Magic Day at Arena

Went to Arena at Clarke Quay and attended for ‘Magic day’ by Singapore’s famous Magician JC Sum and Magic Babe Ning the most famous female magician in Singapore.

I knew met JC Sum many years ago and met Ning in the event few times in past years; and finally I having a chance and time to go to their event! At least felt better to give a little support for them after a year’s ongoing magic performance at Arena Clarke Quay by JC Sum and Ning.

Magic Babe Ning’s performance really professional and very high standard! Fabulous and suer super SEXY!!!!!

I have a chance to take photo with both of them! The famous magician in Singapore!!!Many people was attending the event!

Roving Caricaturist

Seems most of my caricature booking was in a roving style which holding my drawing board to the guests and draw them. I am not sure whether roving caricature drawing had been became a trend or not.Basically, roving artists were commonly requested by the event organizers; hence, as a professional entertainer, we must be able to do roving anytime upon request or based the circumstances.

The good things about doing roving, we felt more freedom to do our job and mostly emphasizes on our showmanship which need to know how we present our drawing in the events, how to create an entertaining atmosphere to the event etc.

The difficult of doing roving caricature was the guest being drawing could be moving too often, some other guests just do not care what is happening and just cross between you and your guest being drawn especially in an event with crowded guests and waiter/waitress, other than crossing by between you and the person being drawing that could be someone accidentally push your body or your hands and caused the drawing in an unexpected outcome.

Hence doing roving caricature, other then try your best to do a looks alike drawing and merge it in your drawing styles, you need to just like Jackie Chan or Jet Li in their kung fu movie which need to handle many distractions like after somebody walk across between you and your guests being drawn, you still need to take care not accidentally push by someone, not accidentally pushing someone or blocking the entrance or blocking people’s view on the projector screen etc etc. one more thing: the narrow of the working space like in a restaurant, the more difficult for us to work; you really need another level of skills to handle all this.

In children parties, if you are lucky, you can meet a lots of young guests that able to sit stills and let you them, else they could be running around and very impatient to be drawn, this could be a tough job. Haahaa!

Drawing in a very dim light places? In a dim light, you need to have a strong drawing basic skill and experiences, because the detail of the face of the guest was less due to dim lighting. I don’t think you bring a mini torch can solve the problem, it need some skills I had been mentioned just now.Drawing with roving in a very dim light places especially like a pub that having many blinking lighting effect? It is another type of tough job, much more skills and experiences and energy to be required! Heehee!

Safety Staircase

Went Chinatown bought a feng shui ‘gold money’ for my house. According the book, you should put and metal stuffs at the north of your house/ office so you can avoid any undesirable bad luck in 2009.Just took a walk in a place behind the shop houses and found some interesting stuffs to be framed in my photography artworks.I was so lucky that having this cute cat pose for me!Modern safety staircase!

Roving Caricature and Silhouette Cutting

Went Holiday Inn Atrium Singapore to do a roving caricatures and silhouette cutting.The VIP was doing the openning.Even though I do event in this hotel many times for many years, this is my first time to look up to the inner building! Haahaa!One of my favourite food at Tiong Bahru Plaza before I go to my event.

Big Body Kai Lan and Sharks Steak

Bought this big body Kai Lan from NTUC supermarket, my first time cook kai lan in such size. I just cut it in small slices to ensure it easier to get cook.Just display it in Chinese’s ‘Ba Gua’ matrix. Heehee!Another new ingredient which is I going to try in my first time as well!My typical cooking way! Haahaa!Hmm..I just realized the way to cook and the ingredients for sharks meat is different, not suitable with my ginger chicken ingredients, thought the mushroom XO sauce which I use few days ago to cook the salmon is much better for this sharks steak.

Cooking to me is an art, just like my caricature, having many things to learn in a long going way. Heehee!

Event at St James Power Station Singapore

Went St James Power Station for an event last week. St James Power Station is a great place for clubbing and dining.Eileen Wee was in the event doing Emcee.Airbrush tatto artists Ivan and Lee Lee was in the event as well, I just forgot to take some photo of them.Scene from ‘War of the World’ movie down here? Is Tom Cruse operating this machine down there? Haahaa! St James Power Station just next to the cargo loading station.

Salmon with XO Sauce

Just tried cook this dish found on newspaper yesterday. I just used the vegetarian XO sauce which still left in my fridge instead using normal XO sauce.As per this recipe: 400g Salmon, 2 spoons XO sauce, 10 small onions, 2 tea spoon ‘Hua Diao’ Chinese cooking wine, ½ tea spoon sugar, 1 tea spoon soy sauce.Fried the onions, then add in OX sauce, follow by salmon fish.
Add in the pre-made sauces while the salmon turn golden/ yellow color and cook in a fast way and that’s it!Mmmm..nice! Finally I have a new dish to cook!
