Queenie Cheng, HKUGA College "Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it." -- Greg Anderson Being both a leader and participant was a challenging and exciting role. This is my second year participating in this competition. Each year I have gained very different learning experiences. At the end of the ceremony, I realized that winning an award was not the most important part of the competition. It was the process. When our group worked together well as a team, it was brilliant. Also, the everlasting friendships we made were unexpected. I would like to congratulate all the participants who had the courage to join this competition, and regardless which award you received, you're still all winners. Lastly, we would like to thank everyone who watched and appreciated the effort we put into making the video - we hope we have made you - Think Again!   Debbie Cheung, St. Paul's Convent School As a participant and winner of the Think Again Awards, I think that this competition is really worth joining. I learnt and gained so much experience through making a documentary with my team mates. If possible, I would like to join this competition again next year.   Carmen Ho, Janice Chow Alison Lam, Danielle So,Diocesan Girls' School Taking part in this competition has truly broadened our horizons and made us think again. Our friendship was developed during the process of creating this documentary, and we greatly cherished every minute of it. All in all, this was a most memorable experience to all of us, and we hope more of you have learnt something about Cantonese Opera---the one true art of the Chinese.   Law Ka Chun, Steve, S.K.H. Li Fook Hing Secondary School I am indeed very honoured to be invited again as one of the judges for this meaning award program. This year, my friends and I joined the Think Again Awards 2008 organised by the National Geographic Channel and Wiseman Education. It is a documentary making competition which consists of three different topics. Our team made an 11-minute short-movie on the topic – Science, technology & Environment, and we titled it as Mobile Phone & Communication. We are delighted that we actually won the Think Again Award, which is one of the top prizes of the competition. During the production process we learned so much. For example, we realized that producing a creative and informative documentary is not an easy job; the directing, editing and filming process are all crucial elements. Time management was also important. We had to manage our schoolwork and prepare for the A-level exams. Good team work helped us with our schedule and we all achieved our study goals. As we have never made a documentary before, it was a new challenge and a great opportunity for us. I enjoyed participating in this competition greatly. Unfortunately, we have to take more A-level exams next year and will never have another chance to take part in it again. However, it will remain a remarkable memory for me and will stay in my heart eternally.   Leung Wai Fung, Yan Chai Hospital No.2 Secondary School What can you do for the world? If you want to arouse the public awareness on some issue, I strongly suggest that you can join the Think Again Awards. It provides you a chance to show your feeling. Let’s join again next year!   Ling Chi Ho, Yan Chai Hospital No.2 Secondary School It was a golden opportunity for us to learn how to express our feelings and it provided us a room for reflection. We hope students’ creativity will be enhanced by joining the competition!   Pau Wing Yan, Yan Chai Hospital No.2 Secondary School It is my honor to take part in the Think Again Award. It was a good chance for us to think more about our society and culture. We all think that we should make more observation around us. Let’s wake up more people to concern about our society and culture.   Wong Ching Man, Yan Chai Hospital No.2 Secondary School It is proud of me to win this award. We make “Smile” as the theme of our documentary as we would like to address the relationship between us becoming estranged. We hope people will be aware of this problem since our families and friends are so important to us. We should treasure them. I think this competition can provide a chance for the students to share what they think of the world. It is a good way for us to know what problems we have.   Wong Sik Yin, Yan Chai Hospital No.2 Secondary School It is a good opportunity for us to present our view and feeling to other people. When sharing the feeling with others, we can arouse an awareness of relationship. Like our topic "To smile or not to" which wants people to pay attention to their attitude in daily life. The busy lifestyle makes us feel bored and tired. Sometimes we may ignore others. Actually we just give a smile or say "Hello!" to your neighbor or the one you see every day but never talk. A simple action really can make a good response. May be you can think that it is a good start. Also I would like to thank my group members who tried their best to make this document perfect especially Anthony Ling. You are the best. I was surprised when I heard that we won the prize. I am so happy that our view was supported by the adjudicators.   Xu Chan Ling, Fan Shu Yao, Luo Wen Qi, Wang Qin Yuan, Suzhou Lida School It's wonderful to show the beauty of Suzhou to the people in Hong Kong. We learned a lot during making the documentary. It's our great honor to get 'the Best Editing Award'. Hong Kong is such a beautiful place, and we will never forget our trip there when we attended the Think Again Awards Ceremony.   Back to Top
