However, Xinmin got the brains. The aggregate is 235+?
Kuo Chuan's only at 228?
5 guys, 1 girl. Rose among the thorns?
Hah.
SCOREBOARD
Kuo Chuan Presbyterian - 43 [Proposition]
Xin Min Secondary - 57 [Opposition]
MOTION:
"Don't try to be funny. Our society does not encourage a sense of humor."
I think this motion is by far ridiculous. Of course humor is greatly encouraged. I watch comedy movies. I watch Phua Chu Kang and other sitcoms. I even laugh so loudly while watch Gags on the bus. Hee. Okay. So obviously, Kuo Chuan will/had lost because of the motion.
But before i talk about the match. I thought the atmosphere is much better than the other 2 matches. Plus, Kuo Chuan had this survivor theme banner. I thought it was so cool. Shades, blazers. Hot Hot Hot. Especially the one in the centre. But i couldn't see closer. I bet it's either Bertram or Ronald. But anyway, i think Xinmin's cheer was so much nicer. Reminds me of the sec 1 orientation i had to lead back then.
ROUND 1 - Blabbermouth VS the outwitted.
2 thorns fighting for points. Haha. Bertram was such a bullet train. Half the time, i strained my ears trying to locate his words and form sentences. Andrea was really keeping his cool. But 2 short POIs? I have doubt about it.
When it came to Andrea's turn to speak. I could understand! Ah-ha! But Bertram was pinning him down big time. 5 POIs? That's alot for just 1 round, and half the time, Bertram's POIs don't made any sense. I was pitying Andrea, and he had to resort to "erm, okay" so as to move on. Okay, so because i could barely hear 3/4 of Bertram's speech, i have very little comments about this round.
ROUND 2 - The thorn who tried to prick the rose.
The Rose VS the thorn. Guy VS Girl. This has got to be interesting, and it sure was.
Ronald was not really aggressive, and i dun see the problem in being fierce?!! Hell no? I think the judges were so pak jiao. All of them. I thought he deserve to at least get a vote or maybe a tie. He was the best speaker among the KCP boys i think. His delivery was the smoothest compared to the other 2, and he did assert some authority. Oh well. Too bad, he chose to criticize PCK, especially when tan kheng hua was there!
Junyi was quite good, and she was surprisingly calm! Show your gentleness, and flirt a little or two, and you'll win the match. Easy as 123. Flirting was a great option, for a girl that is. Told you, girls will have an edge. Anyway, her points were broader, but i thought Ronald's rebuttal to her were rather weak, but her reply was not that great either. It's still my favorite round though
ROUND 3 - 3 TIX or 3 PEOPLE?
Round 3 was hilarious. I thought Xinmin could aced it, but KCP beat it with wits and grammar.
Bertram was still ear in ear out, c-r-a-p.
So was Andrea, both were pretty bland.
But junyi was the root of the 3 tix problem! MUhahahhaa. And shane was able to catch it.
Nelson, job well done too. But not enough.
I thought Ronald and Junyi made the more sensible POIs, compared to the rest. Shane's coming in as a close third.
ROUND 4 - SHAME ON YOU!!
I love that quote. "Shame on you". And it sounds pretty hilarious, with "Shane, Shame on you" Effing weird. So anyway, shane was blabbering and not really hitting the points of the opposition, and Nelson was torturous. It's a pain to my ear. But job well done for making full use of his 49 secs.
For the opposition case. I thought it was the most concrete one. Strong, Edgy and exciting! Shane, too bad for you.
TOP 3 BEST SPEAKERS
1. Nelson Quek - Pain in my ears, unpleasant to my sight, but job well done to that boy. BEST SPEAKER. Great Rebutting, but a little too mean.
2. Ronald Foo - Best speaker in KCP. Showed authority, showed personality. Cute too. What else you want to condemn?
3. Junyi - She was so calm and gentle. New twist to debate. She's my idol.

Lol... I know I look like crap and my debating skills suck (I'm Shane =P) But come on... I've never been in debate in my life till now...
But still, excuses, and you're right about me blabbering.
Based on your comments you'll fall in love with Ronald if you ever meet him (I assume you're a gal), so good luck
Very intelligent comments. I totally agree. If we had just built our case a little bit more we would've beat 'em, but ah wells...
btw, the fella in the middle of the survivor poster is Ronald. Somehow we managed to make him look taller than either of us =P
God bless ya
