A Small and Unexpected Surprise...


This post follows on from the earlier posts on the Jessup Competition. I have enjoyed, thoroughly, the past two years working with and coaching the UPH Jessup Moot Team (in the photo: Johan, James, Pricilla, Yours Truly, and Nenda). It is always nice to see a group of dedicated and committed students willing to go the whole ten yards and sacrifice a little bit along the way to achieve their goals.


A long story short, they invited me out to dinner last night. I am thinking this is just a chance to say our goodbyes as they are moving on to new and different things in their university careers and me and mine are pulling up stumps and heading back to Australia. This was very much how the evening was going. However, when we were about to call it a night, they surprised me with a cool little book that had photos of our journey over the last two years and a personal note from each of them.


This was a very nice gesture and much appreciated. However,there was more to come. They also gave me an iPod touch. Now, this was not just a nice gesture but also very cool. I am so technologically challenged that it is going to take me some time to work it all out. Yet, it will be fun in doing so. It also happens to be the first Mac thing that I have ever owned.


Now it is off to iTunes and download the necessary software to get started on this journey.

I think you can do so many things with that iPod Touch. Btw, I miss the pizza restaurant in the picture. I love the mushroom. Dang!

Wish you have a safe trip and hopefully we can meet again someday.

Yep, I am learning just what I can do with the iPod Touch. I am still playing round with it.

It was certainly good pizza.

I am sure our paths will cross again some time in the future.

Well, I don't actually consider this is likely to have success.
