ED.com 14 jakarta part-2 : a slumdog debaters Beat the city!

2nd day (saturday march 28th 2009)

06.00

making preparation to scooter in school. today we was lucky coz nisa's chauffeur piked us up so today we had no problem about transportation.

06.30

we went to 14 jkt. there was no problem. we arrived @ 07.00 as the 1st team who came.nothing special today..
but i like the committee's effort to announce best 8 team to quarter final. they used snapshot of things that that teams always bring. first, they showed a snapshot of somethings. that thing was belong to the team who broke to semifinal. when there was a picture of a binder and green pencil, i shouted! we break into quarter final!



3rd day (sunday march 29th 2009)

we started today with hope we could win and pay all of our loans [shame..shame..]. today we faced 14 jkt B in quarter final.

announcement to semifinal .

Every team was given roll biscuit [or sumthing like that] and inside that roll there was a color paper. there was yellow and red. we got yellow. and the color who go to semifinal is......

YELLOW.
well one step toward to the final!


we met SMAN 1 Depok as an opponent in semifinal. we go motion THBT ASEAN should have its own army. we got negative. I made mistake when I brought justification late.

announcement to Final.

It is the most creative and taking much time for announcement. Every semifinalist got different card with clue written on that card.

Our job was looking for 2 other cards from that clue. we must search in all classes on that floor. and when we got 2nd card the clue was " I like to speak in front of other contestants with mic"

it means we should 'shoot' Agita.

oh God, we came from village until our money running out, our body tired, our mind exploded but now our self esteem would lost!!! shame..shame..

nice job when Haryo, me, and Fiki threw our self esteem in order to get last card. and agita "kindly" gave last card written "TRES BIEN".

[ THX FANY FOR UR EMBARRASSING PLAN]
and every team didn't get challenge like us. just Cisauk...

then, that clue who decided we go to final or not. and TRES BIEN means..

EXELLENT : we went to final!!!



Final round facing 14 jkt A who beat us in preliminary. the motion was THW abolish unanimity decision in European Union.

we started to casebuild. suddenly the CA came and asked us "do you know what is unanimity decision?"

we stupidly just showed paper of unanimous decision. then they walked away...

we just realized that Adjudicators thought that the motions was too hard. and we just realized that we didn't really understood the motion. Fool us!

but we keep on casebuild.



The final started. we did our best. but actually it wasn't best debate coz our performance was so so..
we just can pray God give us good luck.

Then, the announcement time!

The decision was split decision 5-2. and majority decision went to...

Government side of the House : CISAUK!

God! a slumdog who came from nowhere village goes to the city and got a glory..

thx Naufal! u have coached us 3 times and u bring us as the winner! what a great [gay] coach u r! (kidding..)

Well, we came home with public transport again. But we enjoy it! 3 guys [from nowhere village]

walked at the night in the city with a glory!
