Background : For some reason, I keep getting invited as a judge for my beloved UiTM's Inter-part Moot Competition. I did once serve my alma matter way back when I could still fit into tight black pants, but I realized I was REALLY out of touch. So this year, the committee kindly invited me formally via e-mail. Here's the actual reply:
...........................................................................................
Dear xxxx,
Thank you for the kind invite.
Unfortunately, I believe my presence would serve very little purpose for the following reasons:
1. I have forgotten everything about mooting and its rules
2. I have not practiced law since graduating, which makes me a bad example for the juniors
3. I have thrown away my only decent black and white suit (I am more of a navy blue and grey kinda dude)
4. I only wake up that early if it's to make money
5. My wife is jealous that some of the juniors might make a pass at me
6. I am concerned I might entertain the above-mentioned juniors
7. As you can probably deduce from this e-mail, I am a rebel who cracks one too many inappropriate jokes, hence making a mockery of your esteemed moot court:)
Anyway, thank you for remembering (or referring to a lecturer who do remember me).
Wishing the club all the best. And remember, life is too short to be wearing black and white all the time :)
Cheers
