Of Worlds and NUS Exhibition Debates

Despite the fact that I'm on fairly decent terms with a number of debaters from the other two local institutions, I can't claim to have that much interaction with them outside of debate tournaments. So it was really a rather pleasant surprise to hang out with a whole bunch of them today (albeit for debating purposes).

Now, since most of these peeps are likely to be surfers of this weblog, it would be particularly impolite to start slamming them here (not that I really do care - being politically incorrect is a debating thing). But oddly enough, despite gathering a bunch of people with potentially a huge pool of idiosyncrasies, the 'meet-up session' (in preparation for an exhibition debate - can you believe me that yours truly is supposed to set an example for younger debaters?) turned out quite brilliant, surprisingly - it had the usual recipe for a fun time: a dash of intellectual talk, lots of insults, jibes, some semblance of humour and Shaun speaking more Econs than I could understand.

Just an odd observation - it seems that NTU debaters embrace Singlish much more readily than SMU debaters. Which reminds me, I was supposed to talk to people about that upcoming article for the ST. Shit.
