Imagine Cup

Trained my body to sustain at least until 1am already.

Imagine Cup.

Heard of this? I'm very sure those who have not much to do in the programming world wouldn't know this. I didn't know what was it when I first heard the name. It caught me because I think the name it's kinda hilarious. IMAGINE? HUH?

As little that I know, that is actually a competition by Microsoft! No joke. This is an annually international competition for all those computer programming freaks, extremely creative and passionated in multimedia designing peeps to join in.

I was challenged and invited by my senior to join him. He kept on emphasize that he wants us to join in at our on will because it's gonna be a tough journey.

Guess what?

I took the challenge.

I did have a deep thought about it, especially whether I could cope with my studies and my ministry. I thank God as I told him properly that I don't want it to clash with my ministry and also when I need help he could help in a way or another since he's a senior, he would try his best.

He's very very convicted to go for it and really looking forward to win it, his spirit really reaches me.

After the the first meeting up with the team members and discussion. I got the whole picture of what he wants and what's in he aiming for.

Opps.

Forgot.

His name is Alvin. 2nd year Networking Student.

So, we are taking up game designing as our project. Believe it or not? I'm actually fulfilling my dream when I was about 11 or 12? Designing a game is actually in my essay when the teacher asked me to write a short essay about my ambition. Amazing?

Our theme will be about green environment, so we will be designing a real time strategy game for player to build a city and to urbanize it at the same time challenge the player to maintain the health of the environment.

To those who don't even bother about throwing your rubbish into rubbish bin, I think you will think that it gonna be a boring game. One more thing that really attracted me is that, I get to go UNITED STATE OF AMERICA for FINALS! If and only if we made it through in National level in Kuala Lumpur next year.

As all things approach, I really need to learn how to manage my time and priority well. It's tough that's why it's gonna be exciting - got it from Joel Than.

Pray that I gonna pull through all these.

Cheers,
