yesterday's dabate! [sic]

4:55 PM
We won leh! Like, we got the highest amount of points!
I'm at Ariel's house now! :D We're doing the Entrepreneurial Bazaar posters together. Our shop's name is The Mama Shop. Ahem. Our form teacher chose the name, so that's not our fault hor!
Anyway, yes, the debate.
So we were all hyped (at least I was!) and excitedly prowled the corridors outside of 6K (including me stealing Ariel's spectacles and stuffing them into her pencilcase 'cos she was mean! YYX was too lor! And she's supposed to be this model student can! D:). Then after a while (that means the stealing of the pair of 575-degree spectacles, ahem! Ariel was frantically walking around (in circles hor) trying to find her spectacles.) we went in.
Blah the DSA.
Blah going back to 6J.
Blah returning to 6K, the venue of the debate.
OK so the first up was 6L against 6K. 6L had YJ ok, and she's like, damn pro lor. But 6K's speakers were all school debaters can! :D The motion was something like erm, THBT English should be taught by native speakers. Ah.
Eh wait Ariel needs to edit her post. 'Cos of a grammatical error. She put 'had' instead of 'had had'. Frankly hor. I don't see the difference leh. (I know my grammar sucks lah.)
Hence the excessive Singlish.
*
OK she's done. Ahem.
Alright now, THERE IS A TOE BEHIND ARIEL NOW LEH! IT'S EATING HER!
(She say I cannot type that lor. Otherwise she won't gimme a Strepsil lor.)
*
6L's first speaker was *Boy One and he did pretty well at the start. When someone from the Opposition offered a POI, he didn't handle it well. Read: He generally paused for an eternity (in debate context I mean) until my hair turned into a toe (and turned back into hair, this cycle repeated thrice.) He concluded his speech very very fastly.
The second speaker YJ was like, damn excellent.
The third speaker *Boy Two was good at the start but when someone from the opposition POIed him he started stuttering and flipped through his many notes. One memorable quote from him ('cos the Opposition had POIed that the word 'papaya' was in an English dictionary, and it was originally a Malay word):
"Is the word 'papaya' used in Great Britain? I'm not (very) sure."
Kuakuakua.
Anyhow, he messed it up fine. Then he started (of all things lor!) tearing silently, much to his teammates' horror. I was also a bit erm, shocked lah. 'Cos it was in the middle of the debate leh! How can anyhow want cry then cry one?
I typoed just now: dabate.
Ahh.
Oh yes, after Boy Two's speech, Mr. Tan had to answer nature's call. As in go to the toilet. So he left for the toilet. Mrs. Tay, the other adjudicator, told everybody not to make too much noise (I think so) and that discussion was not allowed, because it was not the two-minute conference.
As usual, most of the audience heck-cared her and continued discussing who they thought would win the debate. However, 6L's team was horribly untoey. The reserve, She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named, decided to heck-care the debate rules and proceeded to walk over to where the four speakers of the team were, and began talking to the several members of the team, with the exception of the third speaker, who was so distraught that he could not stop crying. I dunno if they were discussing or what lah, but duh-uh, they cheated lor. Even the blind can see lor! Maybe not hor.
I was suitably appalled and pointed this out to Ariel, who immediately started ranting. (I completely regret telling her lor! And no, Ariel, I don't care about the past tense. Plus what is that weird spaghetti song playing ah?)
Ariel says that since they cheated, they should've been disqualified.
They were not.
They won leh.
Rawr.
Ahhhh.
Why! They shouldn't have won mah, should've been disqualified lor! 6K should've won by default. Well, I know K's definition was like, weird, but L's was as well. I couldn't really understand either. L was the proposition, so erm, they should like, I dunno, set the definition. The entire debate, by the way, was about the definition. All the speakers, even the third speakers, included the definitional challenge in their speeches in a frantic bid to win the challenge. What for?
Adapted from Sylvia's ex-personal message:
Won the battle but lost the war.
(Geddit?)
Anyways,
the reply speaker *Plippy did a wonderful job and salvaged the situation.
By the way * means that erm, all names are made up.
Our dabate, meaning 6J against 6M, was a freaking close fight lah. J won, as aforementioned.
I like using 'aforementioned'.
Bye (I really got to go liaoh hor, way overshot le.)
Tee.
