Result Announced

My "Hello Singapore, Lets Chingay" picture has been standing strong for the past few days. Listed #1 all the way throughout until that evening before closing date, it slided to #2, letting "People with Confetti" standing #1 throughout.
Aiai & myself called all our family members, relatives & friends to vote and getting all our friends to mobilise their friends on line to cast a vote as well but miracle didnt happen. Mid night striked, and my picture stood still at #2.
A little bit of disappointment as I wanted so much to win the first prize. This is my first time taking part in the official national photo competition and I wanted this so much so that it will be a good recognition for my photography career.
Nevertheless, here are the people that I really want to thank from my bottom of my heart:

My beloved Aiai - she has been so supportive from the start till the end. If not because of Aiai, this award will never come near.
- She came up with the idea of going to Chingay since we have never been one.
- She was waving all the times to the performancers so that I will have the eye-to-eye contact for my photos.
- She also suggested to send a few pictures to Xin.sg for the photo competition when she first heard it over the Channel 8 news.
- She helped me to QC and selected 10 pics for submittion. Out of the 10 pics, 8 of them for selected by the sponsors for public voting.
- She had been sms/email/facebook/msn to all her families, relatives & friends to support my pictures and lastly,
- she grap her notebook down to our lobby and search for free wifi to do last minute voting.
Aiai, tho it was only a kiss and a thank you to you last night but all you have done, touches my heart and deep in my soul. Thank you & I love you.

I also want to thank my Ow Pa who also had helped me so much by mobilising his JB & KL clans. After his calls, my picture did went up to #1, but stayed for awhile and it slided to #2. Nevertheless, Ow Pa, thank you thank you thank you for the final boost.
Of coz, Ow Di & Ow Mei whom had been helping me by msn & calling their friends to keep clicking on the vote buttom on my picture. Thanks di & mei.
