1st AEON Balloon Festival

On 10-14th June, I was given the opportunity to take part in the 1st AEON Balloon Festival as a participant in both the workshop as well as the competition. The event was held at Malacca in the AEON Jusco shopping mall. The open concept of the competition drew a vast number of crowd. The competition was 50% based on the voting of the shoppers on that day, this perhaps added to the sense of involvement of the shoppers in this “festival”.

Below are some of the photos taken, for sharing =)

The 2 large scale fish shown below were done by Mr Stone Chang and his team of balloon artists from Taiwan.

Valentine’s Day Bazaar in NUS

blog_img_3667 blog_img_3654

On the 11th and 12th of February, Desmond and rented a stall at the NUS bazaar to do some Valentine’s Day sales. As 14th Feb falls on the 1st day of Chinese New Year, we figured this was the next best alternative. For this, we figured out some new ideas and creations as can be seen from the pictures. Personally, I played around with stuffing the soft toys into the balloons and the response was not too bad. Desmond’s sunflower was a hot item too! Despite the disappointing sales on day one, we had much fun jamming the whole day. The sales was better on day two due to the support of many friends. You guys rock!

Tampines West CC YEC BGM with friends from Alpha Plus

T’was a rainy afternoon and some 20 pairs of hands worked non stop for the event later in the evening, the BGM for TWCC YEC. Personally I didn’t contribute much. Notably, I made a pair of fuwa and some teeny weeny bits of decorations. The balloon backdrop was a combined effort of everybody. Was so much fun that night!
