A new CMA Mental Arithmetics branch has been launched in Woodlands Civic! This thing is really superb! It's mental abacus and solving numbers even faster than a calculator.. Amazing shit..! You guys gotta check out the video and website for yourselves..! CMA Mental Arithmetics Video (Click) CMA Website (Click) Anyway, did my first helium balloon decoration with Moses for their open house.. Good experience though not too fantastic.. My first helium arch..  Moses did the inflating & I tied.. Lol.. Organiser wanted the balloons to be more compact.. & even more compact! Well.. That's how it would turn out.. =( Still, it was rather fun doing this job.. & playing with helium gas was so darn funny! You guys wouldn't believe how I laughed after I inhaled the helium gas! Evening was balloon sculpturing for a pot luck carnival.. 2 hours & the kids keep coming back..! Lol! Almost every kid had 2 balloons to bring hime! Wee! I guess the organisers were happy to see that too! This wheelchair-bound man in his 60s wanted my hat! He's so nice to offer me a packet drink too! Thanks! =D The happiest moments of doing balloons..  To bring smiles to people! SMILE! =D Alright! It's time for some new stuff again! =D Met the 2 crazy guys, Moses & Gabriel.. Also referred to as "Old Men" by my girlfriend..! I think she gets a little worried with me hanging around with 2 old men too often! Lol! Anyway.. We were at Admiralty MacDonalds.. Too bad Jazz, Kae & Brodrick couldn't make it the last minute.. You guys missed out so much! Another time then.. =) Let's see.. Moses made 2 masks.. Pretty interesting.. =D Talented fella! His mini snake mask!  SSSSsss.. Lol! Cute guy! (Hor Sherlyn?!) =X *I'm dead meat* This is his Kungfu Panda mask..  Sorry Moses, but it seriously doesn't look like it.. =X *TehTeh!* Fail! =P Gabriel with his usuals.. Sweet har!  It's 2 bears holding hands in a heart-shaped balloon! And now.. My creation! =D I hope you could tell its a..  Skull mask!? *This is a prototype.. Gotta add some minor colour changes* What really amazes me is how this mask had evolved through this session..  First from the left... And all the way to the right..! Amazing har..  Boo. More to come! Ok! It has been pretty long since I filmed myself performing magic! Too much of balloons la.. You know..? I got this weird fetish for latex.. =X Lol! Erhem! Today's the day you find da Orange back in MagicLand! The following effect's named "Super Shocker!". A little brief introduction of the effect.. This was created by Orange himself! It's a spectator-find-their-card effect with a twist! =D Enjoy! & credits to Alan for filming this down! =) Haha~ Yes! Paul da Boyfriend is here again to pamper his dear girlfriend with a lovely meal! Of course! She deserves it after studying so hard in school! Well well.. Let's see what's on the chef's menu! It's... Ham & Sausage Pasta! *I was the guinea pig yesterday & it tasted awesome!* So here's the actual thing! The ingredients!  Lol! I know you can find Ribena but it's not part of the ingredients.. =X First..  Extra virgin olive oil! *I was told this one has superior taste over the normal olive oil?* Yes! Finely-chopped garlic too!  This goes in with with the heated olive oil.. Till the fragrance is out! Next goes in the sauce! Being a little lazy..  I use this! It's Leggo's Alfredo Pasta Sauce! *I heard Leggo's tastes better than Prego?* Just to adjust the taste of the sauce to my preference..  I added milk bit by bit.. & stirred continuously.. Gotta be careful with the texture of the sauce.. *Just to make sure the sauce is boiling slowly over low heat* While adding the milk..  I added in grated parmesan cheese.. This helps in the cheesy taste and also the thickness of the sauce.. =) *Remember to taste the sauce occasionally too~* Once it's right..  Sliced picnic ham & chicken sausages were thrown in with the sauce.. & also the hard-boiled quail eggs! =D  *Just place the quail eggs in boiling water for 4 minutes and peel off the shell!* Pour the sauce over the pasta.. In this case I used macaroni..  & tada~! Yummy yummy meal for my lovely girlfriend! Oh yes.. Realised I didn't state down exact proportions needed for each ingredient.. Well.. I couldn't too as the proportions of all the ingredients added were estimated! =X Good luck experimenting if anyone would love to try this! =D Drool.. Ok! I'm so gonna treasure my time with Srini before he flies back to the states again! Met this dude immediately after a short gym session with Moses.. I was so looking forward to meeting and chatting with Srini! Had a good walk around Khatib's pasar malam.. & I bought an...  Orange foldable basket for $1.50! *Good buy, Good buy..* As for its uses.. Hm.. I could dump my balloons & scraps in there! =D Alright.. Had dinner and headed to MacDonalds to chill out.. We were chatting and guess what happens when you're with Paul... Yes! Balloons again.. Lol! Taught Srini how to make a dog.. =P That's a totally contrasting dog Srini.. *I'm referring to colour contrast* =X  Well done for your first try Srini! Hope you'll get some blonde chicks back with you to Singapore next time with your new ballooning skills! =P Did a little jamming session with myself in a corner of my brain while chatting with Srini.. *Yes! I think I'm bonkers! Lol!* I bet Srini was surprised when we were chatting about our primary school classmates and AHA! I started my balloon nonsense cos' I got a new idea.. Lol! Here goes.. Remember the heart design on the previous post?  Yep! Now there's 2 bears holding hands above it~ How sweet & lovely~ Created by..  ..a not-so-sweet-but-
*Crazy guy.. After gym also balloons!?!* I love this~! Kyle informed me about this.. Glad I could attend his lecture! Have been ages since I visited RP Magic IG.. =) Anyway, a little brief introduction about him.. Johnny Thompson, "The Great Tomsoni", is a Las Vegas illusionist, also recognised as one of the World's Greatest Magicians.. He's a mentor & and teacher in magic.. One of the great minds behind famous magicians like Lance Burton, Criss Angel, Penn & Teller! Session started with Johnny's performance of his personal effects! First there was his Fabulous 3 Balls Trick! With 2 ladies..  A hankerchief.. A ball..  Not just 1.. But 3 balls!  Yes.. He has 3 balls.. =X *What am I thinking?!* Do check out Johnny Thompson's Fabulous 3 Balls Trick Next was his egg bag routine!  Stunning, Magical, Flawless! Yes! Even Kyle agrees!  Lol! He did some mentalism effects too..! Superb performer.. Indeed a top notch magician! After today, I know why.. Johnny Thompson's is extremely powerful in subconsciously suggesting thoughts! Lol! I'm SERIOUS..! =P See?  Johnny: "I'll pluck your balls if you do not pick the 3 of spades!" Who doesn't freak out? You tell me?! Lol! Oh yes! He did some amazing effects on the table too! Johnny Thompson's "Disappearing Act"!  I'm sorry, that was MOSES. =X I guess everyone learnt something from the lecture.. And to end it off..   That's everyone! =D Oh yes! Not forgetting to introduce my new balloon creation before this post ends! Yep! It's my new prototype heart! =D  Wonder who I gave this heart to..? I didn't know her name and I'm surprised she knows mine!!! What a magician! Lol! Who? Who? Who? More magic to come! =D It's Singapore Poly's Oops! Hook'd Beach Festival! Coincidentally I was doing balloon sculpturing for my school's event! Extremely fun I would say..~ (What would you expect from Siloso Beach?!) =X Anyway.. Did a couple of crazy thing during this event.. First was to climb over the fence with my huge bag of balloons!!! (Couldn't locate the entrance..) =S Yes! Paul could climb fences too! OMG! I was a little panicky as the fence was on the verge of breaking down! Freaky~! Still, I made it! *Clap Clap!* Cool shit.. I was immediately requested to make a balloon G-string for this guy.. Moses did the top! Lol~ You wouldn't believe the final results! That crazy arse even went on stage with the balloon bikini! Photos are with Johnathan.. Try to upload soon! =D Rest of the day was rather normal.. Except for the terrifying weather! What to do.. Doing balloons outdoors.. Worse still by the beach!!! Ok... Challenge comes.. Apparently this girl, Pearlie, being a little more creative than other girls I think, requested for a.. Heart-shaped bracelet and a STRAWBERRY! Exciting challenge har..! Yes! Made a prototype heart-shaped bracelet.. &... My first STRAWBERRY was born!!! Yea~ Pearly! (That should be her name?!) =X She was delighted! Or seemingly delighted?! Lol!  And satisfied! After drawing the little dots on the strawberry~ I can sense guys envying my job har! =D  Yea! I love my job! *Erhem* I mean I love sculpturing balloons!!! =D That's all for now folks! *Too excited & busy.. Lack of photos* More next time! =) Kahhong's gonna sell his life to the army coming 9th July! Well, last dinner with him before he goes "botak"! Seriously food overload.. Headed to Glutton's Bay outside Esplanade.. Fried Kway Teow, Hokkien Mee, Fried Oyster, Satay, Chicken Wings, Carrot Cake, Hotplate Beancurd! *Of course all of 7 us shared!* Caught a piano performance in the Esplanade followed by a tasty chocolate fondue to end the night! Found some REALLY interesting art works while heading to the Esplanade.. Lol! Check these out...  Err... No idea what this is or means.. I'm so not artistic.. =P But they certainly look like...  Erhem.. I dunno?
*Innocent* =X Anyway.. Alan's so sweet! He wrote this!  W360 Rocks! Yes.. Not so sweet when u see this..  Crazy bunch of friends..=D Take care Kahhong! =D We'll miss you! Nothing much... The usuals.. Well.. Moses went crazy and made himself a dragon after seeing mine fly like hotcakes! =D Shhh.. I think mine's fiercer! =P Moses's dragon still cannot beat mine.. =D Still I think his dragon looks super cute!  Just like him! =X *Lalala* Oh yes! Check out my princess creation!  With Auntie Joan's guidance.. Lol! She said the boobs a little too big?! =P Pretty~ Yes! After going to the states for so long, Srinivasan's back to Singapore on holidays! Amazingly this Indian (Yes, he's from India.. You'll know why the emphasis towards the end.. =P) buddy of mine didn't get shot in the states.. =X Woo! Caught up with him after ages..
