World Scholars Cup

The other event that has been keeping my hands tied is none other than World Scholars Cup. Finally, after weeks and weeks of constant busy-ness and studying of the subjects for this competition, it's finally here!!! Not just that, it's over too!! Muahahaha.. So how did we do?

Well, short intro to World Scholars Cup first. A competition held annually across the world for students in teams of 3 to compete with other teams in various subjects. This year it was astronomy: space exploration, history of exploration, literature I & II, economics, maths, and also arts. However, due to some misunderstanding or would rather call it a stroke of luck, my team was put under the junior category (maybe because of our different ties or something XD) so we competed with middle schools from other places.

The competition held in Singapore this time was the South-East Asia regional finals, meaning we competed against teams from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, India and others. Competition consisted of various forms of examination: essay, MCQ, debate and group question (where a question is posted up for a limited time and the group is suppose to discuss and answer it during that period of time).

My team consisted of Kurt a Filipino, Jia Ren a fellow Malaysian (KL) and mua. We.. don't know how we did for the first two tests exactly, but won 1 round and lost 1 round in debate. Also, for the group question or aka Scholars Quiz, we were 4th in the junior category. Freakin' lost to the Raffles muggers. =\

In the end, all hope seem to be gone because it was suppose to be the top 1/3 teams of each category being sent to Korea for the World Finals. However, amazingly or should i say miracously (Kurt's mum had our fortune told and said that we would make it to Korea!) we made it through!!! XXXXDDDDD

It was unbelievable when the organiser announced the teams that were goin to Korea as my team hadn't done much in the sense that.. We didn't think that we would be good enough to make it through the finals!!! So surprising and yet.. Excellent!!! Woohoo!

So, that was my weekend. Traded most of Fame for World Finals in Korea. Think it's quite a fair trade don't you? Hahaha.. So, objectives now: study like never before for Korea and get video of Fame!! If possible. =D

Cya all in Korea! XD
