陈奕泓再度获奖为本校争光

8月9日讯,本校的陈奕泓同学成功横扫全槟韵律操学联赛初中组的四项(球、圈、绳、棒)奖牌——二金二银。本校籍机为陈奕泓同学送上满满的道贺,褒扬她过人的成就及贡献,大大地提升了本校的名誉。此外,陈奕泓同学也获得了全场总冠军的殊荣,本校对此喜讯感到无比的骄傲。至此,韩中诞生了一名为校争光的‘韵律操女神’。
来自本校J31班的陈奕泓同学是位来自北海的勤奋学子。陈奕泓同学表示,当时因哥哥周末会到槟岛上科学班,因此为了不浪费时间,母亲替自己报名了韵律操这项运动课程。正巧自己也对这方面感兴趣,就把韵律操视为课余兴趣参与。那时的陈奕泓同学只年仅6岁,而如今已是迈入体操项目的第九年。
起初在韵律操这方面,陈同学并没有抱有任何出赛或获奖的期望,只是当作培养一种兴趣的心态去学习,没曾想如今能够获得如此杰出的成就。在训练过程中难免会遇上困难和挫折,受伤更是无法避免的,尤其是训练技巧都需要极大的耐心和时间才能完成。不过,陈同学透露,最大的难点在于她无法确定自己能否将训练时的状态百分百地带上赛场从分发挥。因此,她也常会在比赛中发生一些失误。但是,她坚信只要调整好情绪并付诸努力和专注力,就能够克服困难。
当时陈奕泓同学想要参加此次的韵律操比赛的原因是,她一直都抱持着无论输赢,享受过程永远才是更为重要的。特别是在经历这两年的疫情后,她愈加珍惜每次出赛的机会。所以,当出赛机会降临时,她就会尽可能地参与,也能从中吸取更多的比赛经验。在谈及兼顾训练和学业时,陈同学认为应该全心地完成事情,就好比:全神训练;而上课时专注于课堂听讲。她表示,自己也会粗略地拟定完善的时间表;平时上课认真听讲;功课就会在课间空挡时完成。回家后,自己除了训练时间和重要的事务以外,剩余的时间就利用于完成课业及复习,拥有多余的空挡才用作娱乐休息时间。
每个星期的长时间训练,日复一日地练习着相同的韵律操动作,看着同学们都能够娱乐玩耍,而自己却依旧每日不断地训练、奔东忙西地,让陈奕泓同学产生了想放弃的念头。不过,她渐渐发现这项陪伴了自己多年的体操是最能够为她带来快乐的。每当自己踏入体操馆,一切的烦恼都会炮制云外。因为喜欢这项运动带来的快乐、刺激性、挑战性;为了达到每个自我设定的目标;更因为舍不得放弃多年的坚持,使她更坚定自己想要继续朝这份梦想前进的想法。
比赛正式开始时,陈奕泓同学表示自己还是感到十分地慌张。她说道,由于之前疫情的冲击,导致她长期无法参与实体的赛事;加上当时自己并未调整好状态,因此有紧张的情绪。不过,她通常会通过与自己沟通的方式以缓解紧张和调整状态,告诉自己必须保持冷静。之后,她便会专注于赛前的准备和练习,将紧张情绪遗忘。在遇到强劲的竞争者时,陈同学透露道,她会把对方视为一个对自己的挑战,相信只要拥有足够和努力地训练就肯定可以达成目标。比赛进行时也不会让自己太过压力,先稳定好情绪并告诉自己尽最大的努力就不会有问题,再全力发挥。她也肯定地说道,拥有强劲地对手才能使自己更进一步。
完成比赛后,陈奕泓同学会对自己进行赛后的评估和检讨,合适自己平时训练的水准是否有达标。她会要求家人或朋友们将比赛的过程录下,比赛完毕后再回放视频,进行一个自我检讨,从中吸取教训。赛后,她点评道,自己的整体表现并未达到最佳效果,依然还有很大的进步空间。
能够获得如此耀眼的成绩,陈同学最想要感谢父母、家人及教练的支持。她表示,父母整日为自己的时间奔忙,不远千里也坚持如常载她来回训练。即使劳累,却也一直用行动支持她的梦想。她也感谢教练每日耐心地指导她动作的技巧,就算是再微小的细节动作也会不断替她调整至完美。不但如此,她也想感谢每次比赛中,在背后默默支持及鼓励她的家人、朋友、老师们。有了他们的加油打气,自己才能更安心地在赛场上发挥。
陈奕泓同学透露道,自己还是希望能一直继续在韵律操这方面发展,直到她18岁的最大运动岁额,并且在今年争取获得代表槟州出赛2022年Sukma的机会。此后,她也会尽可能地珍惜出赛的机会,因为在韵律操这项运动项目中,一旦年龄超越了15岁,能够参与的赛事也就会逐渐减少。
对于是否想要参加更多更大型的比赛,陈同学肯定道,她希望自己能够继续参加比赛,与更强的对手切磋、多学习与观摩,累积经验。不过,即使韵律操是她人生里很重要地一部分,但也终会有结束的一天。为了自己的未来着想,陈同学还是会尽可能地兼顾学业及韵律操两方面,因此也必不会耽搁学业。虽然她目前还未有机会参加国外的赛事,但她盼望自己以后会有这个机会参与国外的赛事。此外,她相信国外的比赛肯定会与国内的比赛拥有一定的区别和挑战。
最后,陈奕泓同学透露,自己或许会把韵律操列入未来职业生涯的一部分,但也不一定会视为唯一的出路。未来的职业可以有许多的选择,而韵律操只算是自己的一个日常兴趣而已。

“女生应有的基本个人形象仪容” 讲座

什么是个人形象仪容?它又有何重要性值得我们探讨?2022年8月12日(星期五)早上10时至11时半,执业形象顾问何国恩小姐应我校韩江中学的邀请,在我校林连登礼堂为女学生分析并分享女生应有的基本个人形象仪容及其重要性。此讲座的宗旨为帮助女生提升自己的形象,并为她们提供建议,帮助她们以形象仪容的自信,独立的展示自己。
受邀到我校演讲的专业形象顾问何国恩小姐表示,很荣幸受邀与我校学生分享她的经验,并能够帮助学生乘他们在青春期成长的过程中建立自我,给他们见识到一个全新的道路,而形象仪容便是这次讲座的主题。何国恩小姐表示形象仪容的重要性往往在于它会影响他人对我们的印象,尤其是对我们的第一印象。而形象仪容取决于你如何穿搭及打扮自己,还有我们的走路姿势、坐姿、谈吐和气质等。为了让我们更能理解形象与仪容的重要性,她分享了自己的经历。在她年轻时,因为无法为自己的形象仪容进行投资,无法很好地展现自己,这导致面试受挫,使她无法找到工作。虽然她在学生时期成绩优异,但由于她的形象仪容,没有多少公司愿意雇用她。她慢慢地意识到投资于自己的形象仪容是多么重要,从而引导她学会了投资自己的形象仪容,使她能够自给自足,自信地展示自己,这让她向成功的道路迈出第一步,并让她走到现在的位置;即成为一位著名的形象顾问,并且有来自世界各地成千上万的客户向她寻求帮助,以建立他们的自我形象和提高他们的气质。
何小姐热衷于助人,并能够帮助像中学生这样的年轻人更专业、更有序地展示自己,以及在外部和内部都有自信的肢体语言。她还表示有幸能够在许多其他学校进行更多的讲解。她的名言“你越早投资,你长大后获得的回报就越好。”她认为,在年轻时树立形象比年长时树立形象更有优势,因为你仍然年轻,这样做也更轻而易举。如果你认为这将花费太多时间,或者很难照顾好自己身体的每个部位,她建议学生可将注意力集中在面部,因为大多数人都会以你的面部来判断你的形象仪容, 如:皮肤、眼睛、嘴唇、鼻子等。因此,她希望我校的女生能够从课程中学到一些新的东西,并改变自己的思维方式。
尽管何小姐现在已经非常成功,但她也经历了很多艰苦的努力,付出了很多心血、汗水和泪水,才能获得如今的成就。 由于她年纪较大才开始发展形象顾问的职业生涯,因此受到很多的批评和歧视,因为许多人认为她年纪太大了,无法开创自己的职业生涯,这些看法来源于形象顾问这个职业通常会在年轻期,年龄大约30岁时开始,但她已没有如他们般的青春了。尽管她面对着别人对她大器晚成的批评,但通过与她的助手 Jessica Lu 的合作,她也能够将自己的职业生涯发挥到极致。她们最近还与槟州政府携手合作举办了一场女性会议 — Women Impact Makers Conference — 以建立更大、更有影响力的规模,以达到州级的形象顾问的地位,并进行多次一对一的客户会议。
何小姐的演讲充满了鼓舞人心和激情澎湃的话语,震撼了学生的心灵,增强了学生的信心。她建议学生跟随自己的内心和想法,不要为他人而改变自己,而是为自己而改变自己,只有坚持不懈与努力,奇迹才会发生。她的评论不仅为学生们指明了自信和抱负的道路,也教会了他们如何更好地展示自己和了解周围的环境,尽管学生还很稚气年轻,但不要让任何人占他们的便宜。
最后,我校校长江美俐硕士表示,她非常感激能够为她的学生邀请到这样鼓舞人心和模范的角色,能够有人伸出援助之手,帮助她教育和教导她的学生。 她还说,她把她所有的学生都当作自己的孩子,希望他们能够立志成为伟人,让她有朝一日可以引以为豪,回首往事。
On the 12th of August 2022, Han Chiang High School has invited a professional image consultant over to the school to host a talk for the female students of Han Chiang High School on how to present themselves, help them to improve their image as well as give them the advice to help them in their confidence and to be able to present themselves independently.
Introduction
He Guo En, the professional image consultant that was invited to have a talk in the school stated that she was grateful to be invited to present a talk and share her experiences with our students and be able to help students to construct themselves as they are still young and have their youth. She brought up her past where she wasn’t able to invest in her image and couldn’t present herself well which led to her being unable to get jobs. Although she has straight As as a student, not many companies wanted to hire her due to her imagery. She slowly realised how important it is to invest in her image thus leading her on learning to invest in her self-image to be more self-sufficient and confident in presenting herself, bringing her to where she is now – a well-known image consultant with thousands of customers from all across the globe asking her for help in constructing their self-image and finding out who they truly are.
She thrives to help people and to be able to help younger people like high-schoolers in presenting themselves more professionally and neatly as well as having confident body language both externally and internally, also expressing to be able to have more talk sessions in many other schools. Her quote says,” The earlier you invest, the better rewards you reap when you grow older.” She believes that establishing an image at a young is better than establishing it when you’re older as you still have youth and it is easier for one to do so as well. If you think it will take too much time or it would be hard to take care of yourself on every part of your body, she advices you to focus on the face as most people judge your face: skin, eyes, lips, nose etc. Therefore, she hopes the female students of HCHS were able to learn something from the session, something new and a change of mindset.
Behind the Scenes
Though she is extremely successful now, it took a lot of hard work as well as blood, sweat and tears for her to arrive where she is now. As she started her career of being an image consultant at an older age, she was criticized and looked down upon as many think that she is too old and wouldn’t be able to start her career because being an image consultant usually starts at the age of around 30 where one still has their youth, but she didn’t. Despite the fact that she faced criticism from others and her past, she was able to extend her career to the fullest as well by working alongside her assistant, Jessica Lu Hooi Sin, recently hosting a women’s conference – Women Impact Makers Conference – joining hands with the Penang state government, collaborating and joining hands to make a bigger and more impactful scale, reaching state levels as an image consultant with many one-to-one customer sessions.
Aftermath
The talk she gave was full of inspiring, encouraging and passionate words that shook students’ minds and raised their confidence in so. She advices students to follow their hearts and minds, do not change themselves for other people. If they truly would want to change for themselves, only then will the magic take place and truly change. Not only did the talk show students paths of being confident and aspiring, but it also teaches them lessons on how to bring themselves out more and to be aware of their own surroundings, not easily allowing anyone to take advantage of them although they are teenagers.
The principal of Han Chiang High School was more than grateful to be able to invite such inspiring and model roles for her students and also be able to have someone to lend a helping hand in helping her educate and teach her students. She voiced that she takes all her students as if they were her children, hoping that they can aspire and become great adults that she can be proud of and look back on one day.

Geography Field Trip 16/7/2022

First Attraction – Paddy Field
Firstly, we went to the paddy field. Paddy we had seen was yet fully mature. There is a small road for us to get along the paddy field and enjoy the picturesque view of it. Coconut trees are right beside the paddy field, whisking the deepest hues of green and yellow green. I believe that most of us always neglect the beauty of the paddy field and give no attention to it everytime we pass through it. Hence, this trip gives us a chance to truly have a look at it. The explanation was given by the farmer in Bahasa Melayu, and was then translated to English by Ms Anu. According to the farmer, there is a river called Sungai Kelit right along the paddy field, hence, it is convenient for the farmer to carry out an irrigation system to water the paddy. They will stop the irrigation system 20 days before they harvest it. It takes 100-110 days to cultivate rice. During the cultivation, the farmer uses pesticides to kill bugs, insects that breed in the paddy field, as well as the wild grass grown around to ensure that the paddy grows well, without receiving any damages by them. After the cultivation, they will harvest it and send their crops to factories in order to produce rice. Better quality paddies collected will be used as seeds for the next cultivation. There are a few conditions which are very crucial to ensure that the paddy grows well. Firstly, the paddy requires 30-32 degree celsius of sunlight. Secondly, it needs 2000 mm of rainfall. The farmer also stated that the best harvesting time for them is in January since it rains more frequently from June to December.
After the explanation, students walked leisurely along the paddy field, and took photos with their friends to record down this memorable experience. Overall, this is a great experience for us to take a step in to learn about paddy fields. We usually learn about the function of the paddy field in our textbook, however, this time, we were able to listen to a more specific explanation and data on how paddy grows by an experienced farmer, which I think that we had achieved one of the objectives of having this field trip.
Second attraction – Waterfall
We visited the waterfall and we had our brunch there as well. Some of them enjoyed the Nasi Lemak, but some of them think that it is too spicy for them. The waterfall had staircases that led to the top. Sadly we did not get to climb all the way up the stairs, as it was too dangerous and risky to do so. After we had our brunch, Thephila, Xin Ru from class J2E1 gave us a brief explanation on the formation of the waterfall, while Wong Yun Zheng from class SE11 talked about one of the erosion processes, attrition after that. Then, Ms Anu showed us where the plunge pool is at. Everything went smoothly, but an incident happened that broke the peace. One of the students accidentally dropped his water tumbler, and was eager to get his tumbler back. He thought that the water was shallow, so he jumped into the river. Out of his expectations, the water was deep, and he wet himself.
This gives us a lesson, we should never do something without permission during a field trip. Other than that, everything went well.
Third attraction – Bee farm
We also visited the bee farm. There we learned how the farm was set up for the bees as well as how bee houses were made and how bees make honeycomb: They will first sip the nectar as food, then produce honey in their stomach. At the same time, they will collect young leaves to build their house, forming “containers of their honey.” and build a roof for their house. It takes 1 month for these bees to form a full box of honey. The owner of these bees will collect honey from these houses and sell it to earn money.
Students heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that all those are stingless bees, and tried to approach them out of curiosity. The owner of the bee farm even let us sip the honey directly from the honeycomb. Some of our teachers did that, but some just refused. There, we get to know some facts about honey.
Fourth attraction – Prawn farm
In order to reach the prawn farm, we had to walk along a slope. The prawn farm had 60 ponds and totalled 60 hectares. Some of the ponds were dirty, others were dry but most had water inside. The prawns were around just 2 to 3 months old but they would be harvested every 5 months since they are fully mature by then. Prawns are nocturnal, hence, we can’t really see the prawns during daytime. However, these prawns will float on the surface of the water at night. Even so, detailed explanations and demonstrations on how they harvest these prawns were still given by the farmer. We got the opportunity to have a look at the various types of prawns and take photos of them. Everyone was so exhilarated to have a look at it. All in all, despite the disappointment on the condition of the prawn farm, we’ve learned a lot from the farmer and appreciate the opportunity to learn.
Fifth attraction – Coffee plantation and river
We had our lunch in the area around the coffee plantation. There was a river where we also carried out two experiments, i.e. the experiments for the velocity of the river and the depth of the river. After the experiment, we also had chicken rice there. Meanwhile there were also bicycles provided near the river, and some of them enjoyed riding the bicycles with their friends. Meanwhile the coffee plantation also provided us with an explanation on how the coffee beans were prepared and how the coffee was made. The coffee beans were dried for 6 months before they were fried for 30 minutes until they turned blackish brown. As for how coffee is prepared, they first fry sugar for 30 minutes. Then fry the coffee bean in 40 degree celsius for 30 minutes. Then they grind the coffee bean to coffee powder. The owner also prepared a mug of coffee and poured it out into cups and gave it to teachers. Teachers responded that the coffee was nice.

World Scholar’s Cup Regional Round Champion

298363862_5484456738278071_2168267011673690745_n
It has always been said that teamwork makes the dream work – a cliché saying that proves to be true. On 15th and 16th April of 2022, Han Chiang High School participated in the Regional Round of the World Scholar’s Cup, held in Prince of Wales Island International School (POWIIS); against many scholars, 15 of Han Chiang’s very own came back triumphed with 100 medals and 11 trophies.
Among them, 4 students stood out: a dream team in the senior division – consisting of Estelle Sia Yu Qi from SE11, Samuel Phun Wei Xen from S1, and Yap Q-Ann from SE12 – as well as an emerging champion in the junior division – Wong Yeok Hei from J1E1. Yeok Hei and Estelle both claimed the School Top Scholar accolades in the Junior and Senior divisions respectively, emerging as the First Overall Champion Scholars of their own divisions. In the Senior division, Samuel and Q-Ann were not far behind, attaining trophies as the first, and second Champion Scholar runner-ups. As a team, Estelle, Samuel, and Q-Ann also obtained First Place Champion Team, scoring exceptionally in every event.
Expressing astonishment, Wong Yeok Hei stated that she never expected to be able to win so many awards in her first year of participation. She emphasised her gratitude towards her teammates – who had helped her come through this journey – for being there for her and progressing together. Behind her striking achievements, at times she wanted to give up with the competition clashing with her exams. Though in a tight spot, she overcame these difficulties effortlessly.
As for Estelle, who has been involved in this program for a while now, she was elated when she saw groundbreaking results at the competition. Her devotion to the program lasted throughout the pandemic, and in 2022, to participate again felt like a dream. She admits that balancing the World Scholar’s Cup and the rest of her life can be difficult sometimes, as she needs to work towards her own academic goals. Regardless, she feels that the program is worth the effort. With her teammates, she believes that things will work out and hopefully they will come out victorious in the Global Round.
Likewise, Samuel Phun has persevered throughout the 2-year hiatus and was in disbelief at his awards. Describing the program to be unique and fun, Samuel dedicates time and effort towards this competition. Similarly, Q-Ann was startled and delighted to have won. Unlike her teammates, the pandemic took a toll on her mental health. Gaining back her motivation, she performed amazingly in the regional round. To balance out her studies and the program, she makes sure to sort out her priorities.
In September, the Global Round will be commenced in Bangkok, and this year, the students hope to see new, improved results on the global theatre!

日本盆舞节(Bon Odori)

日本盆舞节(Bon Odori),又称日本鬼节,目的是为了敬奉以及欢迎先人的灵魂“重返人间”,让任何离去的亡魂一同相聚并欢快共舞。由于疫情的原因,我国已经有三年没有举行这样重大且欢快的庆典了。在6月30日的槟城盆舞节上,现场超过百个的日本与本地美食档口,各个角落都摆放着跟日本文化息息相关的装饰,许多人还为了迎合这次的日本为庆典身穿日本传统服装,惊艳无比。值的光荣的是,在众多表演团体之中,本校槟城韩江中学的流行乐团十分有幸参与了本次表演。
流行乐团总共派出了6位学生参与表演,参演歌曲则是3首日本歌曲。其中一位表演者是来自J21的卢品淳同学。她在采访中表示,自己是第一次参加并表演在如此盛大的日本庆典。她认为设立在大操场中央的舞台也十分独特,四面八方观众的到来让她既兴奋又激动。她分享道,这次的表演曲目《心做し Kokoronashi》是很感性且悲伤的歌曲,曲子描述的机器男孩与女孩的故事,带出了人们需要珍惜自己拥有的那颗“会跳动的心脏”。此外,卢同学还坦言自己上台之前的确会有小紧张,但是当自己上了舞台就不紧张了,并且还很享受自己在舞台上的表演。
卢同学补充道,她和队员们用了2至3个星期来准备这次的表演,包括了选歌曲、记歌词、队员配合度等等。她认为每一次可以表演的机会都不容错过,因此自己想把握和珍惜每次的表演机会。卢同学还表示,由于这是一场盛大的表演所以都每个人都不允许自己有一丁点的小错误。在准备表演的过程当中,这次是她第一次与流行乐团配合并外出表演。很多时候不习惯,尤其是歌曲起调的问题,但是她表示,最后练习多了问题便自然而然地解决了。卢品淳同学觉得个人整体表演还算满意。由于这是第一次演唱日本歌曲,在日语发音方面可能还不能像日本人那么流利,但她相信只要多演唱日本歌曲,这些问题就会有效得到改善。最后,她想感谢校方以及韩中流行乐团地顾问老师和教练提供那么好的训练及培训,并且提供那么难得的表演平台给队员们,她相信自己有了这次表贵的经验过后,自己必定会变得越来越好。
同样是来自流行乐团的胡佳涵同学表示自己当时十分紧张。因为现场太多人的原因,她深怕表演的时候会出差错,但更多的则是兴奋,毕竟自己是第一次在那么盛大的庆典中表演。此外,她自行演唱的日本歌曲《Summertime》是一首欢快的歌曲,这首歌除了在她的范围之内也是一首可以带动全场观众来个大合唱的歌曲,因此上台演唱到一半的时候反而感到自在了。两个星期的时间来筹备这次的表演,胡同学坦言之前的确有担心过时间不够以及参演服装的问题。而且考试也刚好在那段时间,因此她害怕自己会太过专注于某件事情而让两者都得到不好的结果,压力很大,服装问题则是害怕无法在短时间内寻找适合的服装而纠结过。但是过了一段时间后,经过老师和队员们不断的努力以及非常默契的配合,让事情简单了许多。胡佳涵同学感慨,若自己在表演的时候没有那么紧张的话,可以让成果变得更好。但是整体的表演还算满意。
来自J3E1的林睿娴同学表示,这次的经历十分有趣,看见同班同学前来支持并大声呼喊她的名字令她十分感动。这次的表演机会是学会的顾问老师争取的,因此林同学认为她无论如何都要表现得好,为校争光也为自己感到骄傲和光荣。即便是犯了错误也要从容地面对和解决。另她印象最深刻的是在彩排之前发生的突发情况——扩音器的导线出了问题,让她和队员们都乱了阵脚。但值得庆幸的是,她们在表演前的最后一秒都成功解决了问题,让表演顺利继续。通过这次一系列的筹备到上台表演,她认为团体合作无论什么时候都非常重要,时时刻刻与队友建立信任感,最重要的则是需要相信自己。通过这次表演,她收获最大的是更多的表演经验以及如何在表演的前一秒临危不乱地及时解决问题,林 同学认为这是她在这个年龄段需要去学习的。
本校流行乐团的顾问老师庄华山在采访中表示,让流行乐团的学生参加这次日本盆舞节的目的是为了让他们建立自信以及提高自我的表达能力。庄老师还表示,这次的表演除了能让他们提取经验之外,遇到问题时提高他们的变通能力,同时也能让他们发挥即兴创作的能力,让他们变得更加成熟。他感慨道,他觉得这次同学们都表现得很好,时间以及成员配合问题都是需要长时间去考虑以及消磨的,在这一方面同学们都完成得非常好。更值得祝贺的是,位于槟城的日本领事馆工作人员表示学生们都表现得很好,但仍然还是有进步的空间。
