GSDC 2009

Hello people! I'm back =)

Okay, I have to admit that I dont have much time. Well, Great Serdang Debate was held on the 4th till 7th of Dec. I can still remember us taking lots of picture on friday since it was our last day for that semester. I had to sacrifice the Broga Outing Camp for pre-university students so that i could go for gsd. But, at the end of the day, i gained alot of experience and had fun =)

Moving on.. At first, I did not know who my debating partner was since Miss Sathya did not allow Kath to debate. Then, i recieved a text from Naga. and... I was to debate with him! fuhh.. I was really scared and nervous. My hands were shaking. Well, this is his first tournament and I was scared if I would pull him down or affect his performance as I wasnt too confident of myself on guiding him. And, i've never team up with him.

Luckily we managed to have 3 rounds of training before friday. although it wasnt enough, somehow it helped me to understand his style of debating so that i could adjust and go with the flow. Friday (4th) was awesome! Mr george was late to class and we had quite a good time bonding with the rest and taking pictures. thank god Mr.George didnt leave us too late, so I had enough time to go home and pack my stuff. We left kdu at 2pm.

I had lots of fun working with Naga. It was totally different because somehow it wasnt stressful and Naga has so much matter =) He's a good debator and he really improved throughout the day. I learned how to adapt and I still gotta improve my analysis. I enjoyed the fourth prelim where we met maxx and ran and we had sharmila as our adju! i was really nervous and i didnt do a good job. Credits to Naga for pulling us up to 2nd place! We were not as good as maxx and ranjani or julius and siron, but we were good enough to break! Congrats to Naga for breaking in his first tournament :) owh yea i forgot one more thing, he used Trishul as his debating name.. (he said its luckier). Hope he didnt have a hard time guiding me as well.

In a nutshell, there is so much more for me to improve especially ANALYSIS!! I thank Naga for adding more memories into my debating journey and yea i am looking forward to debate with you again :)
