1st UNITEN Debate Open 2013

At a glance, the only thing I can say is this: "It was definitely a good run."

With especial mention of my teammates, Laaviny and Levinthran, I enjoyed the company of the entire Yo Mama clique. We went out there and we owned. We showed the world how it was supposed to be done. And although I didn't walk away with any medals or trophies, I walked away with somethings much better than those. I walked away with experience. I walked away with new found friends. I walked away with new machis. I walked away knowing that there are some more people out there who cares for me and whom I can care for.

This is the reason for debate: To come together and, with stimulated minds, to have discourse. What better people to have discourse with than with friends? In another angle, what better to do with people who understands you than to befriend them?

On a more tangible note, my team, known as Yo Mama So Fat, made it all the way to the Quarterfinals. It is one of my achievements I can proudly claim. I also found a new ability: The ability to incorporate humour in my speeches, something that I have lacked since the beginning and something that I believe will help me in future.

That's it, folks!
