Enicar's Conference & Dinner and Dance

I would say this is a very special show done by myself on 8th November 2008. In fact all the guest that will be participating are directly from China and Hong Kong.

In fact this is a company trip for Enicar - A Swiss Luxurious Watch. The brand was orginally from Switzerland but later on it was bought over by a businessman from Hong Kong. And the company trip that they are organizing to Singapore this time round is an incentive for all their distributor all over China. Meaning to say, Enicar is sponsoring the 3days 2 night trip to Singapore and I am invited to host for their conference and D&D.

During the selection of emcee, Enicar's mother company in Hong Kong actually called me and interview me. After confirmation, the organizer from Shanghai was dealing with me over the phone several time to excecute the work flow.... My telephone bill this month is gonna be XXXX :-S

In fact, I should thank god that I made the right move to further my studies for 4 years in Shanghai. If not I don't think I can have such high quality and perfect spoken mandarin that is suitable for their show.

Anyway, everything goes on well. During the actual event day, I specially bought a red dress for the show as the corporate color for Enicar is red.



I hear that thei brand is actually very famous in China and Hong Kong. They even got a Internatioanl celebrity actress - Ms. Xu to be their ambassador.


The conference was taken place from 2pm to 6pm. After 1 hour break, we started the D&D at 7pm as the Chinese guest normally takes dinner earlier compare with Singaporean and Malaysian.

After the D&D, the guest were so high that they wanted to continue drinking outside. Hence, I bough half the guest - around 80pax to Dasha's Beer Station.


Haha... Dasha should have made a lot of money from my guests from China. Anyway, readers I do have a place to recommend if you wish to chill out in a place which is out of town. Dasha's beer station is a good choice for you as you can enjoy the "Balanese style" coosy environment with some Czech beer. Dasha's place is also the first Czech microbrewery in Singapore.

Anyway after all the guest from China left, I was having a little chit chat and beer in Dasha's place with the organizer who is based in Shanghai. In fact he is from Hong Kong but working in Shanghai. He told me alot of stories and development of Shanghai. He also encourage me to return to Shanghai as there are much more opportunity for people who are effetively bilingual like me.

Sigh... should I go to Shanghai or stay back in Singapore? I'd started my business and career in Singapore. If I just leave like this, I will lost everything in Singapore and have to start all over again in Shanghai.

Friends, what should I do???

SOP Convention

Due to the good respond from the Essilor's Virtually Dust Free - Crizal A2's product launch. 3 of the participant for the Essilor event were the chair person and president of Singapore Opticianry Practitioners (SOP)'s Mr. Elson Kwan and Mr. Steve "talent hunted" me to be the Emcee for the fist SOP Convention in Singapore.

I am so honored as this is a first time for SOP to hold their convention and they are giving me a chance to the the host for their convention and exhibition!

After my morning gig, I was Mr. Elson invited me for the Gala Dinner at that night. As Roy and I both know the emcee for D&D - Justin Mission, so I called Roy to join me for the dinner as well.

The oganizer was so kind that they offerred me and Roy 1 whole table. Imagine a ball room table just for me and Roy!!!! We had so much food to eat....oh dear :-S

While I was mid-way enjoying my food, Justin was inviting some guest to take part in his game segment. What I can't expect is, he actually reserve the last lady(in total 4 guys and 4 girls) to be me. I was coveing my face with my scarft trying to hide myself, but that "stupid" Justin still insist to take me up on stage.

Oh my god! Finally I got a time to take a break after the long day hosting for the convention I still have to "entertain" the guest during the D&D.....


Justin showing off his funny faces....wahahaha....

Wendy is getting wild with her Bollywood dance!



After the show, for sure I screw Justin left right center to bring me up on stage for the game segment. Anyway since all the guest enjoy my "show" so no harm :-)

Justin told me and Roy that he might be migrating soon to Australia. Sad... Justin don't go... you are my master and you are my hero.... Singapore badly need talent like you!!!!

No doubt Justin is one of the best emcee in town... all the best Mr. Justin!

Halloween Party At The Tanglin Club

One of the Halloween Party I done this year was pretty interesting. Let's blog about the Tanglin Clubs gig.

As most of the time Halloween Party is mainly using the traditional witch costume, pumpkin etc... but this time round, the gig at Tanglin club is customized to a "Spiderwick Cronicles".


It is actually a children movie which it is as famous as Harry Porter in Europe and America. Frankly it seems that it is not a big hit in Asia and I haven't heard about this movie before until Tanglin Club offer me this gig. The movie was pretty exciting but personally I feel it is a bit too violent for kids, but if it is targeting only teenager, it is fine.

Anyway, on October 25 night, Roy and I went to the Tanglin Club pretty early to set up and decorate the area. Roy is acting as one of the character in the movie - Brownie. He is mingling around the area and giving out balloons.



Well for me I am the emcee for the night and I was playing some stage games with the kids :-) Love them... all of them are so cute.....


Look at the naughty boy, he is trying to carry the giant spider custome made by Roy and throwing it around and scarying ppl :-S
