If you only knew the power of the dark side.
Postatem obscuri lateris nescitis.
"You do not know the power of the Dark
Side." There are two possibilities: you
are a Star Wars geek, or you are unreasoningly
scary.


Which Weird Latin Phrase Are You?

this is long overdue man....but i need a breather...after A div finals on Friday, i realised that it has been THREE WHOLE MONTHS of non-stop debating and there is more to come...

people should really believe me when i say that debate is a high stress and high energy sport. seriously all of you out there...it takes a lot of energy okay, we dont just sit there and talk *winks* you know i firmly believe that debaters should not marry each other..they will have terrible monsters for children who would tell their teacher "Why cant i talk, my daddy and mummy did that all the time when they were young and they won prizes for talking and talking and talking. I want to be like that". *zoom in on teacher's scrunched up and pained expression" hahah.....anyway, nalli got annyed with me last night cause i took to talking to her in third person. I like talking in third person, it is fun. anyway, michelle shall recount the events of her life for the last four days.

Friday night:
another AWESOME NIGHT...and mich means AWESOME....mich is so proud of all of them man....CHARLEEN, NALLI, JUDITH, VANESSA and STEPHANIE...you guys were fabulous!!!!! oh...and yes the RI boys too....congrats mich thinks you totally deserve the win and you guys really developed and changed so much over the tournament duration!!! anyway, back to the details.

so mich troops down to ACJC in the morning to get some stuff and then head to town to get errands done...mich had agreed to meet sharm and jolynn in town and to get to SRJC together. but she found herself free for 4 freaking hours before 5 and so she settled down in Mac's at Lucky Plaza and read comics. CHINESE COMICS, yes mich is a comic freak her friends usually stares at her in disbelief when they find the shelves of chinese comics she has at home...and not to mention her school team jerseys...hahaha

so she sat there and read and read and read....then at four she went to collect her tics for SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER(it is unbelievably perfect!!!!) and she went to change into the IJ uni....hahah mich walked round wisma for a while in it....rather amused at the fact she look at least 5 years younger ( i think it helps cause she is so freaking short and she still carries her poseur mambo bags she has from her JC days) then at 5.45, she, sharm and jolynn finally got a cab to SRJC (it was a london cab, they took a london cab to the debate!!!!!!)

when she arrived there, mark lim was just beside her, and he didnt realise that it was her until they were entering the lt...ahah he jumped he really jumped...MARK had a reaction!!! =) anyway, most people had a rather big reaction when they saw her...the RI seniors were like "what is wrong with you!!!!! and you know what!!! you dont look a bit your age at all and you look like one of them that is what that is scary!!!!!!!!" and so Tim (my dearest timmy kor kor, *mich can so hear him gulping in embarassment*) proceeds to tell everyone there, "see there is michelle, can you see her" which many cant....heh heh...(oh the barker boys couldnt recognise her either...it was quite hilarious, when they did..they kinda of gave her a look and proceeded to question her why she wasnt in an AC uniform the previous friday).

michelle shant go into boring details about the detail. FAST FORWARDS TO PRESENTATION.

man, the annoucement for top twenty was SCAAAAAAAARY. we sat there, holding hand and praying that we dont hear Nalli, Judith or Bern's name until much later. (Congrats to all of you!!!! i am so happy that you are in top 20!!!!! Nalli you rock!!!!!!!! Judith tooo!!!!! So do Bern!!!!!! third speakers rock man!!!!see you better believe mich next time) and so the name were read out one by one....and we all got more and more excited. and finally he stopped at top 5. phew....nalli's name wasnt there...and then came the usual blah blah blah.....fifth place.....fourth place.....and third....we went mad....clapping for Nalli....(but the funniest part of the whole night was when Chere was annouced as second and the *mad* RI boys went crazy and cheered....cause Suhas was best speaker of the series.) Charlene, Leigh-Anne and Me were holding each other's hand so tightly as Aaron gave the debrief.....and we went mad again when IJ won third!!!! it was the coolest thing to happen........hehe......

*later on the way out, we shouted at tim across the road "TIMMY KOR KOR!!!!" and he stared at me in bewilderment and said "I think the IJ uniform is really getting to you, mich!!!"

Chere, i am so proud of you too!!! muacks!!!!! my little sweetie pie...remember the flowers you gave me they are in my precious debate box as well!!!!

we trooped to Holland V later for dinner at Swensen's and then to Judith's place for a sleepover. at six in the morning, we left the house and headed to ACJC for the IHL Debate Series...

the motions were killer man....killer.....man and i derived sadistic demand looking at the poor j ones struggling to define and debate these killer motions....

but it was painful.....

i fell asleep in the heads room after the debates ended.....i slept for two whole solid hours....two whole hours and we went for SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER.....it was amazing, fabulous, wonderful, totally perfect!!!!!! the dance sequence was like out of this world!!!.....perfectly out of this world.....

haha....seriously my fat ugly friend we should do this more often man and you still owe me a meal....actually more than one given how much you have reneged on it!!!!!

Sunday:
the second round of interviews for DEP....i shall spare people of embarassment. I have to admit that we are the most evil people around and you guys who turned up would rather try out for American Idol and have Simon Cowell rather than us....
actually i felt your pain too....i really did and the rest who came the week before as well....

so concludes three full days of debates and debate related events......*grumbles grumbles.....suffering from debate burnout*

monday, i am a pig i slept and slept and slept and i went to my teacher's house to do stuff and here i am typing my blog...hahah....time to go and read comics and later to mark essays.....hehe.....

you know what i think i am starting to sound incoherent.....hahaha......*big wide smiles to herself and grins like a mad cheshire cat*

before she goes, mich would like to say, I love all of you out there!!!

Char and Char, Nalli, Leigh - Anne, Chere, Sonia, Val, Judith, Bern, Alessa, Sharm, Jol, Grace
All the silly barker boys!!!! ahh

time to read comics seriously...time to read....
