Debate...finally over
It has been a gruelling 3 mths tt i have been dwelling in this whole "CCA" from work...joining the nursing debate.There were times where work = debate mtgs. i have been barely at work, dozing off after lunch coz the carbo is doing it's "magic", sitting there almost at the verge of tears when the rebuttals tt our facilitators seem too cruel to be true. i have been brought to my limit through this whole thing.
Having to deal with interpersonal problems. sam, G and i have fought fiearcely to keep our dear miss rag in our team. the dormant member in our team, after realisation tt she had no part to be a speaker, decided to take a back seat. seeing tt she comes late for most of the mtgs...why?...it was always the fault of the bus. i think u must be quite suay to have faced a jam or a broken down bus every other day. felt like it was unfair whe the facis told miss G n myself to pay a fine of $10 coz we were 15mins late. wat abt her? i should go n collect the $ from her man. Rebuttals and rebuttal cards were suppose to be prepared by "dormant"...but when was it finally prepared(i mean the cards) YESTERDAY! wah lau eh...she still had the cheek to tell me tt it was coz the rebuttals tt we had prepared hv yet to be finalised...tt, pple...is a lousy excuse. we had such a horrible time practicing yesterday i really wanted to cry. things weren't any much better wif "dormant" reading sam's script coz she was having fever n couldn't join us for the practice. eventhough the mtg ended at 3 pm (which is considered very early), i felt so demoralised at the end of it.
We had to deal wif the stress from our facis...miss G was already tearing n miss rag was super sain n refused to read the script anymore...why?...coz out rebuttals sucked. not 1 ans tt we gave to them was ever the 1 they were looking for. this morning i felt the stress mounting as we fought so hard for the same 4 pple who did the semi's to also speak for the finals. we needed to perform...we needed to prove tt our insistance was the right choice. yest..."dormant" proved to the facis tt she was indeed not fit to be 1 of the speakers yesterday. words tt needed a "S" had non. words tt didn't need it, had them. her sentance structure was bad, she could read the script properly. i really wonder what on earth was she doing when the rest of us were bz practicing. during rebuttals, we were like dragging a "corpse". she couldn't formulate her own rebuttals, she couldn't help the rest wif theirs...we were handicapped!
Yet now on the hind side, all these problems and stress did make this debate a memorable. i am glad to have gained 3 new frens. Miss G - the funny and vain 1. she is always asking us if her top is nice, is her bag nice, is her newly pedicured toes nice, is her hair nice & etc. but this is 1 girl with a big heart. she loves to share things wif pple (like where to go for cheap n gd pedi), she is always full of stories to tell us(esp abt her families). Miss rag - the ADHD mum. she is so crazy over the microphones! she will go from 1 to the other n test them all out. she will never miss out on participating in any "codes". she juz loves wat she does. she is 1 funny lady that naver fails to be like a mum to all of us. Miss sam - the smarty pants. she is a very determined person. has a very sensitive sense of smell (esp to stench). she is a proud mummy of 1 who is very opinonated in the thing tt she believes in, never worried abt how others will view her. clicks well with almost everyone, very socialable. a great team leader.
Gals, i will definately miss all the funny things tt u all do tt makes u so special. will miss going to 3C to see all of u stare back at me. you all have become like family.
