關於 still under processing ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

經歷各種波折，我們挺進四強賽事，但同時粉絲頁也湧入大量留言，某部分的留言對教練、選手都是非常不公平的指責。相信大家都想知道原因也希望大家可以理性討論，也針對這幾天暫停情況在此特別說明。

首先，賽事中的暫停流程如下：
1. 裁判確認暫停原因。
2. 回報賽事人員及同步告知所有賽區賽事人員暫停原因。
3. 於暫停期間積極查找異常並修復。
4. 如果在比賽過程中無法修復，將依照情況決定繼續進行遊戲、回溯..等後續處理。

2020/12/03 對上AC第一局，因為網路不穩情形導致賽事無法正常進行，回溯後遊戲中物件消失且無法被解決，依規章說明，若回溯後出現不可被解決失誤可構成重賽要素。

2020/12/06對上BOX第六局，我們按了4次暫停，這4次暫停皆是因為同一位選手設備連續出現「不支援此配件」，而出現此錯誤訊息同時選手是完全沒有辦法正常進行遊戲，所以在每次的暫停後官方都協助更換配備，同時也因為選手在遊戲中是沒有辦法測試更換後的設備是否正常，所以只能在每次更換後開始遊戲，才會出現了4次暫停的情形。

任何選手絕對不想在設備問題下繼續比賽
暫停了這麼多次，不是選手所希望的，因為每次的暫停都有可能是漫長的等待也沒有任何的好處。
設備出現問題是不可控的，因為有時可能是在某些時候、動作觸發設備異常，即使賽前經過多方測試正常，都不能保證賽事中間設備就一定會正常。

沒有人希望設備出現狀況，官方是最不希望的，任何選手也不希望在設備有問題的情況下繼續比賽，若是在設備有情況下繼續比賽這才是真的不公平。

有些人會說，我們因為暫停所以才贏得比賽，但如同前面所提到的流程外
1. 如果沒有任何原因按下暫停，賽事主辦方、其他賽區官方根本不會同意。再者，無故按下暫停依照規章將會被官方懲處。
2. 暫停時選手是不可以互相討論的

要贏，MAD是要靠自己的實力贏下來，因為這才是真正的勝利，一切的努力才是值得的。

最後，感謝願意相信我們以及支持我們的粉絲。
不過不管如何，比賽內容仍有需多要改進之處
好好檢討，積極備戰下周的四強賽事。

===========================================

After going through various twists and turns, we enter the semi-finals of 2020 AIC, but at the same time, a large number of comments flooded into the fan page. Some of the comments were very unfair to the coach and the players. This is the special explanation for the suspension of these days. Hope everyone can discuss rationally.

Firstly, the suspension process in the event is as follows:
1. The referee confirmed the reason for the suspension.
2. Reported the event personnel and informed all the event personnel of the suspension reason simultaneously.
3. Actively found and repaired the abnormality during the period of suspension.
4. If it cannot be repaired during the game, it will be decided according to the situation to continue the game, backtrack... and other follow-up processing.

2020/12/03 The first game against Team All Combo
Due to network instability, the event could not be performed normally. Objects in the game disappeared and could not be resolved after the backtracking. According to the regulations, if an unresolvable error occurs after the backtracking, it can constitute a rematch element.

2020/12/06 The sixth game against Team Box Gaming
We paused 4 times. These 4 pauses were all because the same player’s device continuously displayed "This accessory is not supported", and this error message appeared that the player was completely unable to play the game normally, so after each pause, the official assisted in changing the equipment. At the same time, because the players had no way to test whether the replaced equipment is normal in the game, they could only start the game after each change, therefore we called the pause 4 times.

We believe that no player is willing to continue the game with equipment problems. Pausing so many times is not what the player wanted, because each timeout may be a long wait without any benefit.
Problems with the equipment are uncontrollable. Even if it is normal after multiple tests before the game, there is no guarantee that the equipment in the competition will be normal.
No one wants to face equipment errors during games, especially the official. No player wants to continue the game with equipment problems. It will be really unfair to continue the game under this condition.

Some may still say that we won the game because of the suspension, however, in addition to the above mentioned.
1. If there is no reason to press Pause, the organizer of the event and other regional officials will not agree at all. Furthermore, if players pause without any reason, you will be officially sanctioned according to the rules of the conference.
2. The discussion is not allowed during the period of suspension.

To win the game, we must rely on our own game playing , because that is the real victory, and all the efforts are worth it.

Lastly but not the least, thanks the fans who are willing to trust us and support us.
No matter what, we still need to improve, review the content of the game and actively prepare for the semi-finals on this weekend.

🔥It’s Never Too Late to Start a Brilliant Career
別捧少年成名，開竅永遠不嫌晚

🏆Today we are madly obsessed with early achievement. We celebrate those who explode out of the gates, who scorch the SAT, get straight A’s in AP courses, win a spot at Harvard or Stanford, get a first job at Google or Goldman Sachs, and headline those ubiquitous 30-under-30 lists.
如今我們瘋狂追捧着年少成名的故事。我們推崇那些從起跑線開始就一路領先的天才，他們高分搞定SAT，用無數的A串起成績單，獲得哈佛或者斯坦福的錄取名額，畢業之後第一份工作就入職google或者高盛，並且登上那些漫天飛舞的“30位30歲以下的俊傑”榜單。


👀But precocious achievement is the exception, not the norm. The fact is, we mature and develop at different rates. All of us will have multiple cognitive peaks throughout our lives, and the talents and passions that we have to offer can emerge across a range of personal circumstances, not just in formal educational settings focused on a few narrow criteria of achievement. Late bloomers are everywhere once you know to look for them.
然而年少成名的案例注定是個例，而非常態。每個人發展成熟的速度是不一樣的，我們人生中都會有數個認知水平的巔峰期，並且我們的才能和熱情也會在各種各樣的個人境遇中得到激發和釋放。正式的教育流程着眼於用很少的幾項評判標準來選拔優秀人才，因此並不是所有人都得在那個體系裡一展宏圖。如果你仔細找找的話，你的身邊一定有許多大器晚成的人。


🗣Recent research suggests that we need to modify our understanding of how people mature from adolescence to adulthood. Between the ages of 18 and 25, most people are still living in a volatile post-adolescence. In both adolescent and young adult brains, the prefrontal cortex—the processing center of our frontal lobe—is the last part to fully develop, and it is responsible for complex functions such as planning and organizing, problem solving, memory, attention and inhibition.
我們此前用於定義青少年長大成人的標準，也許需要修正一下。最近的研究表明，大多數18-25歲之間的人群仍然處於情緒波動較大的“後青春期“，青少年和年輕人的大腦中，額葉的資訊處理中心——前額葉皮質是最晚發展完全的部分，而前額葉皮質所負責的是人的計劃及組織能力、問題解決能力、記憶力、注意力和自控能力。

说一说…..小黄花

多年前，我和朋友到云南旅行。
一个晴朗的下午，我们的车子开在一条马路上，两边尽是一望无际青翠的草原，厚实的云层低得让你以为只要用力踮脚伸腰就触手可及，而穿过云层洒在青草上的是神圣的耶稣光……好美好美。
我忍不住请司机大哥在路边停车，跑到草原上拍照。
我顺着耶稣光的方向走去，绿油油的草原间，长满了一朵朵闪耀的小黄花。
我把长镜头对准其中一朵小黄花，想把它在阳光下的灿烂留住。

仔细一看，刹时一阵深深的感动。
这朵小黄花的花瓣是心形的，镜头里的它好像在跟我说“我爱你”。
也许是它把我召唤到这里，让我们相遇，然后把一份强大的爱赐予我。

2007年，在好友采妮（杨采妮）的发起下，我和Gigi（梁咏琪），秀秀（许茹芸）决定成立一个儿童慈善教育基金会。
为基金会取名时，我想起了那朵充满爱的小黄花，提议了小黄花这个名字。
小黄花是野花，它在艰难的环境下成长，经历日晒雨淋，暴风吹打，却勇敢接受磨练，长得越来越粗壮，最后终于开出了灿烂的小黄花，散发着属于它的光芒。
这个精神正可以用来鼓励贫穷家庭的孩子，而我们可以透过基金会的角色，把我们的爱变成滋养他们的土地和阳光。
决定了这个名字后，我把小黄花的照片递给女儿，当时八岁的她就画了今天大家所看到的小黄花标志。

2008年，回归家乡，2010年年底，进入贫民区开始提供免费午餐，2012年正式注册。

十年，从贫民窟的免费午餐计划……至今天两间中心“小黄花乐园”，照顾上百位贫穷家庭的孩子，提供他们免费营养午餐，教育，课外活动，未来规划…..至疫情管制令期间购买医疗防护用品捐赠医院，提供六百多个贫穷家庭粮食….，这一路沿着初心走来，所有参与小黄花慈善教育基金会的工作者，无不深深地感受爱的力量。

这些孩子照亮了我们内心的慈悲，让我们发现原来爱才是真正让我们变得强大的养分，而这份强大不强势，不咄咄逼人，不傲气，而是一份非常温柔和温暖的强大。

多年前，阅读了特丽莎修女的传记。
她一生的全部财产就是一尊耶稣像，三套衣服和一双凉鞋，她为印度数不尽的贫穷家庭和快要死亡的穷人服务。
她把一生都奉献给贫穷人们，让他们受到尊重，关怀和爱。

她说：
爱自己，爱他人，爱生命里一切需要爱的事物，不要任何理由。
哪怕生命微小到只是一根细小的灯芯，燃烧了，就能照亮自己，也能照亮他人。
甚至，你还可以尝试去照亮一个世界。
每次回顾特丽莎修女的事迹或是她的语录，简单的几句话，就能让我轻易感动至眼眶泛泪。

十年，从当初“一定要喂饱孩子”的初心出发，到今日得以结合大众的力量一起关爱更多的贫穷家庭，心里尽是感恩，感恩再感恩。

很多人都觉得做慈善机构很难，很难在现今追求名利的社会里找到志同道合的伙伴。
但这十年里，从事这份慈善工作，我一直都遇见了许多非常伟大，善良的同伴，更因为这份工作而结交了许多以前身为艺人没有机会接触在各个领域已很经成功，还致力从事慈善工作的人们，让我感受到了这个社会里非常强大和温暖的力量。

因为一份关爱，打开了我的心，我的眼睛，甚至我的整个世界。

行动管制令期间，因为募款的款项非常踊跃，于是小黄花的五位员工异常忙碌。
她们每天忙于接收善款，处理捐款的文件工作，回复捐助者的讯息，定期向大众更新最新的善款运用详情，致电关心各方提供的本地贫穷家庭，难民，外籍工作者的状况，安排食物订购和运送，处理医疗防护用品的订购事宜，行动管制令开始放宽后，就忙于探访特殊案例家庭和老人院，做进一步的了解，以便能提供他们更长远的援助。

她们很忙，很累，但她们说“内心很感动，从来没想过自己有一天竟然在国家陷入困境时，与许多素未谋面的善心人士一起，帮助那么多在这片土地生活的人们。”

我很爱很爱我的伙伴们，因为她们的加入，让这份工作得以持续下去，还不停成长。
因为她们的付出，让更多的贫穷人们得到关爱。

特丽莎修女虽然已经离开人世，但她的精神和能量还在发挥着强大的影响和指引。
而还在人世间的我们，也许可以就如她说的：
我们当中极少数人能做伟大的事情，但每一个人都可以用崇高的爱去做平凡的事。
Few of us can do great things, but all of us can do small things with great love.

1) 感谢所有在疫情期间帮助我们的义工。
2) 小黄花教育基金会聘请新员工，如果你有兴趣可以联络我们 (017-384 4123)。 (只限女性) 😊


Let’s talk about….. Little Yellow Flower

Many years back, I went to Yunnan with my friend. It was a sunny afternoon. Our car was driving along the road, both sides covered in vast fresh and green grassland. The heavy clouds were hanging so low that you will feel as though as it is within reach just by stretching out your hands while tip-toeing. Also, passing through the clouds, were the divine looking crepuscular rays sprinkling over the grasses…. It was really, really beautiful and magnificent.

I just could not help it but to request for the chauffeur to pull up by the roadside, running into the grassland to take a picture. I walked and followed the ray’s directions in the lush green grassland towards a spot where there were just many small little radiant looking yellow flowers. I pointed the long camera lens towards one of the little yellow flower, wanting to keep its brilliances while under the sunshine.

Taking a closer look at the flower, I was suddenly deeply moved. The petals of this little yellow flower are heart-shaped. It seems to be saying “I Love You” to me through the camera lens. Perhaps it was the one who is calling me, letting us meet and bestowing me a sense of powerful love.

In the year 2007, with the initiative from Charlie Young, who is one of my best friends, and together with Gigi Leung and Valen Hsu, we decided to set up an education charity Foundation for the children.

When we were naming the Foundation, I thought of the little yellow flower which was full of love and proposed to use “Little Yellow Flower” as the name of the Foundation.

The little yellow flower is a flower which grows in the wilderness. It has to grow under the harsh environment, experiencing the beating weather like the scorching hot sun, drenching under the rain and bracing itself in the forceful windy storms. Yet it endures and accepts it bravely, growing into a splendid looking little yellow flower, shining radiantly and brightly.

This spirit can be used to encourage the children of poor families and communities. Through the Foundation, it enables us to transmit our love to nourish their soul and become their sunshine.

After deciding to use this name, I gave this picture to my daughter and the Little Yellow Flower logo which you all see today is actually drawn by her who was only 8 years old at that time.

Year 2008, I returned to my homeland. End of 2010, we started to provide free lunch for the children in the slum area and in 2012, we are registered formally in Malaysia.

10 years… from providing free lunch program in the slum areas, and now at present, we have 2 centers known as “Little Yellow Flower Wonderland”; Taking care of more than one hundred children from poor families, providing them free nutritious lunch, education, extra curriculums, fun learning and future planning…..During this pandemic and Movement Control Order period, we have purchased, donated Personal Protection Equipment and goods which are medically treated to the hospitals and also provided essential needs and food for over 600 poor families and individuals.
During this journey, with the original intention of the Foundation, all the staffs in Little Yellow Flower Education Foundation, sensed the deep power of love.

These children have lighten up our innermost compassion, allowing us to realize that love is the nutrient that makes us more powerful. However, this strength is not intensive, not aggressive, not arrogant but rather one that is much gentler, tender and warm.

I have read Mother Teresa’s biography many years ago. Throughout her life, her entire assets consist of only a Jesus statue, 3 sets of clothes and a pair of sandals. She served countless numbers of the poor and cared for the sick who are at the brink of death in India. She devoted her life to the poor, allowing them to be respected, cared for and loved.

She has said: “Love yourself, Love others, Love everything in life that needs to be loved. Even if life is as tiny as a wick, when ignited, it is able to illuminate oneself and also others. So much so that you may even try to light up the whole world.”
The corners of my eyes would easily tear up whenever I look back at Mother Teresa’s achievements or quotes, even though it is just those few simple words.
With the intention of “Must feed these children” from 10 years ago up to today, to be able to combine the strength from the public together to care for these poor, I am forever, over and over again filled with gratefulness.
Many people think that to serve in charitable work is very difficult. Difficult to find like-minded partners in this modern society where it is all about fame and profit. But during these 10 years, ever since engaging in this charitable work, I have met many great and kind-hearted people. It is also because of this work, I am able to meet up with a lot of successful people from various industries (people who are not in the entertainment industry). These people are also actively involved and committed in charitable work. This reminded and gave me a great sense of energy, strength and warmth still exists in the society.
Because of this care and love, it has opened up my mind, heart, eyes and my whole world.
During the Movement Control Order, due to the enormous responses from the fundraising event, all the 5 staffs in Little Yellow Flower were extremely busy.
Every day, they are busy receiving donation, processing documents, responding to the donors’ messages, regularly updating the public about the funds raised and used, finding out about the condition and needs of our local poor families, refugees and migrant workers. Making orders, preparing and delivering out essentials and food to these families in need, handling orders and making arrangements for the medical personal protection equipment.
When the Movement Control Order restrictions were relaxed, they are now busy with visitations to households of special cases and nursing homes to further understand their situation, to be able to provide them long-term support.
They are awfully busy and very tired but they told me this: “We are deeply moved. Never have we thought that there will be a day when the country would be in difficulties and we would be heavily involved, working together with so many kind people whom we have never met before to provide assistance to the people living on the same land as us.”
I love my workmates very, very much. This work is able to continuously grow and develop because of their participation. It is because of their efforts, more poor people are being cared for.
Although Mother Teresa has left this earthly world, her spirit and energy is still exerting powerful influences and guidance. To those of us who are still in this secular world, as she has said: “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
P/S:
A) Thank you very much to all volunteers who have helped out during this period of time.
