Comeback

back again.
just find the mood to write today.

there are few things need to be addressed
on April, 30, 2010 until May, 2, 2010, i am back!
back as a debater. back into the debate life.

has bring me fame and money, of course.

i participated in E-Party 2010 in SMAN 1 Tangerang

the participant name tag

this is my third times to join the competition. for three years in a row, i'm always there on E-Party.

on my first experience, luck was not on my side. i lose on the quarter final. the second year, it was better. i approached the competition with two of my juniors. we made it to semifinal, but sadly, i had to meet with Albert, Canisius College debater who was damn good. i beat him on preliminary round, but record shows that Canisius College always wins against us on crucial match such as quarter, semi, and final. Here's the complete head to head.
1. EDC 2009 SMAN 1 Depok, preliminary round : Cisauk prevail.
2. ED.Com 2009 SMAN 14 Jakarta, preliminary round : Cisauk prevail.
3. Pride UPH 2009, preliminary round : very close debate, Canisius prevail.
4. Pride UPH 2009, preliminary round : Cisauk prevail with the winning of 7 margin.
5. Pride UPH 2009, final round : Canisius prevail. (see that?)
6. ALSA FHUI 2009, preliminary round : Canisius prevail. (we had to win the match in order to break)
7. E-Party SMAN 1 Tangerang 2009, preliminary round : Cisauk prevail.
8. E-Party SMAN 1 Tangerang 2009, preliminary round : Cisauk prevail.
9. E-Party SMAN 1 Tangerang 2009, preliminary round : Cisauk prevail.
10. E-Party SMAN 1 Tangerang 2009, preliminary round : Cisauk prevail.
11. E-Party SMAN 1 Tangerang 2009, quarter final : Canisius prevail, thus sending one of our team back home with empty hand.

That makes 7 winnings for Cisauk and 4 winnings for Canisius.

And the it happened again, we lose. By the end of the day, we won the second runner up. That was my last debate as a sophomore. That makes the last point of head to head :

12. E-Party SMAN 1 Tangerang 2009, semifinal round : Canisius prevail, thus blowing our dream to win the day.

therefore, the accumulated winnings for Canisius is 5.

now, it's 2010! it's senior year in high school. it's been a year not meeting Albert on the battlefield. The opportunity for redemption is on E-Party 2010! i can't afford to lengthen the bad history! I must win the day!

but. . . . . . . .

blast it, the curse isn't over yet.

we didn't meet on preliminary round, quarter, or semi, this time, on final round, we lose agaisn't Albert with split decision of 4 vs 3 from the adjudicators. zoom at the 4 vs 3 split part. pretty close huh? or should i say extremely close?

that makes this :

13. E-Party SMAN 1 Tangerang 2010, final round : Canisius prevail, thus forcing us to be satisfied with the title runner up.

and this : the winnings number for Canisius is 6. So it's 7 vs 6. One more victory for Canisius and we're even! i really hope my juniors can do something about it.

but anyway, that was a great competition, thanks for Sindhu, Benny, Emil, the other committee member, my partner, Suci and Fiski, and the last, salute for Albert, Febrian and Dani for winning the competition two years in a row!

That perhaps would be my last debate on high school and my last cooperation with my partner, fiski. I really hope next year, we will encounter again in the opposite bench. YEAH!

Warm Regards,
