Alas, My Lead is Gone. :(

I've been very lazy about updating the chart, mostly because it seems like it will cement the fact that Sae has overtaken me. But ah well, time to face the truth. :'(

These days, it seems so hard to even get to my daily quota. I just really hate this page! It just seems like a very slow page, even though its not terribly full of single stitches.

Well, here's my progress pic:

There's been several things that's been taking my attention away from HAED lately. Firstly and most excitingly, I'll be getting married in August! :) Chenpo and I have laid down some plans and have begun on executing some of them. We're not having a big grand do, just something small and simple. But even so, there's still so many things to plan.

Secondly, in order to get some things that I'll need for the wedding, I'll be going to Hong Kong in May. I'll be going with another mutual friend of ours and will be visiting yet another mutual friend who works in HK. I can't wait! I love big cities and Hong Kong was always one of the top on my list of must-visit big cities.

Thirdly, I just got my copy of Street Fighter IV for the PS3. I'm not such a big fan, I didn't really grow up playing it much, just occasional bouts at the arcades every now and then. However, fighting games are always good fun and this one looks mighty fine. I haven't really played it much yet, but I like one character called El Fuerto. Mainly because in his intro sequence, he's carrying a frying pan and doing all these fancy flips while yelling out "Super Dynamic Cooking Time!" I wish he could use the frying pan when he's fighting though.

Well, I best not let Sae get too far ahead of me! Back to trying to catch up to Sae.

Competition Rules

Competition Begins: 1st May 2008
Competition Ends: Chinese New Year 2013

Goal: Complete a HAED design by the time allotted.

Designs chosen are to be of approximately the same sizes. Contestants are free to change their design half way, however it must also be of the similar size to the original design chosen.

Each month, each contestant will deposit USD$20 into a separate bank account.

Every fortnight, each contestant has to update this blog with updated progress pictures.

Prize Money:

If only one contestant completes her design by the deadline, she gets the total amount of money saved by both contestants.

If neither designs are complete, the entire sum of money is to be donated to a charity that is agreed upon by both contestants.

If both complete it on time, the money is divided in the following manner:

60% of the total goes to the contestant who completes* her design first within the deadline.

40% of the total goes to the contestant who completes* her design last within the deadline.

* For EeL, completion means full completion. For Sae, completion for the 60% winner total is 210,400 stitches, with the remainder stitches to be completed by the deadline.
