Congratulations are in order.
Yes folks, after all the sweat, blood and tears, the Unimas team once again lifted the Yayasan Sarawak World-Style Challenge Trophy. The first institution ever to do so consequtively.
I would like to congratulate Gary and Goh (or G2 as they're almost affectionately called) for their success. But success isn't just about getting a trophy (some would say it's about the prize money). Success is about overcoming the odds, having the passion and the willpower to make an commitment and having the courage to not just challenge others, but to challenge yourselves and your own perceptions. Therefore, I have to congratulate each and every member of the Unimas debate team. You have all been successful in this endeavor. You have all won against the odds and come out better and stronger. Here's towards a continued success. I look forward to seeing you grow and growing with you. Royals, here we come. Cheers.

"From the age of six I had a mania for drawing the shapes of things. When I was fifty I had published a universe of designs. but all I have done before the the age of seventy is not worth bothering with. At seventy five I'll have learned something of the pattern of nature, of animals, of plants, of trees, birds, fish and insects. When I am eighty you will see real progress. At ninety I shall have cut my way deeply into the mystery of life itself. At a hundred I shall be a marvelous artist. At a hundred and ten everything I create; a dot, a line, will jump to life as never before. To all of you who are going to live as long as I do, I promise to keep my word. I am writing this in my old age. I used to call myself Hokosai, but today I sign my self 'The Old Man Mad About Drawing." -- Hokusai
renji...
p.s. don't know who is hokusai..
Thanks. It is quite interesting. I'll try to find out who this Hokusai is.
here you go:
Katsushika Hokusai (葛飾北斎) (1760-1849) was an Edo period Japanese artist, painter, wood engraver and ukiyo-e maker, born in Edo (now Tokyo). Author of the 13-volume sketchbook Hokusai manga (begun in 1814) and the block prints Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, (created around 1823-1829), which includes "In the Hollow of a Wave off the Coast at Kanagawa." He is still considered one of the outstanding figures of the ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world" (transient pleasure-seeking, i.e., the world of theaters, restaurants, teahouses, courtesans and geishas), school of printmaking. Hokusai is also renowned for his erotic prints in shunga style. In fact many of the prints of both Hokusai and Sharaku were actually advertisements for brothel houses and theaters, performances or idol portraits of actors and teahouse girls. His "Fukujusō", a series of twelve prints celebrating the glory of flesh and passion, is considered one of the three greatest shunga works. His art was an important source of inspiration for many European impressionists like Claude Monet and American artist James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903). Both Hokusai and Hiroshige have had an enormous impact on landscape painting worldwide. Ultimately, Hokusai's name is indelibly linked to Whistler's. Not only was Whistler greatly influenced by Hokusai's painting style, but the two artist's works are important in the permanent collection of Asian and American paintings at the Charles Lang Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian, in Washington, DC, where they represent one of the earliest and most important compositions of Eastern (Hokusai et al.) and Western (Whistler et al.) aesthetics.
