Chingay 2010!

Recess week was partially burned by Chingay 2010, and I can say I have totally no regrets! (Not till I go for the tests and get my results that is. =P)
Alpha Plus Consultancy got the chance to work with Jalan Bersa CC to produce nearly 20 balloon dresses for girls to put on and parade with, along with their Samba theme this year. APC also provided the crowd with pre-show entertainment with our balloonists going up close to the audiences and giving away balloons to them!
As for the preparation of the balloon dresses, I had the chance to work with a great bunch of people. Including David, Jessica, Gabriel, Debra, Glen, Chun Kiat, Baofa, Jastina, Jocelyn, Irene, Irene's mum, Joel, Stephen, Elyn, Valarie, Kun Rong, Jia Nie, Joanne,Wei long, and also the girls like June, Felicia and the rest of the girls! Phew, hope I didn't miss out anyone. 
All in all, the whole process had been a blast. Learnt a lot of things, experience a lot of new stuff. Met a lot of new people. Great, just great. =)
Enough of talking, time for some photos!

Balestier Hill Run - Pek Kio MIG

Pek Kio Magic Interest Group (MIG) had the chance to set up a promotional booth on 6th September, during a marathon like event held in Balestier Hill Secondary School. So we went down and had a blast of a time!

First Paid Balloon Gig.

When I was twisting a bunny for an indian family during the President Challenge event, the father of the family asked if we do parties as well. Referred him to Glen, and was delighted when the gig was allocated to me! The job was to entertain a crowd of kids during a birthday lunch @ Dempsey Hill, Vintage India, the following day, where the youngest daughter of the family was the birthday gal. Thankfully, Irene was free to assist me in the gig, and here are some photos of the party. Sadly we didn't manage to take many of them, as we were busy twisting for all the excited kids. =)

I'm very pleased with this balloon-ing experience. Had fun with the kids. =)
