Alright, what I was planning to type since yesterday was, "YES, WE GOT THROUGH THE FIRST ROUND! I LOVE YOU EVERYONE! YINGCHEN CARISSA JUNWEI JUNSHENG YINGCHANG EVEN EDLIND AND ELIJAH AND YANTING! YES I LOVE DEBATE! THANK YOUUUUUU"

But after reading Yingchen's entry, I feel that maybe I should have a more formal one.

Okay..thanks to Yingchen, our VERYVERYVERY BEST speaker, for being you, and to Carissa, who was DEFINITELY an ice princess this round. Yes thank YOU Junwei for tracking the third speaker's speech when I had no idea what she was talking about [=.=], THANKS junsheng for helping us GREATLY, and predict POIs, and going online for so long on Sunday to help us refine our substantive, thanks Yingchnag for timing and sitting through our discussions, teachers Mss Kali & Rani for providing the Ideation Room and Mac's...

To describe yesterday...

I excused myself conveniently at 3.30pm from the library [thanks for your note Ms Kali] and went home to shower, and Carissa went too, after she finished her homework or something. Sorry Yingchen, I was held up with hair. Cos the plaits I tie on myself are pretty terrible, and my mom wasn't there to help me tie scorpion, so in the end I asked my maid to do an imitation of scorpion. She kept on tying different lengths and she kept on trying until, in the end, I just left it as it was before dashing out. =.=

Yeah, ate Mac's then...JUNSHENG I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY THAT I ONLYONLYONLY ATE THE MCCHICKEN AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE, NO COKE, NO FRIES. I hate then anyway. I don't eat Mac's, much. I was trying to be an ice-cold Barbie and did quite well. The panic hadn't really caught up.

Then we practiced for the 'chers...I had a bad case of impending sore throat, which was luckily saved by loadsa water and Yingchen's Strepsils...And ah, practiced POIs. It was really funny sia! Cos I'm not used to Junwei POI-ing the first time, and started on the laughs. Later it was cos I POIed him-on my left-with my right hand, and EVERYONE broke out in laughter. But I managed it in the end.

Then we went downstairs, and had a heck of a time preparing a case "THBT the opposition had stolen our fast food!" HAHAHAH! And hell, Yingchen was "we come in peace" with Martian-and Yingchang was laughing his head off-exactly like a witch.


On the bus, we gossiped a bit-forgetting that two teachers were present, but then we serious-ed down and began going over our case, in handphonelight-mine was the strongest, HAH! Well, anyway, we reached, and when I saw people from other school in blazers and them talking in accents, I panicked. I could feel butterflies in my stomach and was VERY glad I hadn't eaten much that day. [For some reason my appetite slacked that day.]

Later I asked junsheng for refination of my POIs, and he added a few even ifs. Luckily, I only received and took one POI, which was the maid, slavery? thing.

Ohkay, there wasn't much later, except for ice pricess and Kwok making grand entrances...and the second speaker cried, I think. I'm beginning to regret my hysteria when the verdict was announced. Laughing uncontrollably was not good when the opposition was unstable. And I rolled my eyes once when Junsheng told me to write down the point on competitiveness- to show that this was a point we knew. Well, we DID prepare for it. The opp must have thought I was a b*tch. Oh dear.

and it was tremendously funny when Junsheng's friend the adjudicator-whom we met at MJC as well-came up and said his debate was shit. "Ladies and Gentlemen, today we tell you that foreign workers are SLAVES!!!! and since slavery was abolished, we should abolish foreign workers as wel!!"

Me and Carissa were having stitches.
