Presidential Debate '08

It's been a while since I've been here, so u could say i'm still in my busy days.

Nevertheless, I'm still here, updating all of you about what's happening recently. Yes, just mere hours ago, our ADP annual Presidential Debate for parties running for Student Council had just ended. Overall, I would say that it was interesting, though less exciting that last year's, considering the fact that there were only 3 parties competing this term instead of 5. The debate was split into 4 sections: introduction, questions from current Council members, comments from the floor, and closing.

Now, let's introduce the contenders this term:
1. From FCUK's, Sean
2. From FU, Ben Jin
3. From U-Bun-Tu, Michael

All, are great men and all, are great friends.

What happened:
The debate started off with each president introducing themselves and their respective parties. Simple? Not if you have too little or too much to say. Some went overtime, some had ample time, quite bad for a first impression eh?

Up next was questions from the current council members, where the current council members "grilled" them alive. They question the presidents regarding their party policies, capabilities as a leader etc etc. The grilling was rather interesting, seeing how the Council shot them with questions and how they reacted to it.

Then comes the fun part, comments from the floor, also known as the "banging" session. Yeah baby! It's where everyone gets to voice out what they feel like voicing out, and shoot questions, disagreements and comments at the presidential candidates. And this was the bomb! Everyone of them practically got bombed, one way or another...

Lastly is their closing, nothing special.

Now, for my closing, I wanna sleep now. So good luck n all the best to all campaigners. Nitez ppl...=)

Updates~~

Yes lu, quite bz lately... and still is... but i'm still not dead, so dun worry...

So...updates for the past couple of weeks:

1. Assignments piling up...
2. PASS tutoring...
3. Basketball, dodgeball and dancing was fun...
4. Had a few tests n presentations...
5. Fking LAN...yes, "FUCKING"

And basically...today is not really a good day for some of us...

Morning was fine, speech class went on smoothly, had a few laughs, did some presentation, and had some fun too... My "nightmare" came in the 2nd hour of D.E., where we FINALLY (yes, after weeks of "anticipation") had our first quiz. Well, it wasn't as bad as i'd expected, it's just that the questions that Ms Theresa asked were not so clear cut as is was before (Calculuses). According to her, we are already of "higher order", so we're kinda expected to know all these little surprises. The paper was actually fine, it's just that I, being the forever "smart alek", finished 15 mins earlier and left. And guess what...I bloody misinterpreted 1 whole question wrongly and there goes full score. Not really my day huh? Should've double/triple checked b4 i leave..."SMART" LAH!!

To make things worse, during LAN class, our lecturer asked us to present our answers for a quiz. It's a quiz based on critical thinking, which means there's no right or wrong. But that bitch just has a problem with the whole class and failed more than half the class just like that. Even the usually "couldn't be bother" me also felt very tulan with her, not only because she failed half the class, but because of the way she speaks, really feel like smacking her man...

Anyway...overall day was pretty OK LAH... just had a few moments of anger and dissappointment. Have things to attend to now...so nitez and tata...
