today....
lets talk bout debates...
i really am a fan of debates... i like to watch people debating..... sarcasm, humour, facial expressions...all there..shown by the debaters... but NEVER... i like to be there debating myself....
BUT WHY?????!!! i was forced to debate last month....in some human values debate... "sathya sai baba" if i recalled it correctly... i was actually chosen to represent to school... [dunno whether it's a good new or bad to me...lol] tis is totally bout moral values.. n so, the motions are very general...wide scope topics...
my team consisted of four, 2boys 2girls...namely alexandar, caisha n shileena AND ME...as u can see here....im de only chinese... n they needed me as the team must be of at least two races... so can u ppl see how important i was to them?? wahaha....
and guess wat?? oni caisha has experience n debating...the other three are noobies.. especially me a beginner- never speak in public, never debate...sigh....i was like huh??? pengsan...
prior to de competition, we had to do some sort of community service.. we were supposed to go to batu gajah to help in some home of the disabled.. i guess... but due to the trailblazer thingy which one of my team mates was involved in, we had to replaced it by going to the GH to visit the orthopedic section... we were supposed to visit those poor patients who had either their limb removed or having some sort of disease called 'elephant' legs... we felt so pitiful for them... hence we as students talked to them, try to make them feel better... n even one man who accompanied us [ one of the organizers from the sathya sai society] offered to help a man... by buying him goods-daily necessities... then we went out ofter being asked questions by the nurses as they did not really welcomed us into the wards... next we were given papers n pens to write our opinions n how we felt after visiting those patients... we were asked to express our feelings...
before the competition, we had discussions about topics to prepare ourselves... but one thing, we have never tried debating before!! haha... and guess wat, i was chosen to be the forst speaker... oh gosh... on that morning of the day for the first round i was down with flu sore throat n even had some hearing difficulties after some b***hes fr mgs shouted fr behind my ear... and hence the reserved speaker-alex had his chance to debate...lol.... sorry my fren... and that was his forst time debating... haha...the motion was 'juveniles are to charged like adults for violent crimes", we were the opposing team... we won- against SYS
next round-semi final against ACS, this time i am fine, i took my responsibility as the first speaker... the first time i debated and also the last time... get wat i mean, dun u? the motion was "poverty in the third world countries is the fault of the fault world countries".. this time we are the propositions... i was kinda sosososo terrified... tensed up...blur...~first time la...WAT TO DO???? and as usual... i would forget my lines, my points... n wat did i do... stated la... my skills 'goreng' la....crapping all de way....lol... just to waste the longest EIGHT minutes of my life...sigh....darn long kay....
de results was kinda obvious lea... we were sure to be the loosing team... too strong... and wat to do... i was debating mar...haha...KAYU-some people who watched me crapping told tat to me...haha....
neway we wished ACS all de best and continue....
however in de finals... motion: "global warming could be prevented", ACS lost to some MAKTAB sth... sigh... too bad for them... for i believed they deserved it...
k then... dat's all bout my debates... first and last
