My little message

EH! We need new photo-shoot lah!! 

Hey Ho debaters!
I don't know if you know that the step down period for sec 4s will be 20th April which is over? Apparently we didn't have like a small party and stuff. TSK!! Why like that?!! So Rabanni and I didn't get the chance to make a goodbye speech (WHY LIKE THAT?!!) So what comes next after speeches are... WORDS! Okay, so this is gonna sound cheesy and corny...

Firstly, I am so glad that I got to know the existence of the team when I was in secondary 2. I joined debate because I was sick and tired of doing things just to please people and I didn't like. I didn't know what debate was, and how it is like. I was an arrogant asshole who thought I knew all the stuff happening around the world. That's why Stuart, Serena and Dinie hates me lah! 

There came to a point in time when debate suddenly became really tired and hard for me, and I was on the verge of quitting, then I asked myself, "why do I want to quit? Is debate really hard? Or you're just not trying hard enough? and, Do I want to be seen and known as a quitter?" 

I decided to get my act together. I finally knew what debate was, I tried to learn from past mistakes and analyse many debates. Coach then came to tell me one thing that debaters lack in during a debate finals, "You are now here sitting at the auditorium looking at this people around here who look normal and wear normal clothes. But in fact, many are a bunch of fucked up arrogant shits. One thing many debaters lack is being humble." ( Disclaimer: Might not be 100% accurate :P) It's struck me. 

Slowly, my relationship with Stuart, Serena, Dinie and Rabanni got closer. I'm starting to feel accepted by the team and I'm always really excited when there's debate practice. Then I also realise, debate isn't only about individual, it's about out teamwork and friendships. I kinda heard that there are debate members who fight internally, luckily, WE LOVE AND UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER! SEE! Told you it's gonna be cheesy!

It's because of our friendship and understanding towards each other ( I'm referring to EVERYBODY in the team), we went through thick and thin, tasted bitter and sweet together. I can say we improved. We did it as a team and we made it as a team and we won it as a team. If I wasn't for all of your support, my debating journey wouldn't be a fulfilling one. 

Honestly, I still feel kind of injustice that we didn't make it to the quarter finals and I definitely think that we deserved to! When I was watching the 3rd division finals hours ago, I had no idea whether I should cry, or go in rage mood. It's like a stand up comedy to me (my opinion). Haiz... This isn't how debate is suppose to be.

This competition actually actually already exposed me to a little on how the society actually works. Super cruel, super unpredictable, super elitist. All about the survival of the fittest. However, I hope that none of us will become like that one day, even I, myself is really afraid that I may turn to to someone scheming and sly. 

This is not all, there's more. But I'm just gonna stop here. So juniors, if you see any past mistakes the sec 4s made, change it, don't learn from us. I will definitely continue to attend training with all of you while doing my homework :P. (I SUPPORT YOU!!!) O level coming eh! 

After reading my cheesy message, I hope you learn a little bit of things. Start loving each other, I don't mean that love. LOVE YA (pardon the grammar mistakes) ;D 
I WANT DEBATE HOODIE AND PARTY!!!!

Lots of love,
Megan Hon :D
