The last of the three Preliminary Rounds for the debating competition was held today at Paya Lebar Methodist Girls' School. We were against Westwood Secondary School, which was the Proposition, and the motion was "This House believes that teenagers should be tried as adults for criminal offences." The moment the first speaker of the Proposition started her speech, I knew we would win; they made better speakers than debaters, and they limited their case to only a specific case study (i.e. America). We eventually won the debate.

During the long wait to the release of the Preliminary Rounds results (i.e. who would qualify for Quarter Finals), we went to an 'A' Division Debate between Catholic High and Chinese High. After that debate, we hung around in the canteen before heading into the school hall for the results.

We won two of the three rounds and had a very small chance of entering the Quarter Finals. Alas, we did not manage to repeat the feat we did last year. Eventually all of us went home, me by MRT.
