Fortune Teller for Events
Fortune telling is one of the popular pre event booking items.
Basically, it can be categorized in 2 types:
which more belonging Western type or either Eastern type.
For western type, Numerology, Tarot Card reading, Crystal, Crystal stone reading is commonly seen. Tea leaf fortune telling as you seen in Harry Potter movie which I had ever seen was done by Angela Yip so far.
Renae's tarot card and numerology fortune telling.
Paul's Crystal stone reading.
Graphology, which commonly known as Hand writing Character Analysis is one item that people thought it belonging to fortune telling category but it actually not, it belonging to statistic type of human character analysis according the graphologist, it is Science, claimed by them.
For eastern type, Palm reading is of the common item.
The latest eastern type fortune telling which I seen in recent years including ‘Yi Jing’ or ‘E Jing’ (易经）fortune telling, Chinese poker card reading during pre events, as I know, specialist who doing event is rare, not because having rare master, but related master who can speaking English is rare due to conversation in English is essential during the event booking.
Most of the eastern type fortune telling was commonly seen in the ‘Shanghai Theme’, “Eastern Theme’, Chinese Culture theme and Chinese New Year period.
One of the unique eastern type can be seen is the Indian Parrot‘s Card ‘fortune telling, which the Indian master will get his Parrot pick one of the pre-written fortune telling card on the table to the Indian master (its owner), the card being picked was your fortune of the day ;p

Event Caricaturist Day!
6.30pm – 7.30pm, 11th, December, Friday, 2009!
6.30pm – 7.30pm, 18th, December, Friday, 2009!
That was many event companies asking for caricaturist to do their dinner and dance since 2 months ago, as per usual, the above date and timing is the hot date for caricaturists’ pre-event booking.
Does it mean the economy of the market had picked up?
I don’t think so, because is just happened the whole Singapore island’s related companies having dinner and dance from 6.oo pm onwards.
Train 500 caricaturists to meet the ‘Caricaturists Day’ to meet the market’s need?
Wrong question! From my experiences, it only occurs 1 to 3 times within each year so far.
There are up and down period within the year, it could happened that continuously no events caricaturists demand or having super low demand, for example like the period that having H1N1 cases, many caricaturists will try to look for job and trying hard to check which competitor is undercutting them. Haahaa!
6.30pm – 7.30pm, 11th, December, Friday, 2009, can do pre-event caricature?
6.30pm – 7.30pm, 18th, December, Friday, 2009, can do pre-event caricature?
As an event caricaturist, please ask yourself how many places you can go in above mentioned time frame?
Clone 50 of you so made the 50 cloned ‘you’ grab the entire job?
Nope! Because the 50 cloned you already a real human, ‘they’ need to use the money to survive (just like eat, drink, clothing and related expenses)
My idea is getting 50 ‘Surrogates’ of me (a robot which made exactly like me, see Bruce Willis’s movie), so after the 50 ‘Me’ done the entire job, just back home and past me the earned $, and then all of them go back to the cupboard and sleep (or charging electricity)!
Hia hia!

Caricature at Jurong Bird Park
Just did a caricature for a dinner and dance’s fringe activity at Jurong Bird Park yesterday. I almost lost after struggling finding the actual event venue. 
I saw my friend doing their rehearsal in this amphitheater, I thought my booking venue is here; luckily I call up the event company who hired me and found out the right place. Phew!
I managed to take some bird photos.

Product Launch Event
That was very interesting that I got a chance doing a special product launch related event for Microsoft, which arranged by an event company.
Met William Lee
and Diana Lim in this event.
Three of us had been arranged completing 77 caricatures within an hour’s booking; the ‘7’ is representing the make over of the new version of Microsoft’s operation system.My lunch and dinner of the day.
The New Casino
Passing by city area and saw the new casino was almost done. According the news, the roof top portion of this building will be completing before next year’s Chinese New Year. Hopefully it will attract many tourists to Singapore and all the local entertainers will get more jobs! Heehee!

Interesting Wedding Car Deco
Passing by my house downstairs’ car park and saw this wedding car decoration which using soft toys! That was my first time seeing such decoration.
Just Few Night Night Photos
Met some friends at Depot road area and after that take a night walk at the area surrounding.
Found this big well designed display was stunning great in night!
It is 'The Interlace' new condos as in the newspaper recently I saw.
Just took a walk on the high bridge opposite of the Hort Park Singapore.
Interesting high bridge (or walking track)
There are somebody jogging down there at night time!
There were some pub and restaurant near by at the other end of this area (which nearby NOL or PSA building), I am just first time here.
Seems this area is called ‘Little Bali’.
Interesting Bali style buildings.

Taxi Driver which does not know the road name!
That was quiet frustrated that today about 3.05pm I wanted to take a taxi to Singapore Island Country Club Singapore for a meeting at the taxi stand that just next to Ang Mo Kio MRT.
I saw there are at least 5 taxis queuing at this taxi stand.
When I sit into this taxi (vehicle number SH something and follow by the number 6024 and some alphabetical) and I told him I wanted to go Singapore Island Country Club, this Chinese old man about 60+ told me he did not know the place, so he do not go there! He waive his hand (means don’t do me business) even I try to pass my street directory map to him.
I hate this type of unprofessional taxi driver!
So I get out of this taxi and try to copy down his number, he quickly drive a way so I can’t really copy down the full detail of his vehicle number.
When I go into the taxi behind him, this Chinese taxi driver who in his 60+ driver also trying to do the same thing to me but he stopped it after he remember he saw me copied down the taxi number in front him just now.
So he got no choice have to fetch me to the destination indicated by me.
Of course, I really past the street directory map to him for reference.
I hardly understand that why so many taxi drivers don’t know how to go to many roads and as a taxi driver, most of them not even has a street directory which cost Singapore dollar $12.90 including GST?
Maybe I am the only passenger in this small country who facing this problem?

The Art of Control the Crowd III
Through controlling of the queue, you can see many kinds of peoples; like their attitude, the way their reactions…..and their ‘Creativities’.
As a professional event artist, I always try my best to draw as much caricature as possible and try maintain the best quality within such time frame as I can.
In some type of events (usually in companies’ family days) , if there are 10 peoples in your queue, it doesn’t means there are really having 10 peoples queuing for your drawing, it could be multiple of the amount!
What I mean is: while I think this lady is the next person to be drawn in my queue, she does not sit down but will waive her hands and get both of her sons and husband cut the queue to sit down and get drawn instead!
Based on this scenario, if one person queuing for 2 family members, you are going to draw 30 persons even though there are only 10 persons in the queue. That is the unexpected circumstances you need to handle.
Of course, people come to family day is to enjoy, there are many free gifts can be taken home and everyone just wanted to ensure each of their family members having the gifts, that is understood.
Unfortunately, we, the entertainers in-charged of producing free gifts might not able to fulfill every single guest’s need due to ensure the event running smoothly within the event’s time frame.
