Season's Greetings to All!! ;D

Hi ya folks! I'm just gonna keep this short and sweet since I don't wanna take too much of your time reading this.

First of all, I would like to congratulate to all of DEMI English debaters (otherwise known as Unrated Malicious Talkers) on their performance during the 2009 Inter-Varsity Royal Debate Competition that was held recently at Universiti Malaya in Kuala Lumpur. Gals and guys, you've now seen (more like you've now lost your Royal debate virginity) how debate at tertiary institutions are carried out, and completely different from Bahasa Malaysia style debating, debating is just a matter of how you flip the motion as if you were going to make the yummiest pizza in Italian's history of culinary arts. Although I am glad of your outcome; however, you all have more to learn and do take the opportunity to grasp at whatever information that will help to build up your general knowledge. Also, I would like to thank Hanu, Berry, Wan and Aizat for their support during the Royals.

Now that's out of the way, I also would like to wish every one of you a joyful Merry Christmas and Awesome 2010 to look forward to. With that, I end this post with humorous clip from Jeff Dunham with Achmed the Dead Terrorist featuring the Guitar Guy! Cheers!!! ;D

Enjoy your holidays!!

To all debaters (existing, former and alumni) of DEMI, I would like to wish all of you may you have an enjoyable time on the holidays, and Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha. Anyway, I hope y'all enjoy the video that I got here. Cheers! ^_^

Hi ya folks! I know many of you are just settling into your academic studies and all, but just to make y'all comfortable, then take a few minutes of your time to watch this video. Remember people, laughter is the best medicine. Enjoy! ;D

Funny Lines from National Novice 2009

A couple days back (Tuesday, 17th of March), a message was sent out among the malaysian_debaters yahoo group that focus on the National Novice 2009 that was held previously last weekend. The lines are just the humorous ones and truly memorable that shows how flexible communication can be when debating. Without further a due, this was the following message from Aina of UiTM (I truly salute for her efforts to spread the laughter). Enjoy! ;D

Subject: The Classic Statements of National Novice 2009!

Hey everyone! As promised, i have compiled the memorable lines from some of the debate rounds. Unfortunately, i didn't get the chance to chat with all the adjs so if you have anything to add, feel free add on!

Lo and Behold!

Parent-child debates

1. `We would allow abortion for babies who are conjoined.'
P.O.I: For which trimester?
`What?'
P.O.I : Is there a time limit for when the mom is allowed to abort?
`Of course. Two years!'

2. `If a dwarf mom has a baby, we will kill it.'

3. `How can you say you want to abort deformed fetuses? Look at Karpal Singh! He's deformed and he's in Parliament!'
(Ugh, firstly he's handicapped not deformed. And secondly, it's a bit too late to abort him now, innit?)

4. `Deformed babies will cause bleeding to their mothers' womb. It's true...'

5. `We want to include parents inside the children.'
(Eww.)

Environmental debate

1. `The govt says they want to use cow dung as fertilizer. But how are we going to do it? Who's going to pick up the cow dung? No one even wants to touch it!'
(Wow... talk about feasibility!)

Entertainment debate

1. `Chris Brown is not a violent man. You can tell from his songs like when he says: With you i dont need money, i dont need car, Girl you're my all! See?'

2. `It's normal for couples to fight like Katy Perry says, we fight we break up,we kiss we make up.'

3. It (reality tv) is real enough to make us cry when they cry, laugh when they laugh, heartbroken when they're heartbroken. Guys it's real"

4. `In Joe Millionaire, the couple had a perfect date and kissed under the full moon. How can that NOT be fake?'

5. `Britney is not even talented. She can't sing and dance at the same time!'

And the rest (including some classic ones from the previous tourney.)

1. `We believe that the end meets the meet!'

2. `Why make the UN do it? Why not PBB?'

3. Govt : The Sultans don't need our money! They are rich by birth!
Opp : Where do they get this money? From a treasure hunt?

4. Govt : "The Government of Malaysia is stupid."
Opp : "How can you say the Government is stupid? You ARE the Government!!"
(Yeah, like DUH!)

Motion : THW allow the use of torture on terrorists.

Opp: "Why would you want to torture terrorists? Do you want them to go crazy?"
Govt : "How can you say that all the crazy people are terrorists? Have you SEEN any crazy terrorists?"
(This is exactly the point where ADJUDICATORS go crazy.)

Opp : "We would not torture terrorists, but we would put them in counselling and advise them. Also, we would show them the pictures of their families, and ask if they really love them..." (Hmmm...Terrorist Anonymous.... very original, indeed!)



Cheers!
Aina

Ken Lii!!!!

Ok.. I know for most of you are feeling the stress and tension with the exams (a few of you may have finished already). So while I'm doing my EIA group study, one of my friends told me about this incident. It's the Bulgarian Idol, and it shows this one girl singing one of Mariah Carey's songs, titled "Without You." Well for the contestant, she percieve it as "Ken Lii." Enjoy! ;D
