Being the old chap in debate society

Three weeks from now, I’m going to be occupied with a lot of stuff. ACCA exam is coming in no time (December), I have trials in 2 weeks time and on top of everything, I have to struggle for selections to OxBridge IVs and Worlds. I just don’t know.

I felt, our debating society has evolved to the next level. Is that the case? Zero bias selections, run by professional, senior-junior now on par….Really? Nevertheless my junior debaters are really good. At least given the time frame, they are relatively young in debating world and manage to beat a lot of age old seniors. What does that mean? Seniors are going obsolete? We’re lack of effort to improve our selves? Complacency? Or these juniors are gifted with the talents?.....lucky bastards! I just feel that I’m getting old for debates. Wonder how Hafiedz (5-6 years) or Praba(I bet 2004 is his 12th years) or James Bitangga (the last time I heard 9 years) cope with it…..They say old debaters never dies. They just turn out to be lousy adjudicators.
Whatever it is, I’m going to make sure I’m going……..They are going to have a lot of trouble if I don’t go…..because then they would need to know the red tapes in bendahari office and all the messy administrative matters. Some leverage.....
