"To Be Continued..." Chapter 8 Part II Launched!

7/20/2022

122 Comments

 
[20 Jul] Finally, the second part of the eighth chapter of "To Be Continued..." is released! The Old Wise Man explains everything to Bong here and the battle is over. The myth is clarified in general. Nobody could guess that Bong is given a new role in the end. The master's plan is perfectly complete...or is it?

There are certainly still unanswered questions after watching this chapter. But, not all questions should be explicitly answered in a story. There are many things that readers should explore and come up with their own theories and ideas, because this series is written for the sake of being intriguing, and being "never-ending". After all, this story is titled "To Be Continued..." for a reason.

Watch this episode again below:

Picture
Now boys, the final question time. Here are two thoughtful questions for you. Feel free to answer one or both of them:
​
1. Give us ONE unanswered question after watching this final episode and your own answer of it.
2. Do you think the Old Wise Man has made the wisest choice to live a normal life and pass his position to Bong?

Our New Budding Poets (from left): Ambrose Wong, Roderick Yuen, Horace Chan, Edgar Tsang
[19 Jul] Hong Kong Budding Poets (English) Award (HKBPA) 2021/22, the most prestigious poetry prize for students of Hong Kong, released their lists of awardees earlier and to our delight, four of our talented poets made it into the shortlist with the following awards:

Primary Section

        Gold Prize – Ambrose Wong 6D
        Silver Prize – Roderick Yuen 5A
        Honourable Mention – Horace Chan 6A
        Honourable Mention – Edgar Tsang 6B
        Poet of the School – Ambrose Wong 6D

The awarded poems above will be published in the anthology of HKBPA. 

This honour is particularly precious as it is already 4 years ago (2018) that we last had an awardee in this contest and 10 year ago (2012) that we had multi-awardees there! You may read the awarded pieces here, along with the pieces previously awarded.

An online award ceremony was held this evening to honour all the prize-winners. Ambrose Wong, being the Gold Award recipient, was invited to perform his poem, "An Amazing Party", too.

Let's congratulate our budding poets and we hope more and more outstanding writers will be discovered in the near future.

"To Be Continued..." Chapter 8 Part I Launched!

7/13/2022

69 Comments

 
[13 Jul] The end is near... The Part I of the eighth chapter of "To Be Continued..." is here! In this episode, our three young heroes are chased and attacked by a mysterious army which they have never encountered. And then, other armies join in the fight and somehow help the heroes to approach the Old Wise Man. More secrets are about to be revealed and yet, more question marks are thrown to readers as the battle goes on. Watch the video again below and let the mysteries and excitement continue!
Picture
Now boys, question time. Here are two thoughtful questions for you. Feel free to answer one or both of them:
​
1. Who do you think sent the female army to attack the three heroes and why did he/she do it?
2. How would you describe Bong's personality as seen in this chapter? What can you learn from him?
