MADPP Inter-class Debate Tournament 2016

I realised that I had not writing posts about my own life for a veryyyyyyyy long time. I miss my old times when I had so much inspirations to write. I don't know what happened to me :(

So, now, I am going to tell you guys about my experience during the MADPP inter-class debate tournament 2016. I was in the group 3, my teammates were Fahim and Zangief. They both were sooooo great that i was so insecure every time we were discussing huhu.

Talking about debate, i remembered my times back in kopu. For five years living in kopu, I envied the debate team so much because I couldn't join them. I asked Miss Erine and Miss Fat for three times but they rejected me as I was not qualified, based on my exam scores. Okay then... But then I joined Kota Putra Debate Championship (KDC) twice with my debate siblings, Faiqah and Syakir. For the first try, we lost in 2013. But, in 2014, we won as the champion and we were so happy!! :')

Ohh my boolat face >.<

Back to the original story, our group had to defeat Kamil's group which consisted of Alan, Kamil, Ayda and Sal. We were so nervous as their group members were too great. But, we gave our best to debate on the motion 'THW ban animal dissections in schools' as the government. I, as the PM, Zangief the deputy and Fahim as the whip. I was so nervous at the first place as I never play the PM's role (as before this, I would be the 2nd or 3rd speaker, which I thought I was so brave debating back then. But now...... hmmm). We prepared for this motion 2 nights earlier (Fahim was the most excited one actually heheh), and I watched back all the debate videos on the Youtube. And alhamdulillah, we managed to go to the next round, exactly 1 round after the next debate.

In this round, we met Minion, Riza and Fatin on the motion of 'THBT wealthy people should pay higher taxes' as the opposition. However we motion stands and we lose, :')

In the final round, my roommates, Sharifah and Iffah was in, alongside with Amirul Afiq. They were defeating Helena, Wilbur and Fina. I was so proud of them debating in fornt of everyone else!!!!

To wrap this up, I learnt a lot from this event. I learnt how to be the speaker of the house (even though they bashed me :P because I was trying to cheer the serious situation, even though I was aware that a speaker shouldn't do that heheh), giving a quality POI, and to speak more confident about my point. I had this 'disease' that I can't talk confidently when I am in front of all of the great people. I am too afraid to speak up hmmm.

So here are some pictures during the event. Enjoy!

Me, Zangief and Fahim

I thinks thats all for today. Thank you for reading! :D

Regards,

Alia.

Re Movies: Juno

Hey guys! Today i am going to make a review on a movie entitled as above. I watched this movie for the first time when Miss Jo chose it for our weekly movie.

This movie was a very good movie, as for me, it portrays the current situation in our society. It was about Juno, a high school girl who got pregnant and she decided to give her baby away. One day, she met a couple who desperately wanted a baby because they had married for a long time, but was not gifted any baby yet. Juno liked the couple because they had a very beautiful house, and looked happy together. Actually, even though Juno seemed like didn't care much about her baby, but she was trying to find a happy family so that her daughter will have a great life afterwards.

So, they made a deal that Juno will updated them about her pregnancy and the baby will be handed as soon after the baby was out.The plan went smoothly until one day, the husband asked the wife for divorce. At first, she was so sad as the plan seemed like it would not went as they intended. But somehow Juno was still going to continue her plan to give her baby to the wife, as she had seen how the wife acts as a mother in the mall one day back then. 

In my point of view, Juno's actions should be praised as she done the right thing. She find a good family to give her baby because she realised that she couldn't take care of the baby at the current state. This movie was very relevant as a Malaysian, because as we can see the babies problem had arose drastically lately. Rather than throwing them in the garbage, kill them in the toilet, they can make a right decision just like what Juno did. Find a suitable family to give the baby away. The baby's life will not be that dark and their life might be much better. I am so sad and disappointed watching how the babies were treated, as they were the culprit of the parents' sin. May Allah protect us from all of those state.

Btw I love Ellen Page so much!!!

Isn't she too pretty and cool in some way???

Vocabulary session

1. Stride (to walk with very long steps)

2. Lest (for fear that. -used when you are saying something in order to prevent something from happening)

- Joe was hesitant to speak the truth to the police lest he be killed.

3. Whetstone (a stone used for sharpening knives, blades, etc)

- The whetstone was so difficult to get, as they can only be bought in the markets.

Thats all for today. Bye!

Regards,

Alia.
