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!

Fairfield Methodist School (Secondary) - Appreciation Dinner

Thanks to Joel's invitation, got to join in the fun of preparing for his former school's Appreciation Dinner. The plan was to decorate the venue and making table centre pieces. Was still a little little rush, but a great improvement from the previous event with Joel. Cheers! =)

This was counted to be my first balloon decoration job, and though it may not be very grand or well done in professional view, it was a great experience. Had fun playing with helium too!

Here're some photos of our work:

Balloon twisting @ Sembawang's Mac

Not an official gig there, was simply over there with a secondary school friend. Wanted to teach him some balloons sculptures for him to do for his friend's coming birthday. Managed to do up an Elmo and walked him through making one. All the best with it man! =)
The funny thing was that after the Elmo was completed, suddenly someone placed a sticky note from inside of the Mac, saying that one of his friend wanted a balloon, and guess what, he wanted the Elmo. Lol. So the Elmo got given away, forgot to take a picture of it with the receiver. Then after a while, more of the friends from the same group came over and asked for some balloons. Happily did some for them, and left soon after that. Haha, an interesting experience. If not wrong, they're the Frisbee playing people at the Sembawang basketball court. Hi if you're reading this! (Though not really possible. =/)

Workshop with NUS Community Service Club - Grant A Wish VII

It was Friday and Glen volunteered to conduct a balloon twisting workshop for my school's Community Service Club (CSC), for their Grant A Wish VII project. Glen, Baofa, Givan, Winnie and myself went down to conduct and assist in this workshop. It was a fun workshop, and thinking how happy the kids would be when they receive balloon sculptures from the CSC people really made all the teaching efforts worthwhile. Look forward to work with them again!

Sunflower for my gal =)

Went to meet my gal after her work today, and sat at Hong Lim Park to do up this sunflower. Had fun doing it, with some curious looks from people passing by while heading home.

Both gal and myself are more satisfied with this version of sunflower. 
Do let me know if you would like to give it to someone as a gift, will be more than happy to make this for you. =)

Wedding Dinner

Went to attend my Cousin's wedding dinner last night, and enjoyed it. Hope that they'll have a blissful marriage for a long time. =)
While I was there, I decided to do something special for my cousin, the bride. Started to work on a puff heart wand, and luckily, completed it in time when they reached our table for the toasting and photo taking. Hopefully she'll be sending me the photo so I can share it over here!
Also did some balloons for another cousin's son. Enjoyed playing with him, really an adorable kid!

Balloon Line work @ Tanglin CC + Semi Jamming at VivoCity

Went to Tanglin CC to do some line work, and was overwhelmed by the number of kids queuing for balloons. Got down to business soon and together with Baofa, Veronica and Irene, manage to fulfill most of the requests, as well as stop on time.
After that, the four of us went to vivo for dinner, and headed to the top floor to do some balloons for fun. Someone playing truth or dare came to ask for a balloon and was stunned by me giving her a simple scrape in a shape of a ball, but I shortly made it up by passing her the sunflower I made. Credits to David and Joel's video for the sunflower, and David for the parts that make up the butterfly (The caterpillar has grown up!). Here're some photos.

Assisting Vivien in overnight decoration at Northpoint,

The theme for the event was marine life, and the whole gang of us were ready to provide as much help as we could offer. Hours were quite challenging (10pm-8am), and most of us were extremely tired nearing morning. Nevertheless, we made it through.
