THE 8TH IIUM INTERSCHOOL DEBATING CHAMPIONSHIP 2009
24-29 April 2009
IIUM (KAED and AIKOL)

The time has come....
This is the debate we've been waiting for....
FEEL THE EUPHORIA!!!

Well, basically, I got there under the Seri Ayesha School's name as their trainer.
There, I met with my former schoolmates and debate colleagues from SMKA Maahad Hamidiah and KISAS (ouch!)
Unfortunately, I didnt bring my camera on the grand dinner night, so, no pictures on that moment (such a pity...huhu...)

Ok, I don't think any of you want to hear or read anything on the debate details, so I'll just give a brief report on the debate results (English category only, sorry).
Sri Ayesha won 4 prelim rounds but didn't break (that's better than last year, they didn't win any)
Maahad Hamidiah got to the double octo but didn't get any further.
KISAS managed to break last years record by reaching the quarter finals before got killed by SMI Al-Hidayah, Johor.
English category was won by SMK Green Road, Kuching and Malay category won by SMI Al-Hidayah.

Bravo and congratulations to all who participated!!
It's not just winning, it's about the outcome of the debate for you and others. New pals, new perspectives, new interest and new whatever else, you name it.

Here are the pictures of us:

KSAH, we (me and last year's KISAS team) beaten them in the silent round last year

DeBaTe of The Day

For this post, I need to make it a complete full English version because its gotta do with debate.

-9 April 2009, Thursday-

A school I only knew since this year in January, situated in Bangi beside the PKNS Complex. Its a private school, for your information.

So, I went there that Thursday (fortunately that day I remembered to bring my camera!) to do my usual thing; coaching debate for the Sri Ayesha School team. That day, they were having a debate competition for the semi-finalist.
Wow!! I missed a lot since I haven't been there for about a month.

I requested to join in the fun coz,...well... I was craving to speak!!

Man, these children were fantastic! They grew a lot I must say as they spoke, twist, explain and fire like anything during the match!!
Here are some pictures from our battle.........

our heated debate (from left, my team: Razan,Kamaliah and me and the next team: Huzaifah, Dzafirah and Sakinah)

in the next room, another debate is in progress (speaking is Hanif)

the team from left: Syed, Rahman, Fattah, Nafeesa, Mr Rachaad and Huzaifah
Mr Rachaad is from US and has loads of humour up his sleeves!

They may be a bit, you know, childish and you might say immatured, but they have potential intelligence and full of fun, seriously. You will never be bored when you're with them.

the nutty* boys:>> Huzaifah (peacemaker), Fattah (brainwave~), Syed back there ("wit" cream), Rahman (wise-cracker)

and my best friend, Nafeesa.
my mentor, teammate, colleague and associate.
better than me, but I'm not letting it go one-side heavy.

Well, that is all for my day coaching report.
Hope you all gained some cool stuffs from this,... experience of mine.
Guess I'm still actively into debate, huh?

Semuanya gembira dan seronok.
