The 8th IIUM Interschool Debating Championship 2009


I just got back from the closing ceremony.
and it ROCKED!
well we won 3 out of 6 prieliminary rounds and DIDNT qualify for the knockout rounds
but its satisfying to look at ur scores and see how much u deserved to be in those rounds
our scores we're higher than most of the schools in the knockout rounds but its fairer to pick teams based on wins coz somehow we cud've easily scored high when we pounded on easy
 schools kan.
this year really meant sumthing for me as i managed to get an overall best speaker number 13 ( out of the 418 speakers)
yeay !~ alhamdulillah..
its a shame i only had to beat 3 people to get to the top 10 best speakers. waaa
its reaaallly an achievement for me
its a good thing that i got a tie on the 13th spot with izzat my 2nd speaker
we'll improve some more in time for debate fest insyaAllah.
*sorry, no pictures with the blazers on. hehe
