Best foot forward.

Whoa.. i just realized this is post 99! Almost a 100! whee... 1 more to a 100.
Hmm.... i have been pretty slack in blogging lately, but you can't blame me for that because i have been really busy last week and the week before. School just started and apparently, i am still adjusting. Well, at least i write the year as 2008 now. =) Anyways, i also realized that it just isn't blogging that i have been slacking in, its well, almost EVERYTHING. Like, i just don't feel like doing anything school-related besides my CCA's band and debate now. (yes, i do like band. Weird though, its like i grew-to-like kind of thing, inky yes i know, but its true. Perheps its the friends and bonds you form unconsciously and you only realize it when you stop going. Like for eg, last week i missed all my band trainings for debate as there was a competition, in which we didn't even win ( more on that later.. and yes a bracket in a bracket, don't you learn algebra?!?) I felt so, so, so musically deprived. Yes, there is such a thing.

Oh and speaking of the debate comp (yes, ms hia this is for you... you better read it.)
It was so... well discouraging, because you put in so much effort but you just don't see the results.
Results, results, results.
Thats what i need.
But what i have been having is, (instead)
processes, processes, processes.
Hmm... maybe now is the process period.
Not the results period.
And it seems as though sometimes its never ending.
Well, thats when you practice this " When the going gets tough, the tough get going".
Hmm... but i am curious (this is my 2nd hmm already...i need more expressions)
what if you aren't tough, does that mean you don't get going??
Maybe. (2nd time i am using maybe.)
Maybe not. (3rd)
I am not so sure.
But what i am sure of is, when i talk alot, and express things aloud or rather outloud,
I process better. No process as in think.
Which is why in debate. Never ask me to brainstorm. I usually dont get anything.
Mainly because we don't talk and whats more have to remain silent.
Wow.
An amazing feat.
I wonder how debaters do that.
Anyway, back to the point (its a amazing how far i can drift from the point, which is.... see you forgot, i really drifted.... the point is about the debate comp... haha, do i hear a "oh yeah..."??, if not, than your memory's just as bad as mind. Good, we're in the same boat. But unfortunately, its sinking....)
ANYWAYS... (before i start drifting again...)
Debate Comp.
Hmm.... well, all i know is that i really really really tried my best.
And to be honest, i am proud of myself.
I can say in full confidence, that i did my best and there was nothing i could do to make my performance better. But don't get me wrong, it doesn't mean that i will not improve. Of course i will. Even Rachel Kwai (or however you spell it... oh and FYI shes the best debater according to everyone except me cause i really haven't heard her speak... yet.) has room for improvement!

Yeah but the day past really fast.
The schools we faced were RI and Xin Min to both we fell to.
Sadly.
But it was interesting.
Once again, it was an interesting process or also known as exposure or what ever you call it.

Anyways, on a lighter note, here are some pics of jamie's birthday. Er, they are above.
Too lazy to bring em down.
