Wai-Con 2012 Competition disallowed Monkey King

Wai-Con 2012 was an Anime convention has its own cosplay competition. It is solely promoted Japanese animes, mangas, and video games.

Unfortunately it disallowed Monkey King for entering the competition.

However the Monkey King cosplay was allowed to walk around the convention floor.

Wai-Con 2012 Cosplay Competition was another cosplay competition which rejected the Chinese origin character.

Wai-Con 2012 event started on 28 January 2012 and ended on 29 January 2012. This event was also a fun place to go to.

I was present wearing Monkey King cosplay at Madman Cosplay Competition in Perth Western Australia on 25 June 2011. After the competition finished everyone waited outside for the result. John Robertson with the official judges came out to present awards to winners.
All my friends went home during the wait.

I thought I would never won the competition. I silently whispered to God saying that I would still a happy man even if I lost this competition.

At around 6:20pm John Robertson announced that "The Best Cosplay award goes to the Monkey King". Thanks God I could smile almost in tears when everyone applauded at me during the award presentation.

I stood on the stage as the last cosplayer at Madman Regular Cosplay competition at Supa Nova on Saturday 25 June 2011.

I played the skit-play based on the Chinese drama when the Monkey King was on the Buddha palm, wrote a sentence on one of Buddha fingers. I spent about 5 minutes doing the skit-play and another 5 minutes being interviewed by John Robertson (the MC).

This is my first ever being on a stage as a cosplayer, I was so nervous until I even haven't talked anything to John. I saw Kim Dao and I saw Eugene O'Sullivan. Fortunately someone recorded a video of me.

At the end before I left the stage, Eugene lifted up his camera and pointed at me. Before he pressed the shutter button, I gave him my best pose ever.
After that everyone went outside waiting for the competition results.
