Caricature live sketching for Great Eastern Life Dinner & Dance 2008

An hour event at Shangri-La Hotel.
Peter Draw, the caricaturist who has made into the Guinness World Record of drawing the largest caricature, and 24 hours non-stop of drawing cxaricatures, requested me and Reggie to partner him in this event.
I took up this job, since he told me that the time is 6pm -7pm initially.
I have a seminar which ends at 5pm. Enough time for me to rush from TMC, at City Hall to Shangri-la in less than 30 minutes.
Few days before the event, he told me to standby at 5pm, as the event starts at 5:30pm.
Nearly fainted, as it is nearly impossible to reach there at 5:30pm.
After clarifying with his client, he told me that some miscommunications between them, but he will start early, and asked me to rush there in the shortest time, as my presence is pretty important. Wah! Is it?!
Thank goodness, and I reached there in 10 minutes time. Rather unbelievable, as I presumed it will be pretty jam during that time from City Hall to Shangri-La Hotel.

The queue lengthened in a few minutes time, as there were many guests for this event.

Caricature live sketching for Great Eastern Life D&D 2008 - Jit, Peter & Reggie
Seldom we have a few (more than 2) caricaturists in an event.
A group shot is a good rememblance.
From the left - Me, Peter and Reggie.

Peter told me that he first met me, when I was drawing in Clarke Quay.
He was in Primary 4 then.
Wah!!! I felt like an uncle suddenly. Hahaha!!!!
Then he saw me again when I was busking in Orchard.
He was inspired by my caricature works.
Ooh... really?!
Third time we met was in my shop in China Square Food Centre.
Today was the fourth time.
He was quite surprise I have been in this line for 14 years and Reggie in this line for 10 years.
Ya....unknowingly.... 14 years gone like that......
12 years ago, I was at his current age.
Time really flies.......
