Debating in BM and Personal Glory...

Last night, we had an awesome debate with the team from INTEC.. IN Bahasa Malaysia!!! And i was in the team representing my college. I was so nervous and excited when we were prepping for the match. It's been a long looonnngg time since i last debated in Bahasa Malaysia. I even practised in front of the bathroom mirror (That's the bigger mirror i can get... With full-view of my entire upper body... So i'm not complaining!) and i sounded so weird trying to speak Bahasa baku... I even laughed at myself because i was practically stunned.

Good thing i had a very strong team, consisting of Iejan (my absolutely wise and witty team-mate back when we were joining BM debate in our first year) and Hidir + Jija (our equally wise and hardworking juniors). We helped each other with our points and argumentation and all was great because we were just so in-tuned with each other. Really enjoy working in an awesome team with smooth, effective dynamic.

We were up against so smart-alecs from INTEC, they came late... Booo Hooo... And they were unprepared. We absolutely kicked their sorry asses during the match. Iejan was being his usual whimsical and yet commanding self. Hidir was calm and collected as the second speaker thanks to Jija helping him to come up with his speech. And i was really sarcastic and mean as the whip speaker. i practically whipped the sweats out of the INTEC speakers... (cue evil grin....)

By the end of the match, they were looking so defeated and we were just happy that we gave our best performance despite not debating for so long already. Unfortunately, we lost to INTEC because we made the mistake of rejecting their case although we could've just accepted and attacked them straight-up. It was a lost with small margin, but we had so much fun.

I was even named as the best fricking speaker in the match... Seriously! I was caught by suprise by that announcement. This means a lot to me because when i started public speaking in primary school, i started with BM... So nostalgic and magical...

We invited them back for rematch and i'm sure we gonna kick their asses even more strongly the next time they come... Revenge needs to be seek, Justice needs to be served...

Till the next post then...
