eye-opener

oh Buddha! what an experience! so challenging yet at the same time maintaining a high level of fun. really missed the whole process. it was not just a process, it was a tremendously exciting, life altering two-weeks process. before this, did not have the time to write about this all because of that stupid exam la! sorry, guys. this year is most probably my last year in keat hwa. you know... the after-the-SPM-and-going-separate-ways thing, so...really have to cherish every moment i have in school before leaving the whole exam-oriented system. don't want to have that sort of "if i had...wouldn't have been..." stuffs. don't want that to happen to me.our debate team were made up of chi hung, leonard, weijian, pei loon and myself. imagine yeah...an all boys debate team, kinda wierd huh especially when you are in keat hwa (a mixed school). what can i say, our year is seriously lacking of the opposite sex talents! anyway, at first, i don't know if we were lucky or not to be able to have weijian and chi hung joining us. these two geniuses (ATTENTION:THERE ARE NO LAZY GENIUSES IN THIS WORLD) yeah...these two geniuses...they are just so over-confident and very "zi lian" to the extent of visualising us emerging victorious in the national level final round. oh my G/B, for goodness sake, we were just in the district level and considering they are not aware, this is a MALAY parliamentary debate. you expect us to win through the TINTED GLASSES of some particular individuals who call themselves JUDGES!!?? sounds absurd huh? anyway, we did our best for the first three rounds, and it's VICTORY for us, beating the opponents FLAT! (tengku malik, al-bukhari, teknik stadium) you wouldn't know how we feel. we had beaten three Malay Students from Malay Schools who for sure Malay is their mother tongue. we, on the other hand, Malay as our second or third language won. oh, how encouraging.later, we had a look at the next opponent that we are going to meet in the final round. you wouldn't believe how lucky we were. the match between SAINA and KOLEJ was damn intense. both were good. BATTLE OF THE SEXES. three boys versus three girls. alas, SAINA won.and then, chi hung told me that we were going to represent Kota District whether we win or not the next day. the reason given: SAINA is a sekolah asrama, therefore could not represent the district. how exciting huh? but of course that means slowing down a little unknowingly. and guess what, the next day we lose to our opponents. and honestly, it's not because of unfairness, it was because we were not as good as them. (it's true. and we can't never deny that fact)
