In which court can you find someone who become a judge without becoming a lawyer? In a badminton court :)
I was a volunteer for SUKIPT (SUKan Institusi Pengajian Tinggi) badminton. Sukipt is a sports competition as a selection for the ASEAN University Games(AUG) in Laos this december. So, there is participation by community colleges, local and private universities, polytechnics, basically all tertiary education institutions.
My job was a Line Judge...ah, I'm a judge in a court without even having to be a lawyer...hihi.
Badminton court lines and shuttlecock was what I had to look at throughout my service as a line judge.
I don't know why but I feel very sleepy being a line judge, maybe I'm not so interested in Badminton? A comment from the Umpire and referees was that I did a really good job as a Line judge on the first day. All the Umpire and Referee praised me, they said I was alert and very professional.. LoL, the Best line judge for Day 1.
Anyway, the job started on Sunday evening after PKV's "THE Camp". We started by fixing the masking tape on the badminton courts at night. The next day we were briefed which line to judge and what signals to give as well as how to walk in and out of the court. T-shirts sizes was a problem cause the organizer just gave equal amounts of each t-shirt size. This might be the organizer's strategy to force volunteers to buy sukipt shirts..hihi.
moved the badminton courts, watch lines, do signals... of cause i made a few mistakes and i feel really embarrassed but overall it went well. We only got 3 signals; in, out and didn't see.
Next topic,
On Sunday, I went for the Silat Gayong ceremony of taking students...apparently it's call mandi tapak/mandi seni/ mandi perlimau.
Seated by age seniority and write our name with mothers name (nama binti mak) on the ikrar paper then had prayers then the Atuk told our characters-for me," i want to lead but have to put in more effort in it", then we choose a lime. The Atuk cut sliced the lime and counted how many pulp it has and recorded it down then we mandi bunga and limau nipis (Lime)...then prayers and drink some water, then the Atuk used a 500 years old sword and hit our wrist non stop. For the girls only 3 girls were chosen, the rest is on volunteer basis. He suppose to hit 7 times only...but some he hit less and some he hit more...he said he hit based on how much we can take in-teachers know how much the students can take.
If we are sinful, the effect of the hit would be evident but if we are clean and sinless the wrist will have no evident at all of the sword.
i was hit 5 times, there was only 4 lines was evident cause of the double hit on a line and it looks like I got gills on my wrist, LoL. My lime was 11 with a dot.
Then was Q and A...
We asked about the counting of limes and why the 3 girls are chosen..
The 3 girls chosen were the most charismatic and outstanding ones and this is the first time the atuk meet them and there was no interaction between us and the atuk before he talk about our characteristics and the choosing of the 3 lucky ones.
He said the 3 lucky girls were the one whose aura is similar to him...woah...
Then the lime is reading how much teacher has to teach us...
if 11 with a dot means when teacher teach, i can understand but if I do not practise or revise I will forget.
12 means have to teach more than once for them to understand thea teaching. 13 means catches the teaching very fast but after a while forget what was taught. Dot means the lime pulp were not in a perfect circle shape.
Atuk said Silat without religion will make Silat bad. But Silat is actually just a adat. It is for self defence and not fighting. Silat is from the word Silaturahim which means we are all brothers and sisters now.
