I WIN THE "PIK PAK BOOM" GAME ^_^

Today I am very satisfied with my performance in the HC class. I think I did my best in concentrating my attention, and thanks to my group mates Iris and Grace, we cooperated well.

I think the most important thing in this game is to concentrate the mind. Every member have to pay all the attention to others. The one who said ''pik" should listen carefully whether there is any one calling the group number. Also, the second person who said "pak" have to say the word in a right way. It cannot be too quick, or it may appear before the "pik". It also can not be too slow. Besides, the last person holds a significant position, he or she have to listen and at the same time think about the group number. Thus, any member's being absent-minded might cause the failure of the task. Concentration is the key to win the game.

The second thing that I want to mention is self control in this game. The most challenged part is the funny of the game. When the game is continue, there is always something makes me want to laugh. It is a lot of fun, and most people are laughing. I also want to laugh, and so as my group mates. But we realize that laughing are easy to distract. Therefore even though others are laughing or laughing at us, we just forget things outside and focus on the game. We control and force ourselves to listen carefully instead of laugh. I think this plays an important role in our good performance.

Last but not least, the most impressing part is trust among my group mates and me. In the whole process, I am the one who say "pik" and Grace says "pak", Iris says "boom". Grace just ignore everything but put all her attention on me. She only says "pak" after I say "pik". She never think or worry about whether I would miss the other groups call. This made her concentrate better. She trusts me totally. And so does Iris. Whatever happening, she just notice whether Grace says "pak", she just reflects to Grace.

I like this game because I do well in this game. And I think concentration is also important in many aspects in my daily life. When I doing something, I should not be easy-pushing or distract by other things. It is much easier to succeed if we spent no effort to doing one thing and control our minds to focus on the thing.

HC WORKSHOPS

This week, we HC students held our workshops to UMAC students. This is the first time that we organize a activity to serve the larger community since the establishment of the HC. I am so proud of both IF and CAN team. Congratulations!

I was in the IF team led by James and Ida. My role in the team was Purple's leader, and Doreen is my partner. In my group, there are 4 girl and a handsome boy. I was a little bit pressured because all the Year 1 students there seemed intelligent, hardworking, enthusiastic and outstanding. Besides, they speak fluently English. They were interested in HC very much and kept asking about our life in HC. They raised so many questions that I can feel how eager they are to know HC and under HC. When I told them that my life in HC is enriched and colorful, they said how they wish that they could admitted by the HC. I encouraged them, and we changed MSN. In the next days I receive a lot of messages asking about HC and the application of HC. I like to give these year1 students advice, and I hope all of them have a chance to be a member of HC.

Organizing the workshop is a impressing experience. Not only did I learn how to cooperate with a lot of people, but also I understand how honorable I am as a member of HC. Sometimes I complained that HC is a burden. I have more things to do than others, and I have to go to class when my friends are having fun. But now I think how stupid I was. There are so many people who want to enter the HC but they do not have the chance. In their mind, I am definitely a lucky girl, but I do not value it. I learnt a lot from our customers in the workshop, they are enlightening.

I also went to the CAN workshop, that is a different type from ours. In the IF, we have many games and activities, and the CAN team seems more focus on the theory part. What ever, both the workshops are successful. I am so proud of you guys!
