Am relieved, Eldest will be going after all to the Finals of the National Level Debate Competition otherwise known as the Prime Minister's Trophy or Piala Perdana Menteri in Malay. The competition will be held in Kuala Terengganu end of this month.
The Debate teacher called yesterday to inform that the "technicalities" which had earlier prevented eldest's participation have been resolved. Was also asked to book a return flight for eldest which will be subsidised by the PTA. Apparently, flight arrangements have already been made for the rest of the team.
Kids nowadays are so lucky. During the 80s, my team travelled to PPM competitions in the "infamous" 3-ton trucks and stayed at lest than kosher barracks facilities. Despite the perceived handicap we still won the English Debate and Basketball events in 1987 whilst the Malay Debate team made it to the Quarter Finals - Beat that Eldest....... You and Your College have 2 attempts / years to try.
