Life is not that fair.

Well, today, it's the end of our debate task. We lost to SMK Methodist. However, I am proud of me and my team as I know that we were better, but just due to the judges, they select the winner.
Factors:
1)that school changed the topic by adding inverted comas. We saw a gal asking the chairperson to add inverted comas at the title. Then they used it as an advantage.
The topic was Peer Factor is the cause of teenage problems and they changed it to "peer factor" is the cause of teenage problems. While, we, do not know whether it is there or not, as our school was the only school which got the topic two days before! Other schools got a week before! Sucks right?
How could they organise an event like this, and didnt the judges know that the topic written on the board is not right??? Btw, we couldnt know as we got the topic through phone!
2) The Methodist ppl brought a bus of supporters clapping to every point they say which actually does not hold water! For example, whenever We say something, they always say that they agree. Well, it means that They still agree to what we have said!!
In addition, we didnt mentioned certain things, and they said that we mentioned it.
I really do not understand how blind the judges were.
3)are the judges deaf?? It is very obvious that they were just crapping away on the same points, and they say that we are crapping! WHaT THE **********!!
4)Other than that, the 2nd speaker bang the table at me!! She should be penalised for her impoliteness!!
SO, we lost today, but still I believe that no matter what, they will not go far, as they are using this type of method to win. Especially about the inverted comas!!! They just add it to make their points valid! But actually their points are not strong without these inverted comas! ANd when I mentioned this to the judges, they said too late d.

Well, Nvm...I will accept this as a challenge. THey looked confident eventhough they were crappping, guess thats how BMHigh lost to them too, as we tought that if they can win Bm high, they should be really good as Bm HIgh won Jit sin. But when we were against them, I actually had confidence that we will win. Now I know why BmHigh lost to them, Due to their "clean ways" and also their confidence. You can say that despite the odds against us, we were equally good. However, its the judges preference. Seems that the judges prefer confidence rather than substance!

They may win, as Life is not that fair. I do not mind losing to a stronger team but unfortunately we lose to a team which 'play too clean'!
You may say that It is because I have lost, thats why I am complaining(acting as sour grapes), However, God knows who's right, I am sure. I won't mind losing to a team good as Chung Ling, rather to a Team which use that method to win!

HOWever, I realised that If I am very very very good in something, I do not need to cheat in order to win, because ppl will have no say. SO, This is an agreement between me and god. I will not cheat, but I work hard to be the best, so that 'Dirty methods' will also lose to my abilities!
I have learnt a lot through this as I now realise that if u play dirty, u may win and get to a certain stage, HOwever, if u are way way way more better, then u do not need to be scared as God will side you.

Conclusion, DO not cheat no matter what and accept everything as a challenge. Be truthful to yourself in order to pertain success.
