IT HAS STARTED !!

It is always good when people acknowledge talent. It is even better when that talent is showcased for all to see. What do I mean?? As if it aint obvious! Grand Prix 1 @ BCC on Saturday 22nd November 2008.

Those who were absent missed what was a meet which forced one spectator to ask me this question: " Waitttttttttttttttt( that was how long she held the "t'), dis is a Rising Stars meet?? Evah damn time I look around I seeing dem?'' Here is my answer : " Steupssssssss ( I held my "s"), unfortunately for u I WON"T ANSWER THAT question." The spectator was my friend.

It honestly was about orange, black and white and here are the results to show.
