Winning Effort

Just wanted to post a brief summary on a graffiti competition that I took part with Cathy.  [Side note: Cat, you are a great partner...it was a pleasure working with someone who is motivated and has good attitude.]  The competition was on the 8th of March 2009 at Gurney Plaza Penang.  It went well and we ended up in the top 5, 4th place to be exact...which was a HUGE achievement as both cathy and I are amateurs in spraying.  But, ahem...before the good stuff, we went through a lot of err...foolish experiences hahaa...such as

1. Running through the monsoon

            

Yep, we had to walk in the rain, searching for an abandon building where we can practice spraying...it was one of the MOST silliest idea that I came up with, period!  Of course, no pain no gain...so no regrets, we both are proud to say we went through the monsoon to win this competition...hahaa, right Cat? Cat??

2. Met a butterfly lizard!

Yep, we encountered something that looked very much like a butterfly lizard at one of the abandon buildings that we visited.  I heard butterfly lizards are harmless but yet it chased us away.  So we ended up practicing on cardboard boxes in KDU, with AC!  Pheww... 

3. Drove practically ALL over Penang

We went up and down, back and fro, left and right and every possible direction...buying spray cans, searching for secluded/private areas where we can practice, finding for food ( all this activities made us very hungry ), collect free cardboard boxes...and what not

**There are many more pre competition foolishness but I'm going to save our faces and get to the winning moment 

Outcome after 2 days practice

Competition Day!

Our concept's 'Last Minute'... which is definitely related to us.  We got the idea like 2 days before the competition hehez, sometimes last minute ideas are the best because it's spontaneous and comes out in the heat of the moment making it 'real.'

Completed Work! Woo Hoo!  Yep, we looked tired...we ARE tired

Finally, results!  Just few days before the competition, Cat and I kept telling ourselves we WILL win!  It was that passion and determination that made us to come practice even when we were really tired.  I guess when I tell myself I CAN win, I MUST win, and so I WILL win (somehow in a way... LOL).  Seriously, making it to the finalist, Top 5 is an honor and I am very proud of myself and my partner, Cat.  We did it!
