Happy campers

Why lateness is good.

- My topic for the 'Opening Lines' exercise, given to me by Loke

"Mister speaker sir, between the two of us, we know that punctuality is overrated. It's what you expect, but essentially, nothing special. Lateness, on the other hand, involves waiting, which denotes focused anticipation. Just like a delayed period always manages to command the attention of people, especially that of men. Just like a pregnant pause. It is a signal of something important gestating, and is why we should really take our time to come."

What a way for the three-day TPJC Debate Camp to begin; with irreverence and some of the coolest students I've co-trained. Of course, more highly inappropriate speeches followed, but I'll claim no merit for them. ;) A little knowledge may be dangerous, but a potent dose of education goes a long way. I think I might be a role model. *gasp*

Slick Nick, Chee Keen (you're lucky I haven't started playing fowl with the pronunciation of your name), HRH Princess Farah, Daryl "I'm too hot to handle" Ooi, Daniel "OH MY GOD I FORGOT TO USE MY PREAMBLE" Selvakumar, Jana, Justine, Sin Nee, Angela The Whack, Zhi Jun, and Johann/Yaohan, you were fantastic! Not to mention Hewlens and Anthony, for the barrel of laughs you both provided.

At the end of the day, I must confess that I loved every moment, and you're all friends to me now. No fallacy to this statement. ;)
