Honorable second best

Assalamualaikum everyone!

Yesterday was indeed very very tiring. As I had mentioned, I participated in interclass debate championship, and managed to get through the final round. Although my team didn't win, but we are grateful enough to be given the chance to enter the final round. All debaters were good though, maybe it's just not their luck. We lost against Tesl E whom I can't deny, are good speakers and the rezeki was with them. Early morning yesterday, I went out to have breakfast with my housemates before the event started. At 8, me and my teammates did the registration and entered the meeting hall for the briefing. After that, we were asked to draw lot to know which side we were in, whether government or opposition. Then the motion was revealed. The motion for the preliminary round was "This house opposes omegle.com" and we got to be in the government side. The preliminary round started at 9:30 a.m and ended at 11 a.m.

After the preliminary, we had a break for like 2 hours and a half since the quarter final started at 1:45 p.m. Had lunch with my housemates at Kg. Selamat and bought big apple donuts. I was already exhausted after the first round ended though, because the room I was debating in was super cold. During the quarter final, my team got to be the bye since there were an odd number of teams left. That means we secured the place straight to the semi-finals. In Malay we always say "menang tanpa bertanding". I was happy and scared at the same time, BECAUSE I knew that the motion for the semi-final would be even harder. During the semi-final, we had to be the opposition and the motion was "This House Believes That Professional Clubs Should Only be Owned by Local Authority of the Area They Represent". Alhamdulillah, it was beyond expectation that our team would win because it was a heated debate with the other law group.

Finally, after maghrib prayer, I went downstairs for the final round between my class, Law D and Tesl E. The final motion was "Since the Lecturer cannot teach all subjects, this house would not make it compulsory for the students to study all subjects offered in the course" and we were the opposition. After we got the motion, we were given an hour an a half to prepare to give way for debat final to take place. Both government and opposition team were quarantined in a room, so that we would not be disturbed by anyone. The final round for debate started at 10 p.m and ended at 11.15 p.m. I was super tired yesterday, that I didn't even study for my test at all. Not a bit. After all, it is a great experience and I have learnt a lot from the event. Alhamdulillah. I myself didn't even foresee that we would have made it into the final. Dapat masuk final pun dah bersyukur kan.
