Next up!
Okie, Next up!!!

I feel that this year has been great to me. Not just the new found job that I really really love. But also many things that happened along the way.

Thanks you for coming into my life and making me feel loved again. I have to let you go because I cannot help myself from worrying that you are neglected because of me. May we meet again in near future.

My 2nd love in life FINALLY knows what happened 6 years ago between me and her. (That was abit dumb actually) We finally clear things up but it was well 6 years wasted. End to end, it means that we have no fate together ba. Good luck with your career and your love!!! GET MARRIED SOON!!!

My 3rd love in life, this is the hardest one, because like I said, I ended it so badly that I hate myself for it and seeing her how she lived her life then, I really wanted to go forward, give her a hug or even go on knees for forgiveness. Well, I went out with her recently, a good start like 4 years ago. And I finally get to see her again. I was really happy that day, I hope she is. We chatted alot, like many stuffs, her work, my work, etc. And I hope she is happy that day also. :) Well, Lets hope we go out more often in the near future.

So basically, this year has been really nice to me, minus off the rashes outbreak that I had and currently still have. I glad things worked out and the sky are clearing. Of course, if time can go back, I make sure I do everything right, but who doesn't want that? So don't live in regret, do your best, answer for your actions, and if its wrong, its wrong, don't repeat it again. :)

Christmas Season
This year.. I will say, makes no different to me.

I wanted to enjoy myself, go out and chiong, etc etc.. Go out with friends.. But then, MY FREAKING RASHES CAME BACK!! GOD DAMN IT!! LOL!!

Okie, its not that bad, not as worse as the first time, but surprisingly, it affects my limbs only. And that happens 2 days after I went for the camp in Sunday. :( Hai..

So now I here, trying to recover from the spotty hands. Haha!! So for christmas, just went out for a spin and then came back to sleep le. Since on the eve, we had shows till like 10 plus, so ya. Better to rest more or else the rashes cant heal.

As for Ultimate Magic, time really flies and we are entering into Season 2 soon. :) I will update on the list of promotional things going on in UM 2 soon. But right now. More rest and update later..

Something Ironic
Well, Looking at my Tag, you are wondering what is so ironic..

The truth is yesterday, my aunt and the family came back from their Korea ICE Trip.. Zzz.. So sad for me not able to go, Hai..

Anyway, it means my family is there, my uncle's family is there when I reach home. So cascually, we are chatting and my auntie-in-law (I wonder got such name anot) ask me what I working as. Then I told her, Magician. Then she ask what the company doing. Then I told her Magic. She seems confused and ask again, and I replied the same thing again. (Technically speaking, we not just do Magic, We are an Entertainment Company that focus on Marketing and Promoting Client's need using Magic as the tool) So actually, I din answer my auntie-in-law correctly.

But here come the ironic part, MY MOM KNOWS NOTHING!!! She is the most lost among us when she say, "I thought you working in a electronic company?" Well, in the record, if I work in a electronic company, why will I work in the night, second, why will i have such a big bag of magic tools, third, why will my grandma, my aunt keep mentioning about J C SUM, a very good magician? Fourth, why will I told my aunt that I invite her for our show in Arena, which is my working place?

So this show something, she din even bother to really understand what I am doing, every month she will just ask, "Have you transferred the money?" Which whenever she asked, I find it annoying. Of course anything she asked after this question will be a turn off to me, not to mention if its about my work. Very simply, in communication, it works this way, either, you lead the person to the important msg when talking, or you throw the important msg immediately you start. Example, A boss came over and say, "print this chunk for me" You will do it and anything after that will be the least important to you, even when he say, how are you feeling today etc.. Because his concern is not as important anymore, even though there is still some. So the second boss came over and ask about you today, then ended up with, hey i got a chunk here need to be print. And hand over to you. Will you be happy to do it for him and still happy that he show his concern?

Ya thats the part. If my mom have been doing the correct approach everytime, she will have know me better. Seriously..

Oh well, I can't be bothered. :) LOL!!

Correction!
Okie, for my previous post regarding my 2nd Show.

I like to highlight that the show is not bad. In the end, the audience did enjoyed themselves, the EP is happy with the show, and I got a great time.

Just in case some people thought that something happened in the show. No.. Everything is good.

So the only thing is myself. I not true to myself and does not bring out the essence of what I should be. Stage Character, to be clear. I will say, Magicians are just like actors, there are season actors that can adapt into the style easily, whereas, newbies will have lots of trouble finding in the tone. 

I watching more videos now, learning how it feels to be like one. :)

2nd Show
Well, just like the post said, today i had my 2nd show. Its a RC Show at Serangoon.

So how does it fare? I will say badly. Not because 2 of our top supervisors are down to take a look. But because I stumped so many times. I was so lost for quite a number of moments. Maybe because this is the first time I doing RC, maybe this is only my 2nd show. But maybe, I trying to find an excuse for myself. So I shouldn't do that, the main reason is, I SUCKS!

Ya I pretty sucks badly, I keep duplicating people's act that there is no "ME" in my show. Ya I realised it now. 

So the end result now is, Finding myself and putting it into the game. I am not someone else, I am Larry, The Escape Guy. Also known as "Jackie Chan of Escapes".

My first Show
After quite some time, I finally have a taste of my own show yesterday at Shangri-La Hotel. Lets back date abit.

As we are very busy with our work in Arena and also in Office, due to Christmas, there are quite a number of things to do, purchases, exports, imports, you name it. So off and on, I practised my routine, but din get to do it properly. So since the last week, I have been running the whole thing myself.

As for arena, I going to be out of job soon because someone is taking over me.. Hai.. JUST JOKING!! Well, I trained Adeline to handle my task as my show is going to clash into the Arena Show. So before yesterday come, I was so worried about my show.

So what happened yesterday? I arrived at the Waterfall Terrace, heart pounding like siao, Shawn is there to guide me and help me. Threw me some advise on how to handle situations that are unforeseen, like the stage is covered by gifts la, the crowd is non local. So the position of my props are repositioned, but it doesn't affect the show.

The show started, with me running in and then I feel the nerves rushing into me, and I stumped with my words abit. Phew!! After my first act, I more or less warmed up, and I got great response from the audience, which makes me happy and relax also. Through out the whole show, there is no major hiccups, and I really glad that I pulled it off successful.

The client, One Big Story, was very happy with my show, audience are also laughing away when I do my acts, (Well, I am a comedy escape artist k), Then the final act also created the climax, as I escaped at the last sec, everyone "screamed"!! Lol!! (Actually if i missed the timing, I lose 100 bucks loh) LOL!! Money at stack! So, I ended my first show with a bless. Shawn drop me more advise after then. :)

Meet up with the rest for Ning's 1 gal show, and then we went for dinner. Cool.

Its the first step to everything and its always hard, thanks everyone for the push. :)

Well, Upcoming this week, I got 2 shows on Friday and on Saturday, not the Arena Show, but my personal Show. Ya.. Its finally up and going and I am excited over it. (Gonna Rehearse my lines more)

Please Please Pray hard for me.

Next time will be.. MY RASHES Strikes Back!!! DAMN, I got a bad time loh. This few days was a turn off for me. I din go out that much and just straight go home and sleep. The much more irritating part will be the nagging from my mom, keep saying that "because of bike la" Blah blah blah.. Keep saying that driving is way better and ask me to learn. Why must I learn le? I happy with my bike and I going to keep with it. I AM SO NOT GOING TO BUY A CAR SO THAT THE "OTHER" CAN USE IT. Whats wrong man, if she want someone to drive a new car, get the one at the old home, not me. I fine with my bike, and I going to stick with it. As Long as I LIKE!

AHHH.. Okie, Friday I visiting a SPEC for my rashes, I need to take it down perman, or else, there will be even more nagging. Zzz..
