If I went back to a primary school debate today, I would be like… Thank you Mr. Chairman for granting me the chance to air out my views about the motion which is already written on the blackboard. Proposers, opposers and the audience at large. First and foremost, let me begin by saying that I […]

Do not give up on loving because someone hurt you, there are people out there who still care! Two weeks ago, I celebrated my birthday, I am a big boy now.
