Dato CQ TEO High School Debate Championship :)

Hello people! Woot Woot!

KDU College organised our 7th Dato' CQ TEO Debate from the 12th of March till 14th of March 2010. And OF COURSE, KDUDA was the ones who were into it.

Firstly, thanks a million to all for making this tournament a really successful one, especially the tabbers! You guys are AWESOME! lol. thanks for giving me the opportunity to be part of the committee and on top of that, appointing me as one of the Deputy Chief Adjudicator! Seriously, I've learnt alot plus, I have more confidence in adjudicating and giving out oral feedback. And also, thanks alot to our tournament advisor! Miss Tasneem =) you rock!

Next, I thank all schools for joining and adding more into our tournament as your presence made it merrier :) Congrats to all of you who advanced to the next rounds and to those of you who didnt, im sure i'll be seeing more of you next year. So, all the best and don't give up! I am really suprised to see how the students nowadays have advanced because they are able to debate on really tough world politics and economics motions. This shows and proves that high school students are competitive and attentive about the current issues. Its proud to see teens nowadays are getting more and more intellectual :)

Alright, in the grand finale, we had SMK King George V as government and SMK Sri Permata as oppositon and the motion debated was THBT religious sites are legitimate military targets in times of war. Its was quite entertaining and interesting to see how tsubs and arvind aka shrimp teasing one and another on stage! lol anyways, it was a 8 to 1 split and opp won! Congrats to Sri Permata :) You guys did a good job! And Congrats to Tsubasa for being awarded as the best speaker for the finals, something he deserves.

finally..

Hey peeps! its been ages since i posted something. Since today was considerably fun, let me share it with you guys =)

Well, I created history today! lol I woke up late, 8am which is really late because traffic nowadays is unexpectable so no matter what, I gotta leave 30 mins earlier to college. classes started at 9am today. Despite the fact of being late, I managed to take my shower and wash my hair, applied serum and another saloon tingy and i was ready by 8.25 am! isn't it a miracle?? lol!

By 8.30am, I was already on LDP. Suprisingly, traffic wasn't that bad and i reached college 15 minutes earlier. yes, 15 MINUTES! hahahaha! unbelievable? believe it people! lol

Then, had Maths class as usual followed by Stats and Bio and Physics later.. Matthew performed today =) I knew him through KDUDA and i guess we're good friends now. He's really awesome and is a SUPERB Mass Comm freak! lol =) he's like the Malaysian version of Jason Mraz. Oh, actually he and his colleagues organised a valentine's celebration tingy (10th & 11th Feb) and its pretty fun. Highlight of the day was Neville's performance ( another friend via KDUDA ). Seriously, I was shocked. He can really sing la.. I thank Dipti for dragging me to the square to get drinks coz if not, I would have missed it :)

Dear Matthew, extremely sorry for not buying flowers okay.. Im really broke la. Nigel, Santhana and Naga bought roses. Santhana is giving it to her mum, Naga gave it to Ranjani, but NIGEL gave it to SOMEONE and he's not telling us who it is! I guess NIGEL IS IN LOVE! lol. He's really bad la..

After a few weeks, finally today I attended debate training. I was chairing and trust me, it was really hard to decide because everything was hanging all over the place and was a lil messy. It was on US sending more troops to Afghan. Its quite generic but hard at the same time. I guess i have to boost up my confidence coz I'm always scared to give oral adj.. Never mind, I'll learn and improve! lol. I really miss debating so much.. I want to go for MDO but Im sure i cant coz its at Malacca and if I do go, i'll be wasting to weekends of studying. So yea, have to sacrifice debating
:(

Guess i'll stop here for now. Need to get back to work! See you =)

shop till u drop!

Hey peeps!

2010 has brought me many pleasant memories so far. Had one of the best countdown party with family and headed to Kuala Selangor the next day. We had a mini BBQ party which ended up to be not so mini. lol. and my beloved uncles bought fireworks!! awesome night we had.. The best part of Kuala Selangor is of course Kampung Kuantan which is a paradise of fireflies =) I would never forget this trip and I miss all of them so much, chaotic and fun people! haha.

I never regret waking up early and following my mum to her office near Masjid Jamek. At first, i was so pissed because I had to wake up at 6am and wear formal clothes. But then, its been awhile since I met the people there, so i managed to coax myself. After doing whatever she was supposed to do, my mum decided to head to a boutique in Jalan Kuching, suprisingly.

I was so shocked because she didn't mention anything to me about this. My shopaholic senses were activated! hahaha! Seriously, everything was so nice and the price was so reasonable. Both my mum and I had a hard time choosing our clothes as everything was so niceeeee... hehe. Im in love with a dress I saw and its only rm 100 but my mum gave me a BIG no because its short as in above my knees... sob sob..

At last, I bought FOUR blouses and one pants! lols and it was soooo cheap, only rm 180!! My mum can really negotiate la! She bought two blouses. I really love my blouses becuase I dont have anything like it and I always wanted them. I'll make sure i upload the pictures later! My dream came true =) Thank god I woke up in the morning. haha.

Hello 2010!

2009 had many impacts to my life. Positively and negatively of course.

2009 showed me the true colours of Malaysia which made me evolve and now understand what it takes to be successful. Education is almost everything, but its NOT everything.

2009 made me wake up and grow tougher, teaching me important lessons, somethings i would never ever forget, painful things especially adding more to my stubbornness of giving up.

2009 made me work, learn the life of almost an accountant and how I should manage my time so that things could be done before the eleventh hour.

2009 gave me hope, passion and created a platform for me to begin with, something which i could hold on to and showed me battles that need to be fought through.

2009 reminded me, the real aim of me being alive, the real people that I need, the real people that would help and not to give up no matter how bad the bruise is.

2009 introduced KDU to me, the turning point in my life, almost my second home, adding memories that I would never forget, and friends that would really stick with me through thick or thin.

2009 added KDUDA in me, giving me a new family, to share all the laughters and cries, to learn and discover, paths that I had never chosen, and being the major factor of evolvement in me.

2009 had killed me to a certain extend, knocked my head, triggered my mind, adding more stories in this book of journey. Lets see what would 2010 be...

SDO 2009

The following weekend after GSD, KDUDA headed to SINGAPORE =) and indeed Im very lucky to join them again. Match ups were Julius and Siron and Kathleen and I. Ranjani and Maxx were adjudicators. Results:

Siron and Julius broke, Kathleen and I didnt. Maxx broke into semis.

Thanks to Siron, we had our accomodation settled. His family members are really nice people and they helped us alot. Singapore is a VERY neat country in comparison to Malaysia. Hopefully our country too would develop to that level soon. Its just nice to see the buses and cars giving way for us to cross at the zebra crossings. Of course you can never get that in Malaysia, YET. lol.

Since most of us were on a tight budget, we tried to suppress our desires to shop. haha. Friday morning, we decided to go to the zoo. Really awesome! most of the animals were not in cages and they even had penguins! I really enjoyed taking pictures =)

After dinner, we took a bus to orchard road. Really beautiful decorations along the road with huge christmas trees.

Saturday morning, the game started. First round, both kdu teams were in the same room. Siron and Julius won, we got 2nd. The other 3 rounds were really messed up for kath and I. As a whole, things were really dissapointing. Obviously I gotta work ALOT more! My worst tournament ever. Haih.. Seriously.. i disagreed with the results of the fourth and second round. But yea, there is so much more to polish. In finals were Tasneem, Kandahar, Ashok and also another team ( forgot dy). Ashok and Satya won.

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 :)
