Debat Perpaduan dan Integrasi Nasional 2009

My first intra-varsity debate
n its in de MALAY language!

haha

went to UNIMAS last week for dis debate

before dat had been training for around 1 week

FIRST DAY:

3 rounds for de first day

unfortunately lost to UTM in de first round

tot we could win, but de judges voted 2-1 against us

kinda disappointed, esp me

coz my team members r both seniors n they r de defending champion of Debat Diraja (highest level of malay debate)

de first speaker is even de champion for pidato antarabangsa, n de third is de best speaker for de Debat Diraja

all considered veteran la

so i was a lil down after de first round

but we managed to bounce back,

beat UNIMAP 3-0, with a margin of 8 (maximum is 12, margin is sort of like de point difference la)

then beat UUM 3-0,with a margi of 5.67 (if im not mistaken)

sory la, ee kai n wong

haha

SECOND DAY:

have to win all matches or at least 2 matches today to break into top 8

won de first against UKM (won 3-0)

but lost de second to UTP (lost 2-1)

dat time we were reali worried

coz if we lost de last round means we r out

but again we did our best to beat UTM (met them again after losing de first round)

dis time we beat them 3-0

so we broke into top 8, ranked at no. 5

THIRD DAY:

dis is de knock-out round day

quarters up against UPSI (ranked 4th)

we won quite comfortably (won4-1, dis time there r 4 judges)

in semis we were up againt UiTM (ranked 1st)

we lost

though it was a very close fight

de judges voted 5-0 against us, based only on de sesi penggulungan (de sesi penghujahan n bidasan was very close fight)

but still my team's 3rd speaker got de Best Speaker for dis round, although we lost

so there ends our journey

after dat all of us debaters n supporters r treated to sarawak's cultural village

damn nervous

FINAL DAY:

Finals is between UiTM n UM

but it was clearly UiTM who were de better n sronger team

n they indeed won

then it was de prize giving ceremony :)

took pics wif de UiTM team. It seems dat UPM n UiTM r good frens, owes having friendly wif each other. dats y we r close

might be joining again next yr

hopefully wif better result

dats all i guess

P/s: oh ya, i ranked 26th out of around 80 debaters. Quite happy la. Haha...

Cheers! :)
