Sorry for not blogging for almost a year. I went to Hwa Chong Institution for a debate workshop last Wednesday. I thought that there were four of us going but it turns out that there were only Sabrina and me. Mdm Suriatie, our form teacher, took us there by taxi. (almost the same as the Language Arts Festival and the Maths Carnival.)

It took us 15-30 minutes to reach there. The instruction sheet said that the pupils selected must be able to speak fluent English however..... when I got there, the pupils were speaking SINGLISH!!!!! Ha ha, I too speak singlish. All those lah, hor etc. were so obvious. It was not long before we were allocate to our classrooms for the debate workshop. The instructor was skinny but funny. He taught us the technique of speaking with power.

We had a break after that. The break was very LONG - one and a half hours! We have buffet which consisted of many yummy food such as eclairs and sandwiches.

After the break, we had the opportunity to view other school's debate. Since our first and second choices were unavailable, we had no choice but to chose our third choice, which is, ROSYTH V.S. CHIJ KATONG. In my opinion, CHIJ pupils could present rather well but Rosyth pupils was stammering throughout the whole debate.It was said that the next year, we will join this competition. I am soo excited and looking forward to......
