When i first joined KBM debate club a.k.a. rhetoriks, its not easy for me. I need to adapt a new style of how they debate as well as how the do the training, and believe me its not the same at all. During my first training, I already been asked a general knowledge. Totally high general knowledge! something like who is Jullian Gillard, where's Egypt, what's the new Barack Obama's policy etc. Something that even when I still a Dungeon I don't know.
So my seniors suggest me to join an inter faculty debate tournament that they organized. In order to get a place and trust among the existing debaters, I decided to join it. Well, its worth caused I won it (finally I won something). Actually I was interested with the prize that the club's president promise as the champion. We can represent KBM to SNOT in UKM. Something that I miss the most. Debate!

| BACC FAR |
This is my team for ICDC 2011 (Independence Cup Debating Championship). Even though they don't have any experiences in debate but they are fast learner. I don't need to push more cause at the end, they got they style and can do on their own. The best thing in this is I can be the 3rd speaker (my favourite speaker role). It was a memorable night as I sacrifice my weekend for the tournament even i have lots of test waiting for me after that. I didn't just crowned as champion but also got top 10 best speakers for all rounds (kind of sad caused i didn't I get the best final speakers)

| who says accountant cant debate? look at this. we're rule the house!! |
Basically, these are the representative for Accountancy Faculty. We have our seniors there to support and that had sacrificed their time to train us. We also proud to say that out of 4 teams that joined the tourney, 3 actually break to quarterfinals, 2 break to semifinals, 1 went to the finals and won the trophy. We always create such a havoc there. During quarterfinals, all of BACC teams almost disqualified because only me that can come that morning. Others have to attend a common test that morning. Then 1 one of the our team 'kill' the strongest and only team from BASS! It was amazing and shocking moment because those debaters from BASS are very good. They won all 6 prelims and beat my team twice.

| we are big family! :) |
What the most important thing during the tourney is making friends. But we not just make friends but we already create a family here. So this is the 2011 ICDC family, and I hope even though they not stay in the debate club anymore, we can still be friends. At least can say 'hi' to each other when we meet.
Unfortunately, none of the winning team available for SNOT. They announced the name that went to that tourney kind of late. Since I'm in my semester break, I couldn't get tickets back to Melaka to join them. However, I got the chance to represent KBM when they are looking for debater to debate in Vice Chancellor Cup 2011 in UiTM Shah Alam. I actually delayed my test and made my lecturer mad at me caused I really really want to join the tourney.

| some of us in VC Cup 2011. |
It was a memorable tournament when my seniors broke the tradition as the first branch that won the tournament. It will never be forgotten as the name of Suffian and Rosal become an inspiration of all the UiTM branches to stand up! Not to be forgotten, another team also manage to break until semifinals. Only my team, the only junior team, that didn't break in that tourney.

| we are the champion! |
With the new tittle and responsibility, we need to maintain the trophy in KBM for next VC Cup. As for me, I have the responsibility to show that I am an experienced debater, a qualified ICDC champion and a growing junior for KBM. Hoping the next semester I have more time and passion for debate. I need to learn more and more so that I can be called a successful and respectful senior here!
