And finally after the long hard fought battle, we won.



(Past and Present Debaters of FMSS)
Fairfield Methodist Secondary School, CHAMPIONS of the WORLD!
Okay maybe not the world, but CHAMPIONS of the JG's B division!
(Well, it felt like the world... at least to me it did...)
It was an awesome day on the 18th April 2008! Fairfield conquered fellow students from SJ(International) in a war of words. Yup, We won the Debate.
On that evening, the motion being debated was "THW Boycott the Beijing Olympics."
Fairfield being the Proposition and obviously SJI being the opposition.
When the results was being announced you could feel the tension in the air....
Like literally....
Than, they had announced that the 2nd speaker from SJI was the best speaker....
and normally the best speaker went to the winning team....
BUT.
This wasn't normally,
This was extra ordinary,
"And the winning team for the B divison Julia Gabriel's Singapore Secondary Schools
Debating championships is....... FAIRFIELD METHODIST!"
I instantly LEAPT out of my seat.
You have no idea how happy i was, and to say that i was happy was an understatement in itself.
Watching the team practice practice and practice, they really did deserve to win.
It was really really a very close round with the decision being 3 votes against 2 votes
coming out from the 5 judges.
Thanks God! That 3 votes belonged to us.
What also impressed me was to find that not only Mr.Owyong and Ms Wong came to support
us but also Ms Lim! Yes! Ms Elaine Lim actually came down to support us!
I was pleasantly surprised in a good way.
All in all i had a great time, although i had to miss seeing my dad off at the airport
because he was going on a mission trip but its alright, at least i got to talk to him before
he boarded the plane... So its cool.
Oh and one last thing,
To God be the Glory!
