Exams and Debate



Assalamualaikum...
Hi ! How long has it been since my last update ? I keep forgetting passwords to this blog and my yahoo e-mail and things .. Fewhh time flies . And fast !

So I had just finished my first term exams a.k.a Ujian Penilaian 1 2012. I have mixed feelings about this recent exam and none of those involved feeling elated :( I don't know ... felt like I didn't try my best and I could have done so much better . Awh well, there's going to be a lot of post-mortem and self-reflection to be done after the result came out.

Oh ya,speaking of results,my anxiety has nothing compared to all the 2011's SPM candidates when their results will be revealed in less than a week from now. Pretty tense, huh ? Well right now if I could give any advice (although I'm not that worthy of giving any advice even to myself), I would say that keep in mind that you all have tried your very best. I have seen last year that the seniors in my school really put their heart and soul into this one big examination and I sincerely wish them the BEST OF LUCK !

That is all for exams ! Now we shift our attention to ... *drumrolls * DEBATE ! Yes, I've joined the debate team in my school for the second time. And I have been given the position of 3rd debater also known as The Rebuttal ! Sound oh-so-amazing-out-of-this-world, right ? But the ugly truth is it came with a price. A rebuttal is the hardest position in the team as we can't depend solely on text. I have to listen carefully to what the opponents have to say and hopefully have the idea that is the same to the point I have prepared earlier ~,~ So our team consist of five debaters ; one 1st speaker, two 2nd speakers for both government and opposition and two 3rd speakers also for government and opposition team. I am the 3rd debater of the Government and my friend, Jiha will be 3rd debater for Opposition team.

Our motion that we will be debating this Thursday is 'Tuition Classes is Necessary for Students'. Basically, I think this motion is pretty easy but as an amateur in this cruel cruel debating world, it's still pretty nerve-wrecking for me ! And the hardest job to do is to answer P.O.I (points of information) from the opponents. I don't know I get tongue-tied at that moment and everything just went blank ! Well, let sure hope I won't be repeating the same mistake again *wishing ^^* Oh haven't I told you ? I suck at speaking English ! Yeah you may see that I write and read fine in English but I literally failed in terms of speaking the language. *facepalm * And people are fussing around to take Mandarin classes now -_-'

Well back to the debate, I know there's many hard competitors out there and me as an amateur still needs to learn a lot of things. But hey, I'm always willing to learn and try my best and Insya-Allah be successful to achieved what I am wishing for. Victory . That's it for the post now. Good day !
