flashback about the debate...(DEBATE)

ok let me see...debate....such an interesting word...well,debate is my passion..at first,i was asked to join the debate and i tought of it as a nerdy activity but my judgement was wrong....why do i say so???well,the story starts here...about 2 weeks ago,i represented my school for the 'Swinburne World Debating Championship'...i accepted the challenge and i went with 8 of my close frens....we were divided into 3 team....team A:kelvin,adam,joanne...team B:cornelius,ian(me),faris(my close fren)....and junior team C:jonathan,aldrin and joshua....so yeah...
1st DAY
on the day itself,i was so nervous that i was sweating the crap of myself....we were waiting as if we were on a death trial...heheheheh....dun worry im kidding bout that...anyways...where was i??oh yea...well,we were waiting under the school hall for the bus...but plans didnt turn out as expected...so we had to get the teacher to send us there via 3 cars..not the bus....so it was very cramped.....we were the 2nd team to reach swinburne..well,i tought that this will be a small competition but well,my judgement was wrong again..there were tons and tons of people..we registered and went into the auditorium....took our sit and listened to the chief adjudicator(CA) spoke fo a long long time...i nearly fell asleep...heheheh...anyways then we watched the example debate....it was freaking awesome.....especially the 3rd opp speaker,ashik....rebut and quoted from a bible verse even tho he's a muslim...hahaha..anyways.....so yeah...we had our practice debate with batu kawa and we won...wasnt ineresting tho...our first prelims was wif kolej abdillah c team....they were good but we were better...hahahah...kidding...anyways we won again....i went back and the day wasnt over yet...i still had to go for tution...

2nd DAY
i reached swinburne at about 8a.m.i was very exited as i can feel the sweet air of debating....not so long after that...we started our second prelim....when i saw our match up against lodge c,i nearly pee'd in my pants....i told my team that we have to be confident in ourselves and do the debate with all our hearts....but,we lost....but look at the bright sight...they didnt crunch us as if we were friend chicken...it was a minor victory for them....then.lunchbreak....our coach,cedric asked us to socialise with the teams from the other school...that is when i met new frens from tengku puta,lodge,green road and of course the marian's an so many orher school...from there,i developed my relationship with everyone else..even with ashik(my 'bro')....and during that day i aslo met andy(my 'bro' too)so yeah...we also did our 3rd prelim on that day....we were matched up against kuching town....this 1,we were very confient...this time,we were the opposition...so we had to do our motions outside....this is when i realised that we were not only the blurr 1.....the other teams i could see(lodge,tengku)were also very blurr...the girls from lodge even asked me for the definition of bloodsports...so i gave it to them...anyways,we went in the room and started debating...but sadly,we lost again....by minority....so yea..we went back downstairs dissapointed....we had tea break...i started mixing around with the tunku's and we started to know each other....but i couln't socialise for long because the 4th prelim was about to start...we were told our matchup's.....well,we were matched up against tunku putra team B...i realised that my close frens were in that team(andy,malcom,eain)..so yeah...well we started the ebate and suddenly eain had an asthma attack...the debate was called on hold....well,during that time,we started talking and disturbed teresa...hahahahah....thenwe found out that we had to do that debate the next day cuz it was getting late...so yeah...
