Junior College Diner & Dance
I was doing a caricature drawing for National Junior College diner & dance, 90% of the guests was Junior College students. It was surprised that was some students presenting their strings quartet classical music; it was my first time I saw students’ performance during diner & dance for pre-diner event. How nice was that! Luckily I was sitting beside them, I enjoyed their music a lot!

I can’t remember when I ate steamboat last time, should be quiet long ago. This restaurant was opened by a TCS star! And the food was really nice; it was different from other type of steamboat I every came across so far.

Very nice sauce! Definitely will come again.
Thanks Vivien, next time must treat her and her boyfriend down here! Heehee!

Wire Crafts
Met Josie Tan, the Wire craft artist in the event, she made a keychain for me. That was very nice. As I know, other than her, artist who doing wire craft also including William Lee, Vivien of Zephydom and Mdm Tang.
Talking about keychain, there also having caricature shrink art. Below was a caricature drawn on a special piece of transparency, and then put in the micro oven, it will shrink down and became harden, the bigger size drawing will be shrinked from 2.5inch to 1inch, it was very quite and interesting.
Other than that, I also came across another type of keychain making during the event, that was writing your name into rice, then seal it in small container with chemical liquid. The person I know who do this was Zai. I know her and her friend Azziah at Orchard during we doing busking 3 years ago.

Rainny day
I was so long never go Orchard to do my busking (drawing caricature at the road side) due to busy of doing some researching stuffs. Basically Singapore had been raining often, if no wrong, last year totally having approximately 2 months was having smoke surrounding the country due to Indonesia’ s forest fire, and having 60% of the day was raining.
Usually during Christmas I may have some business while I draw at Orchard road, but this year, thought 70% (or more) of the days was rainy day (like today).
Thought this year will be a ‘Snowy Christmas’ in Singapore (I mean snowy = rainy).
Thought life was a bit tough, luckily covered by some event jobs to survive.

Met Yunos!
I met Yunos, Zaki’s brother many years ago, at least 6 to 7 years ago. Seldom see him until last year. He said he was married and based his business at Indonesia, not bad men brother!
Now met him during an event while they hired Yunos and I as their caricaturists.
Look at our ‘fatness’, am I looks like Yunos or Yunos looks like me?
He got more hair to me! Must go Beijing 101 or Yunnan Haircare or Stevenson?
Another event with make-up
I thought I do not want to try any job with make-up any more, but last year-end had a Christmas series job, the event company hired some professional make-up artists to do it for their entire artist.
It was fun and excited! I met lots different artist like contortionists, mime, balloonists, magicians, foreign fashion models as well behind the stage! We are different from the public; at least this time my feeling was very different!
Ziv was the one who do the make-up for me; she’s the head of the make-up teams! She’s pretty and sexy!!! Please make sure to arrange such make-up artist for me for every event ok! Heehee! Thought my 'Uncle face' need professional make-up artist to handle lah.
Taken this picture while Ziv’s assistants doing make up for the contortionist.
Ziv was doing the final checking and additional make-up for her.
She’s the one! So beautiful! I should sing: “Your beautiful, your beautiful….”
Unforturnately did not get her contact. Ouch!
Met Vivien in the event! She was very beautiful as well! She had a very handsome and tall boyfriend!
