What Will You Remember From High School?

quote "this is the thing that you will from high school. not your straight A's. not your 1st position in class. it's this." unquote
-pn. mag-
now, i truly understand the meaning of those words.
nothing will mean more that what i've got from this experience.
the knowledge
the skills
but the most important thing is, the bond























elena:
the bubbly, cheerful girls who makes me go *WHOA* all the time. i knew her since form 1 and we have been close ever since. but now, i can proudly say that our hearts connect. whenever i am down, her shoulder is always there for me to cry on, her arms are always there to support me and she, herself, will always be there to keep me together. i know that i have hurt her so many times in the same way... dear, you have my soul to repay that debt.















sophia:
the jovial, beautiful lady who makes my heart skips a beat every time i lay my eyes on her. (NO, I'M NOT BEING A LESBIAN! this is pure irritation for sophie :P ) i knew her since form 1 but we were in a blood feud in form 2. now, i can cheerfully say that we love each other more than we ever did in our lives. whenever my brain is jammed up, i don't have to say anything at all and she will clear up the clog instantaneously. i know that i have hurt her so badly once before.... dear, you my have my heart to repay that debt.

john:
the scary Einstein who turned us, NOOBS, into something else. now, we can proudly call ourselves, DEBATERS. i knew him personally 10 ten days before the first round of WIRA debate. now, i can truly say that i respect him. when we were barely anything, he made us into something. when we fall, he picked us up. when we failed, he succeeded. a coach, a friend, a great debater! i salute to you john!

keefe:
the cute, witty young man who sings the birds off the trees. i knew him since form 3 where he became my division head in the prefectorial board (how i wish to get back into Ponteng & Kelewatan) only now, i can truly say that i know Keefe Chan Jun Hwang, after so much 'ber-bonding' in KDU. when things aren't good, he gives you a pat on the shoulder. when things seem gloomy, he smiles. when things seem to fall apart, he holds them together. keefe, you are the best!

leannza:
the terrifyingly frank but sweet young woman who makes me think twice before saying something. (in a good way) i knew her since form 3 through choral speaking but i truly knew her only through debate. a wonderful superwoman who writes mind-blasting poems, stories and speeches. in the future, i am convinced that it will be books.

abhilaash:
the charming, sweet young boy who made me realise that enemies can be great friends. i knew him since form 1 but we thought that we will be lifelong enemies in form 2. it was through debate that now, we care for each other as teammates. i thank you abhi! for you were one of the few who held me together when i was about to fall apart in the kdu finals. go abhi!

marc:
the intelligent, kind guy who made me realise how it is to be a much better person. i knew him since form 2 but i have never liked him much. it was only through debate that i knew the real marc. and he is a LOVELY AND SWEET guy. he can be so caring and kind! i know that i have hurt him so many times in so many ways. i sorry marc!

SMK Damansara Jaya won 2nd in KDU Debate. this is thing that i will remember from high school.
now and forever.

So Close... Yet So Far

to john, sophia, elena, leannza and abhilaash:
endless thanks
deep down in my heart, i enjoyed the times we spent together
and, i will sorely miss, treasure and remember those times..
here is a sneak peak of what we talked about during discussions:

Abhi: guys, you know what... our team is really mixed... we have a malay(Sophia), an indian(Abhi himself), a chinese(leannza. he forgotten about elena because she was in CF camp)
Siew: 2 chinese(i corrected him)
Abhi: ok fine, 2 chinese and 1 don't-know-what (siew : me)
Siew: -.-' (speechless)

in conclusion,
i have a chinese name, but i look more like an indian
i have portugese blood, but i sound more like a malay
i have western features, but i act more like an asian
therefore, in the team, i am known as the
CHAPALANG (i think that is how you spell it :P)
bottomline, i don't want those times to end...
i don't want to the competition to end for us....
all we want to is just to move on... is that so hard?
well, miracle happens...
once in a while...
are the tears shed, hard work and sleepless nights enough to convince God to give us a miracle?
only heaven knows...

In The Name of WIRA

gah.... i just finished writing my speech. most probably, it will be in the my recycle bin later.... again... yes, i really think it will.... hmph, i wonder how many lines remain this time??? 5/7? or maybe less.... haiz
this is seriously torture!~
for others n me!
my mum is obviously not happy with all my time, energy and love being taken up by one single thing.
my family as a whole is not happy with me not around all the time and keep on asking for favours.
my friends are getting worried about keep and without fail, everyday someone will ask me "you ok?" and only god knows that for sure.....
my teachers are already giving us pressure too for homework and exam.
me myself is constantly scolding myself... for what, i'm not even sure at times... haha
bottom line, i'm torturing others and myself.....
for what?
i'm not so sure myself now....

Way To Go....

SMKDJ is declared "Champion" for Zone level.

Next round is against SMJK Katholik for District Champion title..

Victorious Win For The Team But Dreadful Defeat For Me

DJ won the Round 2 debate today against DU (we had a bye for Round 1)
our next round is on the 25th (next wed)
undeniably, we won with an unanimous vote
however....
it was dreadful defeat for me
i did so many mistakes! but, i only realised them after i spoke....
i spoke too slow but unclear at the same time,
my rebuttals didn't make sense at some part, and
i didn't answer the POI's correctly....
nevertheless, well done to
sophia
elena
leannza
marc
the preparation is superb

it hasn't started but i'm feeling the stress already...
