Talking about the HOT stuff.

So, what is the current (hot) stuff about me now? Of course about my school debate team lah. Boring? Not really.

Since we won for the Sabah + WP Labuan region last May, so we are now preparing for Kej*hanan Ant*ra T*knik national level which Johor is the tuan rumah for this year.

The competition will be held in 3 SMt schools in Johor namely SMt Muar, SMt Batu Pahat and SMt Segamat this early June. Yes, during the holiday! Dem.

Before I proceed, let me recall back what had happened in Sandakan hari tu. For the debate competition, each school will be given 3 topics. 1 for the first round, 2nd is for the semi final and the 3rd is for final. If you loose in the first round, you will be competing in the loser pool for the plate cup. If you loose in the semi final, you will loose lah. They don’t have 3rd and 4th place. Pelik jugak la for me.

These are the 3 topics which represents 3 different level of competition that we had for the previous competition in Sandakan:

1- Blogs are a form of media abuse.
2- Academic qualification is a prerequisite for future success.
3- Scientific advancement will cause the downfall of mankind.

We got the Opposition side for the 1st and Final topic and Government for the semi final topic. Obviously we won all.

So, what is the recipe for success?

Practise, practice and practice. (Remind me of Mr Ng Hee Liang)

=)

For this coming competition, we have received the topics. And the bad news is they have 4 topics this time; meaning that we have to prepare all the 4 topics script before we off to Johor. For your information, we have to prepare and practice both sides, the Government and Opposition (negative) side. We’ll be only knew on which side we are 1 hour before the competition. Ye, sangat mendebarkan.

Since at this school we have 10 English teachers, so the burden of preparing the script is not that high as we can divide the works among us. Of course, there are some sleeping members too but we manage I think.

These are the topics given:

1- Handphones are a necessity among students in school.
2- Should animals be used as object of sport and entertainment?
3- Food stalls should stop operating after midnight.
4- “One student One sport” policy should be made compulsory at school.

We will have a ‘bye’ for the 2nd round which is the 2nd topic IF we won at the first round. So, fingers cross guys.

I don’t understand why we should debate on the government policy. Of course the information against the topic is limited. And yours truly is writing the last (final) topic- on the policy, for the negative side. Nightmare? Yes, it is.

So guys, any ideas on the point to present for the last topic for negative side?

Please, drop a comment.

Btw, we are going to Muar. ;)
