SY, we just plain rock.
First the talentime.
THEN THE DEBATE.
YOU CANNOT IMAGINE MY HAPPINESS!!
(Okay, maybe you can, but hey.)
It was quite horrifying, I must admit. I fumbled at the beginning, forgot my case division (which the debate senior/judge was kind enough to remind me of
after the debate) and squished the ending with a weak "Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you will support the proposition." AUGH.
Samantha was just so cute. She gets worked up when she starts rebutting, which I find somewhat amusing (with no offense meant, really) and she starting shouting a little. The debate senior/judge also did not fail to mention that "shouting on the floor is discouraged" after the debate. But despite the hiccups at the beginning, she was still very good and very spirited and very "LET'S WIN THIS DAMN DEBATE". It was very encouraging.
I still think the best bit was when she rebutted a point from PE, which was about how women have monthly periods, and therefore would be inconvenienced.
Samantha's point?
"We may have monthly periods, but men still have to shave!"
I'm sorry Sammy. BUT IT WAS JUST SO FUNNY.
I still laugh when I think about it.
Joelle, you seemed nervous. Really nervous. With the mumbling and shuffling through the pages of your book and asking to sit on the table before deciding to stand up again and go through a lot of hooha. But you still pulled through, gave good points, and what's more, YOU STILL GOT BEST SPEAKER AWARD. YOU ROCK, JOEY! YOU AND YOUR HALF-ORANGE-HALF-YELLOW LOLLIPOP which you happily relished throughout the debate. Oi, no eating in class.
(Not that the senior minded, really.)
Gosh. I am so happy. Champions of the debate.
We are just too amazing.
SY, SY, SY, WE ROCK!!Special Thanks:To Andrea: Thanks so much for being there for us! You were amazing, all your research and all your sweat and blood and perhaps, some tears. You and your point on the burning of people in BIG BRONZE POTS. XD You were great anyway, and you helped us so much. I AM SO VERY GRATEFUL. I'll do my best to watch Fullmoon, okay?
To Yani: AUGH. I DIDN'T MANAGE TO SEE YOU DEBATE. But I do know that you rejected alot of POIs. Your "No thank you, Madam" must be ace now. WOOHOO. Thanks for putting in your effort too!
To Sammy: OUR LOVELIEST-EST REBUTTER. You were the most spirited and enthusiastic and the best rebutter and POI-giver any class could have. Your speeches, after getting through the first barriers, grew to become grand, deep impressions. You were ubergood throughout this whole hooha. Thank you, and for your sake, PAUL ROCKS!
To Natty: It didn't matter that you seemed nervous, your speech was still VERY GOOD. The way you reject people or flag them down is just so amazing. It makes me laugh.
Madam, I am not obligated to answer your question. XD That just rocked. You were really amazing as well, thanks for being there that day and for giving me points on how to reject POIs.
To Joelle: Thank you so much, you've helped us through a lot of hiccups and horrors! Thanks for all the tips and lessons you gave us on debate, all of it helped greatly. Thank you for helping us amateur debaters through this entire ordeal and congradulations for getting the best speaker award! You rocked. Go get yourself a lollipop. Oh wait, you just had one the other day.
GOOD WORK, DEBATERS, AND ONCE MORE, CONGRATS!
We are the champions!-Joy.
