Past, Present and Future

It's the middle of the week, and we've had debate behind us, debate on our minds right now (at least, that's what Mr. Anandraj would like to have us think) and debate in front of us. Just on Monday our school sent in two IB-Level teams to participate in the NUS Policy Debates.

Our team comprising of Zhen He, Desmond/Koon Peng, Ben Teo and Chris Yuen (not in speaking order) debated the motion:
THW allow organ donors to receive compensation

Our team comprising of Shoba, Alyssa, Matthew and Luu (also not in speaking order) debated the motion:
This House will abolish the opt-out system of the Human Organ Transplant Act

We lost both rounds. =)

But really, I personally got to hand it to you guys who debated. You've been in debate for like, what, two months? And already you're participating in competitions. And of course it's your first time debating, don't feel too bad that you've lost. Of course we'd have loved for you to win (Marc Complex) but really, you guys did well. Seriously. That's what the people at the top (aka Marc and Mr. Wong) say.

But for this Friday, we have our JG Team debating against CHIJ Katong Convent! The motion is:
THW make environmental protection a condition for recieving development aid

WE'RE PRACTISING HARD!!! And for this match, we need to win! We must win! So let's raise a ruckus and tear KC down! Okay.. That was rather Spartanistic of me... Meh, but you get the gist anyway. =P

Pics of members coming soon. I now need personal info from each of them.. Don't worry guys, I'll try to put not-so-bad pictures of you up here. =)))
