Area D3 contest - 21 March
It's a packed weekend for me. I had to rush to run after the contest and prepare for trip on next day.
It was the same location/room as Humaorus speech and evaluation contest. So I knew the setting of the place.
I was contestant 1 for both contest and there were 3 of us for both contest. As Area D1 started first, logically, I'm contestant number 3 as they had 2 contestants.
It was smooth start, and there were humor lines which didn't worked or I need to brush up more. Timing was my main concern, since practise time, I was doing at 7.20. Luckily, when I finished the speech, red light was not switched on.
The battle was between me, Jamila and Kris Sonsin. All of us spoke on personal story.
For table topics, the topic was about "change". It was similar to division B contest in 2007. Thus, I manage to plug in my story and finished the speech within 2 minutes. The battle was between me, Jamila and Sarimah.
As for the results, I was confident, I didn't exceed the time. And there were no time disqualification.
I was placed 2nd for Table Topics and Sarimah walked away with the title. For the speech, Kris Sonsin was placed 2nd and I was the eventual winner. It was a clean sweep by Kuantan TMC.
I have qualified for both contest at division level. Let's see what happens next.

University Ranking
Once UM was in Top 100, Number 88 to be specific. But now, it has dropped 151. It was at 250th place few years ago, but has improved now.
Our neighboring country can do better than us by getting into top 40 in the world. In addition, only now we realise about need of research, student lecturer ratio, etc.
Private college/university like Sunway made a smart move by getting franchise and opening branch of overseas universities i.e Monash.
Now, we even have Nottingham University, Southampton university etc.
One thing I realised, these colleges in Malaysia is promoting OBU (Oxford Brookes University) for ACCA final level students.
When I look at their ranking is only 379, this means, the degree doesn't carry much value. So the students of OBU, you may want to get the degree paper, but the value is just a paper.

2 crashes in 1 weeks
First was German Air which killed 150 people including crews. Now, we have Air Canada, which manage to land near seaside. So only 23 injured and never killed anyone.
For german air, it was suicide attempt by the co-pilot. When the pilot went to toilet, co pilot locked the cockpit door and made crash attempt on alps.
Rumors says co pilot is in a terrorist group. However, no actual reason was found.
For air canada, investigation is still going on.
Both are airbus a320.
Looks like the flight saga continues.
