On Wednesday morning, a bunch of us decided to go sailing! That was an awesome way to start off the morning, with the breath-taking view of Auckland and soaking in some of that sunlight! So the whole bunch of us boarded the American’s Cup yacht and set off sailing. Pretty damn awesome experience!
After lunch I had the honour of being interviewed by the WTV channel news correspondent, and I did the interview entirely in Mandarin. Check it out, if you haven’t seen it on the Royalefm Facebook page yet.
Then it was off to the Qubic store, where we finally got to catch up with our friends Frank, Ivy and Minky Moo Moo. They brought Sue-anne and I to go have the hokey pokey ice cream. No one should leave New Zealand without having a taste of the hokey pokey.
The highlight of my last day in Auckland was the launch party of the DC x Royalefam Circus of Mutants collection. The turnout at the event was overwhelming, it’s almost felt like my super sweet sixteen, haha! Renee Renee, my new buddy (who happens to be really talented), kept everyone well entertained and also hosted the programme for the evening.
I really love and appreciate the amount of hard work and effort put in by the guys who took part in the skateboard art competition. The amount of detail on some of the decks are mind-blowing. But of course, I had to pick the winner. The lucky guy, Gary Grouch, walked away that night a thousand bucks richer, along with a DC prize pack, and a pair of handpainted one-offs from me.
Thanks to everyone, our friends, fans and supporters, who took time off to come to the party. And of course, I’d like to thank the guys at DC and Loaded for making this trip happen, and for throwing such an awesome launch party. Big up goes to Jeremy and his team, for taking care of every detail and nitty gritty stuff leading up to the day of the launch, and of course the team from Loaded for arranging the meet-and-greet. Hopefully I’ll get to see you guys sometime soon, hit me up if you’re going to come to Singapore.
For now it’s back to work for me, more shoes and exciting new projects coming up. Don’t forget to get first-hand updates and stuff from our Royalefam Facebook page, and also you can get connected with the Royalefam crew via Twitter! If you have any cool ideas to share, or something you’d like to see us create, do let us know!
