BLITZah.

Blitz was an English Debating Competition held by SMAK 1 Penabur.
it's quite crowd and I guess well done.
I teamed with Deni and Vincent. they're great mates, really.
actually this' not my first time joining such competition but the third.
my first one was CEC (Canisius English Competition - I got nothing but shame ) and the second one was S3W Beverlys (SMAK 3 Week - I got the Runner up place + 8th rank speaker).

I played around there, lots of fun and battle of wits .
there must be logical thinking and elaboration. debate is all about think and speak.
Vincent and I, sometimes, made Deni got a little angry with us, because we played too much. err
there were 5 rounds of pre-eliminary, a quarterfinal, a semifinal and a grandfinal round.
we won 3 rounds out of 5 pre-eliminaries. (the 2 loss were stupid ah)

even though we're stressed because we lost caused by ourselves fault
but yeah anyway we're having an amazing adventure there with our l.o. (liaison officer) Kelly. She's been so good to us and guided us for these 3 days!
