The Earlier Coming Chinese New Year in 2012
That will be many events activities and promotions during Chinese New Year period, especially the weeks before Chinese New Year.
The 2012's Chinese New Year was happened in a really early date, which at 23th January 2012 (first of Chinese New Year) instead of every years' about 4th-6th February for first day of Chinese New year.
Meanwhile, there were really less than a month for and Chinese New Year related commercial activities to be held. If look around around, you will noticed that on the 2nd day of the Christmas Day, you starting to hear many shopping mall playing Chinese New Year related theme songs and the decoration worker was rushing to put on Chinese New Year related decorations.
We only got about 21 days left for related Chinese New Year theme stuffs promotion since 2012's Chinese New Year Eve fall on 22nd January 2012. It became very tight schedule for all the related event set up.

Event at Orchard Road Area

Entertainer Who perform using only Microphone: Comedian and Music Instrument Performance using Special Skill
Beside Emcee and singers who using their talking/ conversations or speech skills during the events, I met 2 special entertainers recently, they are using their special skill to present their talent through microphone; the first one I like to highlight is Charles Beatboxer.
Charles, is an entertainer who able to create many different sound of music instrument by using his mouth through the microphone.
I had seen Charles performing in Orchard road many times and met him so many times in many events but no chance to see his stage performance due to always rushing for other shows or appointment after the job done for the event booking.
I had seen Charles' performing in Orchard few times, then few years later, which I met him during a company's Xmas party weeks ago, I found his skill really improved a lot and having fantastic performance.
Charles had combine some songs in his "Music instrument playing simulated by mouth", meanwhile he was singing and play the "music instrument by mouth" at the same time! The was gorgeous! I believe he had a real bright future ;p
Another great Comedian i came across just few days ago was this Caucasian (ang mo) who performing at "The Loof" for a company's annual dinner.
His great stunning skill was he can speak so many local language like Hokien, Mandarin, Thai Language and etc. If you hear him speak Thai without seeing his face, you might though just a thaiees speaking, if you hear him speaking indian language without seeing his face, you can;t believe he is an "Ang mo"! ...that kind of level! Haahaa! What a talent!

Up to today (7 Dec) still having many people inquire caricaturist for 9th December Friday 6.30pm-7.30pm event like dinner and dance or Christmas Party. 9 Dec really a super hot date for events fringe art activities!
I repeat again: Many event companies had asking the same item same timing and same day since early October, so that will be very difficult to get caricaturist since November i guess, unless they managed to get art students to do fulfill the requirement.
An experienced caricaturist who doing commercial events like dinner and dance and dance, the quantities to be produce at least 12-20pcs drawing within an hour's booking, other than that, he or she should know how to bring in the entertainment atmosphere to the event as well as know how to handle the crowd.
Based the past experiences on the below hot date of booking caricaturists and silhouette artists, the event peoples and whoever who like to hire such fringe activities, seems they have to make decision fast enough, else just try avoid this hot date.
