Debate
In about 4 hours, the semi-final debate match where we are going to fight against ADC will take place.

In the past one or two weeks, our CCF debators have been making their best effort in preparing for this match. Mandy, Maggie, Hans and Tina. I was in the last two meetings with them. It's true that we won't truly understand something until we experience it ourselves. I am not saying that, I fully understand now how much time and effort and how much heart our debators have poured out for every single match, cuz I have never been a debater myself. But I do have a bit to share after being a fan, a supporter all along. =P

First of all, I am really grateful that ADC invited us CCF to participate in this debate tournament. Through this wonderful experience, we learned as individuals and more importantly as a team. So once again, thank you Dear Friends ADC (esp Clement for giving us the inspiring talk at the very beginning.) Another special thanks to Hans who is the coach of our CCF debate team; without Hans, we wouldn't even know where to start. Then, I have to give all my cheers to our CCF debate team (whoever have been on the team.. there are quite many.... like 12? haha.. as well as those who have help and support the team.) Yeah!!! =D

Debators, I see you guys struggle. I see you go through ups and downs. We share them. There are times of inspirations and sparks, confidence, joyfulness (joyful tears) ... there are times of disappointments, discouragments, frustrations and fear.... However, there are always times of Trust, support and love within us. There is ... always ... Passion!

Trudi ar Trudi, I really don't know what to say about you. You let me understand what debate can be. It's not only a sports not only a game not only a competition about talent of speech or arguments. It's an art. It's an art of language and wisdom and more. There is so much to debate and so much it can bring, but first of all, we need to love it and embrace the essence of it. (Hope I am less an outsider now. =P)

Maggie ar Maggie, I am always amazed by your sincerity, by your courage. We all see great potential in you! Keep on going!!! If you ever feel tired and wanna a rest, here's home. :)

Mandy, haha.... you always surprise me with your hidden talents. There's still a lot I don't know about you. But one I believe with no doubt is you need more sleep. Though we all think your "Eye bags" is the most attractive part of you. haha... kidding =P

Also, Erico, Kent, Sylvia and Vicent, *Take a 180 degree bow 此致敬禮，it's hard to step out of our comfort zones and you guys are among the pioneers!!! ~ *Whistling

Now, those to be debators and debator gonna show up first time today Tina, Arnold and dk... Hey, I am anticipating your great performance! Add oil! haha...

I am proud of you all!!! ;)
