Will be officiating the Selangor/KL prelims this weekend.
Assuming I won't get lost looking for SMK Bandar Utama Damansara 2
(apparrently there are 4 of them)
(projected scenario)
Me: Hello, is this SMK Bandar Utama Damansara 2?
Guard: No, this is SMK Bandar Utama Damansara 1. SMK BUD 2 over there (points off into yonder)
Me: (drives off)

Omigosh, that was like my worst nightmare when I used to be debating at uni level -- to walk into an empty room, late or got wrong time slot or wrong venue. Did this really happen to you? If yes, you have my sympathies, man... :(

well, that was quite funny.
Nigel? I'll handle him..
somehow I thought I'd read something like that from Hubert when I saw you mention Nigel ...
