The last Elmo for the day. =)

The staff of Meritus Mandarin have planned and organised a Christmas Celebration with the objective of bringing joys to some 20 children from the Children’s Aid Society, Melrose Home. Lucas and myself were engaged to sculpture balloons for the children and we have were very surprized that this group of children have learnt Magic and Balloons and was a challenge for both of us to perform Magic and Balloons show to them as they will try to point out how the magic works. But we have enjoyed and have a great time with the staff and children from the home. Hope that there will be more organisation putting more time like what the staff of Meritus Mandarin have done for 2009 Christmas!

3 Cheers! Yeah!

This was one of the best brithday party that I have attended so far. Alpha Plus was engaged for a birthday party and not too surprize that most of the kids are girls as we are celebrating birthday for a pretty girl, Clare. It was also my first time performing magic at kids party and I have enjoyed the surprized and laughter of my audience. Can't bear to leave the party towards the end, especially, the children at the party. Will treasure and keep this photos in my special album. =)

Entreprenuership Project at Causeway Point

A blue rose for my pupil. Wish her Youth forever. =)

Tigger.. Bang! Bang!

Was very happy and excited when we were at Causeway Point sculpturing balloons to raise the sales amount for Serangoon Garden Secondary School. This event was organised by Singapore Republic Polytechnic. The colours and the beautiful art of balloons draw in crowds. The sculptures we made were immediately sold off until the officials from Republic Polytechnics gave us a "YELLOW CARD" by saying: Only pupils who registered for this project can twist balloons and sell. Else, the team will be disqualified.

Before we received the warning, we have already sculptured many and sold many. Opsss! XP

NUS Community Service Club: Grant A Wish VII 2009

The National University of Singapore was where I graduated from 10 years ago. I spent my 3 years in the University studying, swimming, studying and swimming. Community Service never come across to me as an important issue then. Being able help the less fortunate, I was very happy. Seems that the day that I was equipped with the small talent to twist balloons and able to teach balloon twisting, we have never reject or disappoint any charity organisation to give free balloon twisting workshops. Whether to raise funds or to entertain the less fortunate or other purposes, Alpha Plus Consultancy, APC, will always be more willing to give our full support! Yeah!

PAssion to sculpture balloons is in every balloonist in Alpha Plus. No matter where we go, the place will more often be filled with balloons. We twist balloons for our foreign visitors at the hotel, We busk whenever we have the time to meet. We just feel like and want to make the place filled with joy and colours.

An opportunity to build up our confidence? A test of our creativity? An avenue for us to trian our speed? A place for us to make new friends? And many many ??? Yeah!

New freinds found at Singapore Botanical Garden

On 24th Oct 09, APC balloonists, Veronica and Elyn, were invited to sculpture balloons for a 1 year old birthday party. This was the first time that we went to Singapore Botanical Garden for a birthday party celebration and we were quite amazed as there were so much changes. I still remembered the last visit was some 20 years ago when my parents brought me there. Its a nice place to relax and admire the beautiful scenery and also to meet nice people. We have made friends with a group of people having picnic there. We 'barter' trade balloon sculptures with food and drinks.

On the same day, Pek Kio CC, having an appreciation dinner. Our Magic Interest Group members went there an hour earlier to decorate the restaurant with balloons. We have a lot of fun exchanging balloons and magics. This is our usual whenever we meet up. Yeah!
