madness

since i have been practically invisible for the last EIGHT days, i would like to write about it. so nobody should ever read this for their own sake

dear bloggie,

WUPID 2010 was zeee best thing i have ever done for years ! (besides watching movie, eat and sleep though) I couldn't believe i had so much fun with complete strangers that i just met there. Being the youngest runner has its benefits i supposed, and i instantly made friends with everyone. Of course i am missing them so much already. Who knew debaters had their own kind of shine there, that made me feel insecure about myself there because i have to admit, i am nothing like them. NOTHING.

Seeing all kinds of people from every parts of the world was completely outrageous. The best part was that i was one of those people who need to get mineral water for those in thirst, serve lunch for hungry lions and show them which room to go so that they didn't end up in andalusia. working, doesn't mean that you could not have fun. the first day being with all the runners, was terrific! we played different kind of games like killer, bingo, how many horses passed by and such. and i have to say it was hilarious. i mean who would've ever thought that hearing the taps of horses would drive you as crazy as hell. i hated that, but once you knew the answer, you just wanted to kill the person who made the game in the first place. it drove me completely mad.

then came the registration day where people either went to the pullman hotel or college, and i was in charge in the college. i believe that i have the right to say that when anybody tells you that you'll be staying in a hostel, PLEASE DON'T EXPECT TO MUCH. hostels do not have pails, bathtubs, soaps and such for you, so be grateful. hahaha. yeah yeah you are not comfortable, so do i care? though, i really tried my best to offer the greatest pr job ever, but no i cant buy pails for you. tq. later that night, pan, raja and myself went to maulana for a mamak fiesta woohoo. is there anything that a mamak CAN'T do for you besides not having a great roti naan? noooo. so we went to pullman after all and the next day started.

pullman, is absolutely beautiful, amazing and just jaw dropping. it is located in putrajaya, away from the hustle and bustle of city and has 4 different settings in the hotel. ohh yeeaaahh. first round of wupid was in upm, so it was such an exhausting day. the first round will always be an absolute mess, but we kindda got a whole of it later on. debate, was fantastic. everybody laid out really good arguments and it was damn hard for the adjudicators to decide who's first. i saw monash australia team during the second round and it blew my mind. it was like they had the whole wikipedia and almanac in my mind and i just couldnt believe it. however, though it was hard to take everything in, the other good teams too was as well prepared as the monash teams. UNBELIEVABLE i have to say, to find people with mighty minds like that. it was terrible for me to think that reading readers digest every month would get me on the same par. this goes on for the other rounds too, seeing the debaters spoke their hearts out about the issues that never even relate to their lives and how much they care about it. observing people around the world argue for something they believe in with wisdom and passion, it was utterly beautiful. because debate, is not about saying no to others, it is about fighting for what you believe in and make no excuses for that. it is about finding the best solution and open your minds about what others are thinking and presuming. making every thoughts count and every action good, that is what it truly means.

hihihi :) okay now who's the new wisdom guy aite? haha. so after the absolutely lunatic round of debate, it was FREE DAY !! the night before that, i met rendy and jee from indonesia and they were awesome! we played killers with everyone sab, bear, suff, sheril, zul, anis, ima, raja. later on ashok, robin and kelvin joined us. it was absolutely fun! i have to say the best killer so far was rendy because he literally killed everyone without the police even noticing. what a lousy police hihihi. i also learned billy billy swift with them and i drove me crazyy !!! i mean seriously, i even went back to my hotel room to take a shower and freshen up my stupid mind to find the answer of the absurd game. and to make things worse, the answer was there all along. what a bummer. not only me who went mad, everyone actually went lunatic too to help me out with the answer, and when don did it, for the 100th time, i actually got it !!! hahaha what a night. we even carried on playing killers until the night, and even after swimming the next day. call us the killing addicts :)

next day was zeee last day. the quarters, semis and finals. and oh my it was damn hard ! i leave the decision making to the judges as i have absolutely NO idea who should proceed. the cambrigde team was good, so was the sydney team. in my room where i was in, cambridge got first, followed by nus and such. and you know who was the finalist? CAMBRIDGE, SYDNEY, MONASH andd NUS. go go asians!! though malaysian teams couldnt make it to the finals, i thought they did great. even so, tasneem from iium got into the top 10 best speakers in wupid, Congrates!

and last but not least, the winner of WUPID 2010 goes to NUS !! asians rule the wupid !! woohoo.
congratulations to imran and robin for snatching away the five thousand ringgit and grabbed the big bowl of trophy. i am proud to be asian ! hahaha
and the night ended foully with everyone going away to their respective hometowns, i will be missing wupid so much. thank you to everyone (esp yunus) who gave me this once in a lifetime opportunity to learn and experience being with all these crazy debaters. till we meet again ! adios !

Finally

woohoo. finally aite? You think i forgot about you blog? NEVER !

well actually i did forget because i have kinnda shifted to tumblr but hey, look who's writing here again? Since this particular medium of expression is so well, public, it is kindda hard to really leak out all the nasty infos about me but i'll try my best. My current update would be WUPID. World Universities Peace Invitational Debate, look it up. As ridiculous and it sounds, i will be one of the volunteers in the particular debate. YEAH ! I know it sounds exciting and cool (it really is) , however i an kind of afraid and shivering actually because I'll be the ONLY secondary school student to be a volunteer. All thanx to Mr. Yunus who had been so kind to give this one in a lifetime opportunity.

so if anybody misses me just contact my phone number, hahaha. i'll be off till next thursday, BYEE!!!

HKSBP zon selatan 2010

hello again blog. so nice to finally write to you

this is something i will never forget. for the past hectic four days, i was in hksbp zon selatan in samura. well, it had  been a life changing experience being there withh all debaters, bahas and basket, and we've been through soooo much. so now gonna reveal a few things bout it. stf was in da same group with other 6 sbps, i guess. 1st match with sasaer, second was with smssi, 3rd with cant remember. 4th with mozac, 5th with sdar and lastly with sakti. alhamdullilah, stf won all 6 matches and became the group winner. it was one more small step to finally go to paser putih, but unlucky for us, we lost with samura. so it concluded dat samura and tkc are gonna go to national.

it was heartbreaking really, after all we've been through, just dis one match we lost had changed everything. i know, who am i to comment about the decision, let  the people around you tell what was supposed to happen. couldnt figure out, wat was wrong, because i never had the confidence about winning like i had after the match with samura, but again, who am i to judge. i believe everything happened for a very good reason, that sometimes you might know nothing about, but as long as yoou believe that's the best for you, then you just have to accept it. sorry everyone, friends and families, who had been so good to support and ask about our condition, but the frustration in me, is still there, buried and lonely, and i just dont have the nerve to tell you about the bad news, because me myself cant believe what had just happened to us. i'm really sorry and i hope by writing in this, you all will know how i felt bad about not telling you,  because just by saying the words it hurts.

now, i am trying real hard to accept this, because i believe winning is not everything, but wanting to win is. maybe because we want to win sooo badly, it hurts more. yet, i am not being ungrateful to God,  i know whatever he decided, it's the best for us. i'm sure bout that. im thankful, that i have had the chance to eexperience everything, the exhaustion, the tiredness, the winnings, and losing. i had the chance to be in a team, and uphold the same thing, and believe that everyone was needed to help each other, and had people who was there when we needed. THANX A ZILLION, to my teammates, KQis, Pika, Dammy, the backbone of every success, Kimi. comments i nvr thought i'll ever hear, Razak sdar :) , the teachers, Sir Rashid, Mdm Reeza, bahas bm, supporters, wonderful friends, stfians and all. i love you!

the greatest success is not in never failing, but rising everytime we fall. debaters, we could still have our new blazers :D
