~ Congratulations People!

hey everyone! It seems that it has been quite a time since i have updated my blog. Well then, 1 week and a half  I was stuck in IIUM as the committee of the Interschool Debating Championship IIUM 2010. It was quite fun being an usherette and time-keeper for the participants from MRSM Balik Pulau for english category. They were Seetha, Masni, Lydia, Jonathan & Cikgu Nani. One week with them, I can tell about how they are thinking & attitude. They were very sporting include their teacher Cikgu Nani! Jonathan was rather nerdy for a form 1 student, Seetha was quite matured in her thinking, Masni is very enthusiastic whenever she gets the chance to POI the opponent and Lydia love to ask a lot of questions. As an usher, I was suppose to usher them wherever they want to go, but then, after a few days, they began to seek advice from me & I began to give moral supports as well as comments and critiques after every match/debate to improve their qualities. (Macamlaa terror sngt je! ahaha... )

You know laa.... being an observer is better and we can see so much mistakes and advantages in a person. So, that was totally me when I started to feel bored waiting for the time to end for every speeches of every speakers. Just imagine! 7 minutes is the limit for every speaker to explain their points, but then, I felt that the time was sOooooooOoo slOw that I could have a great nap in front of the judges. But gosh! I was so thankful I didn't dozed off to sleep.... It was so embarrassing ok when I heard that there were some ushers who did such thing. hehehe.... Well, if only you understand what they are talking about, you might have put full  attention to what they are debating about. Maybe there are some parts that I understand, but mostly, I couldn't catch up with what they are talking about because they talk sOoo FAASTT!!! Some debaters can talk with only one breath!!! whoAa..! But I salute them for their fluency and knowledge. Bijak... Bijakk! hehe..

Anyway, congratulation guys for your effort to go through all the rounds even though you guys didn't make it to the double octo. Not everyone have the spirit as a debater have. So be with it! To Seetha, congratulations to you for receiving the 7th best speaker overall for English category. At least you improved a lot from last year as what Cikgu Nani said laa. hehe...

For my school (SM Islam Hidayah JB) for arabic team, Congratulations people especially Anas Hairozi for receiving the best speaker for the finals and overall 2nd best speaker. Sulaiman also for overall 3rd best speaker, Izzati for your cool face expressions at the finals and 'Asim for being a good time-keeper for them. hehehe.... Hey, it's not easy to achieve what they achieve now because they have to master arab language in order to rebut whatever the opponent says. I'm proud to be their senior. To ustazah Zuraidah & ustaz hassan, your efforts all this while are appreciated and this moment of joy insyaALLAH is the results for all your efforts. Thank You Ustaz wa Ustazah. May ALLAH repays each of your tears & sweat with jannah. Ameen~ Every time I learn arabic in IIUM, It reminds me to ustazah very much of her way of teaching & her voice when she starts to nag at us to learn arabic. Ahhhh~ Memories....... Oh yes, before I forget, to their usherette ZulaiQa Habsyi, hahaha... Congrats for completing your job so well and also congrats for accomplishing your dream to sit at the arena of stage in the finals. hehehe.... Tahniah laa ye semua!
