A long over-dued update

Hey everyone!

It has been a long time since I've posted anything here, and that's due to the final semester in University.

Finally school's over, and into the working world!

Will still be doing events and balloons on a part time basis, and even if I'm not free, many of our other balloonists will be, so don't hesitate to look for me if you need any party solutions!

Here's some updates since the last post. =)

Did a few events here and there, and here's a few of them!

1.) Balloon decoration and sculpting at a condo's function room, Birthday Party.

2.) Another Birthday Party, got invited by Izzy, who runs a party events company. She and her colleagues do excellent face painting!

[Birthday girl: "I wish everyday is my birthday.". Boy beside her in yellow shirt: "Hurry up, I want that cake!"]

[Yay!]

3.) People Association's Course Coordinators' Network Workshop cum Balloon Dress Parade

This event deserves some special elaboration. It was supposed to be a networking and 'have-fun' session for the course coordinators from various CCs, and also a chance for them to experience how a balloon workshop is conducted. So I thought just having fun would be the main priority. Little did I know that all the other balloonists conducting the other workshops are so detailed and prepared for their balloon dress! So I had to improvise (borrowed idea from Chingay) and attempted my first balloon dress. I think it needs more work, but hey, it was hell of a fun experience! Thanks to Ken, my assistant, for his help, as well as Ivy, the model, for being a good sport. Also thanks to Siew Ching from PA for inviting us.

Balloon Sculpturing or Sculpting?

Seems like there's two way of saying what we do. But both are fine to me!

Basically, entertainment of the crowd with balloons is what we do. So let me know if you need any of such party solutions for any upcoming parties!

Balloon Decoration, Xmas Party, Birthday Party! =)

Hey World,

Recently had the chance to work with Ms Lily Tan, an excellent balloon artist, on her balloon decoration assignment at The Fullerton Hotel. Learnt a lot from her. Here're some photos:

Then, we also went to this beautiful house to colour up their Xmas Eve party with our balloons! The place was jaw-dropping-ly HUGE! Can't tell you where is it, or who lives here, but it's really, REALLY HUGE!

Last but certainly not least, just yesterday I did a balloon sculpturing party at Bottle Tree Park, for this lovely 1 year old girl. Very cute girl! Thanks Sharon and your family for the great hospitality! Didn't take a lot of photos, but here's to the lovely mother and daughter! =)

Doraemon!

Got a request from a friend to make his girlfriend a Doraemon! 

Keep these requests coming in! =)

Marche~!

Yes! Marchè!

Ok, before more is said about Marchè, here's why I've not updated this blog for so long..

Studies!

What else right? So yeah, had my hands tied for this past few months with both exams, internship, studies, project works, and all other whatnots. Blogging now is already a luxury! So lets keep it short, shall we?

I had the chance to work in Marchè for the past 2 months or so.

No, I'm not there as a waiter or your dear Rosti cook. Here's some photos of what I was up to~

[Took this on my first day~]

[Cute bunch of ladies, jia you in school!]  

[This girl is so adorable, so shy and had to coax and beg and 'threaten' to have this photo taken! xD]

[And she came again! =)]

If you want to come look for me, or just by chance you're planning to go to Marchè soon, do come on Saturdays, 1pm -3pm, because that's when I'll be appearing there weekly! (Say the password "Balloonbydesmond" for a super special balloon I'll make especially for you!) =P

Alright, that's all for now. Take care! =)

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!
