Normally it takes around 5 classes, depending on your progress and if you feel ready, before going to advanced level of learning. Any beginner who finished beginner course may be invited to join my mahjong club where you will have a group of learners to practise and play with. The exact location to meet will be advised later. Each spot costs $310(including fee and venue rental, and one non alcoholic drink) REQUIREMENTS : 1. As we need to book the tables in advance, anyone who signed up needs to *confirm spot with payment no later than 13 Feb 2026*.

The payment is non-refundable for whatever reason, unless otherwise stated. 3. We aim at having 2 tables, 4 players each(not including teacher). If at the end we have more than 4 but fewer than 8 people, we will refund to those paid beyond 4 in order. Any payments beyond 8 spots will also be refunded. 4. As we need at least 4 people to form a table and do the game, in order to be fair to all players, no late arrival or early leave please. 5. In order to be fair to all players, English speaking in the game is required. 6. If you want to bring any guest not registered, please agree with the host first, as we need to control the number of players and people the venue can accommodate. No extra chair will be available for the guest though. 7. Any person "no show" or do not follow all the requirements here will be removed from this group. 8. If your guest(s) is "no show" or does not follow all the requirements here, you will also be removed from this group. We recommend your guest(s) to sign up himself/herself. 9.

🐣《內向小雞的福音》 從前，在一座不太熱鬧的農場裡，住著一隻叫小米的小雞。牠不愛在人群中跳舞，也不喜歡參加雞圈裡的鬥嘴比賽。每天，大部分的時間，小米都靜靜地坐在角落，看著雲飄，看著風走，看著其他小雞嘰嘰喳喳地跑來跑去。 有些雞覺得牠怪異，有些雞說牠冷淡，也有一些雞直接忘了牠的存在。小米不是沒聽見那些話，只是牠把這些聲音收進心裡，像收進一個沒有回音的盒子裡，讓它們靜靜地沉下去。 但其實，小米的世界一點也不小。 牠會記住每一場雨開始落下的聲音，也會在每次黃昏時分，看著太陽怎麼一點一點染紅田野。牠知道哪一棵樹下有最柔軟的泥土，知道哪一隻小鴨最近心情不好，也知道農夫每天早晨喝的不是咖啡，而是溫牛奶加蜂蜜。 牠沒說出來，不代表牠沒感覺。牠只是習慣了用安靜的方式，擁抱這個世界。 有一天，農場辦了一場「誰是最有趣的小雞」比賽。其他小雞爭先恐後地表演唱歌跳舞、模仿貓叫、講冷笑話。全場笑聲不斷。小米在角落，看著，笑了下，沒打算參加。 就在比賽快結束時，天空突然下起了雨，場地一片混亂，大家四處奔逃。這時，小米慢慢地走向中央，抬頭看了一眼天，然後輕聲說道：「這場雨，會在七分鐘後停。你們不用怕。」 大家停下來，看著牠。 七分鐘後，雨真的停了。 從那天起，其他小雞開始注意到這隻安靜的小雞。牠不擅長表演，但牠知道天氣、懂得觀察，也從不打擾別人。牠不搶風頭，但牠總是在每個需要的時候，剛剛好地出現。 小米沒變得多話，也沒變得喧鬧。牠還是那隻坐在角落的小雞。但奇妙的是，那個角落，開始有其他小雞坐下來了。有的只是想靜靜，有的只是想有人可以不說話地陪著。 🐤 給所有內向的小雞： 你不需要變得外向，才值得被喜歡。 你不需要大聲說話，才有存在的重量。 你靜靜地在，就已經足夠美好。 這世界，其實一直在等你，用你的方式，發光。

Reading is important because it develops your mind and gives you excessive knowledge and lessons of life. 開卷有益！大家最近有冇讀到一啲好書呢？不如出黎分享下讀書心得呀？參加呢個讀書活動，分享好書，分享喜悅。😊 有興趣參加可以WhatsApp我：95182994

## **Communications** *Talking, texting, typing — the choreography of staying connected.* This week, the focus is on **how people communicate in public** — phones, gestures, conversations, glances, and distractions. We’re surrounded by it: * Heads tilted toward screens * People talking, laughing, deciding * Fingers tapping out messages * Cables dangling from pockets * Video calls on sidewalks * Loud Bluetooth conversations no one asked to overhear * Quiet moments of connection—or isolation—in a crowd Let’s photograph **what communication looks like today**, out on the street. Person to person, person to device, person to the world. *** ### What to Look For: * **People mid-call** — expressive gestures, facial tension, pacing * **Texting and typing** — heads down, thumbs moving, lost in thought * **Groups talking** — animated, laughing, arguing, leaning in * **This isn't just phone** — its about people sharing ideas, jokes, decisions and commentary * **One-sided conversations** — people speaking into the air via earbuds * **Body language** — implications to the person nearby, or hardware device; posture shaped by headphones, screens, or social cues * **Solo moments** — someone sitting alone, preoccupied with their screen This is about **motion, emotion, and connection and disconnection** — how we communicate *with, without*, or *through* devices *** ### Approach & Style Ideas: * Shoot **fast** — gestures and expressions come and go quickly * Use a **longer lens** if you want to keep distance * Or go **wide and close** to emphasize context and contrast * Try **candid street portraits** of people mid-gesture * Look for **layers** — someone talking in the foreground, someone texting in the back * Play with **reflection** — phones in windows, faces in screens * Go for **motion blur** if it helps tell the story of urgency or distraction *** ### Why This Matters: We’re all constantly communicating — but often, we’re not really *present*. This assignment is a way to document the **modern rituals of connection** — or perhaps, **disconnection**. It’s a chance to photograph the **little human dramas** happening everywhere: the argument on or off the phone, the joke shared, the waiting, the searching, the scrolling. *** ### Meet-Up Details: **Start:** 2:30 PM **Location:** Mong Kok MTR Exit D3, street level, by the phone booth—how appropriate! **Debrief:** 4:00 PM at Couch Club (subject to change). G/F T.O.P. Building, 700 Nathan Road, Mong Kok. Let’s talk about what we saw — and what people *didn’t* see, while staring into their screens. *** ### After the Walk: Post up to **5-7 images** that capture **communication in action** — or in absence. Look for **emotion, contrast, and expression**. What does it look like when people are reaching out — and what does it look like when they’re not? COMMENT on your fellow photographers work. Constructive criticism is welcome, but the idea is to be involved.
