Temasek Junior College u16s Invitationals (JAN)
YAY (: We emerged victors for the first time, bypassing Raffles (in the semis) and Hwa Chong (in the finals) to clinch the over-all trophy. It was a nerve-wrecking, insomnia-inducing period for us, no doubt. Hassles over blazer-borrowing, countless blisters and uniform 'dos finally culminated in that one special night. Of course, let's not forget the Preliminary Rounds which were held on a separate day, as well. Suffice to say, throughout the course of competition, we've had much help and for that, we have a few very important people to thank (: LIZ, for being a fabulous coach and helping us with our cases, sometimes despite the very ungodly hours. JEBRO, for being ever so supportive and encouraging of us. Especially when we needed it the most. MISS DONG, for being the cheeriest and most avid supporter-cum-teacher ever. MRS ONG, for overseeing our welfare (and ensuring we do not suffer from hunger pangs despite us being too distracted to eat). SUPPORTERS, for your cheers, applause, hugs and well wishes. TEAM, for always always being there :D
CCA Fair-cum-Sec1 Recruitment Drive (JAN)
Lots of people signed up to audition, much to our surprise. Goes to show debate is gaining popularity in PL. :D The good thing is, we've got lots of plans laid out this year so be prepared to get involved neck-deep! Auditions went well too. Glad to have had Samsee and Jebro both there to source out fresh talent. (: We see a lot of promise in our sec1 batch!
To any juniors who may be viewing this, we warmly welcome you to the team! Currently, as you already know, Clara is in charge of showing you the ropes. Before long, we look forward to having you train with the rest of the seniors!
p.s. Didn't you love the booth, posters, 'Get Hooked' souvenirs (Debate), pamphlets and all else? Personally, I thought it looked great. Kudos to all who chipped in (:
Julia Gabriels (FEB onwards)
That time of the year is here again! When schools nationwide convene to partake in the prestigious annual clash of wits, in a showdown of elan and elocution. For the uninitiated, JGs is The (biggest) Competition of the year because it determines each school's standing (be it A, B or C division) in the Debate Circuit. In Round One, we were pitted against Anglican High. It was a close debate (: The second round is coming up on 9 March! It's the last Friday of term1. So, if you're free, then I trust you know what to do :D
Okay, that rounds up this post (: In the meanwhile, we're scouring for a new skin. I trust Hilary will do up something, aye? (;
Till then, bye!
