once again....the adrenalin rush..whoooosh....
it was a stronger team indeed....
well....again we were the opposition & the motion was about 'parents should be punished for their children's crimes'
so we had to oppose on that......if i would say....
it was indeed to our advantage.....
the government team did give a fight which pressured us alot....
the adrenalin rush & rapid heart beat was greater than yesterday......
the fight was really really close as the comments where given....
before the results were being announced we had a thought that we were on the losing end......
with only a mere hope that we wouldnt lose with marks too far behind......
*ok......so the winning team goes to*

*judge staring left ,right,left,right,government,opposition,government,opposition*

*sweats,sweats,sweats*

the opposition team.....
*stares at members with disbelieve*
*we won?*
dammit!
entering the competition with no hope of winning & only with hope for the participating marks n certificate......
we actually won 2 rounds!
bt the happiest part of joining the competition was not bout beating 2 teams in a row...
bt it was bout the experience n to get to know new friends...
every1 gave their best fight.....
ok....passes round 1 n fought thru round 2.....
now we have another round of stress! =(
had our recess......
returned to class at 10.30 to read some papers...
i found an article with the topic on 'women with bigger breast appear to be smarter'
the research was made n found that because of more hormones production,thus bigger bust can result in a bigger brain.....so guys...if u r finding for a smarter gf or wife.....find 1 with brighter headlights =)
ok back to my topic.....
3rd round started at 11.30....
our opponents appears to be form 2 juniors....
it may sound easy bt they appear to be school debaters.....
having more experience than any of our team members.....
the pressure set on us were even greater.....
teams were matched up...
positions were given...
we had a change given....
we were given the post as the government!!
the motions given & dammit!!!!
1. THBT gay marriage should be legal....
2.president barak obama shouldnt have been given the noble prize of peace...
3.human clonning should be permited....
O.O any of this topic would not benefit us at all!!
finally...with biology knowledge we chose no.3 which was the 1st choice of the opposition.....
disscussion...disscussion,discussion,disscussion
sweating not on the out side bt at the inside......
boiling more than 100º
when disscussion time was over...
we came to realise that our team do not have enough points to argue on.....
thank to the basic biology knowledge that the form2's did not have....
the fight was intense.....
we already know we were loosing....
bt the worst part was.....
we lost by 1 mark!!!
OMG!
1 mark caused us everything...
we could have won 3 rounds in a row.........
welll.......
the marks didnt really counted to me coz all i really was concern bout was the experience....
hopefuly with the experience we will improve on our speaking skills for MUET paper...
if we r able to speak for 7 minutes.....2 minutes wouldnt be a problem at all....
it also boosts courage....
so to u all out there.....
being in a debate is a very good experience.....
it may even be addictive.....
so why not give it a try =)
.............ends.............
