the Heeren Young Designer Awards 2009

together with my team, GLAKE, we clinched the 1st runner-up in the Heeren Young Designer Awards 2009.
3 weeks of sweat and hard work.
its not an easy task for a group of students who just started the course for less than 2 months.
especially looking at the different country backgrounds, age gaps, life experiences, etc, which the 5 of us came from. critically not having any formal education to both design and fashion. its amazing that we managed to come this far.
while as the team leader, i did and tried my very best to keep things moving.
from being unknowingly assigned as the leader to a team whereby the members are not interested to participate. to reorganizing a new team from scratch and embracing the different in opinions.
so for those who has doubts or negative comments. save it. u have no idea to what me and my team had been thru.
and special thanks to family, friends and schoolmates for the help, support and coming down on the various days to cheer for us.
its great to see familiar faces in the crowds.
not forgetting Farah who gave us so much advices and guidance. with her, it seriously poke me to consider switching to fashion design.
and also Tim, for the brilliant idea on the ads.
new friends were made along the competition.
experiences gained. lessons learnt.
lastly, three cheers to team GLAKE!
hip hip hurray!
