Siron in first round :)

Now in fourth round, his favourite motion!

Siron in action!

woot woot! uitm debate was GREAT! what can I say. I was in the same room with all the legend debaters and we (me and siron) broke into quarter finals. despite the SUPER BAD time managment by the organisers, overall it was great. First round was okay. We got 1st and the motion was THBT western liberal democracies should ban the use of ban face veils. My god, we were given almost one hour to prep la.. We even had time to talk about our lives etc. Our motto was basically to enjoy the debate rather than just to win it.

okay, moving on to the 2nd round. We were in room 1. Seriously I was shaking when i saw the match ups and the motion. We were in the same room with Ips and Groobie (MMU), Mara Veterans (Iqbal Hafiz and Shack), and Mior and another guy from IIU. And the motion was, THW Arm Local Militias to Fight the Taliban. i didnt know anything about it. But, guess what, after all the struggling, we got 2ND!!!!! hahahahahaha i was so relieved.. Because we waited for quite a long time for the results and i was frieking out.. If its not because of Siron, i would have been DEAD! trust me, you aint wanna mess with them.


then, 3rd round was awesome. The motion was quite a hard one, THW support the 1Malaysia F1 team. Okay, this debate was quite a humour round, but the adjudicators didnt agree.. nevertheless, we got FIRST!!!!!! we were in the same room with tasneem and habib, danial and senate, and again, ips and groobie. fuhh, this time we were against ips anfd groobie and it was hard. actually, i expected a third place, but yea it was a good debate to end with.


the next day, Sunday was quite bad. fourth round's motion was seriously not my favourite. THW ligalise porn that depicts rape. I didnt know anything about it. Luckily again, i had the best teammate you could ever had, MR. DON SIRON. besides giving others QUITE a negative impression on me, we did quite okay. But, since it was a silent round, i have no idea on what place we got.


ok, now comes the :( part. motion for the quarter finals, THB in an unilateral military offensive by Israel against Iranian nuclear facilities. trust me, i regret not researching on this. Sorry, Siron. We did our best being one of the juniors team in that room. We were against Ips and Mior's group AGAIN. Sick la.. so unlucky. and that was the end of My journey in this tournament.


at the end of the day, i benefited alot. Teamming up with Siron was just great. meeting new people and debating with the best speakers. all the priceless moments. fuhh.. i hope i improved myself and right now, i seriously feel i can mingle with the members of the club. they even call me as their MOTHER la :( haha, that a long story. Having people like neville, teeza and aqilah add more fun to the experience, not forgetting Naga too:) owh yea, talking about Naga, this reminds me that all our adjudicators (Naga, Kath and Wilson) broke into finals! *can still remember how Naga reacted as his name was announced after the other panels. Lol :) that Mauritian guy is seriously wacky :)

we got home super late, almost 12 am. but the experience was priceless. and omg! 4 of us squeezed at the back seat of the van. fuh! never want to do that again. Can't even get oxygen to breathe la. lol. LOVE KDUDA!
