debate part 2 : warning, VERY LONG POST

if you were wondering about the time for the last post, i just posted it. i didnt have any time last night. *snore*

so yeah, let me continue with my new, wacky, crazy, whirlwind, stressful, sad yet super hyper days preparing for the debate. now i know what people mean when they say "it's not the where you go, it's how you get there". eh, hold on. is that from a car advert? whatever.

before i continue, ladies and gentlemen, please bear in mind that i'm gonna go on rambling randomly ya.

1. the many short forms and such i created so that i can fit my points, and other key words that i may carelessly forget in one palmcard. joanna (and some other people) once said, and i quote, "georgie!! what's MATOM??" unquote. well, ladies and gentlemen, MATOM is madam speaker, adjudicator, timekeeper, opponents, members of the house. (but i had to change madam speaker to chairperson because during the finals, the chairperson was a guy) add in any adjectives you want. smart eh?

2. sitting out during prefects' camp to prepare for debate. we didnt do the night activities and had to leave early on the third day. =( *sniff* and then we end up doing jazzercise and singing phantom of the opera while trying to squeeze out ideas from our almost dry brains to add spice to our debate scripts. hahaha. it was quite hard to do any work anyway. first, we had dozens of diskets and only ONE laptop at camp permai. if jacintha didnt bring it for us to use, we would have none. second, man we were tired. when you're resting your body (but not your brain), that's when your whole body starts aching. first nite, i could do work but i couldnt think. second nite, i could think but i couldnt do any work cos my hands hurt like hell. now what use is that?? i bonded with my "best friend" too. lolz!!!!

3. late nights and not enough sleep. this is the sad part la. people go home really late and get their parents worried when they go for late night parties. i do the same but i went for a late night debate prep. and yeah, 3 hours of sleep. going back home frm pn. kong's place around midnite, sleep, and wake up 3 hours later to finish my scripts. the funnest was prolly the first nite at abby's place. yik boh couldnt come so it was just me, abby, jan, and joanna. we ate so much!! pringles, char kueh tiaw, and lots of water. abby's parents are so nice. and then when everyone is engrossed in typing and thinking of rebuttals and POI-proof information and sentences, one of us sneaks into MSN messenger ( 2 laptops and 1 com, 2 of em with internet connection) and tries to chat under the guise of "looking for info and statistics" until joanna does her rounds to see if need help and then "hey!!! what are you doing online!! do your work dont go chatting la!!" hahahaha. it's so hilarious the way she says it.

4. pn sandy shooting down all our points the first time she heard us =( and we thought we were good. it was scary at first cos we felt so...hopeless. but in the end, pn sandy rawks!! hahaha. she's just so hilarious. pn kong was just so patient with us too. i would have blown up a long time ago. pn euphrasia was like giving us so many good points too, and mr teo would try to bring it down. and it will end up a debate between the four of them. wahliu. we all just sit there trying to digest what we can. the form fives were just so great too. scripts and stuff. whoa. the scripts they wrote for us to see...are so good. (grateful)

5. working morning, afternoon and night. yes. it's crazy. in school, we would be in the resource room typing, thinking, or laughing. afternoon, we would be in the resource room again or in abby's house. night, we would either work on our own or we would be in abby's house again. we did get a rest on sunday night la. prefects' camp didnt count even tho we werent doing debate, but how can you call low ropes and obstacle course rests?? so fun tho. we met pondans and soaked our feet and berebuting to take baths and longing to go the beach. hahahah.

6. the little time we took off from debate work was to eat, sleep or bath. (prefect's camp excluded) none other.

7. the guys at the debate com were so hiaw la. not just the smk bako guys, some other skools also. aduh!!! not all la. some.

8. "wawasan 2020, ching ching ching" "pluk, euthanasia" "time is jealous of me" "how can you treat them like dogs?" "crimes like RAPE" famous words from some of our opponents. im not really making fun of them la. some of them were really really good. but some...no comment. me? i think i messed up a lot.

9. we laughed a lot when : we were at pn. kong's place; in pn. sandy's car back from SMK bako; in abby's place; chilling at the resource room, laughing for no apparent reason; when janice answers her phone or starts messaging; janice calling home so many times but it was engaged; phantom of the opera and that thing you do; destroying joanna's avanza; janice "bye bebeh!" hahahahahaha.

alrite, you dont get me. you dont want to read, go away la.

gone? nope. nevermind la. im going anyway. therefore, i have clearly stated my stand for today that is, "debate was fun". we'll be going to mukah in may and i think we'll skip exam. =( that crazy manda tan was telling me that i should skip exam pulak. "it's so fun!!" girra.
