won semi finals.
i got best speaker although i was SERIOUSLY intimidated by hadassah, their awesome third speaker, from orchid park sec.
unfortunately, we lost in the grand finals.
i just thought it was rather unfair.
oh well, maybe its just because i'm still bitter about it.
can you believe it?? a 4 to 1 split decision??!
sigh, i can frankly admit i forgot how it felt like to lose and losing in the recent GRAND FINALS sure did slap the freaking daylight outta me.
God knows we want this so bad and we slogged our guts daily. cried very badly when we lost.
guess i gotta learn to live with it. after all, its all over and done with.
time flies and the coming division 1 finals will round up this year's tournament series.anyway, i'd like to take this blogging opportunity to say that i ESPECIALLY LOVE HADASSAH AND CHARLOTTE WONG from orchid park sec for being such ardent supporters and their well wishes just before the debate.nice people, really. :) my honour to have met them and to have gone against them in the semi finals. formidable, indeed.hmm, i stayed over at yujeen's chalet on friday night for some reason.his family rocks, BIG TIME! they were such hospitable and warm people. oh, and he came over to my place yesterday to make OREO cheesecake, at the same time, have homecooked lunch. all that insane fun sure did help me lighten up more or less despite our constant whinings since friday night.oh well, i'll miss debate and all the friends i've made in the process.there's no better way to describe the competition series that lasted four months other than saying that it was a fruitful yet amazing rollercoaster ride. i enjoyed it. every damn bit.alright, love ya'll, as always.XOXO
Thank You for The Cross, Lord. :)

see, i'm updating!!
alright, won the third prelims by a unanimous decision against hougang.
yujeen's daddy and cousin were amongst the very pathetically few supporters we had.
so sweet of him to come all the way down from KL just to watch his kid compete!
i'm jealous of such dads, knowing mine doesnt exist. well, life goes on! :D
i felt bad though, being titled best speaker knowing i didnt deserve it AT ALL!
could tell christel, my coach, was disappointed with my amateur speech.
dionne was the most consistent and i was dead sure she was gonna be best speaker, like we planned!
apologised to her after that debate and she was nice enough to tell me its okay.
thanks dionne! you rock and i mean it. :)
as if i wasn't disappointed enough doing badly for my speech, we came in 5th of all the C div schools that qualified for quarter finals.
damn it! i wanted US to rank first, so badly. SIGH.
after the announcement of results, we whined our way to junction 8. LOL
all of us were exhausted and BROKE, so, the God-sent angel(ms phua) came to our rescue by paying for our cab fares!
shared a cab with anna, siowmay and yujeen.
dropped anna and siowmay off at compassvale road somewhere in sengkang before yujeen and i cabbed to punggol where he was supposed to take a train to his dad's hotel in farrer park!
you guessed it, the last train left and we whined until he got a cab!
frankly, we were extremely childish but hey, whining did help me lighten up a little!
alright, lets come back to reality.
we'll be facing off with global indian international queenstown campus this friday to vy for a spot in semis.
although the debate would be on homeground, we can't slack a damn bit! COMPLACENCY IS A SILENT MURDERER! wish us luck!
you bet we're expecting an overwhelming number of supporters!
okayyyyy got to go, love ya'll! :)
xoxo
