In case you don’t know what Paintball is: Paintball is a game in which players eliminate opponents by hitting them with pellets containing paint (referred to as a “paintball”) usually shot from a carbon dioxide or compressed-gas powered paintball gun (or marker).

It’s not actually as painful as it sounds – it’s not just for the guys – plenty of girls play paintball too! Paintball requires stamina, team work, strategy and psychology in order to win a game, and it’s a whole lot of fun! Those that play online games will notice that has its similiarities to Counter-Strike

First off…here’s some interesting pictures from the recent H-Factor press conference (or here for more pictures) at Werner’s @ Changkat Bukit Bintang.

So what’s it about? From the official H-Factor website itself: “You have the INTEREST & a POSITIVE ATTITUDE. You feel that YOU (or someone significant to you between the age of 16 – 25) may have talent in one or more of the creative content fields – whether it be in dance, music, drama, motion graphics or public speaking.

You WANT TO LEARN a tip or two from your favourite celebrities, and you want to MAKE A DIFFERENCE with whatever talent YOU have. A 1-DAY CREATIVE WORKSHOP, 8 SPEAKERS & YOU! ”

The workshop features the following celebrity speakers, well known for their prominence in various creative fields. They are: Hannah Tan, Hans Isaac, Serena C, Pietro Felix, Harith Iskandar, Reymee (Innuendo), Joey Khor, Fellest Yan & David Lai. And, this isn’t only open to those in KL (2nd Nov). It’s also going to be in Penang (12th Oct), Johor Bahru (19 Oct) & (26 Oct) Kota Kinabalu!

Advertlets is sponsoring the blog advertising and media design for this H-Factor initiative as we believe it is a great positive effort for young people to further express their creativity and explore their passions, and well in line with our brand attributes. Malaysia is a country where about 60% of the population is under 25 – and, coincedentally, this is the same group that blogs the most by demographic.Hence we aim to have this great opportunity be known to as many young people as possible. Yes, attending the workshop would make a GREAT topic to blog about, don’t you think?

And, what makes it even more special to Advertlets is that one of our Advertlets Bloggers is involved too, as a speaker no less! – Mentalist/Magician David Lai from www.davidlai.tv. Check out all the buzz he’s gotten from the media, or better still…filmed in his element, doing his thing on Youtube

Lastly, don’t wait…The workshops all happen this month (on convenient Sundays in fact), so do register at www.h-factor.info! Limited spaces are available.
