12th June 2013
The day where all of the students were engulfed with the euphoric feeling mixed with the excitement of meeting their old friends again, turned out to be the most surprising day ever, when some of them figured out that they had been chosen to represent our college for 'Minggu Bahasa, Kuiz Bahasa & Sastera dan Debat MRSM Se-Malaysia 2013'. Many thanks to Madam Azizah, because she managed to select the best among us to represent the college. The competition was held at MJSC Tun Abdul Razak (TAR) Pekan, Pahang. Our team - MJSC Langkawi focused a lot in 'Bahas Ala Parlimen Bahasa Melayu' and English Parliamentary Debate more than any other competitions. They practiced for only two days and they were ready to jockey for the positions with their hearts. With the support from their friends and teachers, they were just ready for it. MJSC Langkawi sent representatives both for Malay and English debates and poem recitation.
The participants were :-
English Parliamentary Debate : -
- Syameem bt Amerudin

They started their journey at 6:40 a.m - June 12th, 2013. As they arrived at Kuala Perlis, the team from MJSC Beseri picked them up and they went straight to MJSC Kubang Pasu. After they arrived, both of the teams from MJSC Langkawi and MJSC Beseri were transferred to another bus which was MJSC Kubang Pasu's bus. Then, they went straight to MJSC Tun Abdul Razak Pekan, Pahang. Eventually, the three teams, MJSC Langkawi, MJSC Kubang Pasu and MJSC Beseri arrived Pekan at 11:45 p.m . As they arrived, they registered and went to their rooms to unpack their things. The MJSC Langkawi's team started their practice for 'Bahas' and Debate right after they unpacked their things, until 2 to 3:00 a.m.
The next day was hectic. All of the participants started were busy practicing and doing last minute. practice. Langkawi's representatives were not excluded. Bahas Ala Parlimen Bahasa Melayu took place on the same day so all the respective participants were anxious about the competition. The result was great. Through all 6 rounds, we won three and lose another three. The three winnings were against Tumpat, Pendang and Merbok. However, the other three losings made Langkawi to be excluded from competing in the final round. Well, the lucky MJSCs who were qualified to the final round were Pontian, and Pengkalan Hulu. Guess who was the winner for BAHAS? Yup! it was PENGKALAN HULU! congratulations to them for being the grand winner!
Let's move on to debate! Langkawi sent 4 talented and well-prepared debaters which are very good in speaking and rebutting points to represent the college in Language Week this time. However, the luck was not on our side. The final round was between Kuching and Pengkalan Chepa. Both of the teams were great in debating. It was hard for the judges to determine the winner for that particular round. However, they unanimously selected Kuching as the winner, and loud round of applause was heard in the hall at MJSC TAR. Lets not be sad for our lost! there is always a room for improvement before reaching perfection!
The third competition was Poem recitation. MJSC Langkawi sent a male representative named Muhammad Hafiq bin Mat Nayan who is very good in reciting poems. On that fateful night, mellow voices from the participants was dancing into the ears of the audiences. To be frank, all of the participants were very talented in poem recital, nevertheless, every competition would have a winner. Those who lost should not give up but take this opportunity to do better in the near future. MJSC Langkawi secured the third place in Poem recital and the grand winner was Grik.
On Sunday, we bid farewell to MJSC TAR. The memories will always be remembered in our minds and carved in our souls. We left MJSC TAR as soon as the closing ceremony ended which was at 3 pm. We went back by Kubang Pasu's bus, and we shared it with the participants from Beseri and Kubang Pasu. We arrived Jetty Kuala Perlis at 4.30 am and took the 7.00 am tickets. By the time we arrived at MJSC Langkawi, we were worn out so, we headed back to the hostel to get some rest.
As a conclusion, winning or losing does not even matter. What matters the most is what you have learned from the experience. Let's hope that Language Week for next year would be more awesome and enjoyable. And also let us hope that MJSC Langkawi would do better in the future! Let's aim to win next year! IN SHAA ALLAH :)
