FULLSTOP.

Sungai Petani, here we come! the state level parliamentary debate was due in SMK Ibrahim in SP> this time, it was me going up, replacing chi hung. from the start, it was like i once, chi hung once, while weijian and leonard remains. they are the best, so they got to represent the school for each round. not forgetting pei loon, he is a great researcher and generates lots of good ideas too. the journey there proved to be exciting. Mr Anuar drove us there in his spacious UNSER together with Azmi, the person in charge of taking videos. the whole journey was COOL MAN! the five of us inside there fooling around, easing the loooooming tension as we km-ed closer and closer towards SP. nevermind that, we really enjoyed ourselves.
on reaching SMK Ibrahim, as expected, we were the only chinese team around. kinda wierd huh, especially for a chinese school to represent Kota Star district in a Malay State Level Parliamentary Debate Competition. the organiser was crazier this time. they only let us know whether we were the "kerajaan" or the "pembangkang" one hour before the competition starts. next, they quarantined us inside a room to discuss among ourselves. the first round was nothing la...PEANUTS! = VICTORY=LONG LIVED KEAT HWA!
progressing to the second round, heard pei loon said that our next opponent in the afternoon, SMK Agama Sik were quite good.
"This is not going to be easy!"
"I know"
THE BATTLE BEGINS
guess what, they underestimated us. they sent out a weaker first debater. oh, how "RIGHT" they were, again with the aura of injustice lurking around us. we were bound to lose no matter how good our performance were. yeah, we lose in the end. the fact is they just don't want us to win. obviously, we outshone them. and they obviously choose not to face the fact. summary: the world is NEVER FAIR.
anyway, i am used to injustice and unfairness. what can i say, i am in malaysia, just got to get used to it.
PENGGULUNGAN:
during the two-weeks process, just like any competition that requires team work, conflicts are bound to happen. and sure it did. we quarelled, we cursed, we swore. but in the end, we still make up to each other. i truly appreciate the friendship between the five of us. the whole debate thing bonded us together. after spm, that is around seven months from now, we will go our separate ways and won't be able to meet each other that often anymore. that's why i truly cherish our friendship. last but not least: FRIENDSHIP FOREVER
