On the matter of the past

Ah yes.

I forgot.


IIUM debate.



Time to come clean.







Well, it's not that extreme. Just I feel like blogging about it.





Let's start off with the most obvious point:

ALMOST EVERYONE AT THE DEBATE CAME DOWN WITH FOOD POISONING ('mua included)


it's never happened before, but lady luck dictates.

Poor IIUM people were scurrying around doing damage control.



now we move to the day by day chronicling :D

1st day
-long sleepy intro talk; slept then to replenish energy
-insistent LEO people calling (that was my fault though); problem was solved
-won both rounds of that day (1st round trashing[uniforms were a practical rehearsed topic thanks to wira]; 2nd round harder but was clear win)
-stomach still in good health because didn't go to banquet (thank the gods wherever they may be)

2nd day
-won 2, lost 1, final round was silent and left us worried (we lost the humor round, confound it)
-john was there for half the day and gave the judge that gave the win to the other team a poor score(didn't affect the poor man much since he was judging in the finals)
-quite snappish during the last prep round due to fatigue
-reached home at 12.30
-stomach had horrible adverse reaction 3 times in the middle of the night; clear signs o' diarrhea.

3rd day
-we broke 10th place and may have had to go against our sister(nay brother; they're mostly guys)team, but there was a miscalculation and we were re-ranked 11th(other team no change)
-got charcoal pill from Pn Angie and water retention pill from John. Siew and El found a quiet place for me(with diarrhea) and Daniel(high fever) to sleep till next round(at 2)
-unfortunately both teams lost at octo :(
-no worries. Cam hogged in the classroom afterward.


shit happens. But.


I don't regret it. seriously.


even though the school's not paying back my cash and I got scolded at by the LEO people.


still.

This is one of the best experiences I had.

it took the form 5 team to break 10th.

this year it took a form 4 team.

I see a bright future. No matter what anyone says about winning everything.

So. that's that.

all you people
who believe that winning is everything
go f*&^ off
cause you don't know the true meaning
of experience.
