i think. that debating is really cool. it just awes me to see people stand up there and argue intellectually. it's a skill, or pretty much a talent. lovesitlovesit. but. loving to watch it is different from loving to do it...
so there goes my first night of debate round one. we got to sit in the cutest minivan ever, this van with pink hearts painted everywhere on it and flower curtains. have a sweet day. and we had our pizza on our way there. i wasn't even nervous until we reached westwood. there were alot of people! people in their school blazers, ties, court shoes and people with messy hair(me). and one of the first few people we saw was jonathan pplug. and ya, saw some familiar people from camp also. so anyways i had no idea this debate thing was on the same date for all divisions. so there were debators from many many schools there. kinda made me feel like i was back at debate camp last december. a little bit of stress a little bit of cool.
so yeah we entered the classroom for our own debate and that was when i bothered to start trying to familiarize with my points. our audience was pretty pathetic but i like it like that so it's good. the proposition brought along this indian lady teacher and we brought along miss ng. i can swear miss ng is way better than that other teacher.. i like miss ng. i think she's like so genuinely nice. haha..
so i thought i was doing fine for my speech.. until i started rebutting that is. fumbled a little and ended it lamely. i was like oh no oh noo.. but they still smiled at me when i went back to my seat so i guess, i didn't screw up that bad right.. heidi's speech was as usual, the drama-mama type, which made her the best speaker for the debate. she deserved it. i even gave her a good luck smack on the butt before she went up. anyway i realized that she's also always on the lookout for cute guys. haha. she was like commenting on every guy we saw. that girl..
anyway i had fun! 'twas cool. after ours we went to watch people from A division debate. that was even cooler. i like!
so thanks angela, jiajuin, annlynn, heidi and miss ng for the support, and all the others who sent luck! i like debating and i love the confidence it has given me but i'm not sure i wanna join the next round though...
so was having a little chat with my good sister willy just now and he told me i looked less cheerful, more vulnerable, i needed more sleep more care more love... i say, willy, since when! but anyways thanks for concern :) and ho huiling! you know where your friends are when you need them. friends are the best. we love you!
i know how strong we are. i know how much he really cares. and does he know, i love him so. :)
