Sessions on 17/02/11

There are more boys joining the session today, 3 groups are formed and each group have at least 3 boys! This is the best number of boys so far and I really hope that this number can continue on! The game that we are playing this week is easy and fun. All they have to do is Spot the differences!

As the name implies, it is to find any difference between two similar pictures. But to win this game, they have to work together and find all or highest number of the differences within 2 minutes. In almost every picture, the winner team will be given a prize, such as mentos, chocolate and biscuits. They really indulge in their rewards and share with one another. But the most challenging pictures are to spot for 24-25 differences! There are 3 pictures and they are given around 3 minutes each. It is also very tedious and stressful to count the number as we are afraid that we will count wrongly, hence, we counted repeatedly.

Why are we afraid to count wrongly? Because there is forfeit! Having seen in previous session that there is always short of time to give forfeit at the end, hence forfeit is given during the game. The team that found the lowest number of the differences will have to rely on their luck if they will have to do forfeit. What they have to do? Simple, a toy will decide! They have to poke a small knife into a little hole and see if the toy will fly out! If it does, the team will have to do forfeit. One of the team was unlucky! They get all of our forfeit! Eating wasabi and chili, but Kelvin is very kind by providing them with a 1.5 bottle of drink to wash the taste off their mouth. Another forfeit that ends the session is to sing the famous ‘home’ by Kat Chan. This is to celebrate total defence day! (:

Cheers,
Doris

Doris wrote so much le, nothing much more to say liao! Quite glad that the session could be done without actual meetups. Every people contributed their pictures and the worse job has to be 'marking' the scripts. 25 differences is big deal! Was surprised by the turnout and it definitely up the atmosphere! And i thought we should practice sportsmanship, all participants should clap for the programmers to acknowledge their effort.
