Ladies and Gemtlemen, This house believes that Temasek Junior College's DEBATE TEAM HAS BROKE THROUGH TO MOVE ONTO THE SECOND ROUND OF THE NATIONALS!!!

After Four long years, we have done it. They beat Millenia Institute 3-0 and lost to National JC 2-1 but the favour is that they still may go thru because they have a 4 part gain. They have done it. We are unsure at the moment whether we'll get through because RJ has yet to debate with YJ for their second case (because for a smart JC they are really quite stupid.They failed to realise that IN A NATIONAL COMPETITION, they should verify details even if they claim "we do not question authority", as the RJ coach had put it. WHich self respecting debating team would NOT realise that they are proposing the motion TWICE and are not opposing it at all. How idiotic. And this took place, despite the fact that their coach has represented Singapore as a national debator. Obviously a ploy to gain more time because they probabaly feel unprepared. effing stupidity)


saw Jonathan Pflug in an Abercombie and Finch tee. *moan* has lost appeal

Their is also poetic justice when they beat MI because, MI beat NJ and WE beat MI, thereby in a round about way, beat NJ, even though we lost to them. And congrats to Ras!! would love to take credit but hey babe! you won this on your own. Can't really call u my protege.haha.


I know I told them to keep a level head and all but it is soo hard.HAHA. I just kept screaming and screaming. making sure that every TJ person I saw was well informed of the fact that we might break through. I walked from room 101 until the staircase that leads to under LT2 with Qiong Hui trailing me all the way and opened the pages and starting screaming, just whooped for joy and hugged ms ng, in a manner of speaking. Flipped my shoes off at the bottom of the TRC staircase, ran up barefoot(cuz the blisters were just murdering me) burst into TRC screaming in the vicinty of every teacher "TJ DID IT". ran back. waited for ramanan to announce at which point of time I couldn contain the peeping grin that was threatening to erupt.H e took forever! sorry.haha. It was waay too long. screamed abit.did a TJ cheer which I forgot the lines after Say T.haha. and Cliff had to take over.
