The Unwilling Participant

right now i'm listening to Jason Mraz's Lucky, trying to calm my nerves and pretend that tomorrow isnt a big deal.

i've been chosen (cekup is more like it) to represent Zon Keramat for the Teachers' Debate. yes, you heard it right. The teachers debate. as if we dont have enough talking to do in class.

i was fuming last monday when i had to attend the briefing, just because i had already prepared the teaching materials for my Form 5 tuition at school. i do not like the idea of wasting time doing something that is pointless.

the teachers in my team are of the same sentiment. beside us is the BM team who, shall we say, very enthusiastic to win? while we are debating only for the sake of participating, we don't want to win. don't get me wrong. it's not that we're that bad. we just don't want to waste our precious time discussing points at some other school when we can be teaching in class.

and so tomorrow morning i've to plaster a plastic smile on my face and try not to do the best.
