Ready or Not



Assalamualaikum

It's been awhile since I have written any post even though I thought I could continue my routine like 3 years ago. Some habits die, some habits reemerged back. Right?

I enrolled myself in this tournament again. The Vice Chancellor Debate Cup for the third time. Last year, I was chosen as one of the debater to represent Nilam Court Hostel College through an audition and I was just a reserve in my team. Secondly, I represent Faculty of Science Technology and still a reserve but I got my chance to talk after joining some swing rounds and the rounds in the second day of the tournament. This time, again, I'll represent FST for the tournament. The problem is... am I ready for this again?

I recall a skype session with a friend whom I know through internet and I wanted to talk with her, knowing that she's a native English speaker, I prepared myself to talk in English. I got nervous when she agreed to have a voice chat through Skype. The funny thing was, I just type and type and type and she did the talking. So embarrassing ;~; and there was a girl too, a Malay, whom I know online too, joined us. Her participation made me succumbed into a cocoon of shame because she's just a 15 year old girl and me? a 20 year old girl whom mouth was shut through the entire session ;~;

But it's not the first time I shut my mouth out of nervousness when I try to talk with someone I know online. Most of my sessions with a friend (she's a Filipino and one of my favourite fanfic writers) were awkward sessions with silence from my side. There was even one time with 2 hours of silence from both of us. LOL. See.. I don't know why. I thought by my confidence that I have alone would make me go through the conversation smoothly... but I can't ;~;

But I have this habit, I really like to look into the people which I want to direct my point view to. I want them to listen to me and maybe this made me kinda awkward to talk with somebody I don't close to, plus in a voice chat session would make me feel inferior with what I'm going to talk? Herm... I need to have a deep thinking about this herm..

By the way! We back to our main point today~ the debate cup! These are the motions for the preliminary rounds. I heard there will be five rounds this time (and like previous tournaments too LOL)


1. THBT it is time for the sports industry to be realized
2. THW make a vehicle-free day in USIM
3. THBT it is time for the nasyid industry to be taken seriously
4. THBT LGBT is a threat to the country
5. THBT we should have more Tun Mahathir
6. THBT JK Rowling is better than Steven Spielberg
7. THBT the investments for sports is a waste

*THBT: This House Believe That ; THW: This House Would

The good thing is, my classmates are participating in the tournament too! They will represent the faculty for Arabic Debate category~ And yes, they are quite talented in Arabic language and I'm really happy my friends are participating this tournament too!!! Yay~~!! Wish all the best for us!


Till next time~

Anneyong!
