During the past week, I would say that things have been shaping up to be pretty great. There were ups and downs. But not to worry, all will be spilt.
Ever since my last entry, I have been debating for almost everyday. Memories of my old self debating kept flashing before my eyes. Even though I realised that my passion was still there, I'm just feeling very down and sick about it. Maybe it's because of all the bullshit. Maybe I need a timeout, even though I had done so for the past 3 months of my life.
What really motivated me was when my newly paired teammate, Teh Kuok Ren, and I, were awarded the best speakers for numerous times throughout the entire debate, even though we only shared a win. We seem to start communicating and connecting with each other better now, and he seems to act as a torchlight when dealing about issues with politics. He's a smart person, and I really respect him for that.
When we got our first ever win in the 'British Parliamentary (BP)' style debate, I was overjoyed.
The last time I took first in the BP style debate was when I was teamed up with Mun Shin back in July and August, deliberating on one of my strongest points, pop culture. That was the only win I had for the BP style debate. I see Aaron Leong in Kuok Ren. All he needs now is to have more structure in his speech, and he'll be perfect.
Can't wait to see the juniors next Monday. It will be the first time we'll ever meet, and first impressions are very important. Something tells me that it's all going to go fine. We're supposed to train them until after we graduate from high school. Cocky.
I heard there's one who is totally obsessed over Taylor Lautner. Yu Pyn's the name, I think. She would describe every single pack and ab that is on his body in full detail, even colour wise and the nipples. Freaky, I know right.
Last Sunday after confirmation class, I hanged out with Alicia Nicholle, Samantha Koh, Jerome Heng, Nicholas Choo and Aaron Koh at The Curve. We had a great time there, catching up with one another, after months of hiatus, minus all the drama.
I wanted to watch 3 movies really badly then, and they were 'Burried', 'Altitude', and 'Red', but I crossed the last one out of the list because I heard that the movie sucked, real badly. The girls didn't want to watch the other 2, even though I was dying to watch them, because they were too scary. Seriously?
They kept insisting on watching 'Life As We Know It', after Josh Duhamel allured their hearts with his briefs, all because of that stupid promotional poster. Chick flicks, one after another, again. As if I hadn't had enough. I'd rather watch 'You Again' though, which we ended up watching, but I didn't mind any at all.
So the girls went with 'Life As We Know It', without me knowing it. But it didn't matter to me for I didn't mind anything at all.
When we entered the theatre and settled down with the popcorn in my hand, and a drink in another, the movie was about to begin. Moments later, the screen read, 'You Again'.
So I thought, "They must've been pulling my leg," because they kept insisting that they bought tickets for 'Life As We Know It', but yes. They couldn't remember what tickets they bought.
But anyway, it was definitely one of the best chick flicks that I've ever watched, compared to the one I watched with Becca Chong and Amanda Pasaoa Lee 2 weeks ago.
Other than that, we spent most of the time in the arcade, and snapping photographs in those typical Japanese photo booths, with our own cameras, and not the ones programmed. We were low on tokens, due to too much shooting with plastic guns and air hockey.
All in all, I had loads of fun. We should do this more often.
Just last Friday, as I was about to leave for home after attending a few meetings at school, Sean Beh stopped me and told me that the school's Editorial Board was running interviews for members in search of an upcoming committee, or board, for the year 2011. I was torn between commitments, but I went ahead anyway, for I was interested. I was cool throughout the entire process, which was not the usual me, because I would normally stumble over my words. Maybe it's because the people who conducted the interview were mainly my friends, like Pei She and Nicholas Lim. Even so, I had low hopes for getting anything for I was running against the more competitive, Form 4 students.
I was originally in the run for being the next Sub-Editor for the Arts & Graphics Department.
A few days later, little did I know that I was told that I got through. I was overjoyed.
I was given the lowest post, which was the Maintenance Chief. But no, I didn't mind at all. I nearly missed the boat, I know.
I'm pleased at the new committee, and would like to give my heartfelt thanks to the old committee for believing in me and my works.
I will continue to miss my seniors, especially those in the Editorial Board, and those in Interact Club, except for you-know-who. They were like a family to me, and I really appreciate all the care, attention and affection that they have shown to us all. That's all for now, adios!
You walk on streets of gold.
