sometimes i wonder...
Well, another friend of mine is attached, or should i say 2.. It comes to me as a surprise, plainly because I talk to them lots of time, and suddenly, bom! Attached..

Well, another reason is because I am very busy recently, no time to sleep properly, or do things right. Talk about chatting online.. Thats even harder.. Going out have dinner with people also hard. LOL!!!

Sometime I wonder, maybe my kind of line is just not suitable to be in any kind of relationship. Cause can really mix up  1 big time.. Too complicated..

Its best to stay alone, but you know the good thing of having another half of you? Its when you are sad, annoyed, troubled, lost, she will be there. Listening.. But is it fair that you are not doing it for her also, because your work is taking too much time? Thats why I chose to let go of her and let her find a better guy that deserve her time, then a sucker like me.

I don't have really close friends that i like to talk to about my life, a fingerful maybe.. Its just too hard, cause friends also have their issues, bf gf, name it. So why will they trouble themselves with me?

End of story, it pinch me when I see couples forming and I am not, but I don't want to break another one's heart because of that. :)

Bengamin Button
Well, I finally Watched this movie.. First of all, its a long stretch movie. 2 hrs 40 min. Not alot of people can tahan the length. Thus, if you are going to watch with a friend, or group of friends, make sure they can tahan the whole movie.

The movie is great. Very detailed about the story telling, and in the end, it kinda of sucks that you are the only one that is going backward while the rest is going forward. You have to leave them one day, and not being with them till the last.

As for Vday, well, nothing much happened except for our usual show and such, had fun talking around in the Arena, surprisingly, I went early to set things up. Cause I quite bored at home.

Oh ya, My rashes are coming back, I so sad. I have a hunch that it got to do with the overdose of sugar I had this 2 days, since this 2 days, spots are coming out. So Let see what will happen if I don't have overdose of sugar.

Ya, basically I eat the sugar donuts, (Alone) then have drinks from yeo etc. this 2 days doing the same thing, eating them. So maybe I alittle bit sensitive to sugar?

Another thing is, finally I got a gym online, so Its time for me to hit the gym and keep myself fit. Ya keeping fit also put the rashes away. Don't worry about me, the rashes are not really big deal but its just there. Quite irritating. :)

The Mystery Handcuff
Now the mystery handcuff.. Well, a few weeks ago, I looked into the website of handcuffs and locks, (I am an escape artist) and decided to get 1 of the handcuff for my show. So everything went well, and the delivery is made. The handcuff cost a few hundred dollars.

But finally it got stuck in the customs, I was pretty shocked, but thought that it won't be a problem as it happened before. But this time round, its different. They say that handcuffs are not allow in Singapore, and they have to detain it and send to arms and explosive branch.

I was totally shocked and there is nothing I can do about it. This few days, I been making calls, emails to them, hoping that they can release the item.

As of now, they refuse to release it and will DISPOSE it!!! Thats the second shock! I mean, even if I din know that its prohibited, its my fault, and you not releasing to me, can you please send back to the origin so that I can claim back my money?

Lets hope I can get back my money.. Its a few hundred, not just 20-30 dollars.. ZZzzz..

Busy Busy
Sorry guys, I suppose to update more about the busy week. As you can see, really busy and everyday, quite tired, so I always sleep early. Plus alittle of lazy.. LOL!!

Anyway, Yesterday marks the end of the shooting in MediaCorp for a stream of shows coming up. The first Episode will be on 22nd Feb. Then every week for 5 weeks, you can see the performances in Channel 8.

There is a hugh challenge for this, as we moved 2 truck worth of illusions to MediaCorp from 2 different locations. I glad that the timing is all right and we made it in time to MediaCorp to set things up. It was fun and interesting, but all works and efforts goes to the team.

The good thing also is the loading aspect of MediaCorp, Thanks god they have gigantic lift for us to load. (Obviously)

Today going back there to take back some stuffs and we back to the Arena for our daily shows.

Hell Week.. LOL!!
Okie, I think I just kidding, this is not really a hell week.. But its close to that anyway.

LOL!! The hell begins on Wednesday night, because on Thursday morning, we have a full illusion show for a client. SO, we set off at 4am in the morning to the hotel. (Damn Cool) Then set up everything and did some dry run. We finished earlier than expected, so the rest of the time, we spend resting and chatting.

The show begin and it was a fast pace 30 min illusion show, watching us moving in and out like crazy. But the show was GREAT!!! The audience loved it and it really make us smile and feel worth it.

But thats not the end, we have to pack down while they are having their conference, but cannot move out due to that also. Thus we have to wait again till like 1pm. So thats the hell for me, cause without anything to do, the sleepness kick in and I cannot take it. While have to tahan, while have to look after the things. Zzzz..

The time finally came, and we went back to office, I was so shag that I rushed back home immediately and sleep. Zzz.. Cant sleep much because 6pm got show.. Then rush down to show.. Like Zombie.. LOL!!!

But end to end, the whole day have been great.. The shows are great.. The audience are good.. Nothing went wrong..

Well update more later..

Chingay 2009
First of all, I have to declare that everything I going to write here is my own words. It doesn't represent anyone except myself.

Well, I watched the Chingay 2009 Telecast on Sunday. Actually I was quite surprised that there is no LIVE telecast, but it is a replayed telecast instead.

Anyway, Chingay 2009 in general is good!!! First, NTU CAC made their first Debut in bringing in the float that was created by Profs and Engineers, but they forget to mention the dancers and crews are supported and coordinated by CAC people. Hai.. I quite disappointed of that because sometime the school just won't recognize the efforts of their students, and bringing the pride to themselves and not the students. Oh well. It could be the first ever float that I saw that incorporate fire and mechanical system inside which make the dragons look so real.

Another one that I remembered is the dragon dance with splashing molten metal around the whole stage. That was, WOW!! Well, its a pain in the ass for those performers, but its really very beautiful and nice when seen on TV, I believe it will be even greater on LIVE!

Hmm, the rest of the acts are pretty normal, but some dances are really nice.

The highlight of this year's Chingay is the "magic" performance by Lawerence Khong, and Priscilla Khong. Not to forget the whole Magic Box Crew, magicians, dancers. Let me guess.. Over 500 people? You guess yourself.

Anyway, to be honest, I quite "shocked" and partly disappointed. First of all, their float is normal, like a whole tank of wire gram without clothing. Well, it was covered by lighting, so its like hmm, hmm.. Naked Light float? Oh well, then tons of dancers, and magicians. Doing different magic to the audiences. Some are really good, but some.. is really omg.. I won't expose the magic here, but its quite bad.

Oh, then comes LK with his horse, is it his? Don't know, but i know he own 3 horses. Staged like a unicorn, the brown unicorn come in with him on top of course. Then the act continue, with Priscilla Khong appear on a cage that is HANGED by a CRANE. So if she is the princess, why is she in a CAGE? Oh well.. Then blah blah.. go on stage, did a illusion, then Minister APPEARANCE!!!! Nicely Done..

So the finale is, LK going to be BURNED ALIVE  for 1 whole minute, well thats what was told anyway. So he go on top of a platform, then covered TOTALLY with a BLACK cloth, then he stand very FIRM, not moving an inch. Then a wired graze is put infront of him, that is to prevent the fire from splashing onto the outside. 

Then the minister set "him" on fire!!! And he is not moving an inch of the fire, must be damn tough enduring the fire, then 30-40 sec past, and he shouted, something like, he cannot take it, and fire extinguisher!!! He is gone, and he appear right on top of the building, then suspended down. Good ending.. But I don't think so.

Mainly because, it was told that he is going to "endure" 1 minute of fire, and I believe or I thought he really going to do that, which is very impressive, but he made an illusion out of it. Which means he might or might not have endured 1 minute. Okie to be frank, Magic are illusions, to get to the top, need more than 1 minute, if it is magic, that will be great, if its not, its illusion and it means that "he" is not there. So if he is not there, he is not enduring the fire, so does it make sense then?

Okie, I not condeming anything, I just feel cheated as an audience, really.. I really thinking that he is going to endure for 1 minute, not "endure" for 1 minute. Maybe he meant the latter part.. Oh well.. Zzzz..
