it was a debating comeback of sorts. having not debated for like what - 3 YEARS?! yet it wasnt a 'comeback' that i would have liked, if results were to speak for themselves. at the end of this whole thing perhaps i feel that i havent developed as much as i would have liked and i feel old, tired, not as effective, not as analytical, and not as sharp or composed. i cant help but wonder though if i have lost it, or i have never had it in the first place. or could it be that increased involvement in adjudication have made me more critical of debaters, including myself.

i dont know. but it was a new format and being a technical speaker myself, i have never expected to have been bogged down by so many technical issues due to the nature of the competition. yet for all that it's worth, it was an interesting experience, and we did learn from every debate. after all it is a first debating bp style and 2, debating against overseas universities and all these bp pros. i can only hope to come back stronger and perhaps be ready for unis debate. or i might as well not join them. haha.

so many stories about the debates; i am just too tired to repeat them. but yea thanks imran for being a great teammate - all the feeding of information to a partner as ill-informed as i am haha. and thanks too turbs and jit for coming down at the ungodly hour of 845 just to watch us face our old foes. haha.
