The Royal Malaysian Intervarsity Debating Competition 2006

Now that I'm back home, I guess it's time to post some pics of what happened during the 2 weeks or so that we were involved in the Royals:

28th Nov, arrival at Alamanda. First things first, set up DotA network.

Then it's discussions...

chilling...

...and of course, debating

Day 1 - the workshop, when we get to dress up like this...

And this...

...and this too

At UiTM Samarahan

Boring first day. Clowning comes naturally

First day of debate

In the briefing room

View from where we usually sat in the briefing room

With the KUTKM folks. Was a messy encounter no thanks to the Chair...
None of us got far. All teams were booted out during the prelims, but that didn't mean we shouldn't attend the final:

Middle row seats for the UIA vs UiTM clash

And there was a formal dinner too, where we get to dress up like this:

and where the transport of choice is this:

Sifu, flanked by his two bodyguards with jackets

And the others too:

Food for the night

with some photo ops with the other teams

and the signing of autograph books as well

All in all a satisfying experience. Yes, beware - 'The Weiyang' and 'The Waranator' will certainly be back next year...
