Hey Deb8rs~!

Just blogging to say that EVERYONE did an EXCELLENT job, CONGRATULATIONS, esp. YINGCHEN, who clinched BEST SPEAKER in the impromptu.

Apologies for the caps. I'm feeling...high. and hyper. and simply elated.

Comments we got, as far as i could remember:

-Yingchang-Your rebuttals mostly. I couldn't tell if you were rolling your eyes.

-Denise-Quite confident [???!!!] but the REPLY SPEECH was penalised for using rebutals. No identifying clashes, how both sides handled the case, and the rebuttal in Opp2 speech. Elaborate.

-Yingchen-Great. Just try to phrase nicely and work more on strategy.

-Carissa-didn't get the adjudicator's comments, but your style as good. Strategy and structure are areas you need to work on though.

-Junwei-you were good, but your fever interrupted your voice. There was one part where you suddenly "EXACTLY!" Damn funny!

It was SO ironical, we lost the prep but won the impromptu. Itreally was an EXCELLENT JOB people, I gained BARROWLOADS of experience.

[Except for the part where I screwed my reply.]

NANHUADEBATORS FOR THE WIN!!!
