IIU Debate Tales

I just got back from Umbai, Melaka. My dad wanted to treat my uncle’s Balinese workers to some seafood after the splendid work they’ve done at our house.

On the way, we stopped at an R&R to pray Zuhr, I remember having been to that R&R before.. because of the Baskin outlet.

The last I was there was when I was with the IIU debate contingent on our way for a  tournament in Singapore. And I think we bought some ice cream…wait did we?

Those were really fun times, Azrul (don’t remember whether Irzal was around) + the other boys would crack the nastiest and belly tearing funniest of jokes all the way till we reached our destination (they’ll do that whether we were travelling to Sabah or Singapore). Hadi boy or Azahan would be the punching bag..hihi.Love u guys!

Food was always in abundance..everyone would bring something on board…macam pot luck..haha. And the foodstuff would finish within the first few hours of travel.

I can’t begin to share the many stories I’ve collected throughout my years as a debater..it would amount to volumes. I’ve had so many trips with the debate contingent…to South Africa, Bangkok, Australia..and they were all really special, memorable, adrenalin pumped ( we were there to debate our heads off!! ).. and most  definitely fun.

I am thankful I decided to join the debate club…not just because names like Obasanjo or terms like Most Favoured Nation are not alien to me but because it gave me so many opportunities..meeting people from across the globe, to share and create great moments.The experience of debating against debaters from renowned universities gave me a sense of accomplishment money can’t buy.

They say debating can take you places..I say it definitely can! (literally too ;p)

To those years.
