I think talent is important but interest is always necessary too. I dont have the talent I guess because my Malay Language really sucks...even I did try very hard, probably I dont have any interest in it ever.:2lol:

But the saddest thing for me is... even I have the interest in mastering listening skills for english, I am still far behind the basic standard...(Somehow Manglish is not that hard though:sweat3: )

Why dont you take Chinese in PMR if you are good in it? It's always an extra advantage in reality even if it's not for chinese obligation sake.

Disctionction and credit could be a challenge but getting a pass just requires the very basic effort.
You don't really need a pass in Malay language if you do not wish to further study in some local universities, whereas the pass in Malay would always be good that you DO know this language to a basic stage.

*I'm gonna past my Malay-->>>gonna pass?
*I was told to use 'although' only at the start of the sentence but I think it's alright.

*I did took rest --->did take a rest?
I am actually not correcting anyone most of the time because I myslf also wonder if I were correct, just making suggestion and actually I am asking for confirmation too=)

oliver1990

^ Thanks for the correction, need to think twice before posting~~XD

I feel much more better now..

Actually I joined a drawing contest that held by MIA(Malaysia Institute of Art), I've already sent my drawing like 5 weeks ago but no feedback yet..I think I didn't even get through the first round.. At least I did work hard for it and my teacher said I did a great job, maybe my poster isn't good enough for the judging panel or maybe they need some proffesional artists and I'm not. Anyway, I never thought I could get through it so everything is fine, period.

BTW it would be great if I past my Malay..

I sorta insist on no-christian-name at start...Now I dont really mind though but still I dont have one， since I could introduce myself as Kai which english users coul ...

The first time I saw this name(Kyle) was on America's Next Top Model.. LOL

But this name could use for both male and female so it's ok..

Thanks for correcting my mistakes.

Im pretty regret(ted? or no need) now.
I think it should be= I'm pretty regretted now.( because of the verb to be "am" )

You are right.After do,did,does and modal verbs, we must use root verbs.

It doesn't matter if u don't win any prize in the drawing contest, just take it as a good experience. Keep it up if you have the enthusiasm in drawing, it can be a large field for you to explore...graphic design,interior design,animation design etc. Take care of yourself and have enough rest.

oliver1990

^ I'm not interested in those categories.. But I do like taking callenge.. Here's some examples of my work:


The one I drew to join the contest and it already broke my record as the biggest poster I ever drew!!


I won the contest in my school by this one.. And I loved it!!

Besides poster, I draw comics too.. I drew this one as a request of my friend for the Chinese club magazine in my school..



And Computer Graphic..



Leave a comment, thanks~~XD

I know this is not my own thread and I'm not showing off what I can do just.. Sharing.. Yup.. Sharing..XD

I like the anti-drug one.From your drawing, I can know that you are very creative and you are more on comic or leisured style. Maybe you can become a cartoonist....Just put on more effort and you can succeed...

oliver1990

^ You're right, I like leisured style but I never think about being a cartoonist..

I fear I would annoy you by pointing out more ....Of course you know I don't mean to be annoying but you might prefer grammar-free english posting=) Do let me know.

-->>I feel much more better now... Underlined word is not required.


-->that 'was' held by MIA(Malaysia Institute of Art)
--> I've already sent my drawing like 5 weeks ago but "there is still" no feedback yet.

Perhaps they are jealous of the talent you have at such young age? So they have secretly disqualified your work. Or probably it's lost on their way to the judging panels. But I think if you exert too much potentials, they might not up to the level to judge, so they choose to let it go...

I once had my chinese essay given the highest and second highest mark among all the competitor, but one of the judge gave me the lowest mark...Yet I was able to get my average mark (from 3 of them) ranked second in the end=)  And 1 committee told me later that they actually are supposed to filter the essay before they pass to the 3 judges, and mine was about to be filtered out since the other committees thought my work is not qualified for further marking... lol


-->BTW it would be great if I 'pass' my Malay..

junkai

I see,,,I just know Kyle could be female name...

Your drawings are great. Personally I think it's clear and precise, showing a decent skill in your drawing. You like to be straight-forward, this could be good but it may also be the drawback where your work could be said lack of depth.

To Oliver1990:
I like people who can draw well as I can't even draw a circle properly.

To Junkai:
I think you can stop correcting people's grammar because I can see many errors in your replies. Sorry to say that. I hope our English is getting better and better.

I learn sketches when I was in form 1
I remember the ways of sketches  until now

oliver1990

^ I can't draw a circle properly too..

I like sketch, everytime I draw I sketch on A4 paper first then I decide which face or pose should I use for my next work..

Example of my sketching, again:


I used to draw different angles but it comes out weird.. Again, examples:



^ I like his outfits, I love to design clothes too.. But not fashion design..





I was going to draw a chinese kung-fu girl.. But it came out a freaky lady..

I forgot everything I've learnt in form 1 but the memories with my friends~~

You must have misunderstood me. I didn't enjoy revealing those because it's not doing me any good if they dont like it. I was just trying to help as they have granted me to do so. our English is getting better and better. I also asked everyone to help with me if they notice any mistakes of mine. I even wrote out my doubts and questions,
hoping someone can correct it. =)

I welcome people to correct mine.  Pls dont hesitate to do so. You would be doing me a favour by revealing them. It could of course benefit me, I think.

I guess we could improve faster if someone could help us to realise our mistakes.

junkai

His english is good, but his concept of correcing people's mistakes is different. I hope he could join us too. I did learn from my mistakes that you pointed out yesterday. =)
