This morning, at 10:47am, while I was on the phone with colleague, my mobile phone rang.
It was a call from the chief editor of a local travel magazine, Travel Preview (旅风). Previously I submitted 2 articles to participate in their travel article writing contest, organized by Malaysian Chinese Tourism Association.
The first article I submitted was about Yellow Mountain. When I got to know we could submit multiple articles, I submitted the second, about Wuyuan. The Wuyuan article then won a third prize :)
It's not exactly the same as what I published in my blog. I slightly edited it for the submission to that contest.
To be honest, I haven't read any issue of Travel Preview magazine, but I'm going to do it soon. According to the phone conversation just now, they publish 4 issues per year, and the subscription fee is RM12 yearly. (see details here)
The results will be in the June issue. My "award-winning" (hehe, make it big) article will be in the September issue. I'm quite glad with the news. It's been years I never win any writing contest (coz of no participation also).
I know good things will keep coming. I will tell at the appropriate moment, just like now :)
Last but not least, a sincere appreciation goes specially to Feng (now in NZ), for suggesting to go to Wuyuan last year.
