we get what we deserve

Debate semi-finals 2008.

Convent jb vs. SSI.

Motion : This house believes that moral values are better caught than taught


It was a good debate to me. Not ridiculous like the others before. I enjoyed listening to the opponents and our team as well. From ssi there were the three great debaters(hehe), lisa, naqi and jaslyn, whom all of em i know. We got the opposition, which to us seemed like it made enuff sense. We didnt mind both sides but personally i do prefer the government. Coz i can relate to it well enuff.

I was the 1st speaker for our team. It really is nervewrecking. Haih. Sometimes i question myself if debate was truly where i belonged. And that is only being the 1st speaker. I cant imagine taking the role of 2nd, or even worse, 3rd.

It started quite late as the quarantine started late coz ssi was late. heh.

anywho, the crowd was damn huge. Bigger than during the quarter finals that is. Oh yeah, the sigs debaters managed to make it.

As the debate went on, ssi definitely did a great job. They were passionate bout it, of course. Like jaslyn said b4, she cant imagine not debating. They have done it for like..what? 3 years now? Since i do know all three of em, i do know that debate is something which they do because they love it, and not only for the sake of representing their school.

SSI won. Truth to say, i knew it would turn out that way even before the debate began. (i have this instinct thing going on). im not saying that convent isnt great, 'course we are! But..maybe it is time for us to just..accept our fate and step down to let those who deserve it get to where they wanna be.

At the finals, SSI will most probably, or definitely meet EC again. If im not mistaken, for the past 3 years they have lost to ec. So i hope that this time, since they made it to the finals, they would break the tradition and emerge triumphantly. I dont knw why im siding with SSI but i just think i would like to see them win for a change.

Im proud to call myself a Convent debater. I asked my sister to come and watch as i had a feeling this were to be my last debate in a very very long time. She really is my true supporter. Was glad having her there. She even mingled with my ridiculous frens aka cheryl, joey, ilham and kareema. hahahaa...

All in all, i have no regrets whatsoever coz i know i did the best i could, just as i have planned. Everything happens for a reason and so i know there is something that would come out of this.


GOOD LUCK SSI DEBATERS! JUST REMEMBER, U HAVE A SUPPORTER RIGHT HERE. =)
