the war of words....

words. they were our weapon of defense and attack during this war. Against an elite school, we the humble mewahans went. the battle ground set in favour of the enemy. where they knew the tricks and shortcuts; strategies to make us look like fools. but we were not scared for we were to speak the truth and nothing but the whole truth.

arguments began. we stated the truth, we were humble but feisty. we were civilised. the evil dirty tricks from the enemy tried to trip us but failed. the cunning laughs and exaggerated hand gestures made them appear more like politicians. they had nothing though. words with not even a strand of relevance were thrown . the crowd went crazy over it. they were cheering for the enemy for it was their homeland.

we did not give up. we knew that they were only armed with eloquence. besides what could we expect from someone who ties his shoelace on a chair during the war. the sword of accent was there but was not used in the right manner. they tried twisting and turning but sadly , they were the ones who got twisted. they went against their own soldiers, they laughed, smiled but they were not aware that the war was not over yet.

we brought out secret weapons and that confused the intellectually-challenged enemy. they ran from the war, in fear that we might beat them. they were like donkeys running off, with their fear-stricken eyes. they were not man enough to accept the truth. they lied and tried misleading us. but we were not misled. however, the others who watched were.

the arguments ended. the war of words was done with. now for the evaluation. an elite school against the humble mewahans. they were like giants. they appeared big, but if looked closer you would realise that they had peas for brains. the evaluation went on. the aspects we were judged on, which side was bigger, who looked better, who was fairer. they were too scared to go against the giants as they might crush them.

they gave the win to the enemy but we knew who were the real winners. we walked out of there with dignity. unfair, sure, injustice, definitely, but what can we do? we are just the humble mewahans.

It's okay Ara. You guys did your best. There's no dignity in winning by dirty tricks and cheats. They have shown they have no pride in real work. But only in putting down the opposition. When in truth, they are only putting themselves in a bad light. Leave them be. One day, we Mewahans will show them who's BOSS XD

'the pure versus the polluted'
'the virgin oil versus the adulterated'
that comes to my mind as i hear of the so called debate
it s sad to see what should be a good hearty healthy debate turn into a ...fracas like those in many parliaments or a drama by politician-wannabes.
judges are no better- what are they looking for ?
are their hands tied? i doubt.
be not dismayed Ara and team!
stay true to the pure unadulterated debating spirit
no need to come up with underhand lethal weapons like theirs
goes against your grain
let them revel in their apparent success
what happens to nilai-nilai murni??
the mewahan achievement gets a big pat on the back from me!!
stay true and pure debaters!! syabas!!
