haven't blogged in a month.
oh well, read title!
for the past... okay i don't know for a long time, all i've tasted is failure, failure, failure, and angst. For once, in a freaking long time! i've actually won! yay yay!
okay, so it's inter-house debates. on morrison(my house) we have clemont(non-debater), me(non debater), andrew chia and samuel teo (both u-14s team) 3 are allowed to speak per round and only two debaters allowed to speak each round. and so me and clemont are more of puppets being fed information by debaters. (but i came up with a few points!) last week, we lost both rounds due to some.. definition challenge fail. but today, (i got to spoke in both rounds!)
and we won both rounds!
first was against bayley. their team consister of lin qi, jedidiah, and gabriel wong. motion was: THW re-introduce chinese dialects in schools. 7 point margin!
next was against hullet. and hullet is scary. they have: kuan hian(best sec 2 debater), chinwee(u-14s team) and darrion(WSC which means debates!) and we were quite afraid of them, but somehow we won by a what, one and a half point margin? The adjudicator went about them advancing in their third speaker and that our arguments were consistently getting built upon. the motion was : THW pay terrorist groups to give up violence.
actually, we may not even be in the finals cuz we only have 2/4 wins. (there's a chance though) but hell, i'm really happy.
