I was sorry for no update for my blog post in those days as I was busy working at Planet Popcorn Gurney Plaza. The tiring but yet happy working experience was really cool, I will share it out in the following blog post. Show you guys some photos out from there too!
I think most of the people know that this year there were many mural arts wall painting around the heritage site in Penang. Those artworks were perfectly done by Ernest Zacharevic, the cool artist! I really admire on his effort in those wall paintings and he makes the Georgetown turn alive.
I went to Chew Jetty for supporting my friend for their TShirts. Actually they were making the shirts with the permission from the originate mural arts wall painting artist, Ernest. They are Henry Chew and Kyle Tan who were my Chung Ling schoolmates. They are talented and creative in mind thinking of making a shirt for the tourists to purchase on it... business minded! :D
Here is their business place, it is just right in front of Henry Chew's grandma house at Chew Jetty. They are selling the shirts for RM20 each which attracted a lot of tourists purchased from them. They called themselves as
ELANOO as a company and those part of the Tshirts profit will be donated to Children Protection Society.
After purchased the shirts, you can even snap one of the mural arts collection in the Chew Jetty. Besides that there is a little shipyard for small boats to land at there too. It's a good place to snap for beautiful scenery.
In weekends there are a lot of visitors came in the jetty and take a look or maybe snap photos. They are wonder that how come Penang has such kind of special place which the residents can live on the water and there was a lively community there. Besides that, some of them were even offer the resident to start up their boats and offer them a ride around the Esplanade area. It was pretty cool and I was glad to see that Chew Jetty is well maintained!
The young entrepreneurs making their creativity into a business. It's a good job for them and I was proud of my schoolmates have achieve such business level and start to earn money. Actually I did sell Tshirts too, but the respond is not as good as them. Well, there is something else I should learn out from them! So I wish them having a good business and also the good studies as well! :D
Walking out the Chew Jetty, let me think of the view of my kampung at Bayan Lepas. I really hope those kampung houses can be restored in good conditions and hope that teenagers like me love to live in kampung more than in cities. The natural one is always the best! :D Posted by GenYong 23.11.2012
