Lunch at Terminal 3
I had my lunch at the food court of terminal 3 at Singapore Changi Airport. That was many choices, and finally I decided to have the “Poppyes’ Chicken and biscuits” fast food.I choose the 2pcs chicken meal. The mean came with 1 soft drink, 2 pcs chicken and a “biscuit”+ fries. This “biscuit” taste not bad, outside is crispy but in side is soft and cheese tasted, like muffin; unfortunate, maybe I eat too fast, this “biscuit” was stick on the top part of my inner mouth, need to drink some water to “release the stick” biscuit.I am sorry to say, I still prefer Kentucky fried chicken :)p

Singapore Changi Airport - Terminal 3
I went to Singapore Changi Airport quite early today before I start me work at budget terminal today, I went to Terminal 3, the new terminal to have a look. This terminal was really big! Thought Terminal 3 was slightly or bigger then terminal 2 and terminal 1. It was very interesting to being here, because everything seems new, the feeling was real fresh!This picture looks like those architect preview illustration!Other portions of Terminal 3.

Face Reading at Singapore Changi Airport
I had luckily hired in the Singapore Changi Airport’s passenger entertainment 15 days event, started from 7th Mar. My event manager organizer told me I in-charge of palm reading, but when I brought to my working booth, I been informed actually in-charge of face reading! Luckily I learnt that for long time, but the display boards which I prepared was palm reading only! I had prepared my face reading display board yesterday night after gone back home.
First 2 days I had been arranged at “Budget Terminal”, I supposed doing my face reading session at Terminal 3 then Terminal 2 from tomorrow onwards, but when I completed my job, I was instructed keep working at budget terminal tomorrow.
Terminal 3 and Terminal 2 which is normal class to highest class of air plane’s terminal, I wish Monday I will be arranged doing my session either at terminal 2 or terminal 3, because I am not a “budget” fortune teller seriously.

Just a day
When to Registry of Companies at Tanjung Pagar , International Plaza to do some stuff of my company, as long as I go that area, I must eat the mutton curry from "Nan Nan Curry" at the 5th floor food court that link to Amara Hotel!When to IT Show 2008 at Suntec City, quite crowded, I intend to buy a Mp3 player; after looking a round, found that too many choices, can’t made decision which one to buy. Good branded Mp3 player mostly can play up Mp4 music but is higher price, I found one unknown branded was much more function that any good branded, but do not know how long it can be long lasted. Met Mc Guire of A Lucas Events doing his promotion show!After a meaty lunch, I should have a more vegetables dinner! So I choose to eat the Korean food “Bibimbak”.

Caricature drawing
Drawing caricature for public was not an easy job. It was different from dinner and dance or those special occasion parties or events. The public was come from all levels of educated people, means not everyone appreciates or know your art, whether you are an junior art student or you are a senior professor with doctorate/ master degree in art etc, the person being drawn in public events could give you a bad comment without thinking who you are, unless you are an Caucasian, a very foreigner looks artists, then they will treat you in a different way, this is the real world in Singapore.
I like the Malay guests, in my caricature artist life, they are the best, because they always respect you, respect your art, local Chinese, other than those nice peoples, they will give bad comment you on the spot in front of you regardless they are well educated or not; at least this is common in Singapore as my personal experience.
Basically, any local caricaturist sure will experience the same thing before; they cannot deny it, not because my skill but is the artistic taste level of the person being drawn. Those caricaturists who laugh at me for this, they actually insulting themselves, because they can’t avoid the same thing as what it happened to me; my 16 years experiences in the event industry confirmed this.
A senior art lecture said I can’t even draw side view caricature after he viewed my event; ops! I am not narrowing minded as him, because majority guest do not know how their side view looks like, they can’t accept the side view caricature. I searched many caricaturists’ website, few artist do it in side view.
I do not do any “special effect” for the guest being drawn (like pull the face long or wide) because most of the people cannot accept it. Other caricaturists who laugh at me, end up also do the drawing without add in “special effect”, because of the pressure from the guests. This is not western country, people can’t really accept they caricature being drawn in a surprise way.
