Chinese New Year is around the corner! Have you gotten all your bak guas, candies and everything ready? 
In fact, Chinese New Year is just a few days away, but then, birthdays don’t ‘choose’ them dates! Hehe! As usual, my past weekends were filled with shows and shows (no time for new year shopping!).
I had a conversation with the parents (Terence and Cindy) after the last show i had @ Singapore Arts Museum and was reminded of how lucky i was. We had a little conversation about having the chance to perform as i love to, and take that as work. Not everyone is as lucky as i am! And of course, i would not be anywhere i am if not for a few people. You know who you are!
Anyway, Terence and Cindy was also telling me about Cliven, brother of the very sweet birthday girl (Cayleigh), and that he was auditioning for modeling. That boy is one handsome guy so i’m sure something will come out of it! Maybe we’ll see him on some adverts real soon! 
In fact, just the other day, i was watching TV when i saw this advertisement for the speak good mandarin campaign…
And i realised i’ve performed for the little girl in the clip before! If i’m not wrong the little girl is Paige Parker… The lady on the left is her mother, and the little baby, her baby sister!
Cool! It is so interesting to see the young children i perform for in different light – and sometimes when i go back to the same kid’s birthday party 3rd time in 3 years… they look all grown up. And i start to feel a little old! 
Oh well, time and tide waits for no man… and since the festival is coming, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!
(Ooops, and the following clip has nothing to do with Chinese New Year, but I just love this song, so just thought i’d share with everyone!)

Kinetic Gal has been really busy with shows and all other things! Recently, in the past few weeks, i have, coincidentally, hosted many parties for the japanese community in Singapore. I am really very impressed by their courtesy and manners i must say.
Anyway, I’m glad that despite some language barriers, MAGIC itself, has no real barriers! *grin*
I have some feedback from a parent after the show, and I’m glad the children really enjoyed themselves! As usual, the kids really like the funny wand + magic routine where the birthday boy stars as the ‘magician’!
Thank you so much for coming to our son Shion’s 5th birthday party on Sunday! Everybody who came to the party looked so happy and they all said the magic show was fun and great.
Of course we thought that way too.
Shion was very happy and proud that day, being a birthday boy and be treated as special. Shion talked about your magic after the party over and over. (He especially liked the magic wand which didn’t work well but went funny)
The day was so precious and we will never forget.
Thank you again for the great party!

Between waiting for the DVD version of the Okto-Live Episode to arrive and the rushing of many many other projects, this got a little delayed! Here’s the youtube clip of yours truly on Okto-Live, Dec 09.
It was really fun working with the Okto people. The hosts were really fun too. I had a swell time at the studio!
Besides all of that, i also did a show for Bank of Tokyo, Mitusbishi for their New Year Party Lunch. I think it is exceptional how polite and courteous the Japanese are! It was really fun doing it for them because everyone stops eating to watch your show and there’s no clanging of chopsticks, plates, etc while the show is going on. Of course, the kids were really fun to perform to. The little boy i had for a volunteer was really cute, he kept dancing on the dancefloor… So i joined in! =p
Anyway, i have a couple more of parties coming up. I’ve been taking it slightly easier for myself because of a lot of other responsibilities, but rest assured, more is coming up!
In fact, keep a look out for May 2010……. something exciting is coming up! *grin*

Wow. Time really flies. In a blink, it’s 2010! Happy New Year everyone! *Fireworks* Have you made your new year resolutions?
You may be wondering why on earth i’m posting a blog entry at almost 6 o clock in the morning.. Well i had parties to attend (performing of course) and the show marathons got my adrenaline pumping so much that i’m still up in the early wee morning!
Anyways, here’s wishing everyone a great 2010 ahead… I have something upcoming for the new year, stay tuned for the later part of the year, and of course, Mighty Magic Factory will only try to be better AND better!
Happy 2010!
Christmas, Parties, Events… Magic and Balloons! December 28, 2009

I do realize that my blog has been a little quiet for some time – i apologise for that. Kinetic Gal has taken on some new responsibilities and the festive season has been one of catching up with friends and family for me. As Kinetic Gal, I dedicate a lot of my time to my performing… because i love magic and i love children. You can imagine hence, that every one of my weekends are filled to the brim with parties and more birthday parties… Little time is actually left for my family and friends. Thankfully i have a supportive family and the best friends who can bolster me as i go along! So this Christmas, i made the conscious choice of dedicating my time to my family and friends. But even before that i of course, still have my Christmas events and parties to perform at.
One of the few events that i was at was the Winter Wonderland events at the neighbourhood malls. I had the great fun of meeting Cruz Teng (ok, used to be one of my favourite deejays until i stopped listening to radio all together) but i was unfortunately not feeling well. The other one was at Woodlands and it was hosted by Desmond Koh.
Jen, one of the parents whom i hosted the birthday party for also sent me some pictures that she took during the party.
This was one of the most elaborate Princess parties that i hosted! Thanks Jen for the pictures!
And now, on to Christmas. Me being me, i had to give a shot at what i usually do to spice up my own family Christmas gathering… As i have talked about in many of my past posts, cupcakes are all the rage right now, and i thought why not join in the fun and have a cupcake tier for the christmas instead of the normal logcake… That was before i got to understand that two of my relatives had ordered logcakes for the gathering. OOppps.
So, we switched the cakes for party favours!
Tadah!
So the tier became a centrepiece for the party and our de-facto christmas tree for this year. How does it look? Technically you can do this for your birthday party too! Just switch out the christmas tree on top and have some birthday wordings on the tiers instead.
And of course, we couldn’t do without some decorations. And what other simpler (for me) decorations then balloons?
My favourite Christmas balloon – cartoon Santa!
Rudolf at the corner. If you noticed, the gold balloons are actually filled with water. This is an easy way for keeping your balloons from flying off everywhere!
Mickey!
Again one of the easiest way of decorating with balloons…
I had a couple more other sculptures sitting around – hearts with flowers, flower stands and such but didn’t take anymore of those photos.
Anyway this was for my own family gathering more than a party so i did some simple and basic balloons just for the festive cheer. Well you can do the same for birthday parties too!
Kinetic Gal wishes everyone a happy new year in advance!

What Christmas Means to Kinetic Gal… December 16, 2009

What does Christmas mean to you and your family? If you are Christians, this occasion holds a really special meaning to you. But even if you’re not, it can hold a special meaning for you too.
I’m not a Christian so the religious connotations are not really for me, but having celebrated Christmas every year, I must say it is special. On this occasion, everyone from my family takes time to come home (almost very much like a western Chinese New Year; except there are no red packets but presents instead).
On this day, my family would do potluck or buffet and we’d have games (very traditionally, Seven-up, Bingo, Who Took the Cookie from the Cookie Pot). Everyone would win something at the end – though my mum didn’t say, all the gifts were really specific to the children. It was always on this day, we’d test our luck for the upcoming year… It’s pretty accurate actually, taking Bingo as the basis! 
At the same time, during Christmas season, we will normally do our bit for the charity too, by donating to Salvation Army and for me, doing some shows for the less privileged when i can.
Christmas to me… is for the family, and also to remember and value your friends and loved ones, while not forgetting the less fortunate in the society. It does not have to be commercial, but can come straight from the heart. That’s MY spirit of Christmas. What about you?
It’s 9 days left to Christmas!!!

It was a great great weekend for me as i hosted non-stop shows for kids! It was really non-stop as i had 5 shows in a weekend, ending off with a personal wedding dinner which i had to attend! The parties were great fun and a few really stood out!
For one of the parties, i had a little souvenir to take away for the party!
Thank you Chanya and Mikey!
For the others, it was more of meeting familiar faces at the party! Some of them had seen me at British Club before, while the others had caught me on OKTO! It was really fun performing too for Annika and her sister!
One of the parties which i hosted was for a princess party for Jeannieve! Her party room was so beautifully decorated! Check it out!
Look at that! A Cinderella cake, a Cinderella agar agar, a Cinderella carriage and even cupcakes!
The Princess backdrop where i performed!
It was really great doing parties for the children – especially the girls! Afterall, I’m Singapore’s only female magic juggler, and it’s no surprise the girls just take more to me! *grin*
See you at the next birthday party!
Behind the scenes of OKTO-LIVE!!! December 9, 2009

My deepest, sincerest BIGGEST apologies about the delay in this entry! Kinetic Gal was caught with stomach upset (very bad stomach upset) following the huge bout of parties over the weekends, resulting in which Kinetic Gal even with her mighty magic powers could not get out of the bed at all!
Anyway, I’ve recovered finally (hurray to the advanced medical sciences) so here i am to post about the behind the scenes for the filming on Friday!
As you would have known, Kinetic Gal was on the OKTO-Live program on the OK-to-Learn Segment to teach everyone some juggling skills! Unfortunately the timing was really short so we had to squeeze a lot of stuff in there! We had a few rehearsals before we went into the live shoot. As it was live, the atmosphere was pretty tense! We had to keep to the timing while make sure that everything went well.
“Silence on the set!!” and the filming began!
First part where i did the colour changing rings!
Some interaction with the host where i teach them how to juggle!
Wai Kit and Sharda are really great to interact with and they are really a fun loving bunch of people! They are really quick learners too… Whereas most people would have trouble learning to release even the third ball, they had no trouble releasing AND catching three balls. BRAVO!
After this segment, they did a little challenge where they had me juggle eggs! Unbeknown to everyone, Wai Kit handed me a slightly cracked egg during the segment. That really had me sweating but, thankfully i managed to get it off!
Last part where i juggled blindfolded… they had me do balls instead of clubs as there was not enough time to introduce another set of juggling equipment!
Post filming, with Jovis, the student producer for the program.
Thanks to the fantastic (and fun-tastic!) OKTOLIVE team for bringing me on set for this segment! I had great fun learning and sharing with everyone juggling skills! OKTO rocks! *grin*
Catch Kinetic Gal on OKTO LIVE, 4th December! November 28, 2009

Want to learn juggling? Well tune your TV in to OKTO channel, on the 4th December at 630pm and you just might learn how to juggle! That’s right… Singapore’s only female magic juggler is going to be appearing soon on OKTO!
Well, you might just have caught the trailer of yours truly while watching OKTO – the channel has a special focus on the kids and arts communities, and on User Generated Content (UGC). I’ll be appearing on OKTO’s oktoLIVE series 2, to teach everyone some juggling.. and of course, demonstrate the skill too!
It was pretty much a surprise when the producer for the program approached me and asked if i could do it. They thought it would be cool that Singapore’s only female magic juggler could teach some juggling on the show. And i thought so too! In fact, they told me they had originally intended for me to teach juggling + magic, but were worried that this being an invited guest segment, my appearing two times might not be appropriate. Oh wells!
The program starts from 630pm to 7pm on OKTO channel, and my part is somewhere nearer the ending of the program. I think they have some sms segment where you can send in sms-es to ask questions so do shoot if you have questions too! *grin* And of course, the host of the program, Wai Kit and Sharda will be learning how to juggle too… can they succeed?
Well, we’ll know soon enough… See you on OKTOLIVE, 4 Dec, 630pm!
