Princess Christy - 6th Birthday!

In the last party i hosted, the activities of the birthday party were carried out at the lift landing area… A perfect area for the magic and juggling show (Pearl, Christy’s mum had prepared princess mats for the princesses to sit on), and thereafter, a perfect area for mass dance! :P

Princess-party

Look at all the princesses! :D

Peal has just emailed me that they have uploaded the youtube video of the dance so i decided to post it up here too! Kinetic Gal is not in the shot, simply because… i may be good at juggling and magic, but impromptu dancing is not my cuppa tea! I might look like i’m swimming instead… … and spoil the picture.

There are actually two videos, second one of the encore – but it is not a complete video, so i won’t post it here… The children danced to the music of Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionaire. :) I had to search for the song (and there were some last minute hiccup at the party) but it was all well-worth the effort!

As you can see the children are REALLY good! From what i know, the children practised this for two long months for their graduation. Fantastic! You can see all the proud parents, ah mas, ah gongs beaming away. *grin*

Pearl mentioned she will be sending more photos to me (yay!) so i will post them up here and they arrive. This princess party definitely goes down as one of the most memorable ones.

Once again, from Kinetic Gal to the children: Here’s wishing the princesses and prince the best of luck in the upcoming primary school years… May your learning be voracious with the best teachers! And may all of you always keep this amount of zest for life!

THIS is absolutely one of the reason why i love performing for children. <3 <3

Busy Day – Birthday Parties in All Parts of Singapore!! :) November 1, 2009

It’s been busy and there are many things to work on for Kinetic Gal! This Saturday’s birthday parties felt unusual – really great for me… so i decided that i must blog about it! Apologies there are no photos! We usually run on a one-man show basis and thus do not have much luxury of taking photos. (Just in case you’re wondering… one-man, or in this case, one-gal show?? yes I can handle all 30 kids by one person, and have been doing so for years, and YES this is one of the reason we still keep the cost affordable)

In any case, the Saturday that has just came and went was Halloween. BUT! While Kinetic Gal had calls for Halloween shows, i was already booked for a couple of birthday parties, so birthday parties it was. :) As usual, my parties were for the all-gals party (or almost all-gals)… I guess being Singapore’s only Female Magic Juggler, it’s always easier for gals to relate to me; and younger kids take to me too. *grin* Back to the topic though, one of the parties was for Lauren and one of the parties was for Christy.

Lauren’s party was very memorable for me – because of the spontaneity of the children. For this party, i hosted games as well, and the children all had super great fun even dancing and twisting to the music! :D I must admit Kinetic Gal is a little out of shape :( for i was quite out of breathe after jumping around with the children… The party layout was fantastic! With a BIG hall clear of almost everything, the children had so much space to enjoy themselves. Lauren’s birthday wish during the cake cutting was very interesting! She wished that her Daddy’s new house will be even bigger and better! *grin* That’s a first for me! Her house is already beautiful! LOL.

One of the other party that had such an impression on me is Christy’s  princess birthday party! I’m always continually amazed by how much effort the parents put into the party. :) Christy’s party was a princess party – which was why Kinetic Gal was hired! An all-gals party was right down my alley ;) The princesses and prince (one singular one) were all dressed up so nicely in their prince and princess costumes!

In any case, i had been told before hand, that the children had a graduation song from a famous movie – Slumdog Millionaire… and understanding so, I went searching for the soundtrack for this party! :D

The specific song from the soundtrack was: Jai Ho. I believe many of us who have watched the movie would be familiar with it. There is even a PCD (Pussy Cat Dolls) version!

Even though we had a big of lag time because the funny MP 3 just refused to work and we had to pull out a laptop and use that to sound into the speaker, it has fantastically worth it.

Can you imagine a mini concert like dance (spontaneous) at the apartment floor landing? What was amazing was that the children could still dance to the choreography even at the floor landing with only half the class (they danced as a class during graduation).

EVERY single one of the parents and the children were so high during the dance (me included!). I’ve never find myself enjoying so much… *grin* I found out that a proud parent had uploaded the clip of their class doing the same dance during the concert, so i got the link to share it with you…

I find it amazing the children are only 5 or 6 years old! (I can still remember my K2 graduation dance… It was a slow moving waltz – and nothing like this!)

There is footage of the ‘mass dance @ floor landing’ but it has yet to be uploaded… I’ll definitely post that here when Christy’s mummy let me know about it.

For now, to the children: i wish everyone the best of luck in the upcoming primary school years… May your learning be voracious with the best teachers! And always keep this amount of zest in and within yourselves!

And of course to the birthday gals: Happy Birthday!! :D

One More Great Weekend for Kinetic Gal! October 11, 2009

Over the past few days, Kinetic Gal hosted birthday parties for a Power Ranger (aspiring power ranger who was all dressed up in rangers costume) and other children as well! I really love hosting the birthday parties because they give me great satisfaction when the birthday child is so happy! Today i was even happier when Alexandra, who just turned four insisted on giving me a big kiss and a BIG hug because she so loved my juggling and magic. *grin* It’s moments like these that really make me go awwwwwwww and really make me feel very happy!

Me with Alex sitting on my lap. :) She was dressed in a really pretty mermaid costume.

Besides the busy weekend, Kinetic Gal has also been busy with other things. Over the week, i met up with a local kids channel student producers for a show. :) It has been confirmed and Kinetic Gal will be appearing on the local kids TV channel soon. More info on that later… stay tuned!

Busy Weekends for Kinetic Gal! October 5, 2009

It’s been a busy week and a fun one too! Unfortunately i’ve not been able to get pictures, since i was busy performing. Briefly i conducted a few birthday parties and was also at Yishun Bottle Tree Park for a family day.

One of the parties that i hosted was a Hannah Montana party yet again! You might have recalled my blogging about the last Hannah Montana party, but this time round there were new Hannah Montana games and it was a blast. The birthday girl Tiera was pretty shy, but i think she enjoyed herself tremendously as did I!

She also received a poster from me after we played the games! Tiera’s grandmother revealed to me that Tiera had actually attended a disco party but did not like it – hence her’s was a rock themed party. I was really glad that she enjoyed herself!

Recently especially since i have had so many request, i have developed my own set of Hannah Montana games and they seem to be serving me pretty well.

I’ve got some exciting news coming up soon so keep a lookout!

Sunday Birthday Parties Marathon for Kinetic Gal! September 21, 2009

Sunday was a birthday party marathon for Kinetic Gal!

I hosted a couple of parties back to back ending with a bigger party! The Bigger party was for 3 year old Jin who was very shy, but the party went great too! Josephine, Ryan and the children were wonderful enjoying the party with everyone making the party. :) My first was for Randall, turning 1 year old… I must say I enjoy doing parties for the young ones like these – his sweet sister made me promise that I’d be there for her party (well I really do hope so) and kept waving goodbye to me as I left. These young kids make my day, really.

Anyway, just right before the BIGGER party, I hosted a party for 6 year old Deon, who had an extremely nice birthday cake… Well, trust me, I have been to soooo many birthday parties, it takes a very exceptionally stunning cake to make me go wow.

A picture speaks more than a thousand words, so feast your eyes on the cakeok at that cake!

Look at that!

This is the most meticulously decorated and prepared cupcake tier I have seen for a birthday! Not only were there ponyo figurines on the tiers which were decorated with beads, each of the single cupcake had different figures and figurine on them. The lower tiered cupcakes had ponyo printed cartoons, while the upper tiered cake had nice cream and were for putting the candles!

A front view…

Usually Kinetic Gal would not have time to snap photos, BUT I just couldn’t resist! It was a beautiful cake (look at that table too!) and was really the centerpiece of attraction.

Here’s Deon with his mum, Janice!
What’s sweeter was what I got after the party too!

Lookee at that! :P (Apologies for that blurriness, i was really running for shows…)

I profess to not having watched Ponyo before (OMG yes but that’s true… I need more time than I have now!!!!)… so I guess that’s one character inside. Nevertheless, it was specially picked out for me by the mother (and I confess I checked out the kids’ cake which were most digital cartoon), so I was quite touched. It looks somewhat like me… I think. :D

You might recall reading on my writing of cupcakes for birthday parties before. (See my article on birthday cakes here) Personally I highly recommend this, because it makes the party much more fuss free! Some parents do not like it because there’s no so-called cake for cutting (major part of the ceremony) for which I’d recommend another type of cake cup tier which has a center cake (about 5” cake) which is reserved for family and cake cutting, while the surrounding cupcakes are for the children. It makes for very easy giving out (no trouble of cutting and getting a little messy) and also are great for the kids as they get one individual one each (no fighting!). And as you can see – you can have a WONDERFUL looking cake too!

Also as a personal observation, I’m starting to observe that for all my parties, balloon sculptures that I’ve given out are starting to look more and more complex! Nowadays, children do like to have a choice of their stuff… and I have, as a result, also start taking more spaced-out shows to ensure that I can cater to every one of the children at the party! Hence do check with me in advance if you’d like to enquire about a show… Kinetic Gal is going selective on the parties to give everyone a more quality party experience.

Alrightey, and that’s all for this week’s posting – it’s been a long and fun day!

A Little ‘Trouble’ at the Birthday Party!:P September 14, 2009

For a few times now, Kinetic Gal has been having a little ‘trouble’ trying to leave the birthday parties – the little kiddos simply refuse to let me go! *grin*

Kinetic Gal had a full weekend just the last Saturday and Sunday for all the young ones turning one and two, all girls. :D Most parents have told me that they are very happy to have a girl host the party for their own little princesses and they feel safer having me at the party with young children! (refer to my past post here on why some parents might think so) It is indeed important that parents hire only people you are comfortable with and follow your gut feel when it comes to stuff related to your precious ones!

Anyway, these few birthday parties have been great fun and youngsters really take to me for some reasons unknown even to myself. :D

Little kiddo biting on the lollipop was unbelievably only three years old. He was my fantastic helper during the favourite audience participation segment. :D

Little Gal behind us later ’stole’ my handphone cos i was apparently using her mom’s phone (we use the same model! LOL!)


Kids having fun and so did I!

More and more parties coming up – i can’t wait! :)

Gearing Up for MANY Birthday Parties to Come! September 6, 2009

This weekend has been a relatively relaxed weekend- a deliberate choice to do so, for the next upcoming weekends are going to be quite crazy… literally! In the upcoming weekends, i will be hosting 5-6 birthday parties over two days (both BIG and BIGGER packages) so i’d be really quite busy. In fact, my enquiries have more than gone past December. I have enquiries for shows up to May in 2010! No complains though – it’s great to be busy!

Just yesterday, i had a blast of time hosting the party for a pair of twins. The party was quite big, with 40 kids at the party, i nearly had difficulties churning out balloons within that short space of time for the children! :) They were all very happy with the balloons though (hearts with bears/ machine guns etc were HOT favourites)! It made my day to see the children leaving the party with big smiles on their faces. Ultimately, that’s one of the biggest rewards every single party.

Last month, i wrote for readers to look out for new changes and updates to be coming up for Mighty Magic Factory website. There’s been some slight delay with the bulk of things going on, but it’s coming up soon, so look out for that! In fact, Kinetic Gal is also looking at some revamp to this blogsite which will be my own pet project after the website update. And perhaps some more fun stuff upcoming too!

Stay tuned!

Birthday Party Galore! August 31, 2009

Well well…. It was not just lots of little kids’ birthday over the weekend. It was Kinetic Gal’s birthday too! In fact, Kinetic Gal celebrated her birthday with many children! :)

August has been a crazy month for Kinetic Gal, with so many birthday parties – more than i can handle! (Really sorry i had to turn some of you away!)

Just on Saturday, I did a party for Tristan who is French. His mother Elise actually had Ashraf the Magic Boy host Tristan’s sister’s birthday party and liked it – hence getting me as well to host Tristan’s party! Tristan’s a little shy but i think he enjoyed his party… i know i did!

TristanBdayPty-Aug09-23

Just a little know-more about Kinetic Gal… I actually took French lessons before, though admittedly, the beautiful language is still not so extremely in my grasp, at least not beyond the usual: “Bonjour, je m’appelle Kinetic Gal…” “Merci beacoup!” and “Au Revoir!” LOL.

There’s a bit too much to write, so i’ll keep it short with other things that Kinetic Gal’s alter ego has been involved in… Some of you reading the newspaper might have read that there was a recent mega illusion ‘Destination X: The Car Teleportation’ that was done by Asia’s most famous illusionist duo, J C Sum and ‘Magic Babe’ Ning on the 22nd Aug.

I’m very honoured to be part of that as well, and if you missed what over 16,000 people have caught, do check out the video here!

Kinetic Gal + a Super Villian @ A Fantastic Party Held in Grass Roots Club! July 12, 2009

I had many birthday parties over the weekend and this weekend, one particular birthday party was very interesting! :) I had expected a very rowdy party since the party was for THREE 6-year old boys and held at the Grass Roots Club Childrens’ Playground. I had a pleasant surprise and it was a great great party! In fact, Kinetic Gal had a good time and met a very special character at the party.

He’s a VILLAIN.

BIG VILLAIN.

Guess who?

Image146

YES. Him. Darth Vader!

Image152

The guys obviously had a super time with Darth Vader (or trying to kill Darth Vader).

But Kinetic Gal was not bad either. Soon after Darth Vader left, the guys settled down and we had a heck of a time with the juggling magic show! :) Throughout the show, the little guys kept asking ‘How did you do that??’ LOL! The children had a heck of the time at the party, and so did I!

Unfortunately, as Yoda would say: ‘End it, we must’. And so, the show came to an ‘end’, and the kids continued having more fun at the playground.

Happy birthday to the 3 Jedi Knights! :D

Had the usual ’bout’ of birthday parties over the weekend, which were fantastic! Regina, Hannah’s mum, and her family was so very warm and even invited me to stay behind for lunch. Her party was a beautiful ‘Disney Princess’ themed party. :) Everyone was welcomed to her home which looked like a castle, and the children left with great wonderful swords and certificates of princess and knighthood!

I also had a party for which Kinetic Gal (moi!) got a BIG cookie star at the end too! :D

Cookie star that says: ‘Kinetic Girl’… Close enough! It’s Kinetic Gal!

I had a special themed Hannah Montana party where i had special stuff for the party. :) Check it out!

Presenting the Hannah Montana Poster to the birthday gal!

Here’s the poster that she got:

They loved and enjoyed the show and i loved performing for them too!

Kinetic Gal subsequently rushed to the other show where i was again warmly welcomed by Bette and her daughter Nerissa! :) Bette later messaged me personally to thank me for the party!

Here’s a later email that she sent to me after:

Thank you for hosting Nerissa’s 7th Birthday Party last Sunday. You were certainly a life saver. Prior to your arrival, I was trying hard at organizing some games for the children to get them excited and engaged but the moment you arrived, that’s when the REAL PARTY starts. The children were in awe, captivated and you stole not only their hearts and minds but also their parents’. You were definitely the lifeline and livewire in the party And you make the birthday girl proud. The comments that I received from my guests were that you were entertaining to both their children and themselves. I cannot thank you enough.

Thank you for the wonderful words Bette!

Here’s wishing all the darling sweet birthday gals a wonderful birthday the past wkend! :)

Till next wk!
