Well...
Idk what to say about today...
Alright,
I know you all are angry and frustrated now...
But do hear me out before you close the window.
Before anything,
I want to say that no one is right and no one is wrong today.
Idk about the others but this is how I feel.
I don't want to also talk about those attitude problem or whatever
that they had said just now.
I just want to say that I understand the fact that we are debaters.
It is impossible for us to not speak our minds,
but before you say anything,
or before you do anything,
think about the consequences and the people around you who will be affected.
Maybe you all might say this is our freedom to say or do anything we want,
but think about it this way.
We are one big family,
and by thinking of others before you do or say anything,
is showing respect to one another.
I am sure everyone wants to be treated with respect.
Also, I also understand that many of us is unhappy because of the frustration
everyone is venting on us.
But think again,
we need to understand that everyone has feelings,
and many of us can't control our feelings.
Everyone had a long day before this,
and we will sure to get frustrated over things.
But learn to care for each other's feelings,
only when we know how to care for one another,
can teamwork really work.
And debate is about teamwork isn't it?
I also understand that you all do feel very stressed up by the things we have to do and prepare. But 'no pain, no gain.'
Everyone have to put in effort in order for things to work out,
and this is teamwork.
Also,
I can understand that some of us is 'accused' of being not serious when we joke around.
I understand that you all will be very unhappy after that,
and the atmosphere will be so awkward if there is practically no jokes at all.
But sometimes,
we just have to understand that we need to get things done.
But if you really feel very upset or unhappy about things that happened in debate,
feel free to thrash things out,
because only by speaking our minds,
can we really solve the problem.
Everyone has different opinions on something,
and by sharing your opinions,
it will help others to understand how you feel,
and communication is very important for a cca to work.
Also,
when you feel very frustrated over anything about debate,
just think of the fun times we shared,
and you can solve the problem! :D
Alright,
I know I am very naggy,
but this is basically what I thought of during my way back home.
Hope this will help in sorting out your thoughts. :D
Also,
if any of you wants to quit debate,
please give it a second thought,
because we love you guys lots! :D
And... I really think that no one is right or wrong today.
It is just a matter of different opinions. :D
Cheer up! Come to debate with a positive mindset and you will have fun! :D

P.S. wei liang is irritating me now!!

SORRY.

2010-07-16T19:43:00.003+08:00

hello people.
let me start on a sad note.

On behalf of everyone in debate,
Edward, I'm sorry if our behaviours makes you very irritated and angry.
Sorry that we did not totally respect you, although you are our coach, you have put in a lot of efforts on us, though the school isn't paying you a single cent to do it.
Sorry that we always take you for granted. :/
I can still go on with the list of sorry, but i guess i shall just summarise what i want to say.
We are SORRY.
Please cheer up, cause we, at least some of us can feel and notice that you were already not in a good mood at the start of the debate session.
See you on Monday.

CONTINUE WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENTS AND NOTICES:
There are work being assigned by Edward.
If I'm not wrong, speakers are supposed to email Edward your nicely sort out arguments by this weekend.

There is also a TWO PAGE essay on DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY that EVERYONE has to write and hand in on 26 JULY 2010.

Regard,
Qian Hui :/

Happy Birthday, Debate~ ♥

2010-07-09T15:34:00.006+08:00

Happy First Debate Anniversary!
I still remembered that one year ago, almost about at this time,
we, the first official batch were all sitting at the NE Corner.
Edward asked for our names and asked us why we had decided to join Debate.

Time flies and it's one year already.
What have we gain from Debate in this one year?
You all may have different answers from mine, but here is what I have gained from Debate.

I gained new friendships-
I got to know more friends in my cohort and I have adorable juniors.^^
I gained new experiences-
I learnt how to debate properly, I got to debate in debate competion.
I gained wonderful memories that I would never forget-
All those fun training sessions with our coach and debaters.
For example like making me laugh so hard, the water bomb fights, the celebrating of my birthday + training at the same time, taking taxi to NCHS when we were in a rush and many more.
I gained a wonderful coach who has had taught me a lot of skills and lessons.
A coach who i will never forget.
Thanks for taking time to let me learn.

Our Debate Club is something I would never want to lose.
Our Debate Club is something that would never fail to make me smile in every training sessions.
Our Debate Club is something that I will never forget..

Maybe years later,
when all of us are still in contact,
we might start to recall the past memories,
and start saying, "I remember that time during debate, you...."

So, Happy First Debate Anniversary! :D
I look forward to seeing most of you tomorrow! ^^

Regards,
Qian Hui

continued from Rebecca's previous post,

First, like what Rebecca had said,
we would need to choose a design for our Debate Tee Shirt.
and we need everyone's help to come up with a design.
the design must either include a school crest or the chinese zhonghua word, so that we could wear it in school.
Please pass your design to either me or Rebecca.

Second, what colours do you want for the background and the fonts?

Third, please tag at the tag box!

To make things run fast enough, i hope we can come up with a debate tee shirt design by the end of August.

Thank you very much.

23 April 2010

Shermaine, Gabriella, Rebecca and i went to the coffee shop that is opposite the school at 4pm to have our "dinner". I ate cheese fries and shermaine, rebecca and i drank bubble tea. Gabriella ate her sweets that she bought in 7-11.
after that we went to the MRT station to meet Karize.
then we had a problem. O.O
I was almost worried to death.
We met Karize and Edward at Compass Point, near the Old Chang Kee(i dont know how to spell it).
Here's the cool part. We separated into two groups and we took taxi to Nan Chiau High School cause we were running out of time.

Shermaine: oh my gosh oh my gosh! he's so cute! Scott Tan is so hot!
Edward: Scott Tan is not hot, he is cute.
Me: -_- where got hot guys?

Edward: Alright, i'll introduce you all kids to him later.
Shermaine: yeah!! ^^ (shermaine was super happy!)
Rebecca camera shy!

Karize was reading a book while waiting for the competition to start.

My super unglam photo!

Our Coach, Edward~~~

still waiting for it to start..

Me: dont take picture of me!

A blur picture of Edward

debate's favourite sweet!!!!!!

Congrats to Shermaine for getting the 15th Speaker for Division Three!!!

In the end, the whole thing ended at 10pm instead of 9pm. So we did not went to see Edward's Coach, Scott Tan. We walked to a bus stop outside Nan Chiau High and we board it to Seng Kang Bus Interchange. From there, we parted ways~

Qian Hui

5 April 2010 Monday

She Bangs!

Practically this day, our coach, Edward, went through the basics of debate with us.

Here are three motions for everyone to take note of!

1. This House Would Cap and Trade. (This motion, like what Edward had said, is read for fun.)

2. This House Would Trade Organs. (This Motion is for the OLDER members of debate. Remember to prepare for this motion. You got up til next next Monday to prepare. The sec 2 members are the proposition, the sec 3 members are the opposition.

3. This House Would Ban the wearing of religious objects in public schools. (This motion is for the NEWER members who are supposed to be the proposition. In addition, the OLDER members are supposed to research on it too and be prepared to rebut the NEWER members next monday.)

Okay, the above was what Edward had said.

Yeah, i know that CCA will be suspended from 12 April to 17 May, the sec 1s and sec 2s will be having their 2.4km run on next monday, but i smsed Edward about it and asked him what he wants, but he didnt reply me! Maybe he is M.I.A.? lol.

that's all for today!!!!

Qian Hui

2010-04-01T16:34:00.001+08:00

hey guys,
dont ever give up! (:

2010-03-24T17:13:00.002+08:00

Hi hi people!
Just dropping here for a while.
By the way, the third round's motion is
"THBT casinos should not hire former youth offenders."
Two more days! :D

See ya~

Qian Hui

2010-03-06T19:36:00.009+08:00

Some words of thoughts and encouragement...

"remember, though we have won a battle, but we have not won the war.also, regarding to what edward had said, baby will learn how to walk, but baby will fall down sometimes too. though the baby may cry, but the baby will soon learn how to stop crying and try to stand up and walk again."

Does these sound familiar? These was what i said one month ago. Like what i had said one month ago, the baby may fall down at some point in time. Yes, the baby did fall down yesterday. The baby may cry when he fell down. Yes, the baby did cry yesterday. But the baby will soon learn how to stop crying and stand up and walk again.

So, guys! Though we lost the second battle, we still have the third battle to fight. Let's not give up and work harder this time.

Qian Hui

The Second Motion of the First Act

2010-02-28T15:17:00.001+08:00

Check your email today! :D

First Words of the Arbitration

2010-02-25T08:44:00.000+08:00

Dear Debaters,

hihi, thought it'd be interesting to blog, so yup! haha... first and foremost, good job to both teams for your opening matches, I'm really proud of you guys. Keep your spirits going, and be prepared to work hard for the coming week as your second round is coming next Friday. The motion will be released tommrrow, so I'll be handing out instructions from there on.

Secondly, we will be using roughly the same prep format as the previous round. When you guys see the motion on Friday, you guys will discuss the case and have the weekend to write up you cases and do your research. Email that to me by Sunday evening, such that on Monday I can give you guys constructive comments. following which, you guys and work on your speeches again and submit it to me by Tuesday, such that we can do a final cut on Wednesday and from there on would be practice and more practice, on top of me teaching you guys some stuff.

That's all I have for you guys now, though I STRONGLY RECOMMEND A MOVIE called "The Great Debaters" it's an inspirational movie, so when there's the time I'll screen it to you guys or something...

Regards,
Edward

2010-02-11T17:55:00.001+08:00

Happy Birthday to Shermaine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDD

LOVES,
Qian Hui <3

2010-02-07T15:46:00.002+08:00

hey debate members!
remember to meet at IT Special Room 3 at 7.40am tomorrow, during reading period.
also, for those speakers and reserves who had their blazers and ties, please remember to bring them tomorrow!

For the debate members who were with me last year, i guessed that you still somehow remembered the art motion incident.
Some of us would not ever forget about it,
and we might never forget the things the person said to us on that day.
So, everyone must work hard and prove the person wrong about the fact that we cant debate.
But remember, winning isnt everything, it's the experience, it's the process that matters the most.

Quoted from someone," i will forever remember what she said to us.
i will remember it forever."

Regards,
Qian Hui

2010-02-06T22:12:00.002+08:00

1st feb 2010 Monday to 4th feb 2010 thursday
we got news of our debate competition's motion.
the speakers for the debate competition was revealed.
there are two team. Team A, which is the official team.
and there is also Team B.
Team A include Leon, shermaine, rebecca, karize and me!
Team B include Hui qi, xenia, linh and giap.
everyone prepared themselves for the competition.

5th feb 2010 friday
the day had finally came!
i guessed that most of us were nervous right?
i went back to my class after my geography test.
on the way to my classroom, i saw shermaine.
i went to take my bag first, then i went to her classroom with her.
i saw that the blazers were already collected and placed in her classroom.
we practised our speeches, while rebecca, leon, giap, gabriella, linh and xenia came.
leon and i went to collect our dinner from the canteen.
finally, our debate trainer came too, but he went to ???? first.
we went to IT special room 3 first and waited outside as the room was locked!
waited til edward came, and at last,a teacher came with the key to help us unlock the room!
went in and practised.
while some relax~
edward helped us in improving our speeches and answering our questions.
and he also helped us to tie our ties. lol. thank you. (:
yeah, i agree with you guys must learn how to tie ties. you heard that, didnt you leon?
lol. okay... let me skip a few personal things.
leon, shermaine and i debated against edward, as a practised.
at 5.45pm, we ate our dinner.
the noodles was spicy~ :S
went to board the bus with mr brady at 6pm, while edward went for his mass dance, but he promised that he would come back to zhss after that.
during the bus journey, most of the speakers practised our speech.
edward called us to told team A speakers some pointers, which were really good.
reached Bedok South Seconday School.
i must say that the school is really big, much bigger than our school.
we were against Monfort secondary school.
i started getting my team and i ready for it.
i went to say my speech.
i was very nervous before the competition, but during the actual thing, it was actually much better.. it wasnt that scary as i thought.
congratulations to shermaine for getting the best speaker. (:
we went to find mr brady who was with our team B. we acted sad. haha!
we thought that mr brady knew that we didnt lose, cause we thought that ms k told him.
but in the end, we found out that he did not know that we had actually won.
haha. we told him that, when we reached ZHSS.
when we reached ZHSS, it was already 10.30pm plus.
edward was there waiting for us.
then we told him about the debate.
some of us went home.
while, ed, shermaine, rebecca, xenia, gabriella and i went to 7-11.
we bought things to eat/ drink.
xenia left first.
then ed told us that when he knew that we won, he told his friend, "My baby has finally learn how to walk!"
O.o then someone said that it make edward sounds old. haha!
okay, as it was getting pretty late already, we went home.
good job everybody!
see you next monday!
we are going to have training next monday too.
we will be watching the videos of those who spoke in the debate competition, and reflect on it.

remember, though we have won a battle, but we have not won the war.
also, regarding to what edward had said, baby will learn how to walk, but baby will fall down sometimes too. though the baby may cry, but the baby will soon learn how to stop crying and try to stand up and walk again.

that's all for tonight.

Regards,
Qian Hui

Firstly, we welcomed our new members in the drama studio!
During debate session, we started off with an ice breaker game, "Whacko'.
Tried to bond everyone up together.
I got hit on the head for several times. -.-
I wonder who was the person who did it.
Edward, our debate trainer came.
After the game, we started doing the
"This House Believes that the media is too powerful."
We were given debrief by Edward til 6pm plus.

List of new members in debate!

Giap 3E4
Linh 3E4
Phebe 1E4
Stephanie 1E4
Wei Liang 1E5
Xenia 1E4

So, we have been given a new motion by Edward.

"This House Believes that teenage love affair in school should be banned."\

There will be two Propostion and Opposition teams.

I am in one of the Opposition team.

I hope everyone knows which team they belong to and who are their group members.

We are given til next next Monday to present this motion..

Have anyone tried to go researching?

If no, tell you something.

There's actually nothing you can find in the research! O.o

I guess that this motion actually needs us to start using our brains and think.

So, jia you everyone!

Especially the new comers. :D

By the way, to the "old" existing debate members(sorry, i dont know how to say),

go and read your email! There is a email from Ms Kaur!

Await to seeing it?

Haha......

I know that i shouldnt really be typing here,

i got lots of homework to do and i still haven't wrote my debate script!! :O

But, since it's a friday(finally!), maybe i can take a rest for a while. :D

We had debate on 18th January 2010!

It was changed to 3.30pm.

Okay, so we listened to Ms Kaur, and after that we split into two groups for the motion.

Yes! I am finally in the same group as leon~~~~~~~ lol!

What was really silly was that we had to draw lots in order to spilt the secondary twos into groups.

So, I am in the Proposition team, with Leon, Rebecca and Hui Qi.

Karize, Gabiella, Joy and Shermaine are in the Opposition Team.

So, I hope everyone look forward to next Monday??

We are going to have secondary ones joining us for debate!

First we are going to play some games, which Shermaine and Leon are in charge of.

I hope that they do remember to go and think of games.

The second item we are going to have is Debate!

Debating in front of our new juniors for the first time..

Everyone must jia you! =D

Even I am scared and nervous.. -.-

Alright, see you all next Monday!

What a week!

Firstly, like most of us know,
we are going to have a new teacher in charge of Debate, Mr. Brady.
He's my history elective teacher too.

Secondly, i just found out yesterday that eldds is going to be on Mondays and Fridays this year!!!!!!!! :O
i was like "NOOOOOOOOOO!" when i knew it.
Cause Friday is the day when we all get early release.
sighs, why cant it be on Thursdays, like last time? ....

Thirdly, there's a new motion for we all to read on and find information on.
"This house believes that the media is too powerful"
The grouping will be given tomorrow.

Fourthly, there's debate training tomorrow!
Date: 18 January 2010
Venue: i dont know
Timing: 2.30pm to i dont know
Lol. Maybe Edward will send us sms later? i dont know.
Well, as for those who have SSP tomorrow, you can go right after your SSP.
As for those who have no SSP tomorrow, go at 2.30pm! :D

By the way, there's ELDDS audition tomorrow! ^^
I wonder how many new secondary ones members will we have this year.

Bye!

Pictures of Us in Debate

2009-11-13T15:21:00.000+08:00

(Taken by Zoey.)

this is a picture of leon, who took Zoey's acrylic for no reason, in debate. XP

we used this picture in the signboard we made this morning and afternoon.

wahaha! leon was not there to stop us from using it!

ahem! i was kind of unwilling to use this picture for the signboard... -.-''

it was again, taken by Zoey during the previous training session if i am not wrong,

without me knowing... O.o

(Taken by Zoey.)

Rebecca, Hui Qi and I were discussing about the signboard.

There's something funny here!

Look carefully at the picture. :p

(Taken by Edward.)
A fact learnt today, debaters are camera shy? XP

Ha ha. As you can see above, Hui Qi and Rebecca were reluctant to take a photo.

(Taken by Edward.)

In the end, they gave in..

BUT! REBECCA!!

............... She used her fringe to cover her face... -.-''

Taken by me!

As you can see, this is "ELDDS", written by Edward.

Nice right?

(taken by me)

This is written by Edward too.

Debate jia you!! =DD

hi everyone.
this is the first post of our debate blog! =D
last night our trainer (edward) last minute messaged us to come back to school for the upcoming open house.
So, today, we (me, hui qi, rebecca, zoey and joy) went back to school and thought of ideas on how to do the signboard of debate for the open house on next next monday.
Next, we went to Serangoon Central to buy the materials needed.
We spent $12.35 at the bookshop and $2 for the photos printed.
Before we headed back to school, we went to mac to grab a bite.
After that, we went back to school.
Edward helped us to write the beautiful headings for "ELDDS" and "Debate",
then he went off. LOL!
The rest of us pasted the pictures and coloured papers on the cardboard and wrote
captions for the photos.
As we wanted to write a blog link on the cardboard, that is WHY, we created this blog,
just for this reason.... -.-''
never mind, i or we will be blogging soon! =D
hope we don't forget the blog link and the password! *omg!*
okay! bye!
