The article mainly tells us something about the Lunar Tiger Coin collection of this year. The main purpose of the coins is to bring good luck and fortune to people and to encourage them to be more optimistic for the brand new year, for the images of tigers that represent great leap can symbolise the whole family jumping over all the problems and difficulty during the recession. The article also introduces the creator of the 'tigers', local painter Tan Seng Yong, one of the best 'Tiger Painter' among this area.
The reason why I chose this article is that I am fancy of collecting things like stamps and money. Therefore, it is not hard to image that when I first saw the photos of coins in the newspaper, my heart just simply beat faster and my breathe became deeper. However, this is not just what I want to say. I want to talk something about the painter Tan Seng Yong, the man who has been drawing only this animal for more than 35 years since 1974. After reading that, I knew why he was selected to be the creator of the last three Tiger year coins. THE KEY TO SUCCESS is always the same: being focus. And TIME is the other secret.
