'hide n seek'

The game starts with all players in a central location. One player is given the designation of "it". There are two portions to the game: the hiding - all the players, except "it", locate a place in which to hide, and the seeking - "it" attempts to locate at least one of the players. The overall objective is to not be discovered by "it".The hiding portion of the game begins with "it" using a method to avoid seeing the other players hiding, and counting out loud for a predetermined number of seconds, often with the aid of a word that takes about one second to say (e.g., "one-alligator, two-alligator..."). Meanwhile other players locate a place to hide. When the counting is completed, the "it" player usually announces the start of the seeking portion by shouting a phrase such as "Ready or not, here I come!". "It" then begins a search for the hiding players.When all players have been found or caught, the next game's "it" is usually the first player to be found or tagged attempting to reach home base safely. Alternatively, the players can agree that the last person to be discovered or tagged will become the next "it".

i was thinking about what article i should post on my blog when suddenly i remembered about my childhood time. i come from a big family. i have 5 siblings and 12 cousins. when we were kids, my cousins will came to my house. our house is like a gathering place for use. once we meet each other, we will do a lot of activities and games. one of our favourite games is hide and seek. we play it almost every week and we seldom until it is late in the evening or until my mum shout "come in or the ghost will hide you." ha ha..its so funny to think that we believe in what she say without any doubts and rushing into house. because that i am the youngest among us, i will fully depends to my brother to help me find the best place to hide. he will hide me first and only after that he will find a place for him. he will put me behind my mum's flower bush, behind a tree or my father's car or under the bench in the garden. it so enjoyable plus that time, our late cousin is still with us. all the memory brings us back to him.
