"Dr, I'm Syahirah. 2nd year student. Raymond's teammate from IHL2014 team."
*I raised my hand awkwardly...like super awkward*
"Owh...ok" - Dr. FJ
and she continue to complete teams for other competitions and thats how raymond and I assigned for another competition (incase we fail with jean pictet national round). and thats how i'm almost sure that they dont actually put much confident on us to win this thing..
and..somehow, we prove them wrong..
*OMG, i just realized how this first part gonna be extra long*
We only have less than 1 month kot to actually do preparation.. and as that one month we're super busy to complete assignments and what so not, so if i'm not mistaken all three of us only meet up properly less than 5 times kot.. yang lain, pandai2 baca sendiri. And to make it worst, we're not actually sure what Jean Pictet actually is.
Bayangkan, Malaysa pernah join skali je, which is a year ago, and yang join tu pun dah grad, kitorang google pun tak dapat banyak info, and yang kitorang prepare, only based on what the previous team, Team Saw, cerita. As, Jean Pictet is so much different than other moot competition and the materials to read are a whole lot more, so yeah, i'm not sure what i read either.
Apa beza moot competition dengan Jean Pictet?
Erm, yang most obvious ialah moot competition lain, korang ada satu je role, whether korang lawyer, or negotiator. But, dalam Jean Pictet, korang boleh jadi macam2. Maybe korang boleh jadi lawyer, or prime minister or ministers, or delegates or volunteers or terrorist or whatever it is, in one day..
Yes, dalam sehari, korang akan dapat 2,3 watak berbeza.. hahahah
second, kalau dalam moot competition, korang akan dapat soalan or the moot problems or the client profile dalam sebulan sebelum, but in Jean Pictet, u'll know your role and the problems 30-60 mins before. Yeap, hahaha haritu setengah jam je..
3rd, dari part materials yang kena baca, dalam mooting, korang dah tau apa kena baca.. Based on problems yang korang dapat. But for Jean Pictet, you need to read everything, you need to watch everything. Yup, baca and tonton ye kawan2.. during preparation period, i read on international humanitarian law dengan public international law a lot. In these two fields, i read on a lot of things which includes on macam mana cara perang yang sah, orang mana yang boleh bunuh, orang mana yang x boleh bunuh, senjata mana halal haram guna waktu perang, bantuan apa boleh dapat, tempat mana boleh letup, senjata baru mana boleh guna, taktik mana sah nak guna and so on...which is obviously sooooo different than the game, yang x tau nama apa, that i tried before. Someone played his PS, and somehow, i crashed the game.. cant remember tho, tapi yang ingat game tu boleh bunuh2 orang sesuka hati, curi kreta ke apa tah sesuka hati.. and i played the game just because nak rasa perasaan bawak bas, bawak lori dengan naik skuter.. lol.. while he obviously played the game to kill people.. guys...i cant understand them somehow. hahahah.. ok, back to the story.
And i watched a lot of war movies, basically to imagine hows the situation during war, physically and emotionally.. I watched save private ryan and lot more.. including Rwanda.. lol, still ingat.
And joined the national competition.. stress terlampau.. dapat plak kena lawan dengan UPNM, which semua orang tau diorang belajar benda2 ni.. Datang muka semua ala2 askar, i is so takut.. hahaha
gelabah la masing2 dalam bilik moot. hahaha...
Muka cuak tapi acah2 macam tak dengan Raymond, feat bilik berselerak berterabur dengan barang kitorang... ^^
So, hows the competition done..
This is the first time Jean Pictet for national round. And, I'll write here roughly on how the competition done as i'm pretty sure there'll be juniors that will asked about this.. so lepas ni kalau tanya, akak suruh cari my blog je k.. hahahaha
So, for the first day, basically ada taklimat on how the competition akan dijalankan from the organizer which is ICRC Malaysia.. and then few slots from professionals on ICRC roles and on human rights..
Second day, the competition starts. First, they gave us few documents, dalam an hour before. First doc, macam surat or note on appoinment. They will state who u're going to meet and who u are.
And few other documents termasuklah background negara terlibat, map, keratan akhbar, lirik lagu or anything yang relevant. After sejam, competition start.
gambar waktu kuarantin... abang photographer masuk pun dah tak sempat nak layan.. korang nak tangkap gambar ke apa, buat la, akak x sempat layan.. sorry.. tapi akak masihlah perasan korang dok main tangkap gambar kot celah tingkap, siap buat video ulang alik bukak tutup pintu, tapi akak masih usha kertas, acah2 busy.. hehehe..
For first round, the note cakap kitorang jadi orang icrc.. so, kena nego based on our responsibilities.
Lepas dah kena basuh dengan judge, waktu ni lawan Unisza, then tamatlah first round..
2nd round, dia bagi masa setengah jam je preparation, waktu ni lawak.. dalam memo tu, dia tulis team kitorang jadi strategy team, team UPNM jadi legal team.. diorang bagi kitorang situation, suruh kitorang bagi strategi perang, then suruh budak upnm bagi tau dari legal view.. mati kutu kitorang..
so, sebagai budak law yang belajar based on movie je, so sesuka hati je kata yang ni kita ambush, yang ni kita hantar spy, yang ni kita boleh guna drone kot, orang ni kita tembak je, x berharga pun, yang lain tu kita baling bom....hahahah
yang buat benda ni lagi lawak, dalam note meeting tu, dia kata kitorang akan jumpa orang dari pejabat presiden.. so kitorang ingat, owh maybe judges ni orang2 pejabat presiden.. but bila pertandingan start, dengar budak2 upnm panggil judge "Mr. Presiden", baru tau kitorang meeting dengan presiden sebenarnya.. padan la judge nya asyik berdiri, ke hulu ke hilir, dengan mencarut suka hati dia je.. menjiwai watak sungguh,.. presiden rupanya... hahaha
3rd round dengan semua team, ada united nation punya meeting if tak silap, and kitorang jadi delegates for one of the countries involved, and sempatla buat drama bergaduh sebab negara lain tuduh kitorang hantar virus untuk hack diorang punya pertahanan.. waktu tu team iolls so emotional, mati2 x nak kalah kata kitorang tak bersalah. hahaha.. akak so malu sekarang..
nah kau, 6 teams skali lawan, penuh dalam kelas tu.. bertekak la ramai-ramai..
kekdahnya berebut mic.. masing-masing taknak mengaku sapa hantar virus..
habis lawan, semua kembali ke tempat makan, beratur ambik kuih dengan air teh.. lol sangat.
and alhamdulillah, we made it to final ^^
and final jumpa team ni hah... geng international relation Unisza..
malam tu prepare tah pape.. sebab target esok keluar pasal rogol, maka malam tu gigih tengok cerita Rwanda.. kemain berjujuran air mata, emo tengok cerita tu..
alih2 esok bincang tentang benda lain =-='
final kitorang jadi orang icrc balik.. kena pergi penjara ke pusat tahanan apa tah.. kena nego dengan pegawai penjara, mintak kebenaran untuk tengok banduan/tahanan, make sure diorang dapat rawatan, makanan and tak kena dera.. kekdahnya menjiwai watak, merayu-rayu lahai nak masuk.. dan pertama kali dalam sejarah hidup, tak pernah2 syera mencarut waktu lawan, tibahjah, mencarut kat team lawan waktu final.. nasib team kitorang tiga2 mencarut slow2.. lol.. anyway, drama melampau, tak habis cakap judges dah bangun, acah2 ada meeting lain.. terkapai-kapai la si raymond tak puas hati tak habis cakap lagi..
and, alhamdulillah, despite all the carutans, we won..
For the first time ever, i won a competition during my degree years, and we're going international..
InsyaAllah, ada rezeki nanti akan terbanglah seorang Syahirah dengan kejakunannya ke sebuah negara tak jauh mana dari Malaysia..
kot... hahahah
Anyway, thank you so much semua yang terlibat, support our team in all possible ways, yang tolong aku angkut buku dari library gi kreta, yang tolong angkat buku terjatuh berterabur tengah jalan, yang tolong bukak kan pintu bilik moot, yang tolong cover tertidur dalam kelas dan yang sewaktu dengannya... plus, yang tolong tangkap gambar dua tiga hari tu... jarang2 ada gambar waktu pertandingan...
Conclusion dia, apart from nak cerita pengalaman, i just want to share my stories with my fellow friends and juniors, especially the Malays, bukan nak jadi racists ke apa, but i know, majority of us afraid to join moot team sebab kena speaking kan.. macam yang korang baca, even korang pernah encounter me, my english is horrible.. grammar tunggang langgang. X confident pun sebenarnya nak speaking ni..
Even from my background, my family 100% cakap bahasa melayu, sekolah rendah pun sama, sekolah menengah pun sama.. My 'english' moments terhad dalam kelas English je. my non-malay friends tak ramai.. ada la 2,3 ketul.. Stakat anand, devend, karthik dengan dharmika tu, diorang pun cakap bahasa melayu.. anand tu, walau pun siam, mak dia masih lah cikgu sastera.. devend tu bahasa tamil pun dia kena rujuk karthik.. so faham2 je la.. Yang penting, berani untuk cuba, try to explore..
Zaman degree bukannya panjang pun.. nak bersaing dengan ramai orang.. bila ada peluang, ambik.pandai English ke tak, tu belakang cerita. korang boleh improve along the way, aku pun masih dan sentiasa belajar.. kau ingat semua orang masuk mooting tu pandai speaking.. x de maknanya..
so now, instead of tanya kitorang best ke tak mooting, susah ke tak mooting, try it yourself. of course kitorang akan kata mooting damn susah, damn penat and so not berbaloi, but then, after dah join, korang akan tau how the kepuasan really is.. so, believe me, bila ada pluang, brave yourself, and try. We, the mooters always support new people.. kalau korang minat, and sanggup sacrifice, then just let us know, kitorang akan tolong semampu yang boleh..
tu je la kot.. for 2nd part, insyaAllah, bila dah settle next journey, iolls akan update eh..
wish me luck..
Yang penat menaip,
Hera
kasi can akak tampal gambar lemau lepas seharian berlakon jadi macam2.. walaupun akak tak secantik akak askar UPNM, akak nak paste gak gambar akak kat sini.. ada saya kesah ^^
plus, sebab bukan selalu muka akak featured dalam video, plus dalam youtube lagi, so izinkan akak share video ye.. maafkan 'kepoyoan' disitu.. tak tau brapa kali take video tu.. dengan tudung senget benget, faham2 je la, akak melawat tempat tahanan, bukan melawat awak.. lawan cakap pun dengan judge, bukan dengan bae akak... so, anyway, thanks to bro and sis videographer.. gigih sangat temuramah even 2 jam dah habis lawan..
sekian.. doa akak terbang nanti tak buat drama jatuh masuk laut tak pun, headline tv3 student law ukm kena letup disamping kejakunannya.. amiiinnnnn....
