HKUEDT Superpass Dinner Dec 2004

HKU ENGLISH DEBATING TEAM

GENGGUO FAN

(Super Pass Dinner)


I've
been meaning to update with news on HKIPDC and the team, but I don't have the pics now. So I'll wait until later. Here is an old post.
(I realised that I put "Steph" instead of "Stef" in one of them. LOL)



Super Pass Dinner (Gengguo Fan) is a traditional HKU (University of Hong Kong) dinner organized by and for various groups of students.

The purpose is to wish each other luck, to "gengguo" (super pass), which means to get a GPA OVER 3.0 on a scale of 4.0 (highest)

Traditionally, a suckling pig or a watermelon is chopped into pieces. One needs to use one strike to go through the entire piece to "superpass". If it doesn't go through keep your hand there and your friends will help you.

There are other traditions, such as writing messages on Chinese red paper and some "leaders" giving licee (red packets w/ money inside) with HKD 1.3. inside.  ONE (yat) sounds like "NEED/MUST" and THREE pertains to 3.0.

JUDC (HKU vs. LU)

Joint-Universities Debating Competition

(HKU vs. LU)



I promise more photos and accounts of the summer,etc... but here is the first wave... or shall I say splash, as for some reason... I didn't take 10000000 photos on that day.

We won by a small margin, which we are attributing to the inexperienced adjudicators. Nonetheless, we recognise that there is no room for complacency and thus have pinpointed some things that we could work on.




1st Row (Left to Right): Le-Shan, Godric, Donna, Winnie, Pulcheria, Me (looking as stupid as ever.. should've worn the pants!), Shannie, Mei Ling, Jeremy and Linda
2nd Row (Left to Right): Elton, Cynthia, Sarah, William (being covered by my big head), Dorothy, Tim (being covered by Shannie's big head), Albert,  invisible Rachel  and JC (who were there but for some reason, are not in the pic)


Kick ass stage team! Shannie (Captain), Me (1st Speaker), Winnie (Adjudicator), Dorothy (2nd Speaker), Godric (3rd Speaker)... no, we didn't consciously line-up


Le-Shan, a.k.a. Mr Fields (in out of focus pic, *ahem*nudges Winnie*), talking about cookies...
