Ressurected!!!
I am so BORED!!!! That I had nothing to blog about these past few days.
Maybe its just becos I'm lazy. And too lazy to blog is a sign of procrastination, and I'm just procrastinating. So I'm going to sit down here for 1 and a half hour before going to get my results and blog something... anything!!!
Actually, I'm gonna ask around about what is there to blog about...
Ok... maybe a quick update of this fakduplife.
I'm now doing my selective and unfortunately, I am landed with Travel Medicine... which is like so boring. I think the most interesting lecture was the diving lecture, and the rest... well let's just said I rather be doing something else. But in a way, I am also lucky cos the time table is really relax... leaving a lot of time for trips to cinemas, to Lumut/Pangkor, to Tioman, to Redang and what nots. And another good thing is good friends are in with me. There is Richard, Sheena, Grace, Jody, Shieh Ning, Ken Lin... the list is long... real long. Then again I am also unlucky cos travel medicine happened to be a killer exam. Ekk!!
Ok, enuff of updates on selective, let's get on to more interesting things...
Argh... there is nothing to blog about. Since coming back from KKB (ie last post), I have done almost nothing interesting.
Monash Enviromental Debate.
Shit, I'm an AIDA 1 adjudicator and they anggap me as trainee. What the hell??
Australasian style, the most boring and dumbest of all debate style. No POIs, fucking EIGHT minute speeches and a dumb chair to boot.
There's this guy who was chair and he was like going on and on about something when he is not supposed to be doing I am so tempted to ask him "Have you adjudicated outside Monash???" I'm not going to bother with asking has he adjudicated outside M'sia. Just as he ever adjudicated outside Monash. He was that bad.
Adjudicated my first definition challenge debate, and it was ugly, really ugly. The motion "THBT the tiger should fall so that man can stand longer". Gov defined the tiger as the Amazon forest and the debate would be about how a small part of the amazon forest should be sacrificed for the better good of men.
But then the Opp came up and challenged the definition. They defined the tiger as the literal panthera tigris, big cat with stripes, and man can stand longer defined as the man's erection can stand longer. They will debate on tiger's penis as aphrosidiacs.
Tai Chi and the Form.
Found out I am way way late and so so behind the rest in the Form. Check out my instructor's blog on Tai Chi. I know, I know, some people find it surprising that I even took up Tai Chi, but since my dad is doing Qi Gong, thought that I would be cool if I take up Tai Chi.
Dr. Tim said Tai Chi can increase stamina. And I had to agree. Big wonder eh, a slow moving martial art can actually increase stamina which normal people will jog to increase. But I realise that I now can play longer games of futsal without tiring out so much and I have only been doing Tai Chi, nothing else.
Jody's Bday.
1st of July, Jody's Bday and we had a party in his house. Nothing interesting happened, just the awkwardness of ex-es meeting and awkwardness of the new gf meeting the old gf. That was hilarious to watch tho.
I think the best part was the friend bashing time. We were taking turns bashing this friend big time. Well, we are all friends. So we are just being frank. Here are a few things this friend was called:
flamboyant
think highly of itself
narcissist
overbearing
In short, arrogant.
Guess who?
Book Quiz
Took a book quiz here. This is my results.
You're Animal Farm!
by George Orwell
You are living proof that power corrupts and whoever leads you will
become just as bad as the past leaders. You're quite conflicted about this emotionally
and waver from hopelessly idealistic to tragically jaded. Ultimately, you know you can't
trust pigs. Your best moments are when you're down on all fours.

Living proof that power corrupts... that's quite true, haha... and the only person that can lead me is MYSELF. I am not hopeless idealistic and tragically jaded. I'm just ME. Your best moments are when you're down on all fours just sound damnit wrong. Haha.
I think that is roughly interesting events that took place in my life. And the happening thing on my blog right now is in the comments box, all the chaos started by my good friend, Raymond Ng. Check out the comment box of the last post... you'll find this interesting conversation between 2 people who is talking about 1 girl and these 2 people know what they were talking about while the girl when joined in the conversation, has totally no idea what these two is babbling about.
And thus ensued this really funny conversation.
And the other thing is the 'Medical Survey' I am doing, and no one seemed to be answering it. It has been on for about 2 months, and I have not even achieved the goal of 50 girls... and that is just so sad, knowing that there are definitely more girls than that among my friends...
Or maybe the poll is too confusing for some people. Being in Community Medicine, doing up a questionaire was part of the syllabus... and I was taught that the questions of a questionaire must follow certain guidelines. Like:
Is the question understood and well-defined? Is the language simple and direct?
Well... the question in this case is "Do you masturbate?" How direct can it get, it has only 3 words!!! Ok,ok, let's just please some people and define masturbate.
Masturbate : The act of pleasuring oneself sexually.
Done.
Are the answers clear and answers the question to the point?
Ok, the answers are "yes" and "no". How tough is that? You either masturbate, or you don't. Sheesh!!!
Is intrusion of privacy necessary for the survey?
Look here, the survey is about female masturbation. The survey alone intrudes privacy. But it's pretty private... no ones knows who answers what... tho I do know the first few people who replied... hehe...
Things covered, i see no reason of no one answering this survey. Please girls... bring friends to answer, direct them to the site to answer. The deadline is soon... need to prepare report leh...
Now I've cleared up what ever interesting thing that is happening in my blog, I'll list down things to look forward too...
Trip to Lumut Naval Base as part of Military Medicine Project. Sounds interesting eh? Wonder what will we see there. 2 cars are going, leaving IMU at bloody 6 in the morning. It's a 4-hour journey, and it's gonna be a long long drive...
Trip to Tioman. I never knew planning a dive could be so exhausting and tough. But it's gonna be worth it. It'll cost us RM116 for transportation, and another RM100 for food and equipment rental for those snorkellers and still have plenty to spare. Accomodation? Berjaya Tioman Resort and for free. Nothing can beat that man.
And dives... can not forget the dives!!!
Trip to Seremban for a debate session between seniors (Year 4 students) and juniors (us). It is funny how they challenged us to ONE, UNO, YI, 1 debate and the motion has already been decided.
"TH will remove Terri Schiavo's feeding tube."
For those people who do not follow the news, check out here, or just google her name. Simply put, Schiavo is this lady who was in coma for 15 years and it became a case for the Supreme Court when the husband wanted her feeding tube to be remove, but the parents wanted her to remain alive.
Not only the motion has been decided, they even decided which side to choose. Kononnya, they are doing us a favour by doing that.
"Tell them WE are used to prepping half an hour before the debate." - Elena.
And they tell us that it should not only base of facts, but manner comes into play too. Guess they forgot that they were talking to INTERNATIONAL debaters each with AIDA 1 certification, INTERNATIONAL recognition. Bah!
It's going to be in Asian style - because British Parliamentary style takes too long. Asian has 3 speakers each team, while BP has 4 speakers each team... but they either FORGOT or DO NOT KNOW that in Asian you have the Reply Speech, so basically, you still have to listen 4 speeches per team.
And to add to that, they do not know what a Point Of Information (POI) is. The basic of all debates, a POI is when speakers from the opposing team stands to give a Point of Information. And they do not even know that!!!
"Should we go early to give them a briefing on HOW TO DEBATE before we actually debate?" - Elena
And guess what? Their adjudication panel consists of 3 lecturers from the Seremban side, which means, those lecturers will be bias towards them.
"We don't really care about unfairness." - Sheena.
Yeah right!!
"Do they even know how to adjudicate? I'm AIDA 1, I can do it for them." - Elena.
Basically by challenging us, they just do not their limits. Can't wait to watch OUR team trash them. MWAHAHAHAH!!! And we and the supporters are going to wear our AUDC T-shirts to show them that we are INTERNATIONAL debaters. Have they even debated before???
I think that is enough updates for now. It's 2.00... time to get my results. Wish me luck!!!
