Storm Warriors Comic Character Competition

Yesterday when I open my mail box, I felt surprise to see that there was an envelope writing my name. I quickly look through the envelope and realized that was The One Academy mail. I remembered that last few weeks when they came to have a seminar and I submit my contact details to them!

This movie Storm Warriors 2 (风云2) is going to arrive the big screen on 10th December. So I think this will be the great movie among the chinese movies in this year. They used a lot of 3D effects and animation which created by The One's students.

I received an envelope from the mailbox. I wondered to see my name appeared on top of the envelope. Then I opened it up and see.

I opened it up and saw there was just a contest form inside and nothing else. I read through the terms and conditions of this contest and I　like the graphic design on this movie! Not bad...

I don't actually watch the part 1 before and I didn't know about the story. By participating in this contest, you will get a chance to bring back the scholarships and prizes worth more than RM150,000.00, it's almost a house price. It's so worth if you know how to draw the comic character!

So what are you waiting for? If you're talent in arts, this is a good chance for you! Maybe you can be famous in one day... If not mistaken, you can get the entry form from GSC, The One Academy or Sin Chew Daily. The closing date is 11th December, so faster go and register la!

Thank you The One Academy for sending me this! Posted by GenYong 18.11.2009

Praying before PMR (Belated)

Before sitting PMR examination, I went to the Mahindarama Temple for the blessing service from the Buddha. Most of the candidates in Penang should know this place. While the big examination arrive, they will held a blessing service for all the candidates. I still remember when I was sitting for UPSR, I went there before!

Early in the morning, there were many peoples gather at there and wait for chanting. The monks then guided us to chant together in the hall. The above photo was taken while all the candidates came out from the hall after chanting. Some of them used that time for gathering and meet up old friends!

The committees also setup some booths for registration to join the year end camp. Besides that I saw some teenage volunteers help on promoting their program and briefly introduce us about Buddha. I just listen at them and learn something new!

I wish I can get many As as well in the coming examination. I don't expect I can get straight As, but I put myself in the 'try the best' status. So I hope my dream can come true and God received my wish! XD.

Most of the parents fetched their sons/daughter there for praying. They were waiting for their children while we busy chit chatting and meet up old friends. My dad and mum were sitting at the side wait for me. Thanks for their patient!

Many peoples were take a look on the booths that setup at there. Some peoples also took out their camera or phone to snap some photos. I think that day at least got 500 peoples in the small compound! It's a very lively annual event...

At last I managed to meet up my classmates and I took a photo with Guang Ian. He said good luck to me and I replied him All the best. Both of us wish everyone get the good result and good luck in answering on the examination. So now again I would like to wish every SPM candidates, Good luck and all the best for your examination tomorrow! You can do it... Nicholas Chan, Alvin Ng, Min Xiang, Merritt Lau, FiSh and many more bloggers. Posted by GenYong 17.11.2009

Tzu Chi Charity Food Fair (Belated)

Hey readers, recently I was not free because I am working on some designs. I found some photos from my storage and would like to share with everyone here. Recent post I posted the Makan Shiok Shiok @Adventist Hospital. Now let us rewind back to 27th of September that the charity food fair by Tzu Chi Organization in Tapak Pesta.

You could see the crowd inside the Tapak Pesta. Everyone was buying their food by using their coupon. I found that most of them were chinese! Why no malay? XD.

Stationary Sales. I think this would attract kids and students! Using this method to raise fund for charity also a good idea. I think maybe my society can do that in future! The promoters were young men and they shouted for the sales.

Besides that, there also selling biscuit which sponsored by the new company, I don't know what's the name. But the biscuit was really nice and it taste like Ghee Hiang Tao Sar biscuit.

Some of the artist design out some drawing and sell it in the charity price. Most of them looking at there and my mum thought to but one to put in new house. But at last she didn't, because I calculated it was not worth it to buy there!

Now is the time to eat. In a charity food fair, food is mostly important to peoples. Most of the peoples came here to enjoy their breakfast or lunch. They could able buy many food and finish at there in the half day. A large venue provided by the organizer in order to suit the needs from the peoples. As you could see the workers were busy serving food to the buyers.

There were many peoples crowded there to wait for their food. Or perhaps some looking at the food and decide what they need. There have a lot of stalls and make me confusing. That time I suddenly can decide what to eat. I just focus on the price, look for low prices food.

My mum would like to buy one 'Lo Mai Kai' 糯米鸡. Due to the reduce and recycle campaign, they called us to bring our own bowl to take it. That time we don't have that so at last didn't buy. But if not mistaken, many tickets were used on buying the breads for the next day schooling.

By the way, it's something in long time. In the next post, I still need to rewind back and show you what I have done in the month of September. Stay tuned! Posted by GenYong 16.11.2009

'2012' when the world ends (Trailer)

Tomorrow will have a grand movie open screen in the whole world. From the director of 'The Day After Tomorrow', Roland Emmerich is going to screen up his new product '2012'. The storyline of this movie is mostly about end of the world will be happened on 21th of December 2012. This movie used the concept from Eschatology which warned the people beware of the 2012 phenomenon when the world ends.

"A New Age interpretation of this transition posits that, during this time, the planet and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or spiritual transformation, and that 2012 may mark the beginning of a new era.[3] Conversely, some believe that the 2012 date marks the beginning of an apocalypse. Both ideas have been disseminated in numerous books and TV documentaries, and have spread around the world through websites and discussion groups." Credited from Wikipedia.
I think this will the largest and most grand movie on year 2009. Everyone was looking forward for this movie to be released. So if you can, you should go and watch in cinema and enjoy the good sound system while this movie has a lot of effects inside. Booked your place now in Cinema and ready for the movie of The World Ends on 2012! Here the trailer:

Sandcastle Competition 2009 Sr.1

After our PMR examination, our school encouraged us to participate in the outside school activity. On 21th of October, my friend Shi Zhang had participated in Sand Castle Competition among the Penang High Schools. This event which organized by INTI College was happened at the Paradise Sandy Beach Resort seaside. He borrowed the camera from me and took some nice shots...

Before leaving the school, they had taken a group photo outside the hall. This was the ChungLing sandcastle school team. XD!

When they arrived at the seaside, seems everyone was enjoying the fun in beach. I love staying at the beachside and enjoy playing the sand at beach. But unfortunately I have no chance!

After the tutor gave the instructions, my school team members started to work on their sandcastle. If not mistaken, they divided into 3 groups and compete with others.

For this post, I briefly introduce the teams that compete in this sandcastle competition. Let see which school took part in this competition!

The CHUNGLING High SchoolTeam... All boys! XD.

The PenangChinese Girl High School... All girls! XD.

The Heng Ee High School team were busy working on their sandcastle.

The Phor Tay High School all girls team were discussing and planning for their sandcastle.

The only one English school St Xavier High School team joined in this competition! Good try...

The CHUNGLING Butterworth also group a team to join the competition. They got a surprise that they won the champion back to Butterworth, congratulations! *The group photos will show it up soon.

Besides that, Jit Sin High School which located at Bukit Mertajam also came to Penang Island to take part on this competition. Now they can enjoy playing the sandcastle at seaside and you can find the only features in Penang Island!

I really thanks to my friend Shi Zhang for helping me to take those photos. I will post up more photos in the next updates. Check it out and stay tuned! Posted by GenYong 11.11.2009
