ISKL... begins!


ISKL Workshop
Originally uploaded by mincaye.
Preparation for the International School of Kuala Lumpur's (ISKL) Southeast Asian Forensics Tournament has recently kicked into high gear... on Friday morning, to be exact.

I'll be taking part in the same events this year, as I did last, namely Impromptu and Extemporaneous Speaking.

Impromptu is an event in which the participant has 60 seconds to prepare a speech on a given subject, while extemp is an event in which participants are to give an opinionated speech on current issues, with 30 minutes' preparation time.

Saturday morning, the ISKL had a few workshop sessions on the various events, and the photo above was taken in the ISKL canteen (which serves great food, albeit exorbitantly priced).

I'm beginning to feel old, honestly, what with a new wave of students participating from various schools. I remember my first time in 2002, and how many of the same faces used to turn up every year.

Somehow, they seem to have graduated and left school already, and this year's participants all appear to be newbies. It's quite refreshing actually, to see a new generation rising out of the mess we old-timers created.

This is gonna be one exciting year!
