Before I start, I would like to say something: RI sucks; big time.
Why? Let me have the honour of providing you with the reason.
Well, today, I was at NYGH (before your imagination brings you to fantasize, let me bring you back) to watch the grand finals for the Julia Gabriels Debating Competition for Secondary Schools 2007 (ah yes...the anti-climax...).
Mm-hmm, anyways, allow me to continue. So, there was, watching the titanic (if i may) struggle between MGS and RI.
Yes, you didn't hear me wrong. MGS vs RI. Who would win, when you get the queen of debate (soon not to be) against the king of debate (which is just a fallacy)? Of course, RI, being the 'reputable' school of perfect English speakers, would most likely win, correct me if I am wrong. But that's not the point, no digressing this time...
Moving on...yes, these two schools tugged, pulled, shoved, stabbed, hurled at each other words of intensity, refute, substantiation so on and so forth. It was practically a war of words as we, as the audience, sat back and watched the pandemonium unfold slowly, but surely.
However, the best part came during the third proposition (MGS, by the way) and the reply (also the proposition) speech. I am sure most of you know, HCI and RI ain't exactly the best of friends, so when the third proposition speaker, Selena Wee (I am not really sure of her name...) said something that went like this, "RI's selfish exclusionary view of sports...". Immediatley after that, a cheer from the MGS girls came in waves, applauding her for her act of bravado. HCI people didn't really cheer or anything, but I know that I was laughing inside.
Then, in the repy speech, guess what the reply speaker (which is also the second speaker, aka Beulah something, don't remember her surname) called RI? Three guesses...fine. Never mind. She called them: BLOSSOM, BUBBLES AND BUTTERCUP!!! Now, what do you think of that? Of course the whole auditorium roared with laughter. After that,I really don't remember much about the rest of the speech. But I DO know that GS came in 3rd (YAY!:D) and RI came in fourth.
The first and second are as follows: 1st=>SCGS (The new queens) 2nd=> Cat High
I will continue about the first and second in my next post.
Night people, Woon Wei
